Clear Aligners
What are clear aligners?
If your teeth are crowded, uneven, or have gaps, clear aligners can bring them into a healthier, more harmonious position. Transparent and removable, they straighten your smile without metal brackets or wires.
How do clear aligners work?
You’ll wear a series of custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks before moving to the next one.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
It depends on your case, but most treatments take 6–18 months. You’ll start seeing results within a few months of consistent wear.
How long should I wear my aligners each day?
Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing.
Are clear aligners comfortable?
Yes. They’re smooth, lightweight, and custom-fitted to your teeth. You might feel slight pressure when switching to a new set, which means your teeth are moving.
What dental issues can aligners treat?
Clear aligners can help correct a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Overbites (upper teeth overlapping too much)
- Underbites (lower teeth sitting in front of upper teeth)
- Crossbites (some upper teeth sitting inside lower teeth)
- Open bites (when teeth don’t touch when you close your mouth)
- Mildly crooked or rotated teeth
For more complex or severe alignment cases, traditional braces may be more effective.
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable treatment after a comprehensive examination using advanced digital scans to assess your teeth.
Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?
Most teens and adults with healthy teeth and gums qualify. During your consultation, our dentist will take digital scans to check your suitability.
Do you use Invisalign or another brand?
Yes, we offer both Invisalign® and in-house 3D-printed clear aligners made in our dental lab. Both options are designed for precision and comfort.
Do you use Invisalign®?
Yes — we offer Invisalign®, a widely used clear aligner system with proven clinical support and SmartTrack® material for consistent tooth movement.
Do you offer 3D-printed clear aligners?
Yes — we also make custom 3D-printed aligners in our on-site lab, which lets us control design, speed up turnaround, and tailor treatment to your needs.
What is the clear aligner process like?
- Consultation & digital scan – We take 3D scans (no messy moulds).
- Smile simulation – You’ll preview your results before treatment.
- Aligner fabrication – Invisalign® or in-house aligners are made just for you.
- Fitting & instructions – We fit your first set and explain wear & care.
- Progress reviews – Regular check-ins ensure everything stays on track.
How soon can I start?
Your digital scan and smile design are done at your first visit. In most cases, aligners are ready within 1–2 weeks, but our on-site lab can sometimes produce them in a few days, depending on your case.
What’s daily life like with aligners?
You can eat and drink normally—just remove your aligners first. They’re easy to clean and nearly invisible, so most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse them under lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water as it can warp the material.
What happens after my aligner treatment?
You’ll wear a retainer to help keep your teeth in their new position. Our dentist will guide you on how long you’ll need to wear it.
How do I maintain my new smile after treatment?
Wearing your retainer and visiting us for routine check-ups will help keep your teeth perfectly aligned for years to come.
How much do clear aligners cost?
Clear Aligners (mild to moderate cases)
Consultation + diagnostics (including digital scans) — from $223
Full Treatment (per arch) — from $3,500
Includes aligners, treatment duration reviews, and complimentary whitening gel.
Your final cost depends on the complexity of your case and whether one or both arches require treatment. After your consultation and digital assessment, we’ll provide a clear, personalised quote outlining your full treatment plan.
Flexible payment options are available to help make treatment more manageable.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! You can start with a 50% deposit, then pay the balance over 3, 6, 9, or 12 months for treatments between $1,000–$10,000.
Can I claim this with my health fund?
Possibly. Some private health funds provide benefits for orthodontic treatment, depending on your level of cover (for example, Extras with orthodontic inclusion).
Rebates vary between policies and may be subject to lifetime orthodontic limits and waiting periods. We accept most major private health funds, and our friendly Patient Care Coordinator can help check your rebate and explain what your out-of-pocket cost may be before you begin treatment.
