At Seapoint Clinic, your dentist will work with you to determine the best system for your needs, ensuring a tailored solution that fits your lifestyle.
Invisalign:
The Virtually Invisible Choice
Invisalign braces are particularly popular among our adult patients who prefer a discreet way to straighten their teeth.
This innovative treatment has transformed the smiles of countless individuals in Ireland who might never have considered traditional braces.
Invisalign involves wearing a series of customised, clear aligners that allow you to brush your teeth as usual and enjoy your favourite foods throughout treatment.
The average treatment time is approximately one year, though it can be shorter for cases requiring fewer adjustments. Invisalign® is also an excellent option for those who have experienced orthodontic relapse after wearing braces as children, helping to gently and discreetly realign their teeth.
Using aligners that are virtually invisible and custom-moulded to fit perfectly, Invisalign® gradually repositions your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud to show off.
3D Digital Scanner
At Seapoint Clinic, we use a high-tech 3D Scanner in order to capture images of your mouth. In just a minute or two, we scan your teeth and create an accurate 3D model of your mouth.
We then plan your treatment digitally, allowing you see your new smile play out before your own eyes. This latest technology is a game changer for Invisalign in Ireland as you can see your new smile before you start.

Invisalign® and Clear Braces FAQs
Are There Any Age Limits?
+
No, there are no age limits! Invisalign® and clear braces are suitable for everyone, whether you’re a teenager or in your golden years. Many patients in their 60s and 70s are now straightening their teeth and enhancing their smiles. It’s never too late to prioritise your dental health and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
What Does Invisalign® Treatment Feel Like?
+
The initial phase of Invisalign® treatment may take some getting used to, especially for adults. You might feel slight pressure or a new sensation in your mouth when first wearing your aligners.
After the first few days, most patients find the treatment becomes very comfortable. The gentle pressure used to move your teeth is a natural part of the process and an indication that it’s working. Any feeling of looseness is temporary and resolves once treatment is complete, leaving you with a confident, beautiful smile.es
How Long Does Invisalign® Treatment Take?
+
The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies based on your unique dental needs. On average, most cases are completed in about 12-18 months. Minor adjustments or corrections may take less time, while more complex cases could require a longer treatment period.t
Are Invisalign® Aligners Noticeable?
+
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible. Made from clear, BPA-free plastic, they fit snugly over your teeth and are difficult to detect during normal conversation. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.
Can I Eat Normally with Invisalign®?
+
Yes! Invisalign® aligners are removable, allowing you to eat whatever you like during treatment. Simply take out your aligners before meals and snacks, then brush and reinsert them after eating. This freedom makes Invisalign® a popular choice for busy lifestyles.
How Do I Clean My Aligners?
+
Cleaning your Invisalign® aligners is simple. Rinse them with lukewarm water and use a gentle toothbrush to remove any buildup. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Invisalign® also offers specialised cleaning products for added convenience.
Will Invisalign® Affect My Speech?
+
You may notice a slight lisp when you first start wearing aligners, but this usually resolves within a few days as you adjust. Most patients find that their speech returns to normal very quickly.
Do I Have to Wear Aligners All the Time?
+
To ensure the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is key to keeping your treatment on track.
Is Invisalign® Suitable for Severe Cases?
+
In many cases, Invisalign® can address even complex orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Your dentist will evaluate your needs and determine if Invisalign® is the right option for you.
What Happens After Invisalign® Treatment?
+
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back. Your dentist will provide guidance on the type of retainer and how often to wear it.
