Get straight teeth without braces from Torque Orthodontics. We’re a Diamond Invisalign provider and experience counts when choosing your Doctor.

Straight teeth without braces? Are you reading that right? Yes, you are, because at Torque Orthodontics we offer Invisalign. And not only do we offer it, we are recognised for our experience with it. Our specialist orthodontists have Diamond Invisalign status, which is an indication of their skill and knowledge using this orthodontic treatment method.

So what is Invisalign if it’s not braces? Invisalign is a orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth using a series of clear, medical grade, plastic aligners. These look like thin sports mouthguards and sit over the top of your teeth. What’s more, these aligners are virtually invisible so people around you won’t even know you’re having treatment.

Invisalign aligners are a registered medical device, you should always read and follow the label and the instructions of your treating orthodontist.

How does
Invisalign work?

We know these Invisalign aligners are sounding too good to be true, but take it from us, we have treated hundreds of patients over the years and have achieved great results for our patients. Here’s how it works.

The Invisalign process starts with an assessment of your teeth. We need to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you. If they are, we’ll proceed to the digital scanning stage where we use a state-of-the-art orthodontic scanner. This provides and accurate scan of your teeth. This scan along with your photos and x-rays are used by the orthodontist to create your treatment plan, ensuring your treatment goals are met. Custom aligners are then manufactured out of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible medical grade plastic. These aligners are designed to fit over the top of your teeth to guide them into position. Aligners are changed every 7-10 days with gradual teeth movement being achieved.

How invisalign works

Customised aligners
to guide your teeth

The aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements our orthodontists plan for you. Each aligner is worn for 7-10 days. After 7 or 10 days, simply remove your current set of aligners and replace it will the next one in the series. The average treatment length of Invisalign is 18-24 months.

Invisalign treatment is tailored to your teeth so the aligners will fit comfortably in your mouth. And because the aligners are clear there’s no compromise on your appearance.
