Step One - Invisalign® consultation and records
Your Invisalign® journey begins with a complimentary consultation. We take our time to talk to you. We ask questions. We listen. We work with you to create a treatment plan that will work for you not – just for your teeth but for your lifestyle, not just for today but for the future.
We also undertake a thorough examination of your teeth and smile to determine your suitability for Invisalign®. Then, you will be given a rough outline of your total treatment duration, the category you fall under and as well as the complete costs involved.
During this appointment, an accurate scan is taken of your smile using Invisalign's® iTero 3D Scanner without the need for impressions. The scanner is much more comfortable and provides superior accuracy and precision. This scan is then used to map out a 3D custom simulation called Clincheck.

Step Two - Clincheck 3D discussion
The ClinCheck software allows us to map out the path to your new smile, right down to the tiniest detail and you will get to see an accurate preview of your teeth moving from the moment you start wearing Invisalign®, to the day you remove them.
Your feedback will be invaluable as we work closely with you to make changes to the smile design, to suit your facial aesthetics, as well as your desired outcome. We create a personalised roadmap of your treatment, helping to ensure each tooth moves in the correct order at the correct time, like a well-orchestrated dance. Once you're ready to proceed, we then approve and manufacture the first set of your customised Invisalign® aligners.
Step Three - Oral Wellness Visit
Prior to treatment, we must examine you-including your oral and gum health. We would never recommend treatment unless we are confident that the desired result can be safely and effectively achieved and that your teeth and gums are in good health.

Step Four - Fitting your first clear aligners
Your first set of custom Invisalign® aligners will arrive approximately 2-4 weeks from your scan appointment. While you’re here, we’ll make sure that your aligners fit perfectly on you and your teeth. All the information you need to look after your aligners will be provided. You’ll need to wear each aligner for one to two weeks as prescribed. For your convenience, 3-4 sets of aligners will be dispensed to you at each appointment to reduce your number of visits.
Step Five - Monthly appointments
Most patients typically visit us every 4-8 weeks to track the movement of their teeth. Each appointment goes on for approximately 10 minutes and we update your teeth models so that your aligners reflect real-time progress. During this time, we’ll also provide you with the next series of aligners and address any concerns you may have.
Step Six - Aftercare
After completing your Invisalign® or orthodontic treatment, we will provide you with one set of upper and lower retainers. Retainers are required to keep your teeth in their new positions and regular retainer wear is necessary to preserve your new smile! We also recommend that you maintain your oral health with a regular Oral Wellness Visit every 6 months.
Bonus Teeth Whitening
Once the teeth are in the perfect position, most of our packages include a complimentary tooth whitening treatment to brighten your smile.
