Invisalign Treatment Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Invisalign and other orthodontic treatment options?
Invisalign aligners offer a modern alternative to traditional braces, with differences in comfort, appearance, and daily convenience. Here’s how they compare across key features:
| Feature | Invisalign (Clear Aligners) | Traditional Braces |
| Appearance | Nearly invisible when worn | Noticeable metal brackets and wires |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic trays with minimal irritation | May cause irritation from wires or brackets |
| Removability | Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing | Can’t be removed until treatment ends |
| Diet Restrictions | None (aligners removed during meals) | Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods |
| Oral Hygiene | Easier to maintain normal brushing and flossing routines | More difficult to clean around appliances |
| Follow-up Visits | Fewer in-clinic visits; some remote monitoring available | Regular adjustment appointments in-clinic |
| Aesthetics for Adults | Preferred by many for its discreet appearance | Less popular among adults due to visibility |
Invisalign may be a good choice for those who prefer a more discreet and flexible treatment option. Traditional braces, on the other hand, can be better suited for complex orthodontic needs.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack material, a patented, flexible plastic designed to deliver gentle, consistent force with improved comfort. The aligners work by gradually moving your teeth through a carefully sequenced treatment plan.
Here’s how the process works:
- Custom-fit trays:
Your dentist will create a digital 3D model of your teeth to design aligners that fit snugly and accurately. - Incremental adjustments:
Each set of aligners is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks, shifting your teeth slightly with each stage. - Progressive results:
The aligners apply targeted pressure to guide teeth into improved alignment over time. - Predictable planning:
Your treatment is mapped out digitally from start to finish, allowing you to visualise expected outcomes before you begin.
When worn as recommended, Invisalign provides a structured and effective path to straighter teeth, with the flexibility to fit seamlessly into daily life.
What age is appropriate for Invisalign?
Invisalign therapy can be beneficial for children, teenagers, and adults, as long as their teeth and gums are in good health for orthodontic treatment.
- Children (6–10 years):
Early teeth straightening needs, such as mild crowding or spacing, may be addressed with Invisalign First, designed for growing patients. - Teenagers:
Teens often benefit from the flexibility and appearance of clear aligners as they continue to grow. - Adults:
Many adults choose Invisalign treatment to discreetly and comfortably improve their smile alignment.
In a consultation, your dentist will evaluate your specific needs and stage of dental development to decide if clear aligners are appropriate for you.
Who is not a suitable candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners can be helpful for many people, but they aren’t suitable for everyone. Some dental conditions may limit the effectiveness of clear aligners.
Common reasons a person may not be an ideal candidate include the following:
- Severe bite irregularities or jaw alignment issues may require more complex orthodontic treatments than custom aligners can offer.
- Significant tooth wear or multiple missing teeth can affect how well the aligners fit and function.
- Advanced gum disease needs to be addressed before beginning any teeth straightening treatment.
- Inconsistent oral hygiene routines increase the risk of plaque buildup during Invisalign treatment.
- Difficulty committing to daily wear time can impact results, as aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day to be effective.
Your dentist will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if Invisalign aligners are the right option for your smile goals.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort when they first begin wearing Invisalign aligners or switch to a new set. This pressure is a normal sign that your teeth are starting to shift.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners have smooth edges and no metal components, which helps reduce irritation to the cheeks and gums.
Any sensitivity usually settles within a few days as your mouth adjusts. Mild soreness is expected as part of the teeth straightening process, but it’s generally manageable and temporary.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
It’s common to notice a slight change in speech, such as a minor lisp, during the first few days of wearing clear aligners. This usually improves quickly as your tongue adapts to speaking with them in place.
Because custom aligners are made to fit snugly over your teeth, they’re less likely to interfere with normal speech long term. Most patients adjust within a few days and speak comfortably throughout their Invisalign treatment.
Do you wear Invisalign all day?
Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. You’ll need to remove them only when eating, drinking anything besides water, and during brushing and flossing.
Consistently wearing your aligners is crucial for staying on track with your Invisalign treatment plan. Inconsistent wear may slow progress and affect the effectiveness of your teeth moving into alignment.
Following daily wear guidelines supports a smoother journey towards achieving straight teeth.
How long do you have to wear Invisalign?
The average duration of an Invisalign treatment ranges from 6 to 24 months, depending on your dental needs and goals. While every case is different, several key factors influence how long you’ll need to wear your Invisalign aligners:
- Complexity of your teeth straightening needs:
More significant crowding, gaps, or bite issues usually require a longer treatment timeline. - Consistency with daily wear:
Invisalign aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Inconsistent wear can delay progress. - Number of aligners in your plan:
A higher number of aligner stages usually means a longer treatment period. - Age and dental responsiveness:
Younger patients may respond more quickly to treatment, while adults can take slightly longer, depending on bone density and tooth movement. - Regular progress checks and compliance:
Attending check-ups and following your dentist’s instructions can help keep your treatment on track.
Your dentist will create a personalised timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout your teeth straightening journey.
How many trays of Invisalign are needed to see results?
The number of Invisalign aligners you’ll wear depends on your individual alignment goals and the starting position of your teeth. Each treatment plan is personalised based on the number of movements required.
- Mild to moderate changes
may require between 8 and 14 sets of aligners. Many people notice early progress after a few weeks of regular wear. - More involved alignment needs
such as spacing, bite shifts, or crowding, can involve 15 to 30 or more sets of trays. Visible improvements may appear after a few months, with the full treatment taking a longer time to complete.
Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1 to 2 weeks before switching to the next set. Staying consistent with your aligner schedule helps you achieve steady movement towards your desired outcome.
How often do I need to visit my dentist at Redlands Gentle Dental Care for check-ups during Invisalign treatment?
Check-up frequency during Invisalign treatment depends on your treatment plan, but most patients attend appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. These visits enable your dentist to assess your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and verify that your custom aligners are functioning as intended.
In some cases, remote monitoring technology may reduce the need for in-person appointments. With consistent support from your dental team, Invisalign can help guide you towards your goal of straight teeth through a carefully monitored approach.
Can you drink coffee with Invisalign?
You should remove your Invisalign aligners before drinking coffee. Hot drinks can distort the plastic, and dark liquids like coffee may stain clear aligners and reduce their transparency.
If you do take a sip while wearing them, rinse your mouth and aligners with water shortly after. To keep your aligners clean and clear, it’s recommended to only drink plain water while they’re in place and reinsert them promptly after your coffee break.
How do I clean and care for my Invisalign aligners?
To maintain the clarity and cleanliness of your aligners, wash them with lukewarm water each time you take them out. Gently brush them with a soft toothbrush—separate from the one you use for your teeth—and use clear, unscented soap if needed.
Do not use hot water, as it can cause the plastic to warp. Store your aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage. Keeping them clean helps you maintain both comfort and appearance as you work towards straight teeth.
What should I do if I lose or damage an aligner?
If you misplace or damage one of your Invisalign aligners, contact your dentist as soon as possible. They’ll advise whether to move forward to the next set, return to the previous one, or order a replacement based on your progress.
In the meantime, wearing your most recent aligner can help maintain your current tooth position. Staying consistent supports your goal of straight teeth and helps avoid delays in your Invisalign treatment.
Do your teeth shift back after completing Invisalign treatment?
After completing Invisalign treatment, some minor movement can occur if retainers aren’t worn as directed. Teeth naturally tend to shift over time, especially when retainers are not worn.
To help preserve your results, your dentist will recommend a custom retainer to wear regularly after finishing Invisalign treatment. Following this advice plays a crucial role in maintaining straight teeth in the long term.
What happens after I complete my Invisalign treatment?
Once you’ve finished wearing your Invisalign aligners, your dentist will assess your progress and fit you with retainers to help keep your teeth in their new positions.
Wearing your retainers as recommended is important to maintain the alignment you’ve achieved. This step helps protect your investment in achieving straight teeth and supports long-term dental stability.
What is the average cost of Invisalign in Brisbane?
The cost of teeth straightening using Invisalign in Victoria Point depends on your individual needs and the details of your Invisalign treatment plan. A few factors can influence pricing:
- Case complexity:
Minor alignment issues typically require fewer aligners and are less expensive. More complex alignment needs usually require more trays and appointments. - Treatment length:
Longer plans often involve additional dental visits and aligners, which increases the overall cost. - Clinic location and services included:
Pricing can vary between clinics and regions. Some plans may include appliances like retainers or treatments like whitening products.
At Redlands Gentle Dental Care, Invisalign treatment packages start from $5,500, which includes retainers and tooth-whitening gel. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your smile and provide a personalised quote. Interest-free payment plans are available to help make straight teeth more accessible.
