Invisalign may be the most popular clear orthodontic system available today. And it is the name patients use when seeking discreet treatment for misaligned teeth.

Your dentist in Southern Sydney, NSW, is happy to offer this system and can let you know whether it will correct your orthodontic issues.

Let’s explore what you should know about Invisalign.

All about Invisalign in Oatley, NSW

Orthodontics, including Invisalign, starts with a thorough consultation in our dental clinic. This visit means an exam and conversation about what you hope to achieve through orthodontics. We also talk to you about how long you’ll need to wear clear aligners—typically six to 24 months, depending on your specific needs. Then, if your dentist determines that Invisalign is suitable, we move forward with treatment.

Treatment starts with impressions of your teeth. The results are sent to the Invisalign lab, where they create your clear aligners. You come into our clinic to pick them up and wear the first one for approximately two weeks before moving to the next. You continue this way until you’ve finished your supply, which marks the end of your orthodontics.

You visit us throughout treatment so the dentist can ensure everything is lined up on schedule.

After orthodontics, we provide a clear retainer so you can maintain your results long-term.

Advantages of Invisalign

Unlike bracket and wire braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss. They are also made of soft plastic for a more comfortable and lighter fit. Additionally, they can correct many issues, including:

  • Crooked, twisted and overlapping teeth
  • Alignment issues, including overbite
  • Protruding or bucked teeth
  • Gaps or unusual spacing
