My wife Portia and I have been received as new patients today, thorrow inspection including 3D X-Ray and scan, detailed personal inspection and advice by the dentist and a very well done cleaning. I have never even in Germany been treated so well with so much attention like at Optismile. The view onto the ocean from the treatment chair was stunning. Highly recommended!

I was very impressed with Optismile in general and will definitely give them five stars. The whole approach from reception to dentistry is very professional and efficient. The work that was conducted was excellent and to my satisfaction and the friendliness and service from the particular Dentist who assisted me, Dr Juanette Du Toit, is certainly appreciated. I would recommend the dentistry and this particular dentist.

Highly recommend this practice! Dr. Clifford and the entire team were incredibly friendly, informative, professional, patient, and so much more. My older sibling recommended this practice to me and said it was even better than the dental offices we visit in the U.S., as we are visitors to CPT. She was absolutely right! This has become my favorite dental practice, and with my frequent visits to CPT, it will definitely be my go to office moving forward. Dr. Clifford carefully reviewed everything that had been explained to me by my U.S. dental provider and quickly recognized that I was being recommended treatment that were not needed and that they were trying to take advantage of me. The technology at OptiSmiles is far more advanced than what I have experienced at many dental practices in the States. Communication is also excellent! You’ll receive responses quickly, and the team is always willing to help. I have complete confidence in OptiSmiles and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality dental care. They are not focused on upselling services or taking your money. Instead, they genuinely care about your dental health, your smile, and providing the best care possible.

An exceptional experience from start to finish. My journey was a year long & covered replacing old fillings on numerous teeth, Invisalign, cleaning, crowns & injection moulding for that perfect smile. Dr Clifford & Dr Harris are two gentlemen that take the utmost pride in their jobs & attention to detail is key for them. No amount of time spent with them is too long & they never rush you, they answer the same questions over & over with clarity. They make you feel comfortable & that your journey matters, you are not just another client. All the staff are so in sync & as you move from one step to the next all are ready for you. The detailed reports you receive, the reminders for appointments, their equipment & programs used along with the friendliness of all make this journey a pleasant one for a process that usually is not. I can only highly recommend this practice for ALL your dental needs & thank all involved for the exceptional treatment & service!

I had an excellent experience at OptiSmile. My appointment with Aaqilah , the hygienist, was outstanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns and carefully explained every step of the process, which immediately put me at ease. OptiSmile’s new Swiss-made AIRFLOW machine made the cleaning experience remarkably gentle and comfortable. I walked out with a huge smile and noticeably cleaner teeth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a modern, professional, and genuinely caring dental experience.

My 2 year old got injured on his front teeth during the festive season and there were not alot of paedi-dentist on-call. Struggled to find anyone available until I bumped into optismile website and contacted Dr. Yudelman. He was very hands on with giving us referrals and assisting with what we need to do in the mean time as we looked for someone available. I am forever grateful for him taking his time and always following up on us. Thank you so much Doc, God bless.

Juanette takes time to explains what need to be done. She proposes crowns but also respect patients who choose for repair of fillings. I like that approach. I am in the dentists hands but can make my own choice! This was my 3rd visit and I will ask next time for her again.

I had the opportunity to spend time at OptiSmile as a dental student visiting from the United States, and I can confidently say it was one of the best shadowing experiences I’ve had. Although I was not a patient, Dr. Yudelman and the entire staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional from the moment I arrived. Dr. Yudelman went out of his way to make me feel included and truly immersed in the practice, taking the time to show me everything they had going on and allowing me to observe different aspects of the clinic. What stood out most was how intentional he was about teaching and sharing his knowledge. It was clear that he genuinely cares about mentorship and creating a positive learning environment. The entire team also contributed to making the experience so comfortable and enjoyable. On top of that, the office itself is absolutely beautiful—modern, well-organized, and very patient-centered. I’m very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend OptiSmile, both for patients and for students seeking meaningful exposure to dentistry.

Had an outstanding experience. Dr. Harris and Dr. Clifford were incredibly friendly and professional throughout. My teeth were slightly angled inward, so they treated it with a short course of Invisalign, followed by bleaching and bonding. The final result lools brilliant. So happy woth my new Smile.

Dr. Cara and the Optismile team is simply the best dental experience I’ve had; including having lived in London and NYC for most of my adult life. The Optismile service is second to none and Dr. Cara’s clinical advice and work, great. I had multiple complicated dental issues, all of which were solved painlessly, quickly and efficiently. The consulting rooms are awesome as are the support team, billing process and very easy parking/access. March 2026. Update. Just visited Cape Town from NYC in order to be cleaned and checked up by Dr. Cara. I would only switch to another dentist if she was proven dead. Please don’t die Dr. Cara. Optismile is amazing because of you.

Without a doubt, the best dental practice. I initially came for an Invisalign consult and Dr Clifford gave me excellent advice about the pros and cons for my situation. Since then, I will only come here for my dental work. Dr Cara has become my regular dentist and I’ve never had such confidence in the state of my teeth. She is meticulous and takes exceptional pride in her work. Professional, friendly and always on time. They’ve done an outstanding job on a tricky front tooth veneer and addressed all my concerns. Similarly, the front desk are welcoming, responsive and always ‘on it.’ Your teeth are an investment and this is the place to do it.

Cannot thank Optismile enough. I've lived with a chipped tooth since my early teens, have had two dental visits in my life (before now), I'm now middle aged and can now remember how I looked (bar the couple decades😉) without a chipped tooth. Got my chipped tooth sorted, full clean and polish. Everything about the experience (not dental appointment/visit, "experience") was world class. From the location( sea views👌🏻), the tour of the practice (in a league of its own), the tech (again world class and in a league of its own) and most importantly the people (your good vibes kept me upbeat for the rest of the day😄). I left with an even bigger better smile, more informed, super super grateful and dumb founded at how a dental appointment could be an "experience". Super pleasant experience, thanks again.

Many thanks to Dr. Ruan and his team for a wonderful check up appointment and crown replacement. The office is state of the art. I have decades of dental visits under my belt and this was by far the most thorough and thoughtful. It’s so comforting to have every step explained in detail. HIGHLY recommend.

Mein Freund und ich sind aus der Schweiz und waren im Dezember bei Dr. Clifford in Kapstadt in Behandlung. Wir waren äusserst zufrieden. Die Praxis ist sehr modern, hervorragend ausgestattet und extrem hygienisch. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an gut aufgehoben und professionell betreut. Dr. Clifford und das Team waren freundlich, kompetent und haben sich viel Zeit genommen. Wir können die Praxis uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank, wir werden wieder kommen☺️

Many thanks to Dr Clifford and the team at Optismile in Seapoint for giving me a truly five star experience from start to finish. I landed at Cape Town airport with tooth pain, and was seen promptly, with treatment the next day. Everything was delivered with compassion and gentleness, and backed up with the highest level of technology and expertise - and I say this as a dentist myself! I would highly recommend OptiSmile for all your dental needs, both as a visitor or a local.

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.
