Discreet orthodontics with ClearCorrect, SureSmile, and Invisalign aligners

Avoid the metal mouth appearance with invisible dental braces

MyLocalDentists icon page

Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and SureSmile aligners are the ideal option in orthodontics for individuals wanting perfectly aligned and straight teeth without the “metal mouth” appearance.

Unlike traditional braces in dentistry that employ fixed metal brackets and wires, modern aligners such as Invisalign are removable, clear and virtually undetectable.

Comprising a series of custom clear plastic trays, Invisalign, SureSmile and ClearCorrect aligners are worn by patients to correct mild-to-moderate tooth misalignments.

The custom-made trays are designed to move teeth gradually and discreetly into their proper positions in the mouth.

Clear aligners vs traditional brackets

Clear aligners are clinically proven to be as effective as traditional braces in correcting mild to moderate tooth alignment.

Dental problems, including crowding, crooked teeth, overbite, and gap teeth, can be corrected using SureSmile, ClearCorrect and Invisalign clear aligners. Our patients can gradually have their teeth and gums guided into their proper positions in the jaw without compromising on their appearance.

Unlike fixed metal or ceramic braces, it is easy to remove Invisalign aligners available from our Sydney practices, making good oral hygiene effortless. You can brush, floss, eat or drink whenever you want without worrying about metal wires or dental brackets getting dislodged or damaged!

Invisalign Aligners – Teeth Alignment Process

1

The assessment

Our experienced dentists will assess you and clear you for treatment. Unfortunately, it cannot fix severe rotations or overcrowding.

2

The planning

Next, we take accurate 3D scans of your teeth using a digital scanner. We will use these scans to plan the treatment and map every stage of tooth movement.
3

Custom making

Once we have decided on a treatment plan, we will fabricate your Invisalign aligners and deliver them to you. You will have to wear the dental trays for 20-22 hours a day.

4

The switch

Don’t forget to switch to the next set of Invisalign aligners every two weeks. This ensures the teeth move gradually into the desired positions in the proper order.

If you are hoping to transform your smile with Invisalign clear aligners with us, then call or visit our clinic in person to schedule an appointment. We also offer Invisalign alternatives, including ClearCorrect and SureSmile, at our clinics to save on cost.

Possible Risks and Considerations with Clear Aligner Treatment

MyLocalDentists icon page
Wearing your aligners as instructed matters

If you don’t wear them for the recommended hours each day, skip appointments, or don’t follow your dentist’s directions, your treatment may take longer and results may not be as expected.

Mild soreness is normal

It’s common to feel some pressure or tenderness when switching to a new set of aligners.

Irritation may happen

Your gums, cheeks, or lips may feel scratched or irritated at times.

Teeth can shift back after treatment

Wearing your retainer as instructed at the end of treatment helps keep your new smile in place.

Tooth decay or gum problems
Eating sugary foods or drinks, or not brushing and flossing before putting in your aligners, can increase your risk of cavities, gum disease, or permanent marks on your teeth. Good oral hygiene is essential.
Temporary speech changes
Some people notice a mild lisp at first. This usually goes away within a week or two.
Dry mouth or extra saliva
Aligners can sometimes cause a dry mouth or increased saliva. Certain medications may make this worse.
Attachments on teeth
Small, tooth-coloured bumps may be placed on some teeth to help the aligners work. They’re removed after treatment.
Slight reshaping of teeth

Your dentist may gently smooth between certain teeth to make space for movement.

Changes in your bite
Your bite may feel different during treatment, and some minor adjustments may be needed after treatment finishes.
Extra treatments may be needed
In more complex cases, additional tools (such as elastics, small devices, or other dental work) may be required to reach the desired outcome.
Black triangles” between teeth
When crowded teeth are straightened, small gaps at the gumline can sometimes appear.
Dental implants don’t move
Aligners cannot move implants already placed in the mouth.
Your general health matters
Some medical conditions or medications can affect your treatment and how your gums and bone respond.
Surgery may be required
In some cases of severe crowding or jaw problems, oral surgery might be recommended before or during treatment. Surgery carries its own risks, such as anaesthetic reactions and healing issues.
Existing dental work or damaged teeth
Teeth that have been injured or heavily filled may react differently to movement and sometimes need extra care or treatment. Crowns or other restorations may loosen and need re-cementing or replacement.
Short teeth may make aligners less effective
Very short teeth can make it harder for aligners to stay in place and move teeth properly.
Root shortening
In some cases, the roots of teeth can shorten slightly during orthodontic treatment, which may affect long-term tooth health.
Aligner breakage
Aligners may be more likely to crack or break if there’s severe crowding or missing teeth.
Accidental swallowing

Small parts or the aligners themselves could, very rarely, be swallowed or inhaled.

Jaw joint issues

In rare cases, jaw joint pain, headaches, or ear problems may occur.

Allergic reactions

Although uncommon, some people may be allergic to the materials in the aligners.

Teeth not covered by aligners may over-erupt

Any teeth that are not at least partly covered by the aligner could slowly rise out of position.
