Invisalign in Toorak: how it works

If suitable, your custom aligners are typically worn for a period of 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Throughout this time, you change your aligners every two weeks or as directed by your dentist. Each aligner is designed to gradually reposition your teeth, and your dentist will review your progress along the way.

You can remove the aligners when you eat, floss or clean your teeth, however they must be worn as directed. They are designed to be discreet and may be more comfortable than traditional styles of orthodontic treatment. Results and suitability vary from person to person.

The benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is designed to fit around your lifestyle. You can remove your aligners before you eat, or when you have a special event to attend, and carry on with your day-to-day routine while Invisalign® works to gradually move your teeth.

Invisalign can be used to treat a range of orthodontic concerns, and may be suitable for many age groups. Whether you’re looking to straighten crooked teeth, or have an underbite that your dentist feels should be addressed, a consultation will help you understand your options.

Invisalign has been used by millions of people around the world. Your dentist will discuss whether it is suitable for you, along with the risks, benefits and alternatives.

Is Invisalign in Toorak right for you?

Invisalign in Toorak is not suitable for everyone, and the right option depends on your teeth, gums and bite. We start with a check-up and clean to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy, then talk through whether Invisalign in Toorak or another option suits you. Results and treatment time vary between patients. You can also read general information from the Australian Dental Association, or book an Invisalign consultation online.

Calculated Treatment

From your first aligner to your new smile, your treatment is carefully planned. An advanced Trios Digital Impression System models your teeth in a 3-D environment, showing what your teeth look like.

Using this model, software called ClinCheck® is used to plan the series of movements required to gradually move your teeth. Invisalign technicians then create a series of custom aligners designed to move your teeth over a given time-frame, although individual results may vary.
