What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a teeth straightening treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth into planned positions.
The aligners are made for the individual patient and may help address crowding, spacing, tooth position and some bite concerns.
They are less visible than metal braces and can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.
Invisalign may suit adults and teenagers, but suitability depends on the teeth, bite, case complexity and ability to wear the aligners as directed.
What Are The Benefits Of Invisalign?
Invisalign may suit people who want a less visible and removable teeth straightening option.
Can be less noticeable than metal braces
The clear aligners sit over the teeth and may be harder to notice during work, school or social settings.
Can be removed for meals
Patients can take the aligners out while eating, which may mean fewer food restrictions than fixed braces.
Can make daily cleaning simpler.
The aligners can be removed so you can brush and floss your teeth without brackets or wires in the way.
Can be planned around your teeth and bite
Treatment is based on an assessment, dental records and a plan created for your individual case.
May suit adults and teenagers
Invisalign can be considered for suitable adult and teen cases after an in-person assessment.
Can include professional supervision
Regular reviews allow the dentist to monitor progress and make changes where required.
What Happens During An Invisalign Consultation?
Initial Consultation
Your treatment starts with a free cosmetic consultation with the Brite Smiles Dental team.
When you first come into the clinic, our receptionist will welcome you in, make sure you’re comfortable and have you fill out a quick medical history form.
- You’ll then meet your dentist, Dr Kanika.
- Dr Kanika will take you back into the treatment room and listen to your needs.
Oral Health Evaluation
Dr Kanika will then conduct a thorough oral examination of your mouth to see where you stand.
The evaluation will also include digital scans and X-rays to see what’s underneath, and to make a proper diagnosis.
You’ll sit one-on-one with the dentist as she goes over everything she sees from the scans.
You’ll then be given a custom treatment plan. We’ll discuss all of your treatment options, so you’ll know what opportunities are available to you.
Your Options and Q&A
You’ll then meet Liv, our Treatment Coordinator.
Liv will detail your financing options to show you that Invisalign is affordable and within your reach.
Finally, the team will answer any of your remaining questions.
The process takes about 45 minutes from start to finish.
Treatment
From this point if you decide to go ahead, we will begin the treatment process.
Nothing begins until your suitability has been confirmed and you have chosen to continue.
Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of the case and the amount of tooth movement required.
Your cosmetic consultation is free and valued at $550.
Dr Kanika will assess your teeth, explain whether Invisalign may suit you and provide cost information before treatment begins.
The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the starting position of the teeth, the bite and the planned tooth movement.
You will receive a clearer estimate after your assessment and treatment plan.
Neither Invisalign nor braces is better for every patient.
Some cases may suit clear aligners, while others may be treated more predictably with fixed braces. The right option
depends on the teeth, bite, age, case complexity and ability to follow treatment instructions.
Invisalign aligners are removable and need to be worn as directed. Braces remain fixed to the teeth throughout treatment.
Visit the Braces page to learn how fixed braces work.
Invisalign may cause temporary pressure or tenderness, especially when changing to a new set of aligners.
Contact the clinic if pain is severe, continues or does not feel like normal treatment pressure.
Invisalign aligners need to be worn for most of the day for treatment to progress as planned.
They are usually removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing.
Not wearing the aligners as directed can delay treatment or affect the planned result.
Yes. Teenagers may be suitable for Invisalign after an assessment of their teeth, bite and dental development.
The treatment also requires the teenager to wear and care for the aligners as directed.
Invisalign aligners are clear and may be less noticeable than metal braces, but they are not invisible.
How visible they appear can depend on lighting, distance, speech and whether attachments are required on the teeth.
Mail-order aligners and dentist-supervised Invisalign treatment do not follow the same assessment and care process.
Invisalign treatment at a dental clinic includes an in-person examination, assessment of the teeth and gums, dental records such as scans and x-rays when required, and ongoing professional reviews.
These checks help identify oral health concerns and determine whether aligner treatment may be suitable before tooth movement begins.
Orthodontic cover, limits and waiting periods depend on your policy. Contact your health fund to confirm your available benefits.
