What is Invisalign? An Overview

If you’ve ever dreamed of having straighter teeth but hesitated at the thought of metal braces, you’re not alone. Many teens and adults today are turning to more subtle, flexible, and modern alternatives. At Stadium Dental, we’re proud to offer Invisalign, an advanced orthodontic treatment that lets you transform your smile—without compromising your lifestyle. Whether you’re preparing for a big event, looking to boost your confidence, or simply want better dental health, Invisalign could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth gradually using a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays. Each aligner is crafted from SmartTrack® material, which is known for its comfort and precision. The treatment begins with a 3D digital scan of your mouth, allowing your dentist to create a personalised plan tailored to your unique smile.

These clear aligners are worn over your teeth and gently shift them into place over time. Every 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each one moving your teeth closer to their ideal position. The best part? Invisalign aligners are almost invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Who is Invisalign For?

Invisalign is suitable for both teenagers and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. You may be a good candidate if you have:

  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between your teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Crowded teeth

Invisalign is ideal for patients who want a more aesthetic, comfortable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional braces. It’s also perfect for those with active social or professional lives who prefer a more discreet option. During your consultation at Stadium Dental, we’ll assess your bite, alignment, and goals to see if Invisalign is right for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your Invisalign journey with Stadium Dental is a collaborative and guided process. Here’s what you can expect step-by-step:

  1. Initial Consultation
    We’ll sit down with you to discuss your goals and evaluate your smile. Using our advanced iTero® digital scanner, we’ll create a 3D image of your teeth. No messy impressions!
  2. Personalised Treatment Plan
    We’ll map out your treatment timeline and show you a digital preview of how your smile will improve. You’ll be able to visualise each stage of your transformation.
  3. Receiving Your Aligners
    Once your aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day—removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss.
  4. Progress Check-Ups
    Every 6 to 8 weeks, we’ll check your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. These visits are typically shorter and less frequent than with traditional braces.
  5. Retention Phase
    Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers to maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Treatment duration can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most people complete Invisalign within 6 to 18 months.
