The key features of Invisalign®
Patients choose Invisalign® clear aligners for multiple reasons, but the key features are their comfort, the convenience of being removable, and their nearly invisible appearance.
Comfortable
These aligners are custom-made from detailed moulds of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit. Crafted from smooth material, they avoid the irritation often caused by the metal components of traditional braces.
Discreet
Since the aligners are crafted from clear plastic, they are discreet to wear, allowing you to continue your daily activities without worrying about the look of your teeth.
Removable
By not being bound to your teeth, the aligners are designed to be removable, unlike traditional braces. This allows for easy cleaning and better hygiene, as you can take them out to brush and floss your teeth. You can also take them out for special occasions if you prefer, but remember to put them back in promptly afterwards to ensure the treatment stays on track.
How Invisalign® works
To achieve the best results, patients are recommended to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from six months to two years.
The treatment can address mild to moderate dental misalignments, such as crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and cross-bites.
Each patient’s aligners are custom-made to fit their teeth and slowly move them into their targeted positions. During a consultation, every patient receives a thorough assessment and a personalised treatment plan.
Suitable candidates for Invisalign®
Invisalign® is suitable for many people, but it depends on individual dental needs. After a thorough assessment, our Brisbane dentist can determine if it is the right treatment for you.
Suitable candidates should have good overall dental health, including healthy gums and teeth. Addressing any existing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, before starting an Invisalign® treatment is essential. If you need to treat a specific condition before undergoing your treatment, your dentist can explain what will be required and what you can expect for your treatment process.
As with any dental treatment, it’s essential that candidates maintain realistic expectations for an aligner treatment. While it can achieve significant improvements in dental alignment, individual results may vary, and results will take some time to show.
Candidates should be comfortable with the treatment process, such as the removable nature of the aligners (which allows for easier brushing, flossing, and eating compared to traditional braces).
Ultimately, the decision on whether or not the treatment is the right option for a candidate should be made after a comprehensive assessment by one of our experienced dentists. Our team will evaluate every candidate’s dental condition, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalised treatment plan aligned with your needs and expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move teeth, treating misalignment.
Is the Invisalign® treatment painful?
An Invisalign® treatment is generally not considered painful, but some people may experience temporary discomfort, especially during the initial days of wearing a new set of aligners. This discomfort is typically mild and is often described as pressure, or a feeling of tightness, as the aligners gradually shift the teeth into their new positions. The discomfort usually subsides within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the new aligners.
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate any pain during the adjustment period, but if the pain seems to get worse, patients should contact our clinic for advice.
Are the aligners more comfortable than traditional braces?
Yes, the aligners are designed to generally be more comfortable to wear than metal braces. They are made from smooth, clear plastic that is custom-fitted to your teeth, minimising any discomfort typically associated with traditional braces. Traditional braces can sometimes cause discomfort and irritation to the cheeks and gums, while the smooth Invisalign® aligners prevent this.
Will the aligners be noticeable when I wear them?
Since the aligners are made with high-quality, clear material, they aren’t particularly noticeable when worn. This is one of the treatment’s perks, particularly compared to the more noticeable traditional metal wire braces.
How long do I need to wear my aligners each day?
It is recommended that you wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. The key is to allow enough time for the aligners to exert gentle pressure and effectively move your teeth. Every patient will receive a personalised treatment plan; however, that will specify the amount of time that you will need to wear your aligners.
Can I eat and drink while wearing the aligners?
You should always remove your Invisalign® aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, to help prevent damage to the aligners and keep them clean. It will also be more comfortable for you!
How often do I need to change my aligners?
You will typically change to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, as directed by your dentist. Each new set of aligners is designed to gradually continue the progression of teeth movement, so you’ll need to follow your plan closely to get the most out of your treatment and achieve the right alignment.
Will there be any restrictions on physical activities while I am following the treatment plan?
Invisalign® aligners are designed to be removable, so you can continue participating in sports and other activities without any major restrictions. However, if you do have to be a little more careful, your dentist will clearly outline the instructions you need to follow.
How many aligners will I have to wear throughout my treatment plan?
The number of aligners you wear throughout your treatment plan will depend on your specific dental needs. The exact number of aligners can range from as few as 10 to more than 30 sets, depending on various factors, such as the extent of teeth movement required.
Overall, how long does an Invisalign® treatment process take?
The total duration of your treatment will depend on the complexity of your treatment, and the specific alignment goals. It typically ranges from about six months to two years, but since this is quite a broad timeline, we will need to discuss what you can expect during your consultation. Ultimately, for more accurate and personalised information when it comes to timelines and what you can expect in further detail, you’ll need a consultation so that one of our dentists can assess your personal case.
