What Is The Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign is a modern, discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. This treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is worn for around two weeks before being replaced with the next in the series, following a personalised plan created by your dentist.

Before beginning your treatment, we’ll take a digital 3D scan of your teeth to map out the entire process and show you a preview of your expected results—so you know exactly what to look forward to.

You’ll typically visit us every 4 to 8 weeks to check your progress and collect your next set of aligners. While treatment time varies from person to person, most Invisalign plans are completed in roughly 12 months.

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its flexibility—since the aligners are removable, you can enjoy all your favourite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine with ease.

If you’re considering Invisalign or fixed braces and want to know which option is right for you, contact Smile Spot Mawson Lakes on (08) 8359 4999 to book your consultation. We’re here to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile with confidence.

Got more questions about Invisalign?

Invisalign consists of a series of thin, clear plastic aligners. These aligners are manufactured for the individual patient and are based on a scan taken at the beginning of treatment, which allows the orthodontist to map out the specific treatment plan.

The patient changes the aligners to the next set in the series every 2 weeks and this is what creates the movement. The teeth gently move into their desired place at each stage of the treatment.

Unlike traditional braces that apply force to the teeth using metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made of a thin, clear plastic, creating four main benefits:

  • Invisalign aligners are cosmetically pleasing.
  • Invisalign aligners are more hygienic than traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, brushing and flossing so they make it much easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
  • Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Invisalign is made of clear, thin plastic, rather than metal and wires, this means that it’s not as likely for your gums and mouth to suffer ulcers or abrasions from rubbing against the appliance.
  • Invisalign treatment equals less orthodontic appointments. Invisalign doesn’t require adjustments like traditional metal braces do, so therefore you are required to visit our surgery less frequently.
  • Aligners must be worn 22 out of the 24 hours a day. You may remove only for eating, brushing and flossing.
  • Cleaning of the Aligners involves brushing with your toothbrush and the occasional soak in a cleaning solution such as Sterident.
  • The removable Aligners can be easily lost, so if you are not wearing them, be sure to keep them safe in the container provided.
  • If you lose or break your Aligner, please contact us immediately so that arrangements can be made for a replacement.
  • There can be a natural tendency for teeth for move so on completion of treatment the final retainers need to be worn nightly on an ongoing basis.
