Understanding clear aligners.
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth and move them gradually into a straighter position.
You wear each set for a couple of weeks before moving to the next, and because they are removable, you simply take them out to eat, drink and clean your teeth. There are no wires or brackets, so they stay comfortably out of the way.
As a certified Invisalign provider, A M Dental plans your treatment digitally so you can often preview your projected smile before you even begin. Clear aligners suit a wide range of cases, from mild crowding to more involved movements, and their removable, near-invisible design makes them a popular choice for adults and older teens alike.
Your smile, on your schedule.
Custom clear aligners — including Invisalign — straighten your teeth with barely-there trays you remove to eat, brush and photograph, planned digitally from day one.
Is this right for you?
- Adults and older teens who want a discreet alternative to fixed braces
- People who value being able to remove trays to eat and clean normally
- Patients with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or bite concerns
- Anyone self-conscious about metal brackets showing at work or events
- Those disciplined enough to wear their trays the recommended hours daily
What to expect, step by step.
Digital Consultation
We scan your teeth and use digital planning to map each movement, often letting you preview your projected result before you commit to treatment.
Your Custom Trays
A personalised series of clear aligners is made just for you, each tray precisely shaped to guide your teeth one small step at a time.
Wearing the Aligners
You wear each set for around twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean, then switch to the next tray on schedule.
Progress Reviews
You pop in for occasional check-ups so we can confirm your teeth are tracking to plan and hand over your next sets of aligners.
Final Result and Retainer
When you reach your last tray and your teeth are beautifully aligned, we fit a retainer to protect and preserve your new smile.
Clear Aligners, answered.
They are clear and closely fitted, so they are very hard to spot in everyday conversation. Most people won't notice you are wearing them unless you point it out.
You take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water, which means no food restrictions. Just brush before popping them back in to keep everything fresh.
It varies with your case, but many people complete treatment within six to eighteen months. We will give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Don't panic. Contact us and we will advise whether to move to your next set or replace the tray, so your progress stays on track.
Clear aligners like Invisalign can handle a broader range of cases with in-clinic reviews, while Zenyum focuses on milder, budget-friendly cases with remote monitoring. We will help you choose.
