Invisalign clear aligners are the original alternative to traditional braces. They are a preferred choice for adults and teenagers alike because they are a discreet way to straighten teeth with an efficient system that is easy to care for. Our team of professionally trained dentists are experienced with Invisalign and the technology that goes with it, and can help align your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a system that utilises clear, plastic trays that fit over your teeth to bring them into alignment with each other. Often used for mild to moderate crowded and crooked teeth, this is an option for patients who want straighter teeth but do not want or require traditional metal braces.
The aligner trays are made of BPA-free plastic. Patients appreciate them because not only are they practically invisible to others, but they are removable, making them and your teeth easier to clean than with traditional braces.
The Benefits of Invisalign at Diggers Rest Dental House
The Benefits of Invisalign at Diggers Rest Dental House
When you come to Diggers Rest Dental House for Invisalign, you can expect attentive care from a team dedicated to your oral health and smile improvement goals. We have helped many patients with Invisalign and are experienced with the technology it takes to straighten teeth. The following are some of the benefits of Invisalign:
Discreet and clear trays so they are barely noticeable to others
No restricted diets because you can remove the trays while you eat and put them back in when you’re done
Fewer appointments as there is no need to come in for tightening or adjustments
May offer improved comfort over metal braces as there are no metal brackets or wires that can irritate the soft tissue inside your mouth
May be gentler than metal braces as there is no need for tightening, which can cause head or jaw pain for some patients
Can be removed to play sports
Can be temporarily removed for events such as a wedding or holiday
In addition to the above, our professionally trained staff will monitor your progress throughout. Sometimes teeth may not move exactly as predicted, but if this happens, we can adjust your future trays accordingly. This helps support a smoother and more predictable treatment outcome.
Straighter teeth also have broader oral health benefits. They are easier to clean and care for, with fewer spaces for debris to accumulate, which can contribute to tooth decay and infection if left unaddressed. Straighter teeth may also support a more even bite, reducing the risk of tooth damage and discomfort over time.
Invisalign System Technology
Invisalign incorporates a system using the latest technology to support effective teeth alignment. Beginning with diagnostic tools such as 3D scanning, digital x-rays and 3D treatment planning and design, your entire treatment programme is custom created for you. The Invisalign system uses virtual modelling software that creates your trays based on the specific movement of each tooth in the correct order.
SmartTrack is the patented material used in the teeth alignment process. Each tray is created for your teeth and corresponds with the movement that each tooth needs at the right time. ClinCheck is a visualisation tool used to plan your treatment and gives you an indication of the results you may expect. Patented SmartForce technology is a set of attachments used to help Invisalign trays create the right movement for each tooth.

Who Can Get Invisalign?
Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system designed for patients with mild to moderate malocclusions, otherwise known as misaligned teeth. It is appropriate mainly for adults and teenagers who want their teeth straighter but do not want metal braces. It can help with dental concerns such as crooked teeth, overbites, underbites and closing small gaps between teeth. It may also help patients with mildly narrow dental arches.
Invisalign may not be appropriate if your teeth are very crowded, crooked or positioned too high into the gum line. Aligners must be worn 20–22 hours each day, so may not be suitable for children or patients who are unable to follow the wear protocol. Some patients may need one or two teeth removed before starting Invisalign. In any case, our dentists are experienced with Invisalign and can assess whether this treatment is right for you or your family member.

Risks and Recovery
Like any orthodontic treatment, Invisalign comes with potential risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Mild discomfort or pressure when changing to a new set of aligners
- Temporary irritation to the cheeks, lips, or tongue
- Short-term changes to speech, usually resolving as you adapt
- Risk of cavities or gum irritation if aligners are not cleaned properly
- Small chance of aligners warping if exposed to heat
Recovery considerations:
- Many patients adapt to aligner wear within a few days
- Aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning, so there is no dietary restriction
- Consistency is important, as aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day for the best results
- Regular reviews are scheduled to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed
