Align with LUME
Our clear aligners are discreet, comfortable, and highly effective. We create transparent, removable aligners, so you can get a brand new smile without anyone noticing you’re even wearing them.
We don’t just do clear aligners, we also provide traditional metal braces or ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces for more complex alignment. Whatever you’re hoping to achieve, we’ll help you choose the best option for your lifestyle and dental needs.
Problems we solve with LUME aligners
Crooked teeth
Misaligned teeth can affect both your smile and your bite. Aligner treatment gently moves them for a more balanced look.
Gaps
Gaps between your teeth can trap food and bacteria. Closing these spaces improves your oral health as well as appearance.
Overbite
When the upper front teeth cover the lower teeth, alignment creates a more even bite, improving chewing, oral health, and pain.
Underbite
When the lower teeth cover the upper teeth (opposite of an overbite), treatment can help restore balance and improve function.
Overjet
A protruding upper jaw, often caused by genetics and childhood habits, can be corrected with conventional braces or aligners.
Crossbite
When upper teeth sit inside the lower jaw on only one side of the smile, aligners or braces help bring your smile back into alignment.

Invisalign®
Invisalign® is one of the world’s leading aligner systems, known for its speed and versatility and loved by doctors. Over 20 million patients use it, and it’s estimated to have a significant success rate. Like traditional braces, it uses gentle pressure to gradually and comfortably move your teeth, but the Invisalign® aligners are removable and almost invisible.
With Invisalign®, you’ll get to be involved in creating your perfect smile from start to finish, with digital scans and 3D images that show you realistic results.
Eating and cleaning are simple with Invisalign®, just remove your aligner before meals or brushing and pop it back in afterwards.
Fixed braces: tried, tested, refined
Clear aligners aren’t the only option available at LUME. Traditional metal braces and clear braces have straightened teeth for generations. We use a refined process that builds on countless successful past treatments. With tailored treatment at LUME, you could soon enjoy the many benefits of straighter teeth.
What to expect from fixed braces
The prep
We begin with a full diagnosis and treatment plan, which determines the precise movements required to straighten your teeth perfectly.
The fitting
Your dentist will fit brackets and a wire to your teeth and show you how to care for your braces for the best results.
The tweaks
You’ll come in for regular visits to tighten the wires, which helps your teeth move closer to the correct position over time.
The reveal
We’ll do one last check and carefully remove the brackets one by one, revealing your perfect new smile!

FAQs about clear aligners at LUME Dental
Thinking about LUME clear aligners? Many patients are curious about treatment before deciding whether it’s right for them. Our FAQs answer your questions to help you make your decision confidently.
Are clear aligners or traditional braces better?
It depends on your goals and lifestyle, but we’ll help you decide what’s best for your smile.
| Feature | Clear Aligners | Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Almost invisible | Visible (metal or ceramic) |
| Removable | Yes | No |
| Best for | Mild to moderate cases | All case types, especially complex |
| Diet | No restrictions | Some food restrictions |
| Cleaning | Easy to brush/floss | Requires extra care |
| Adjustments | Fewer visits | Regular tightening appointments |
Can I still play sports or a musical instrument?
Yes! With aligners, just take them out while playing. With braces, we may recommend a protective mouthguard.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may notice some slight discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, but that just means they’re working! Most patients find that it settles within a few days.
Are fixed braces painful?
With braces, you might feel some slight tightness after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief usually helps, and discomfort fades within a few days.
How often will I need to come in for check-ups?
Clear aligners: Every 6–8 weeks or less, depending on your plan.
Fixed braces: Around every 6–8 weeks for adjustments.
