Invisalign and Clear Aligners for Discreet Teeth Straightening
Invisible, removable, comfortable and often a fast treatment option, our clear aligners will fit seamlessly and discreetly into your busy lifestyle. Depending on your orthodontic needs and budget, you can enjoy a more even smile with either Invisalign, ClearCorrect™, CFast™, Spark or Angel Aligners.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
A gold standard for teeth alignment treatment, Invisalign clear aligners have become a popular option for teenagers and adults who want to improve their smiles without the noticeable look of traditional braces. This modern approach to teeth straightening uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are almost invisible. They are created with advanced technology to fit snugly over your teeth, gently guiding them into place without the need for metal brackets or wires. Thus, they offer a discreet alternative for achieving a straighter smile.

ClearCorrect™
ClearCorrect™ is an effective and affordable alternative to Invisalign that still delivers great results in straightening your teeth. It is very popular among adults as it is very comfortable and easy to use, making it a clear and simple alternative to braces.
With ClearCorrect™, there’s no need to visit a dentist every month to change wires or brackets. This wonderful appliance is removable, which means that you can remove them when eating, enabling you to easily clean your teeth thoroughly afterwards. Most people start to see results within a few days, whereas with fixed braces it could take several weeks to see the same movement.
Cfast™
Dental Excellence is proud to offer the revolutionary new teeth aligning system, Cosmetically Focused Adult Straight Teeth, or Cfast™. This recently developed orthodontic technology has been shown to straighten adult teeth in as little as eight weeks.
Cfast™ focuses mainly on treating your most prominent front six teeth – known as the “social six”. This means that Cfast™ can create a great positive influence on your smile, far more quickly and affordable than you may have ever imagined.

Traditional Dental Braces
Dental braces are orthodontic appliances used to correct the alignment of teeth and jaws. Braces consist of small brackets, archwires, and sometimes elastics that apply steady, gentle pressure to move teeth into better positions. They are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults. From complex bite issues to severe overcrowding, dental braces can address the widest range of dental issues compared to other orthodontic appliances.
Besides teeth straightening, braces can help improve oral hygiene by making it easier to keep your teeth clean and healthy.
Early Intervention for Children
Although teeth straightening treatments are best suited for teenagers and adults, it’s recommended for children aged 8-10 years to see an orthodontist for preventative orthodontic treatment.
This is because orthodontists are trained to identify early childhood jaw, dental and growth pattern abnormalities, and manipulating softer bones and teeth into the correct position is much easier.
Early intervention has been shown to treat children’s orthodontic problems such as protruding teeth and crossbites, as well as being crucial for guiding jaw growth and preventing severe crowding later on.

Benefits of Orthodontics and Teeth Straightening
While many patients think of orthodontics as an effective way to improve the aesthetics of their smile, orthodontic treatment can also be very beneficial to your oral health and function.
We typically correct teeth that are misaligned, crowded, gapped and spaced as well as realigning overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites using a tailored treatment program to suit your exact needs.
Modern orthodontic treatment is now faster, more comfortable, and more effective than in years past, making now a great time to straighten your smile.
Improved Confidence and Oral Health
Correctly aligned teeth are generally at lower risk for common dental problems such as tooth decay. This is because straighter teeth are also easier to clean, therefore reducing the risk of plaque formation and periodontal (gum) disease. Orthodontics can also correct bite issues, making it easier for you to chew, eat, and speak properly.
The Long-Term Health Benefits
Healthy, straight teeth don’t just look good, they play an important role in improving your overall quality of life in many ways. Choosing orthodontics is an investment in your future wellbeing through:
- Easier removal of harmful plaque
- Correction of overbites, underbites and crossbites
- Reduced wear and tear on tooth enamel
- Alleviation of jaw pain and TMJ issues

Factors Affecting Duration

The Phases of Orthodontic Treatment
Your orthodontic journey with Dental Excellence consists of 3 parts:
- Consultation/Scans
At your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your treatment goals and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your facial structure, teeth, mouth and jaw. - Active Movement Phase
Once you begin your treatment, your teeth will be gradually and gently moved into new positions, giving you a straighter smile. - Retention Phase (wearing a retainer).
Once your teeth have reached their target position, they’ll need to be anchored into this new spot to avoid shifting back. Wearing retainers can avoid the risk of further movement.
