Many people have crooked or overcrowded teeth but are hesitant to wear noticeable and unsightly metal braces.
Metal braces carry an adolescent stigma that can discourage professional adults from straightening their smiles. However, we have an easy solution for straighter teeth that is nearly invisible and far more comfortable than traditional methods.
Invisalign is one of the most well established invisible braces systems for straightening teeth discretely.
A more recent system of clear aligners is the UK-based company Clear Step, which essentially works similarly. They are referred to as 'invisible braces' since instead of traditional wire braces, a series of see-through clear aligners are worn to gently position your teeth to the position you want.
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:
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.
For our Parramatta friends and neighbours who’d enjoy a straighter smile, we are here to help. Don’t hesitate to call our dental clinic with your Invisalign questions and schedule a consultation.
Invisalign® is a popular option that many Parramatta patients use to correct crooked and
misaligned teeth.
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.
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.
Invisalign are made of flexible, smooth plastic that are designed to fit your teeth closely.
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:

Overly crowded teeth
Teeth are too close together can mean there is not enough room for them to sit in a straight line. Invisalign can open up the space between your teeth so that they can sit next to each other.
Widely spaced teeth
Space between your teeth may mean unwanted gaps between your teeth. Although this can quickly be resolved with veneers, Invisalign braces can gradually push your teeth together, eliminating the gaps.
Overbites
Upper teeth may stick out further than your lower teeth so that they do not meet in the middle when you bite.
Underbites
Lower teeth that stick out further than your upper teeth can use clear aligners to move your lower teeth back or your upper teeth forward.
Crossbites
Aligners can straighten a bite that looks twisted.

Invisalign uses advanced stereolithography (SLA) technology to build precise moulds of your teeth during treatment. Clear aligners are fabricated and couriered to your dentist. During your next visit, you will receive your new aligners, switching to new aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gradually move. It is very important to wear aligners for at least 20 hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Regular visits to us allow us to check your progress.
