Invisalign Darwin
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into new positions. Each aligner is custom-made and fits over the teeth, applying gentle pressure.
The aligners are typically worn for most of the day and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. They are usually changed every one to two weeks, depending on the treatment plan. The total length of treatment varies for each individual.
Who Might Consider Invisalign?
Invisalign may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns who prefer a clear alternative to traditional braces. It may not be the best option for complex bite issues, in which case other orthodontic treatments could be recommended. A dentist can determine suitability following an examination, which may include x-rays and photographs.
How the Process Works
If Invisalign is considered appropriate, digital scans or impressions are taken to design the aligners. A computerised treatment plan is then created, which maps out the proposed sequence of tooth movements. Patients receive sets of aligners to change according to the prescribed schedule, with regular monitoring appointments to review progress.
Things to Know About Invisalign
Aligners are removable, which may make eating and cleaning easier compared with fixed braces.
Wearing the aligners as instructed is important for the treatment to be effective.
The length and outcome of treatment vary between patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Living with misaligned teeth may cause embarrassment and it can take a toll on confidence and self-esteem. Many patients do not like the idea of wearing traditional braces, and thus avoid having their teeth straightened. Invisalign treatment is a great solution for patients interested in aligning their teeth discreetly.
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. The aligners are custom-fitted and virtually invisible, so no one can tell when patients are straightening their teeth. While they need to be worn at least 22 hours per day, the aligners are removed for eating, brushing and flossing.
How Do We Know If It's a Good Fit?
Invisalign works well for most patients; our dentists can determine whether it is an appropriate treatment on an individual basis after an exam and x-rays. Aligning teeth is about more than just improving the way a smile looks; it also benefits oral health, as teeth will be easier to brush and floss. With 3-D technology, we will even be able to show patients of our Darwin dental clinic what their newly aligned smiles will look like before starting treatment.

Invisalign
Many patients enjoy the discretion Invisalign treatment provides. Teen and adult patients often find the nearly invisible aligners particularly attractive. Additionally, Invisalign treatment provides patients with the convenience of removability. Aligners can be easily removed for your oral hygiene routine and when you eat and drink. This means you don’t need to change your diet while you’re straightening your teeth.
Traditional Braces
Though Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments have experienced a boom in popularity in recent years, traditional braces still offer the best orthodontic treatment to many of our patients. For patients with severely misaligned bites, traditional braces often provide better results to patients in the long run.
