Get Straight Teeth and a Beautiful Smile
Invisalign Edinburgh
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. It uses a series of custom-made, clear, plastic aligners that fit snugly over the teeth. These aligners are changed every one to two weeks, with each new set gradually moving the teeth closer to the desired position. Invisalign is nearly invisible, making it a discreet option for orthodontic treatment, and it can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
It’s designed to treat a variety of dental issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, offering a more comfortable and convenient way to achieve a straighter smile.

The Clear Solution to Teeth Straightening
Say “goodbye” to traditional metal “train track” braces!
Get straight teeth and the smile you deserve with incredibly discrete, almost invisible, removable aligners that other people won’t even notice you’re wearing.
Invisalign aligners are also removable and allow you to eat and drink whatever you like.
Invisalign Can Help With:
open bites
If your upper and lower teeth don't touch when your mouth is closed, this is known as an open bite.
Crooked Teeth
People are said to have crooked teeth when the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw are poorly aligned.
crowded bites
Crowded teeth occur when there isn't enough room within the jaw for the teeth to fit together normally.
gapped teeth
When you have extra space between two or more of your teeth, this is known as gapped teeth.
cross bites
A crossbite is when some teeth sit inside the lower jaw instead of on the outside (as is normally the case).
under bites
Underbites occur when the lower front teeth rest in front of the upper teeth when the mouth is closed.
