Want straight teeth without getting metal braces? Invisalign may be the clear answer.

Invisalign uses removable and clear aligners to straighten your teeth, giving you a winning smile. They’re virtually invisible and are a popular and hygienic orthodontic solution for those who don’t want typical metal braces impacting on their appearance. Similar to a mouth or dental retainer, the Invisalign system gradually moves your teeth into the desired position.

Finding the right Invisalign-trained orthodontist is the first step in your journey.

In this article, we’ll outline the qualities to consider when choosing an orthodontist who uses Invisalign, and share where to find the best in Canberra.

What makes a great Invisalign provider?

Choosing the right Invisalign orthodontist will remove the stress and worry out of your investment. It will also help you understand exactly what your treatment is about.

It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing an Invisalign provider.

  • Experience with Invisalign technology. Not all providers work with Invisalign technology, so you’ll want to choose one who has the right training, experience and proven track record in doing so.
  • Flexible payment plans. Invisalign and other dental treatments can be expensive. The best Invisalign providers offer flexible payment plans so you can improve the health and appearance of your mouth without having to pay upfront.
  • Top-of-the line equipment. Invisalign treatments require specialised equipment so you’ll want to ask your provider about what they use. It’s best to select a clean and modern clinic fully stocked with the latest Invisalign technology.
  • Friendly and clear communications. Straightening your teeth is an involved procedure that can take time. As an Invisalign customer, you’ll want friendly and clear communications from your provider and the staff working at the clinic, to provide you with total assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign just as effective as metal braces?

Every patient’s needs are different, so you need to talk to your dentist or orthodontist about your own case. Two benefits of Invisalign are that the aligners are almost completely invisible and that they’re removable. They can also be more comfortable than metal braces because they’re made of smooth plastic that doesn’t always irritate your gums or cheeks.

Is Invisalign 100 per cent clear?

Invisalign aligners are almost completely clear. Unless someone is looking close up, they’re unlikely to notice that you’re wearing Invisalign. Because they’re custom made for you, they fit exactly which helps make them almost invisible, even in photos.

Do Invisalign aligners hurt like metal braces do?

Invisalign uses a different system to metal braces and you may feel a little extra pressure or discomfort for the first few days (this varies patient by patient). This is totally normal. The pressure tells you that your new aligners are working and gently correcting the shape of your teeth.

Do I wear the same Invisalign aligners throughout my treatment?

Invisalign reports that you'll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, as prescribed by your dentist or orthodontist. You’ll probably schedule check-ups every six to eight weeks to check your progress. Fewer dental visits mean more time to enjoy life.

How do I clean my aligners?

Your orthodontist or dentist will explain cleaning procedures to you in detail. Overall, you’ll need to rinse your aligners every night and brush them gently with your toothbrush to keep them fresh and clean.

I would choose Civic Gentle Dental Care in a heart beat. They have the most experienced dentists who also have extensive experience in Invisalign. They are Invisalign Platinum Provider. Their cost is transparent and a fractional of others, while use the same technology and lab (Invisalign). I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Yes definitely go to Embrace Ortho. I worked for them for over a year and the doctors are Platinum providers for Invisalign in Canberra. Meaning they have the most Invisalign cases in the ACT.

Well you should definitely have worn your retainers! But if you need bracers again Invisalign is certainly the way to go. Whilst almost all Orthodontists will be able to assist, I would highly recommend SuperSmiles in either Belconnen or the City. The Belconnen practice is the newest office with very experienced Orthos and they have fantastic modern facilities. Great for an adult patient!

Embrace Orthodontists. They have 2 surgeries, one in Manuka and the other in Emu Bank, Belconnen.
