Clear Aligners · Specialist-Fitted
Clear aligners are a series of custom trays, replaced every 1–2 weeks, that gradually move teeth into the planned position. We fit established clear-aligner systems (eg. Invisalign, Angel), with the plan designed and supervised by a specialist orthodontist from start to finish.
Each aligner moves your teeth a fraction of a millimetre. Worn 22+ hours a day, swapped every 1–2 weeks, the whole series gradually shifts teeth into the planned final position. They're removable for eating and cleaning, almost invisible at conversational distance, and can address everything from minor crowding through to comprehensive bite correction.
Anyone with a dental degree can prescribe aligners. A specialist orthodontist has three additional years of training in tooth movement biology. We'll tell you honestly if aligners can give you the result you want — or if a different option will get you there better, faster, or cheaper. Come in for a consult and we'll show you the digital plan before you commit.
Most courses run 12 to 18 months. You wear each aligner for 22+ hours a day, switching every 7 to 14 days. We see you every 8 to 10 weeks to track progress. Treatment finishes with custom retainers.
FAQs · Clear Aligners
Most cases yes — but not all. Complex bite corrections and significant rotations are sometimes better with fixed braces. We'll show you the digital plan at consultation and you'll see the predicted final result before you commit.
Fees range from $3,200 to $11,750 depending on case complexity and treatment time. Following an initial deposit (from $1,500), we offer interest-free fortnightly payment plans typically over 24 months, and provide a receipt for you to claim through your private health fund.
Mail-order aligner kits don't include specialist supervision. Tooth movement without monitoring carries a risk of moving teeth into an unintended position or causing root resorption, and any complications would need to be assessed and managed in-clinic. We'd recommend a specialist consultation before starting any aligner treatment.
