What Clients Are Saying About OptiSmile

Couldn't be happier! Incredible service from start to finish with the entire team and Dr Harris & Clifford. Communicating via whatsapp and having friendly reception staff made the overall journey so much easier and enjoyable. Harris is THE guy to do invisilign with in South Africa and I can see why. 10/10 for results! Really enjoyed his personal and friendly approach ...he may even have convinced... me that I like going to the dentist now. To finish my dental journey, I had injection bonding with Dr Clifford who was just as amazing. Will definitely only be going to Optismile for all future dental procedures. Big thanks to everyoneread more

This is the most wonderful practice. I needed a lot of work done to my teeth and although I have a fear of dentists, I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I never had to wait, and the service was extremely efficient. I am very happy with the results.

Great service! I was on a cruise and chipped a tooth while at sea. I wanted to find a dentist at our next port in South Africa. I searched online and found OptiSmile. I was able to book an appointment online. The office was professional and the dentist fixed my tooth so that I could enjoy the rest of my cruise without worry. I highly recommend this practice.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I had been to many dentists all over the world to fix my teeth but all said it would take an average of two years. My entire treatment was complete within 4 months and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My teeth are perfect now and I cannot stop smiling. The staff and doctors were incredibly supportive and friendly and were always... available to answer any questions. This is by far the best experience I’ve ever had at any dentist and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the best!read more

I couldn't recommend this practice more. I got injection molding, fillings and general teeth whitening done. They only use the best equipment, I felt super safe and comfortable every consultation/treatment. The offices/rooms are beautifully designed, far better than any other practice I've been to.Kinan (dentist), Olwethu (assistant) and all the other assistants involved in my treatment have... been amazing. Super friendly, more than willing to explain their processes & help you pick the best treatment plan, and clearly care about their patients. Clear professionals, they're so good at what they do.I will say it's quite expensive but if you're able to pay for it, it is worth every cent!read more

I couldn’t have asked for more caring, kind and compassionate people to help me with my complicated case. I had a car accident many years ago and had prior work done by another practice which I started to experience severe problems with. I was so anxious to have them fixed but I’m so glad I came here and went ahead. They were incredible at taking care of my case and went above and beyond to make... me feel comfortable. Dr Clifford & his wife even came in on the weekend to help me when I was experiencing pain as well as dropped off painkillers and a care package when I was too weak to leave my house. I had to come in for an appointment on my birthday and the whole practice sang happy birthday to me. Thank you Optismile. I am very grateful for your professionalism, your thoughtfulness and for giving me my smile back! I will recommend you to everyone I know.read more

I expected professionalism at OptiSmile, of course. What really pleased me was the caring attitude and approach to patients. In addition, the office was gleaming, clean with all the latest technology to take the experience truly to the next level. Most of all, though, is my appreciation for Dr. Shaa. He was totally with me in guiding and helping me to understand the procedure and his... technique. I would highly recommend Dr. Shaa and OptiSmile. 5 stars +++.read more

Easy booking system. Instead of sitting in the waiting room filing in forms, I could do it online and save time. Was greeted and welcomed with a great smile and service by Widaad & I walked away with a whiter brighter smile given to me by Dr. Kinan and Olwethu, explaining the procedure step by step.

I've been to see Dr Yudelman for 2 Cerec restorations. I couldn't recommend him more highly. The practice is really professionally run and organised. Both procedures were completely, and I mean completely, pain free. I'd go as far as to say I actually enjoyed the experience.I’ve since been back for a third cerec restoration: Dr Clifford again did a flawless job. And once more, completely... painless.read more

Wow where do I begin ! I walked into OptiSmile looking for a second opinion on a fractured tooth that had been giving me trouble after a nasty fall I took 2 weeks prior. Tooth was in excruciating pain I could not chew or apply any kind of pressure on it. My previous dentist could not identify the fracture and suggested the tooth was bruised from almost being avulsed and needed time to heal. I... felt there was something wrong so I did a google search to see where else I could go. I came across OptiSmile and made my appointment. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with warmth and welcomed by the most beautiful environment - did not feel like a dentist at all. With state of the art equipment my dentist Dr. Louis identified the fracture in no time and concluded the tooth needed to be extracted - my worst nightmare !The period between my consultation and extraction procedure I had developed a stubborn infection but Dr. Louis and the staff were available to assist me immediately without hesitation or delay. The day of the extraction came and it was a complicated procedure because the tooth had fractured into three pieces, but I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort. The entire process, from the empathy to professionalism exceeded my expectations. I am so glad I made the choice to go here and this will now be my new dentist for life ! Thanks Dr. Louis and OptiSmile team!!!read more

I had an amazing experience with Dr Shaa! Highly recommend him for any cosmetic dentistry. I came for bonding and he was really patient with me — he gave me as much time as needed to decide on the shape of tooth and allowed me to come back anytime if I wanted to make some finishing touches. Overall a great experience at Optismile, will come back for sure.

What Is Invisalign® Teen?

Invisalign® Teen is a transformative orthodontic treatment tailored specifically for teenagers. Thanks to the technology embedded in these aligners, it delivers quicker treatment than traditional braces.

 

A key feature is the removability of Invisalign® Teen, offering your teenager the freedom to relish their favourite foods and participate in sports unencumbered. These aligners are almost invisible, a welcome departure from the ‘train track’ aesthetic associated with conventional braces.

 

As a parent, you won’t need to worry as much about emergency dental visits since there are no wires that are prone to breaking. Above all, each treatment plan is devised by our certified Invisalign experts, ensuring your teenager benefits from a personalised care plan crafted utilising the world’s most advanced transparent aligner system.

Why Is Invisalign® Teen Better Than Traditional Braces?

For several compelling reasons, Invisalign® Teen is superior to traditional braces. One significant factor is the innovative use of SmartTrack® material in the construction of Invisalign aligners. SmartTrack® ensures a more comfortable fit and ease of use, enhancing the treatment experience and effectiveness.

 

Invisalign treatment plans are backed by extensive research and a wealth of data derived from millions of patients worldwide. This results in a customised and predictably successful course of treatment devoid of guesswork.

 

With the assistance of the iTero Element® scanner, dental professionals can create a highly accurate 3D map of your teenager’s teeth. The iTero Element® scanner takes a staggering 6,000 images per second, resulting in fewer rejections than goopy and messy physical impressions.

Invisalign® Teen FAQs

Take a look at our most common questions about Invisalign® Teen. If you have further queries, please reach out to us for help.

Invisalign® Teen addresses challenges unique to adolescents, such as forgetting to wear aligners after eating or physical activities. This issue is mitigated by including a blue indicator dot, which tracks the duration worn for the aligners.

 

Both boast an invisible appearance, providing a discreet option for those wanting straighter teeth without traditional braces. The aligners are made from smooth plastic for enhanced comfort and custom fit. They can be removed for easy oral hygiene maintenance, ensuring healthier teeth and gums during treatment.

Invisalign® Teen has several distinct advantages that make it an appealing choice for orthodontic treatment. One of the most significant benefits is the comfort offered by these custom-made aligners. Crafted from smooth plastic and tailored to your teenager’s mouth, they perfectly align with the gum line, minimising discomfort and eliminating the risks of mouth injuries associated with traditional braces.

 

These aligners are virtually invisible, made from a transparent material, and meticulously moulded to fit your child’s mouth. This quality boosts the confidence of our young patients, allowing them to smile throughout the treatment without feeling self-conscious about the presence of brackets and wires.

 

The freedom to eat any food is another major plus point of Invisalign® Teen, unlike traditional braces, which can trap food. Invisalign® Teen aligners can be removed while eating, meaning no dietary restrictions during treatment.

 

Similarly, maintaining oral hygiene becomes much more straightforward with Invisalign® Teen. Removing the aligner is easy for brushing and flossing, so your child can continue with their regular cleaning routine without needing extra tools or techniques.
Invisalign® Teen appointments are typically shorter since no adjustments are needed like traditional braces.

 

Finally, Invisalign® Teen aligners do not interfere with contact sports or playing wind instruments. Your child can easily remove them, facilitating a minimal lifestyle change. This adaptability makes the transition to orthodontic treatment much smoother for young patients.
