Invisalign® in Mount Waverley

Teeth Straightening with Invisalign®

Teeth straightening with relative ease is now possible for adults of any age with Invisalign® clear aligner technology. No longer limited to just a few, teeth straightening is now accessible to adult patients whose teeth have shifted with age or who didn’t have the opportunity to straighten their teeth during childhood. Traditional fixed metal braces are unappealing to many. If you fall into this category, Dickson Street Dental provides Invisalign® treatment that works.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Among the many benefits of Invisalign® for teeth straightening is the fact it is a far more discreet approach to orthodontic treatment. Although Invisalign® may not be suitable for every patient, a consultation with one of our experienced dentists at Dickson Street Dental will answer all your questions. We’ll even share some of our patient success stories!

Questions? Let’s Answer Them

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a fully removable aligner system. Instead of braces, we supply custom-made clear BPA-free plastic aligners that fit closely over your teeth, gently yet firmly moving them into the correct positions. Gradually over time, this creates a straighter smile. The aligners are virtually invisible once in the mouth. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with new aligners. This process continues to gently move your teeth until treatment is completed. Treatment times vary according to the complexity of the issues to be addressed. A consultation with our experienced dentist at Dickson Street Dental will provide you with a more accurate treatment time.

Why is Invisalign® a Good Way to Straighten Teeth?

The Invisalign® system is very user-friendly. Aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and when you want to brush and floss. With Invisalign®, you won’t spend excessive time cleaning around fiddly brackets and wires. You don’t even need to change your diet. Instead, you can continue with everyday life while your teeth are straightened. Most patients find there is virtually no impact on their social, work, or regular daily life. As part of your Invisalign® treatment plan at our Mount Waverley practice, we will see you at regular intervals to check treatment progress and provide more aligners. These appointments are brief as adjustments aren’t required like they are for conventional fixed braces.

Who Can Have Invisalign® Treatment?

Invisalign® is best suited for adults; however, in some cases, it might be suitable for older teens who can demonstrate a high level of commitment to the daily straightening regime (aligners must be worn 22 hours daily). Invisalign® can correct a large number of orthodontic problems, including overcrowding and teeth that are out of alignment. Bite problems, such as open bites, crossbites, overbites, and underbites, can also be corrected. Invisalign® can close up or minimise spaces between teeth as well.

What is the Procedure for Invisalign®?

When you come to see us at Dickson Street Dental, we will carefully examine your mouth to identify the problems requiring correction. As part of that process, we take photos and use Invisalign’s professional software to plan treatment step-by-step. The software produces virtual images so you can see how your teeth will move and, of course, the final results. Following this step, your aligners are custom-made so you can begin straightening your teeth.

Why Choose Invisalign®

Apart from straighter teeth being easier to clean, there are many other reasons that make Invisalign® a good choice for teeth straightening:

Virtually Invisible: Invisalign® aligners are a clear alternative to braces, providing a virtually invisible option that lets you maintain your confidence and lifestyle even during treatment.
More Comfortable: Invisalign® aligners are comfortable, with no metal brackets to irritate gums or the inside of the mouth.
Maintain Oral Hygiene with Ease: Invisalign® aligners are removable, making it easier to clean teeth and maintain oral health during treatment.
Potentially Fewer Dental Visits: Invisalign® treatment typically requires fewer visits during treatment than other types of braces.
Track Your Progress: Invisalign® treatment allows you to see each stage of the treatment process, from beginning to end, including cases where treatment needs to be refined progressively.

Since the aligners are almost invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, so you can keep doing what you love.
