How It Works
Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient using 3D imaging technology. Patients receive a series of aligners, each designed to make slight adjustments to the position of the teeth. Aligners are typically worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, and each set is used for about two weeks before switching to the next one.
Treatment
Invisalign is a system of clear, plastic aligners custom-made to fit an individual's teeth. The aligners are designed to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions in order to fix issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, etc. The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case but usually ranges from 6 to 18 months. For some patients, treatment could take longer.
Benefits
Benefits
The clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want a less noticeable orthodontic treatment. Made from smooth plastic, aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces. They can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, which means no dietary restrictions and easier oral hygiene.

About Orthodontic Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic device that can help you straighten your teeth without metal braces. They are made of transparent plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional braces. Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. You will need to wear a series of aligners, each one slightly different from the previous one, to achieve your ideal smile.
There are different brands of clear aligners available in Australia, such as SureSmile, Invisalign, Spark, Race, Reveal and Clear Correct. Each brand has its own features, benefits, costs, and treatment time. Here at Dental Garden our preferred clear aligner system is SureSmile by Dentsply Sirona, a well trusted German dental manufacturing company. We love SureSmile because the treatment plan is designed by a specialist orthodontist, and is then customised by the dentist and technician until we have designed your ideal smile goals.
We use 3D digital scanning, photography and CBCT (3D digital radiography) to correlate your teeth, gums, face and bone to aid in safety and predicatbility of results.
If you are interested in clear aligners, you should consult with a qualified dentist or orthodontist who can assess your teeth and recommend the best treatment for you. You can also learn more about SureSmile clear aligners by visiting their website
