Looking for a straighter smile without the look or feel of traditional braces? At Profile Orthodontics, our clear aligner treatments are designed with adults in mind – discreet, comfortable, and perfectly suited to busy lifestyles.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays made from smooth, medical-grade thermoplastic. Worn over your teeth, they apply gentle pressure to gradually move them into better alignment. Because they’re nearly invisible and easy to remove, aligners fit seamlessly into both personal and professional routines.

At Profile Orthodontics, we offer leading aligner systems (including Invisalign^® treatment) that are custom-designed for precision, comfort, and results. Each set of aligners is digitally planned to move your teeth efficiently, with minimal disruption to your daily life.

How do clear aligners work?

To be effective, aligners should be worn 22 hours per day, only removed for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, or special occasions. You'll change to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks based on your customised treatment plan.

In some cases, we use small, tooth-coloured attachments to help the aligners apply force more precisely. These are removed at the end of your treatment.

Your treatment journey

Free assessment

We begin with a no-obligation consultation to determine if clear aligners are the right fit for your needs.

Digital records & treatment planning

If you’re a suitable candidate, we take digital photos, review any recent X-rays, and use a 3D digital scanner to map out your current bite. We’ll use this data to create a precise plan showing how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.

Custom-made aligner trays

Once your plan is approved, your custom aligners are manufactured using advanced digital technology. They’re designed to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth for optimal results.

First fitting appointment

At your first fitting, we’ll deliver your initial aligners and place any necessary attachments. You’ll receive full instructions on how to wear and care for them, and what to expect throughout the process.

Benefits of clear aligners for adults

Discreet and professional – Clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them perfect for work and social settings.
Removable – Take them out for meals, brushing, or important occasions.
Comfortable – Smooth plastic means no irritation to cheeks or gums.
Minimal appointments – With remote monitoring and pre-planned movements, in-person visits are less frequent.
No dietary restrictions – Since aligners are removed for eating, you can enjoy all your favourite foods without worry.

Things to keep in mind

Consistency matters – Aligners must be worn 22 hours a day for effective results. Inconsistent wear can delay progress.
Must be removed to eat or drink – This can be inconvenient in certain settings, but quickly becomes a habit.
Not suitable for all cases – While effective for many adults, some complex orthodontic issues may still be better suited to braces.
Easy to misplace – Since aligners are removable, they can be lost or damaged if not handled carefully.
