Discreet, Comfortable, and Effective Teeth Straightening
Invisalign is a modern and nearly invisible solution for teeth straightening. With a discreet and comfortable design Invisalign is an excellent alternative to traditional braces. It makes orthodontic treatment less noticeable and more convenient for both adults and teens.
What is Invisalign?
Clear Aligners for Teeth Straightening
At Lucas Dental we use Invisalign clear aligners that are custom-made for each patient. The aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. A much more convenient and effective way to create a straighter smile without the need for metal brackets or wires.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?
Our patients prefer Invisalign over invisible braces for several reasons. You can remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing making it a more comfortable and flexible choice for teeth straightening. The aligners are also nearly invisible which means you can have orthodontic work done without altering your appearance in the meantime.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Consultation and Custom Treatment Plan
During your initial consultation, one of our friendly staff members or orthodontist will assess your teeth and develop a personalised Invisalign treatment plan using 3D imaging technology. This allows for precise tracking of tooth movement over the course of the treatment so we can make necessary adjustments as we go. If you want to book in for an Invisalign consultation, just click .
Receiving Your Custom Aligners
Our patients receive a series of removable aligners they must wear for 20-22 hours per day. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before switching to the next set, gradually moving the teeth into the ideal positions.
Monitoring Progress and Making Adjustments
Regular check-ups at Lucas Dental are essential to monitor the Invisalign process. We can adjust your treatment plan as needed to make sure your teeth are moving as expected and that you’re on track for your desired Invisalign outcome.
Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Appearance
One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that they’re nearly invisible. Clear aligners are hardly noticeable, which makes them an ideal choice for patients who feel self-conscious about how braces might look during treatment.
Removable and Convenient
Unlike traditional invisible braces, Invisalign aligners are removable so you can take them out when eating, brushing, or flossing. Our patients prefer the flexibility of Invisalign over traditional braces.
Comfortable and Gentle
Because Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic they are much more comfortable than metal braces. They are designed to fit snugly over the teeth, ensuring minimal irritation and rubbing of the gums and soft tissues in the mouth.
Predictable Results
Thanks to our custom-designed plans at Lucas Dental our Invisalign treatment gives predictable results, with fewer office visits and adjustments compared to traditional orthodontic treatments.
Who is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign for Adults

Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign for teens is an excellent and flexible solution for younger patients. Teens can enjoy sports, eat their favourite foods and participate in social activities without worrying about metal braces getting in the way.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Wearing and Caring for Invisalign Aligners
For best results, Invisalign aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours a day. Our patients should clean their aligners regularly to prevent staining and to maintain proper oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.
