Invisalign Services Bentleigh East
Located near Bentleigh East and looking for Invisalign services?
Invisalign is a set of clear removable aligners that can straighten teeth and improve your smile without using traditional braces. The aligners add slight pressure to your teeth to move them into the ideal alignment. Aligners are very comfortable and almost invisible. Invisalign use "attachments" as pressure points to move teeth. These attachments are tooth coloured and are not very noticeable. You can remove the aligners to eat and drink and for oral hygiene purposes.

Experts in Invisalign straightening treatments — based in Bentleigh East.
Invisalign has become one of our most popular forms of treatment thanks to their discreet nature. Quite often we chat to patients who may have been put off seeking braces as a cosmetic option, purely because of the prospect of wearing metal braces. However, thanks to Invisalign, those days are long gone! So, how does it all work?
When you opt for Invisalign, you will receive of custom-molded clear aligners. These aligners are changed every 4-6 weeks (depending on the amount of movement required) as part of your treatment. Along with being almost unnoticeable due to their clear design, Invisalign braces are also completely removable. This means you can eat, drink and even brush your teeth as normal throughout the entirety of your treatment. It also works great for people who have previously worn braces as children and had some orthodontic relapse where the teeth drift back. With these clear aligners you can move the teeth back without anyone knowing.
Invisalign is suitable for both teenagers and adults alike. We use gentle pressure method to move your teeth it is completely normal to have a sensation that they are slightly loose. This is because the ligaments that hold your teeth in are being stretched a bit. Don’t worry when the braces come off this goes away entirely. Other than that, treatment will feel the same whether you get treatment when you are in your teens, or whether you get treatment when you are an adult.
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of. Invisible aligners are not suitable for every case and clear braces or 6 month braces are our most popular choice.

The Difference Between Invisalign and Traditional Braces
The main aspect that patients appeal to Invisalign is that they are clear and removable. This is favourable for patients who are looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth. Patients who struggle with oral hygiene can still straighten their teeth while focusing on brushing and flossing. The 3D video also motivates patients as they have an idea of the end result before they begin. The result of Invisalign also depends on how compliant the patient will be in wearing the aligners.
Comprehensive braces are noticeable whether they are clear or metal. However, braces are more effective in correcting severely overcrowded teeth and crossbites. The orthodontist controls the movement of teeth in braces. Not everyone is eligible to receive Invisalign treatment. There are many factors that can affect this.
The best way to find out if you can avail of Invisalign is to book a free consultation with one of our very experienced orthodontists.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is effective from the very first aligner. It takes 6-9 months on average to complete the treatment, but everyone has their own treatment plan. Your orthodontist can tell you how long it will take at the consultation appointment.
Invisalign is not sore. It is a snug clear aligner that sits well over the teeth. It has slight pressure points to move teeth but should not be painful. Some people may experience some temporary discomfort for the first few days at the beginning of an aligner but this will fade after a few days.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Invisalign
The Invisalign system can potentially take a bit longer to adjust teeth into the desired position. They are however practically invisible once they are worn, so they offer a great discreet way for patients to adjust their teeth without anyone knowing.
Traditional braces can make it a challenge to brush and floss your teeth. With the aligner trays you simply remove them when you are ready to brush and floss your teeth. Once your mouth and your trays are clean, you can replace the aligner tray.
Aligner trays can also be removed when it’s time to enjoy a favorite meal. With traditional braces patients often find that there are some sticky or chewy foods that are not a great choice for them to continue to enjoy. Things like toffees can stick to the brackets and wires. They can potentially also cause damage to the braces.
Invisalign braces don’t require patients to abstain from favourite sports and other physical activities. The clear retainers may even help to protect the teeth during an impact.
