Invisalign
The option described on this page.
Refine shape after
Composite bonding
Once teeth are in position, small differences in edge shape or width can be finished additively with composite.
Colour after
Teeth whitening
Whitening is commonly carried out after alignment, when every surface is accessible and the final position is set.
Restorative route
Ceramic veneers
Ceramic can mask position without moving teeth, but it does so by covering tooth structure rather than correcting the cause.
Suitability, complexity and likely duration are discussed openly.
A scan is used to plan tooth movement stage by stage.
Aligners are changed on a set schedule with periodic reviews.
Additional aligners are often used to finish detail movements.
Fixed and/or removable retainers hold the result.
Corrected positions are stable for as long as retainers are worn as instructed. Retention is lifelong.

Common questions
Yes. Invisalign is widely used by adults, provided the teeth and gums are healthy and the aligners are worn for the prescribed number of hours each day. Suitability is confirmed at an orthodontic assessment.
Often, yes. Correcting tooth position with clear aligners or fixed appliances frequently removes the need for veneers, or reduces the treatment to whitening and small amounts of bonding.
A makeover limited to whitening and bonding can take a few weeks. Where alignment is included first, the overall plan usually runs from several months to around a year, followed by retention and review.

Restorative alternative
Ceramic veneers
Ceramic can mask position without moving teeth, but it does so by covering tooth structure rather than correcting the cause.
Restore
Composite bonding is a treatment in which tooth-coloured resin is applied directly to the tooth surface and shaped by hand to alter its shape, edge position, colour or proportions, usually without removing healthy tooth tissue.
Enhance
A smile makeover is a planned combination of treatments — which may include alignment, whitening, bonding, ceramics or gum treatment — sequenced to change the appearance of the smile while protecting long-term dental health.
Enhance
Professional teeth whitening uses a regulated peroxide-based gel, prescribed by a dentist, to lighten the natural shade of teeth without removing tooth tissue.
Restore
A ceramic veneer is a thin, custom-made porcelain facing bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, colour or alignment, usually requiring a small amount of enamel to be prepared.
