How It Works

Invisalign is proactive.

Invisalign clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teen's teeth. Unlike metal braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are customised for each individual. Your teen can simply wear the aligners over their teeth, changing into a new set approximately every 1-2 weeks. Little by little, your teen's teeth gradually shift into that confident smile, with minimal changes to their routine.

Powered by the data of 9 million smiles worldwide, Invisalign provides predictable results based on years of research. From simple to complex, customised treatment plans are created for each individual smile, including growing smiles. Mandibular advancement feature allows for the correction of an overbite in tweens and teens. Precision wings are made to gradually move the lower jaw whilst straightening teeth.

Invisalign for Teens

In it together.

Invisalign is a discreet and convenient way to realign your teen's smile. The aligners are easy and quick to remove for eating, drinking, and sports. Removable aligners also make it easier to maintain oral hygiene with easy removal for flossing and brushing. Invisalign is designed so it doesn’t interrupt your teen's daily life - or their social life.

From start to finish, keep track of progress together on the My Invisalign app. A custom tracker with reminder notifications can help your teen stay compliant with the recommended wear time. The Smile Gallery can also motivate them to stay on track as they see real-life progress in their smile.

Unlike metal braces, which comes with a long list of forbidden foods like popcorn and whole apples, Invisalign is without dietary restrictions. As long as they first remove the aligners, teens will be able to eat and drink whatever they like.

No worries - this happens even to the best of us. The first step is always to contact us as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, we either order a replacement or we can move on to the next set if progress allows.

It is recommended that teens wear their aligners for at least 22 hours each day. This is to ensure that the treatment is effective and progress as predicted. The more they wear the aligners, the faster treatment will be overall.

Safety

Peace of mind

Straightening teeth will always be a medical procedure. We would never recommend treatment unless we are confident in achieving a safe and effective result. Every Invisalign journey begins with a consultation appointment including an examination to determine suitability. Each Invisalign patient is selected carefully with the highest commitment to safety.

Growing smiles deserve the utmost care and attention. Just like with traditional braces, we believe that face-to-face management is necessary to provide a sufficient level of oversight. This includes regular check-in's to track teeth movement as treatment the progresses. At each review appointment, we will do an extensive examination to ensure the health of your teens teeth and gums. This also gives us valuable time to talk to your teen, listen to their experience, and provide answers to any concerns that they may have.

Will my health fund cover Invisalign?

Ask your health fund.

We accept all private health funds. While Invisalign treatment is usually covered, it may be considered as "major dental." We highly recommend that you ask your fund directly.

We have compiled a list of some of the possible item numbers you may be eligible to claim with your health insurance.  Please note that these item numbers are a guide only. For your specific application, we will need to make a proper assessment to tailor a treatment plan suited to you individually. 

Health Fund Item Numbers

The length of Invisalign treatment is dependent on the severity of each individual patient’s orthodontic issues. Treatment may vary from anywhere between six months to two years with an average treatment taking around 12 to 14 months.

Aligners should be worn all day except when eating, brushing and flossing. We recommend for your aligners to be worn at least 22 hours a day. The more you wear it, the better your results.

You can eat and drink whatever you desire - just remember to remove your aligners first. The only beverage you can drink with aligners on is water. And it is important that you brush your teeth after each meal and prior to reinserting your aligners to maintain proper hygiene.

We will schedule regular appointments — usually about once every six to eight weeks. This is the only way we can determine that your treatment is progressing predictably as planned.

Most patients are suitable for Invisalign. Cases that are difficult or unsuitable for Invisalign may include:

  • Up-righting severely tipped teeth

  • Not all the permanent teeth have erupted - you're still growing!

  • Multiple missing teeth

  • Unsuitable periodontal (gum) condition

  • Patients wanting to change their facial profile

Invisalign has proven to be as effective at straightening teeth as traditional braces. The level of Invisalign experience will determine how an orthodontist or dentist decides how to treat a patient. Patients with severe crowding or bite problems may require interdisciplinary treatments in which Invisalign is used in combination with other teeth straightening techniques.

Like brackets and arch wires, the Invisalign aligner moves teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Invisalign not only controls forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. With each aligner, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular aligner. This results in an efficient force delivery system.

There are four primary benefits of Invisalign:

  1. Invisalign is nearly invisible — you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

  2. Invisalign is removable – you can eat and drink what you want during treatment; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.

  3. Invisalign is comfortable — there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.

  4. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start — so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Aligners are made of clear, strong, and comfortable medical grade non-toxic plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. Invisalign aligners are also BPA-free, phthalate-free, and biocompatible.

After or during the initial consultation, your treating orthodontist or dentist will need to take x-rays, photos and moulds of your teeth. These records will be sent to the USA to be used to manufacture your custom made aligners. This process will take approximately 6 weeks (from the time the records are sent to the USA to the time treatment can begin).

Invisalign alone can cost between $3000 to $8400. As with other medical treatments only your orthodontist or dentist can determine cost based on your specific needs. Factors may include your treatment goals, the difficulty of your case, how long you are in treatment, and your healthcover or payment method.

While Invisalign treatment is usually covered, it may be considered as "major dental." We highly recommend that you ask your fund directly. Invisalign treatment is claimed under number 881 - orthodontic treatment. This is for the entire treatment course.

Yes, as long as you remove your aligners first, and rinse properly before putting them back on.

No. We discourage smoking due to discoloration, and recommend that you remove your aligners before all meals and snacks.

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water. We also offer aligner cleaning crystals for purchase.
