Wearing clear aligners is a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth. Fix mild and moderate occlusal / bite problems, gaps and crowded teeth with our clear aligner orthodontic treatments.
Clear aligner treatment is designed to move teeth that are not positioned correctly in the mouth. Treatment involves wearing a series of removable aligner sets that gently guide your teeth into the correct position over time by exerting pressure on them. Each set of clear teeth aligners is custom-moulded to conform with your individualised treatment flow..
Full treatment involves replacing your aligners every 7 – 14 days with a new set to ensure your teeth remain under constant pressure. This ensures your teeth do not shift back to their previous incorrect position.
Aligners can be used to treat a variety of mild and moderate tooth position issues, including malocclusions like underbites, overbites, crossbites and open bites. Aligners are also used to treat crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and minor gaps between teeth.
Clear aligner therapy is best suited to treat minor to moderate cases, with more severe cases typically requiring more extensive and powerful treatments like fixed braces. Your dentist will examine your teeth, jaws and gums to ensure that aligner treatment will be effective with long-lasting results.
Clear aligners are popular for adults as an alternative to braces, with unique advantages including:
We begin by examining your teeth, jaws and gums to determine whether clear aligners are a suitable treatment for you or if you would be best suited to fixed orthodontics. The decision will be based on the severity of your teeth malalignment.
If aligners are suitable, we take multiple pictures and Intra Oral Scans of your teeth to create computerised 3D images of your unique bite and use those to plan your treatment.
We can see how your teeth will move over time. If you agree to proceed, your ‘aligners’ are custom-designed according to this plan.
Once your aligners are created, we place the first set on your teeth to check their fit and ensure they will provide adequate pressure to move your teeth, without being too uncomfortable to wear.
Each set of aligners is usually replaced every one to two weeks with a new set, and we continually monitor your progress for effectiveness. The average full clear aligner treatment takes around 12 months.
Clear aligners can help to move your teeth into a more satisfying smile without many of the normal drawbacks of fixed orthodontic treatment. We welcome new patients from across Melbourne and interstate looking for the highest standard of care. Interested in clear aligners in Melbourne?

Yes, wearing a retainer after aligner treatment is essential to maintain your newly straightened teeth. It helps prevent them from shifting back to their original positions. Your dentist will discuss the different retainer types with you.
No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners can damage them and lead to a poor fit, impacting your treatment progress.
Aligners immediately after placement may cause some pressure, especially when you first wear a new set. This sensation is normal and typically subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust and start to move.
Clear aligner treatment is safe for most teens, adults and even some of our older patients, but there are a number of important factors for you and the dentist to consider before committing to the treatment. Patients must be able to commit to wearing the aligners for 20 hours a day, as well as cleaning their teeth every time before their aligners go back in. Additionally, patients should have healthy teeth and gums before starting treatment. Existing problems like gum disease or cavities must be addressed before orthodontic treatment can commence.
