Invisalign treatment in Casuarina, NT, offers patients an excellent option for straightening their teeth without anyone ever noticing! 

While braces are a tried and true method for aligning crooked teeth, many adults feel self-conscious about wearing them. Clear aligners with Invisalign offer discretion while you straighten your teeth and several other advantages our patients appreciate. Here's what you should know. 

Invisalign 101

Instead of traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to move teeth into alignment. The aligners are created using your dentist's treatment plan for your smile. You'll wear each set of aligners for one to three weeks according to your treatment plan and for at least 22 hours per day. Compliance in wearing your aligners consistently is the key to successful treatment with Invisalign. 

Each patient's needs are unique; however, most people achieve a straighter smile in 10 to 18 months. 

The Advantages of Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign provides several advantages over traditional braces that our patients appreciate:

  • Freedom—You can enjoy all the foods you love during treatment with Invisalign because you can remove your aligners for meals.
  • Discretion—Because aligners are clear, they're essentially invisible and unnoticeable to other people. 
  • Ease—Brushing and flossing are simple when you don't have to navigate around brackets and wires. 
  • Comfort—Clear aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, unlike metal brackets that poke and irritate soft gum tissues. 

Invisalign makes orthodontic treatment for adults and teens smooth, efficient, and comfortable! 

How Can I Get Started with Invisalign?

Booking an evaluation with one of our dentists is the first step in determining if Invisalign is the right treatment for your needs. After taking x-rays, conducting a thorough exam, and taking photos of your teeth, our dentists can create a treatment plan that will help you reach your smile goals. 

Whether the suitable treatment for your smile is Invisalign, fillings, bonding, or veneers, our team has you covered!
