Clear aligners explained
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clinically proven orthodontic system that straightens teeth using a sequence of clear, custom plastic aligners. It works without metal brackets, visible wires or fixed hardware on your teeth.
Each set is precision-shaped from a 3D digital scan of your teeth. You change to a new set every one to two weeks, with each step guiding your smile closer to the result planned at your initial consultation.
Because the aligners are removable and virtually invisible, treatment fits comfortably around your work, social life and daily routine. There is no need to adjust how you eat, exercise or present in meetings.
Suitability
Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign treats a broad range of orthodontic concerns, from mild misalignment through to more complex bite issues. The six conditions below are commonly corrected with clear aligners.
Overbite
Upper teeth extend too far over the lower
Underbite
Lower teeth project past the upper
Crossbite
Some upper teeth close inside the lower
Crowding
Teeth overlap due to limited space
Gaps
Visible spaces between adjacent teeth
Open bite
Front teeth do not meet on closing Why patients choose it
Benefits of Invisalign
Straighter teeth without the visibility of conventional braces. Invisalign offers practical advantages that suit adult and teen patients across Canberra.
Practically invisible
Smooth, clear aligners shaped to fit closely to your teeth. Most people will not notice you are wearing them.
Eat what you love
Take your aligners out for meals and drinks. No food restrictions and no compromise on social occasions.
Brush and floss normally
Remove your aligners to brush and floss as usual. This supports better gum and tooth health throughout treatment.
No wires, no scrapes
Smooth aligner edges mean no brackets cutting into the cheeks. Adjustment appointments are also less frequent.
