Clear Braces and Invisalign
We treat children, teens and adults with orthodontics. Because adults sometimes wish to avoid the appearance and lifestyle adjustments of traditional braces, we also offer Invisalign clear braces for older teens and adults to achieve a straight, healthy smile.
In most cases, Invisalign will solve the problem of crooked teeth including overcrowded, overlapping teeth or uneven spacing. For complex bite issues, traditional braces may result in a better outcome.
An orthodontic evaluation in our North Tamworth dental clinic will help our dentists determine the proper course of treatment to help you achieve an attractive smile, comfortable joints and improved function.
It’s never too late for a straight smile. If you are a patient seeking cosmetic or restorative treatment at Oasis Smiles Dental, opting to begin with braces or Invisalign first will often improve your outcome.
Benefits of a straight smile:
- Easier to clean teeth
- Improved restorative options
- More comfortable bite
- Proper jaw function
- Reduced wear
- Beautiful results
- Increased self-confidence
If you live in the North Tamworth area and have questions about your bite or the appearance of your smile, contact us to arrange an evaluation. Our comprehensive approach to dentistry is designed to provide ideal results that last a long time.
Many patients ask about Invisalign because it is a discreet way to straighten your teeth. With this option, you wear clear aligners and don’t have to worry about metal brackets and wires. It is the ideal treatment for adults who want a straight smile without drawing attention.
Invisalign begins with a consult in our dental clinic. Your dentist assesses your teeth, takes x-rays, and talks to you about your expectations. Your dentist can tell you during this consult how long you’ll need to wear Invisalign. The treatment can take anywhere from several months up to two years.
Invisalign relies on impression results taken in our dental clinic. We send the results to the Invisalign lab where they create a series of custom aligners. You wear each aligner for about two weeks before moving on to the next. When you finish the supply, therapy is complete.
After treatment, your dentist creates a custom retainer to remind your teeth to stay in their new straight positions.

Invisalign® clear aligners are a popular way to discreetly reposition your teeth. Because they are nearly invisible, you can smile with confidence during your orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners can also be removed so you can eat, brush and floss, allowing you to maintain your oral hygiene and avoid tooth decay.
So, how often should you visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment? Keep reading to find out.

While Invisalign is a fantastic option for straightening teeth discreetly and comfortably, some teeth can be a bit more stubborn when it comes to movement. In general, the molars, especially the wisdom teeth, are the most difficult to shift with Invisalign aligners.
Molars have multiple roots and are located in the back of your mouth. Because of their size and strong anchorage in the jawbone, they require more force and time to reposition. Wisdom teeth are particularly tricky. Not only are they harder to move, but in many cases, they may not be ideal candidates for movement at all. Removal may be recommended before starting treatment if they’re impacted or crowding other teeth.
Front teeth, like incisors and canines, tend to move more easily and show faster results, so patients often notice visible changes there first. Invisalign has come a long way with technological advances, and even complex cases can be managed with attachments or additional tools.
