Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a well-known brand of clear orthodontic aligners. This modern
method for straightening teeth eliminates the brackets and wires in conventional braces, using instead a series of clear plastic trays designed to gently and progressively move your teeth.
People in Harris Park NSW who need orthodontic care choose clear aligners for numerous reasons, including:
- Removability
- Low visibility
Invisalign Treatment Time Depends on Your Unique Case
On average, clear aligners realign teeth at a comparable pace to conventional braces, but your particular tooth alignment issues and their severity will impact your treatment time. However, because clear aligners like Invisalign take advantage of digital planning, no matter how long your treatment will take, you will know it in advance and be able to plan accordingly.
If timeframes are among your primary concerns, we also offer Invisalign Express if your tooth misalignment is milder and more straightforward. Invisalign Express works with fewer aligner trays with an average treatment time of about six months, more or less depending also on your consistency when wearing your aligners.

Invisalign® is a popular option that many Parramatta patients use to correct crooked and
misaligned teeth.
Invisalign® is Discreet
Invisalign's popularity stems from the fact that they are virtually invisible on patients’ teeth. They are constructed out of a transparent plastic material, offering a discreet orthodontic solution.
Convenience
A major advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners can be removed. You can take them out when you eat or brush your teeth. This is because the requirement is that the aligners are worn for 22 hours of the day to be effective.
Comfort
Invisalign are made of flexible, smooth plastic that are designed to fit your teeth closely.
Invisalign® Treatment in Parramatta is Fast
The average treatment time for Invisalign is 12 to 18 months. Of course, Invisalign may not be able to be used in all cases, so ask your Parramatta dentist whether the treatment is suitable for you. Arrange an appointment today.
Using Invisalign® can help you achieve a straighter smile, especially if you follow these tips:
- Brush and Floss Regularly—Brush your teeth after every meal to prevent food particles from getting trapped between your teeth and the aligners. Floss daily to remove debris that brushing might miss, minimising the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Clean the Aligners Daily — Clean your aligners every time you remove them to wash away saliva and plaque. We recommend using a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented liquid soap to gently clean them. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be too abrasive and scratch the plastic aligners.
- Soak Aligners Daily — Soak your aligners daily in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner to keep them clear and free from bacteria buildup.
- Avoid Eating and Drinking with Aligners — Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. Brush your teeth before reinserting them to keep them clean and odour-free.
- Store Aligners Properly — Always store your aligners in their case when you’re not wearing them to protect them from damage and bacteria buildup.
