What Is Invisalign, and Who Is a Candidate?A woman holding Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Wahroonga, NWS

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to move your teeth into the proper position. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a popular treatment option compared to traditional braces.

You may be a candidate for Invisalign if you have:

  • Mild to moderate misalignment — Invisalign can correct crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced teeth.
  • Bite issues — Overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites can be improved with Invisalign treatment.
  • A desire for discreet treatment — The clear aligners provide a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without noticeable metal braces.
  • Commitment to wearing aligners — To be effective, Invisalign aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours a day.

Our team will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign is the best option for you.

Why Choose Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign offers numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments. Here’s how it can improve your smile journey:
Convenient Care
Because you can take your aligners out when eating, brushing or flossing, it’s easier to care for your teeth and gums.
Discreet Appearance
The clear aligners are barely noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to yourself.
Comfortable Fit
Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic, eliminating the irritation caused by metal brackets and wires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Keeping your Invisalign® aligners clean is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and ensuring your treatment progresses as planned. Since aligners are worn for most of the day, they can accumulate bacteria and plaque if not properly cared for.

At Wahroonga Village Dentistry, we recommend a simple but effective cleaning routine to keep your aligners fresh and clear.

Best Practices for Cleaning Invisalign Aligners

Follow these steps to keep your aligners in top condition:

  • Rinse regularly — Always rinse your aligners with lukewarm water when you remove them. This will help you avoid saliva and plaque buildup.
  • Brush gently — Use a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented soap to gently clean your aligners. Avoid toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive.
  • Soak daily — Use Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner to soak your aligners for a deeper clean.
  • Avoid staining foods and drinks — Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent discolouration.
  • Store properly — When not in use, keep your aligners in their protective case to prevent damage and contamination.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

  • Consultation and treatment planning — We begin with a thorough assessment of your teeth and take digital scans to create a customised treatment plan.
  • Custom aligners — Using advanced 3-D imaging, a series of clear aligners is created specifically for you. Each set is designed to gradually shift your teeth into place.
  • Wearing your aligners — You’ll only remove your aligners to eat, drink and clean your teeth. About every two weeks, we’ll direct you to switch to the next set of aligners in the series.
  • Progress check-ups — Throughout treatment, you’ll visit our dental clinic for periodic check-ups to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
  • Maintaining results — Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners Technology

Panoramic X-Rays

Panoramic x-rays provide a comprehensive view of the entire mouth, allowing the dentist to see the teeth, jaws and sinuses, as well as the surrounding structures. Unlike traditional x-rays, panoramic imaging captures a single image that displays both the upper and lower jaws in a single scan. This technology is beneficial for assessing wisdom teeth, jawbone issues, orthodontics and planning for dental implants. Panoramic x-rays use lower radiation levels compared to traditional full-mouth x-rays and are quick and non-invasive. By offering a broad perspective, they help dentists detect potential problems early and plan more effective treatments for long-term oral health.
