If you’d love straighter teeth but the thought of metal braces puts you off, clear aligners like Invisalign could be the answer. They’re discreet, removable, and increasingly popular with Surry Hills adults and teens alike. Here’s what you need to know.
How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that gently move your teeth into position over time. You wear each set for a week or two before swapping to the next, and every few weeks your smile gets a little straighter.
Why patients love it
- Nearly invisible: most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
- Removable: take them out to eat, brush, and floss as normal.
- Comfortable: smooth plastic with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.
- Predictable: we can often show you a preview of your final smile before you start.
Is it right for me?
Invisalign works well for crowding, gaps, and many bite issues. More complex cases may still be better suited to braces — during your consultation we’ll assess your teeth and give you honest advice on the best option.
What to expect
After a consultation and digital scan, your custom aligners are made and you’ll pop in for occasional check-ins to keep things on track. Most treatments take several months to around 18 months, depending on the amount of movement needed.
Keeping results for life
Once your teeth are where you want them, a retainer keeps them there. Wear it as directed and your new smile can last for years.
