Clear Aligners / Invisalign

Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment provide by our Dentist in Wheelers Hill that can help you straighten your teeth without metal braces. They are made of clear plastic trays that fit over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. Invisalign Clear aligners are removable, comfortable, and almost invisible when worn. They can correct various dental problems, such as crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.


The cost, duration, and effectiveness of clear aligners may vary depending on the type of treatment, the complexity of your case, and the provider you choose.


If you are interested in clear aligners, schedule a FREE Invisalign consultation with our dentist in Wheelers Hill who can assess your suitability and recommend the best option for you. We can also explain the benefits, risks, cost and expectations of clear aligner treatment. We make smiles with affordable Invisalign.

Clear Aligners Free Consultation all Questions Answered

Please contact us at 03 9561 5355 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Clear aligners have several advantages over traditional braces, such as:

  • They are more discreet and aesthetically pleasing, as they are almost invisible when worn.
  • They are more comfortable and gentle on your teeth and gums, as they do not have wires or brackets that can irritate or injure your mouth.
  • They are more convenient and flexible, as they are removable and allow you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. You can also take them off for special occasions or photos.
  • They are more hygienic and easier to clean, as they do not trap food or plaque between your teeth and braces. You can also rinse and brush them regularly to keep them fresh and clear.
  • They are more efficient and precise, as they are custom-made to fit your teeth and use advanced technology to plan and monitor your treatment progress.


The cost of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the type of treatment, the complexity of your case, and the provider you choose. In Australia, the average cost of clear aligner treatment in Melbourne is as follows:

  • In-chair clear aligner treatment at a dental clinic: This is the most effective and fastest way to straighten your teeth, but also the most expensive. It involves visiting a dentist or orthodontist who will apply a high-strength clear aligner to your teeth and use a light or laser to activate it. The estimated cost of this treatment can range from $5,000 to $9,000 per session.
  • Take-home clear aligner kits provided by dentists: This is a more affordable clear aligners and convenient way to straighten your teeth, but it may take longer to see the results. It involves getting custom-made clear aligners from our dentist in Wheelers Hill and wearing them at home for a certain amount of time each day, usually for a few months. The estimated cost of this treatment can range from $3,000 to $6,000.
  • Over-the-counter clear aligner products: These are the cheapest and easiest to use, but they may not be very effective or reliable, and they may have some risks or side effects. The estimated cost of these products can vary from $1,000 to $3,000.


Invisalign prices can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • The complexity of the issue being addressed
  • How many individual aligners you need
  • How many adjustments you need
  • Health care funding that covers Orthodontics


Other factors that can affect the cost of Invisalign braces might include the reputation and experience of a dental practice, and even the geographical location of your treatment.


Clear Aligners treatment can be a great solution for adult, teens and children looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. Clear Aligners innovations and technological advancements make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life. And, thanks to a discreet blue dot on the outside of teen aligners, parents can be sure their child is wearing their clear aligners enough. 

 


Atlas Smiles Dental offer differing payment plans that may not require the full amount to be paid up front. Others payment plan options such as afterpay and humm can make clear aligners more affordable. Please ask our Invisalign-trained dentists for his or her payment policy. You can find out more information about how much Invisalign treatment might cost you by schedule a Free Consultation with our Doctor now.

  


If your insurance policy has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign treatment could be covered to a similar extent as conventional braces. However, as medical benefits differ significantly from policy to policy, it’ll be safer to check with your health insurance provider. 

   


Costs vary may be dependent on the complexity of your case and your course of treatment. However, the cost of Invisalign treatment may be comparative to that of other alignment procedures. Please speak to our dentist in Wheelers Hill about the comparative cost of treatment. You may also want to consider other treatment-related factors like effectiveness, aesthetics during treatment, duration of treatment, comfort and convenience, to determine the most appropriate treatment for you. 


The duration of clear aligner treatment depends on the type of treatment, the severity of your case, and your compliance with the instructions. 


Generally, clear aligner treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months, with an average of 12 to 18 months. You will need to wear your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, and change them every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on your treatment plan. You will also need to visit Atlas Smiles Dental, our dentist in Wheelers Hill every 4 to 6 weeks for check-ups and adjustments.


Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with our Invisalign-trained doctor in Wheelers Hill. Our Invisalign Dentist will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customised digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. 


Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by our Invisalign Dentist. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, towards your beautiful new smile.  



During your consultation, our Invisalign Dentist in Wheelers Hill will discuss your teeth-straightening goals with you and examine your smile in order to determine your specific needs. Our Invisalign Dentist may also talk to you about how quickly you could reach your new smile, as well as your individual Invisalign treatment cost.


Our Invisalign Dentist will most likely recommend scheduling a dental check-up and cleaning before you begin Invisalign treatment, to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks. 


They may also take x-rays as part of your treatment planning.


Our Invisalign Dentist will tell you how often you should change to new Invisalign aligners (this can vary based on your individual treatment plan). Our Invisalign Dentist recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week. 

 


For the best results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out just for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. 

  


Our Invisalign Dentist will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks or as clinically required. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned. 

   


Your Invisalign treatment may require SmartForce attachments, small tooth-coloured shapes that are attached to your teeth. 


These shapes serve as handles, giving the aligners something to gently push on in order to move your teeth with the right amount of force, and are what make complex tooth movements possible without braces. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable. 


While not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments, if you need them, our Invisalign Dentist will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.    


You’ll be provided with enough aligners to last between visits to our dentist (usually 3-4 sets at a time). Our dentist will review your progress every 6-8 weeks or as clinically required and new aligners will be given to you at these appointments. It’s best to speak to our dentist about how many aligners you will be provided with between visits.

    


In most cases, one aligner case is included in your patient starter kit.


Patients who are being treated with mandibular advancement will receive two aligner cases as part of their patient starter kit.

     


You will usually change your aligners every 2 weeks. However, please follow our Invisalign-trained doctor’s specific instructions regarding when you need to change your aligners as this may vary between patients.


In short, yes. Retainers prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position after braces, Invisalign treatment or other clear aligner treatments. The right retainers and retainer maintenance can protect the investment you’ve made in your smile and save you money in the long run.

   


Cost for Vivera retainers can vary depending on our Vivera provider. Vivera retainers can either come as a single retainer pack or a three set retainer pack. If you do choose to purchase the three set pack, you may save on the cost of each set, and you'll always have a set handy when you need it. Ask our Vivera provider about pricing. 

    


Atlas Smiles Dental can help you make an appointment with our dentist in Wheelers Hill provider near you and answer any additional questions. Our doctors offer free initial consultations. For the best experience, take the time to talk to our dentist — someone who makes you feel comfortable and has the experience you’re looking for.

     


Talk to our Vivera provider about specific care instructions, but we typically recommend using a soft bristle toothbrush with water or a small amount of toothpaste. Rinse each retainer thoroughly with water after each cleaning.

      


We know you’ve been through a lot to get here, but because teeth continue to shift throughout life, experts are saying retention is for life. The right retainer and retainer routine will prevent your child’s teeth from shifting back over time and having to start over on braces or aligners. Vivera retainers will help you protect the investment you made in your child’s smile.

       


Ask our Vivera provider about your specific retainer protocol, but we get it – we’re striving for consistency over years, not perfection. No need to panic if you’ve missed a night, just do your best to stick with the plan our provider prescribed! In some cases, our provider might even recommend moving to a few nights per week for the long haul to keep your smile looking great.

        


You don’t need a referral to go to an orthodontist, but sometimes our dentist may give you one if they think you need specialist orthodontic treatment. Similarly, an orthodontist may refer you to our dentist if you need general dental work or a tooth extraction to complement the orthodontic work.

         


When a doctor decides to provide Invisalign treatment, they undergo Invisalign training. The Invisalign provider training course is offered to those who have their dental practitioner qualification certificate and want to provide Invisalign treatment. This training is not a certification or warranty of a practitioner’s dental license or an endorsement of a practitioner’s dental or orthodontic skills. Once a practitioner completes the Invisalign provider training course, they can provide Invisalign treatment. However, the practitioner remains fully in control of, and responsible for, their treatment decisions. This includes designing a suitable treatment plan (including the predicted tooth movements) and prescribing a series of customised Invisalign aligners specifically to match a particular patient’s treatment plan.

          


No, you can usually eat what you want while in treatment because the Invisalign aligners are removed when eating or drinking. Thus, there’s no need to refrain from your favourite foods and drinks unless instructed by our doctor. However, it’s recommended that you floss and brush your teeth after each meal and prior to re-inserting your aligners to maintain proper oral hygiene.

 


Except for cool water, we recommend that you don’t drink while wearing the aligners. This is to avoid cavities and stains forming on your teeth, or warping your aligners with hot beverages.

 


 

You should remove your aligners to consume anything except for water. Leaving aligners on while drinking may stain them and you may risk developing tooth decay while consuming fluids with sugar in them.

 


We don’t encourage smoking while wearing aligners because it’s possible for them to become discoloured.

  


You should not chew gum while wearing your aligners as the gum may stick to the aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including chewing gum.

   


It’s very unlikely that your aligners will ever fall out, no matter what you’re doing at the time (whether it’s sleeping, talking or laughing). Invisalign aligners are designed to fit firmly on the teeth so this should not be a cause for concern.

    


Similar to other orthodontic treatments, the Invisalign aligners may temporarily affect the speech of some people for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any misarticulation or minor speech impediment caused by the aligners should disappear. Please speak to our doctor about ways to help you get used to your aligners more quickly.

     


It’s important that you follow the treatment plan developed by our doctor to ensure the best outcome. Our doctor will determine the recommended treatment duration for you depending on several considerations, including the spacing between your teeth and the need for retention.

      


Invisalign treatment is available in more than 100 countries worldwide, and you can transfer your Invisalign treatment to another Invisalign-trained doctor to continue your treatment. Please speak to our Invisalign-trained doctor about the process.

       


The aligners are made of non-toxic, medical-grade plastic and can be worn during pregnancy. If you’re concerned, please consult your healthcare professional.

        


While Invisalign treatment may move your teeth without the pain and anxiety of other straightening methods, some people might experience temporary, minor discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It's a sign that the Invisalign aligners are sequentially moving your teeth to their final positions. This discomfort usually goes away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series.

         


Invisalign treatment is contraindicated in patients with active periodontal disease. If you have periodontal (gum) disease, you should consult our doctor before undergoing Invisalign treatment.

Warnings with Invisalign treatment include:

In rare instances, some patients may be allergic to the aligner material. If this occurs, discontinue use and speak to a healthcare professional immediately.

In rare instances, patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a genetic disorder, may experience rapid local swelling of tissues including the larynx. This may be triggered by mild stimuli including dental procedures. If this occurs, discontinue use and speak to a healthcare professional immediately.

Orthodontic appliances, or parts thereof, may be accidentally swallowed or inhaled.          


All Invisalign aligner and retainer materials are made of medical-grade, high molecular weight, thermoplastic polymers. These materials were selected for use in aligners and retainers based on their properties and safety classification, and have a long history of FDA approvals for long term use inside the human body. Tests conducted to determine the biocompatibility of these materials show they are biocompatible and pass all applicable regulatory requirements and thresholds for human wear in the mouth.

Based on our current knowledge and testing of the raw materials and processes used in the manufacture of aligners and retainers, we are not aware of any latex, parabens, phthalates, glutaraldehyde, epoxy or Bisphenol A (BPA) present in our aligners or retainers. Of course, as with any medical device, you should consult with your health professional about your aligner or retainer treatment and any applicable risks of use.        


Depending on your specific treatment, some of the movements may require either “attachments” or “ridges” to help the aligner grip the teeth. These bumps or wells are where the aligner grips the attachment the doctor places on your teeth. The attachments are actually small pieces of composite the doctor affixes to your teeth that are then gripped by bumps on your aligners. The ridges are slim indentations in your aligners. Our Invisalign-trained doctor will use one or both of these features to achieved the desired movement.        


Aligners are virtually invisible and discreet, so most people will not even notice that you’re wearing them.        


All aligners and retainers are considered a prescription item and must be ordered by our Invisalign Provider. Please contact us directly if you need to order a replacement.  


Invisalign has numerous advantages that can make it a suitable straightening treatment for children, teenagers, and adults. If you are considering taking advantage of the many benefits of Invisalign, feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation and an appointment with us at Atlas Smiles Dental Wheelers Hill, Melbourne.


Appearance

Some patients might feel bothered wearing traditional metal braces since they are quite painful especially if you are an adult seeking orthodontic treatment. Therefore, if you are seeking a more discreet treatment, Invisalign is the best option.


Enhanced Confidence

Most patients feel more confident wearing Invisalign than metal braces. It eliminates the obvious moment of “yes I am straightening my teeth” when socializing. You can smile and interact with confidence knowing that you are not drawing attention to yourself. Not only that, but once your treatment is done, you can finally enjoy your beautiful, straight and healthy smile.


Comfort

Metal braces are more uncomfortable than the Invisalign treatment. In most cases, the rough edges of metal braces tend to dig and slash into your lips and cheeks. However, removable aligners such as Invisalign are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. They have smooth edges manufactured from high-quality resin.


Eat whatever you want

Traditional metal braces limit the types of foods and drink you can consume. On the other hand, Invisalign allows you to eat whatever you want. You only need to remove them while eating. Once you are done, clean your teeth or rinse your mouth before putting back your aligners.


Speaking Is Easier

Metal braces take up a lot of space in your mouth making talking difficult. Luckily, Invisalign braces are thin therefore your lips and tongue can adjust quickly.


Easier to Clean your Teeth

Since your clear aligners are removable, you do not have to invest in any special tools to clean your teeth.


Beautiful Results

Invisalign can address most mild to moderate cases of misalignment or bite problems. It is only when there are severe cases that would someone not be a good candidate for Invisalign.


Speedy Recovery

Invisalign tends to work a little bit faster than traditional metal braces. This is because Invisalign moves the teeth in smaller increments whereby you switch the fitting of your aligners every two weeks.


Versatility

Invisalign treatment can fix various orthodontic problems such as crowded teeth, crooked teeth, and gapped and protruding teeth.
