Benefits & Advantages

Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. The Invisalign system advantages are:

  • Aesthetics: The clear aligners are made from transparent plastic, making them discreet and far less noticeable than traditional braces. Most people don’t notice you are having treatment, and the aligners can be removed for important social functions.
  • Hygiene: aligners are removed to allow normal tooth brushing and flossing, allowing you to clean your teeth as thoroughly as you normally would. By maintaining consistent oral care habits, you can minimise the risk of dental problems.
  • Comfort: there are no wires and brackets to irritate your mouth, and the aligners are removed for eating and drinking.Since the aligners are removable, you can indulge in your favourite foods without worrying about  damaging wires or brackets. Whether enjoying a crunchy apple or savouring a sticky caramel treat, Invisalign empowers you to savour every bite with freedom.
  • Efficient Treatment Process: Invisalign treatment is known for its efficiency. The aligners are typically changed every one to two weeks, with each new set bringing your teeth closer to their ideal positions.

The Technology Behind Invisalign

Invisalign Orthodontics utilises a series of custom-made, clear aligners to fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners are made from a smooth and transparent plastic material, making them virtually invisible when worn.

Each aligner in the series is designed to make gradual adjustments to the position of your teeth, ultimately guiding them into the desired alignment.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

At Orthoworx, we use the following process to assess, suggest and treat every dental concern: 

1. Initial Consultation:

During your first Invisalign consultation, Dr Chan will evaluate and examine your teeth, bite, and discuss your treatment goals. He will assess if you are suited for Invisalign treatment.

2. Digital Impressions and Custom Aligners:

Once you proceed with Invisalign, your orthodontist will take precise digital impressions of your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology.  

Invisalign uses advanced technology to create a 3-dimensional computer model of your teeth and predict the movements needed for optimal alignment. Known as a ‘Clincheck’, this tool allows us to visualise your treatment goals and helps us estimate the duration of your treatment more accurately.

3. Wearing the Aligners:

Patients will be instructed on how to wear their aligners; each set of aligners is to be worn at least 20 hours per day for a two-week period – removing them only when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing-. 

Patients are usually issued 3 or 4 sets per appointment, allowing your malaligned teeth to evolve into the smile you’ve always wanted gradually.

4. Check-ups: 

Patients will have check-up appointments throughout the treatment. These appointments allow Dr Chan and the Invisalign technicians to monitor your progress, ensure the aligners fit correctly, and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

5. Completing the Treatment: 

As you progress through the series of aligners, you will notice visible improvements in the alignment of your teeth. The treatment duration varies depending on your case’s complexity, but the average treatment time is approximately 12 to 18 months. 

Once you have completed the treatment, you can enjoy a beautifully aligned smile.

FAQ

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners, and an effective, less invasive orthodontic solution to correct your teeth’ alignment. These aligners are sometimes known as invisible braces due to their transparent colour and their custom-fit to snugly fit your teeth dimensions.

Invisalign costs in Sydney vary from orthodontist to orthodontist and depend on the complexity of your teeth alignment and proposed treatment plan. You will also need to consider the initial consultation fees. Speak to one of our trained Invisalign specialists to get a more accurate estimation of your overall treatment costs and determine if Invisalign is the most appropriate treatment for you.

The Invisalign treatment involves a series of numbered trays developed from an accurate mould of your top and bottom jaw. Over a set period of weeks, each tray of your Invisalign treatment will adjust the teeth position progressively. This adjustment process is mapped out by your orthodontist during the initial consultation stage before treatment and is specific to your teeth alignment requirements. Each tray is fit snugly on the teeth, causing them to gradually shift from their current position and straightening them over time. Each tray is worn approximately two weeks before using the next set of trays prescribed by your orthodontist.

Treatment plans offered by Orthoworx orthodontists will vary depending on the complexity of your teeth alignment requirements. On average, treatment lasts between 12 – 18 months although you can start to see results in a matter of weeks.

For the majority, mild discomfort will be experienced when the first Invisalign trays are fitted and when you change the aligner trays every two weeks. Teeth discomfort is minor as the trays use gentle force to move your teeth in the correct position. Pain often subsides within a few days.

There are different methods to clean and maintain your clear aligners. The most effective way is to brush them out carefully as you would your own teeth, using a soft bristle brush. We suggest cleaning your Invisalign aligners twice before insertion in the morning and each night before going to bed. Use a small amount of toothpaste. Do not soak your Invisalign in mouthwash as this can damage the surface of your aligner.
