Invisalign vs braces

Enjoy the benefits of Invisalign for adults compared to traditional metal braces.

Practically invisible

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. The clear aligners fit snugly next to your teeth and are not as noticeable as metal brackets and wires.

More comfortable

Patients report little discomfort with Invisalign, as no wires irritate the mouth. They describe feeling slight pressure during the first few days after inserting a new aligner.

Newfound flexibility

Unlike braces that stay on until the end of treatment, Invisalign can be taken off at any time. Enjoy any food and drink, easier brushing and flossing, and fewer appointments.

Shorter treatment time

Treatment time tends to be shorter with adult Invisalign than with traditional braces, with the average adult treatment lasting twelve to fourteen months.

Just as durable

Results from Invisalign clear aligners last just as long as those from traditional braces. After treatment, a fixed retainer should be worn at night to maintain your new smile.

The Invisalign procedure

Getting Invisalign in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie is easy with ABC Orthodontics.

  1. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If it is, then we design a treatment plan specifically for you.
  2. A sequence of customised aligners is created using advanced computer imaging and manufacturing. The custom clear aligners are made from an elastic thermoplastic material that applies pressure to your teeth to precisely guide them into place.
  3. You wear each aligner for about two weeks for 20-22 hours per day, taking them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss (and for special occasions). Each aligner is made slightly different to the previous aligner. This difference results in pressure being applied at a specific point on the teeth which enables specific and pre-planned movements of the teeth.
  4. After two weeks, you remove the current aligner and replace it with the next one in the series. Because of the pressure put on specific teeth by each aligner, your teeth move gradually into the desired final position.

Invisalign for teenagers

Invisalign Teen is designed especially for teenagers ready to take control of their smile journey. With a clever blue wear indicator, it’s easy to track progress—when the dot fades, it’s time for the next set of aligners. No hassle, no guesswork.

Discover the clear choice for teens seeking a comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Invisalign move teeth?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner is designed with precise adjustments that apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them step by step over time.

The aligners are changed every 1-2 weeks, and the process is guided by your orthodontist to achieve the desired results.

Can you get Invisalign at any age?

Yes. There is no minimum or maximum age for Invisalign in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. If you are interested in getting Invisalign as an adult, please call our friendly team to book a consultation today.

Note that Invisalign is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is the best option for you.

Do I need an orthodontist for Invisalign?

We always recommend visiting an orthodontist for Invisalign. While this treatment is available from general dentists, orthodontists have specialised training in diagnosing and treating alignment issues.

By choosing an orthodontist for your Invisalign care, you benefit from a tailored treatment plan designed by a specialist with years of advanced training in correcting bite problems and complex cases. This experience helps ensure the best outcome for your smile.

How long does Invisalign take?

In general, the majority of our patients complete Invisalign treatment within one year.

To determine the duration of treatment required, please book a consultation with one of our orthodontists today.

How do I clean Invisalign?

To clean your Invisalign aligners properly, rinse them with water and brush them using a dedicated toothbrush and clear liquid soap to get rid of any dirt or food debris.

Finish with a final rinse of water.

Do I need retainers after Invisalign?

Yes, you need to use a retainer after completing Invisalign treatment.

Similarly to metal braces, a retainer will help prevent your teeth from moving back into the original position.

Can Invisalign close gaps?

Yes, Invisalign can close gaps. This is a very popular reason for such treatment.

Can Invisalign fix protruding front teeth?

Yes, Invisalign can fix protruding front teeth. However, there must be sufficient room for these front teeth to move back into. Please discuss your eligibility with one of our orthodontists.

Can Invisalign fix facial asymmetry?

In some cases, yes. Invisalign works to align teeth, which in turn have an influence on the evenness of your jaw and therefore facial asymmetry.

Can Invisalign fix crossbites in adults?

Yes, sometimes. Invisalign may be able to correct crossbites in adults by gradually shifting misaligned teeth into a proper position. The clear aligners are custom-made to apply targeted pressure, helping to correct both single-tooth and multiple-tooth crossbites over time.

Can Invisalign fix open bites in adults?

In some cases, yes. Invisalign can help correct open bites in adults by gently moving teeth to close the gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.

Can Invisalign fix underbite in adults?

Invisalign can be used to treat mild to moderate underbites in adults by shifting the lower teeth back or the upper teeth forward.

However, severe underbites may require a combination of Invisalign and additional dental procedures for the best outcome.

Can you get Invisalign after veneers?

Yes, you can get Invisalign after veneers. The clear aligners will be custom-fitted over the veneers just as they would a natural tooth.

That said, your veneers must be in healthy condition and bonded correctly to your teeth. You may also need attachments to ensure your aligners are fit tightly.

Can you wear Invisalign if you have crowns?

Yes, you can wear Invisalign if you have crowns. The clear aligners will be custom fit over and around any existing crowns.

However, we may need to bond an attachment to the tooth to help it move in the right direction.

Can I get Invisalign if I have cavities?

We do not recommend getting Invisalign if you have cavities.

Generally, fixing the cavity itself is a more pressing issue than misalignment, and a cavity can’t heal while you are using aligners.

Therefore, we suggest treating your cavity before beginning Invisalign.

How crooked can your teeth be for Invisalign?

Although it’s often assumed that Invisalign only works for minor straightening issues, these clear aligners can also be used to address very crooked, gapped, overcrowded or misaligned teeth.

Can you take out Invisalign?

Yes, you can take out your Invisalign aligners for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.

You may also remove them for special occasions, such as a job interview, date, sports match or wedding – as long as you still remember to wear them for 22 hours a day!

How many hours a day do I have to wear Invisalign?

You need to wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 22 out of every 24 hours per day. This will give you enough time to eat, drink, brush and floss your teeth without compromising on results.

What can you eat and drink with Invisalign?

You can eat and drink anything you like while undergoing Invisalign treatment. Simply remove your aligners before your meal and enjoy!

Can you whiten teeth with Invisalign?

Yes, it is possible to whiten teeth while undergoing Invisalign treatment. However, we recommend waiting to whiten your teeth six months after you have completed your alignment.

This is because your teeth have heightened sensitivity during treatment, which may lead to complications if you undergo a whitening procedure.

Can I swim with Invisalign?

Yes, you can swim with Invisalign teeth aligners, which are precisely calibrated and fit to ensure they do not come loose.

Can you get Invisalign for bottom teeth only?

Yes, you can get Invisalign for bottom or top teeth only. However, in most cases, you will need to treat both rows of teeth to ensure a stable bite after treatment.

How much is Invisalign?

The cost of Invisalign for adults varies according to the severity and complexity of your teeth’s issues.

To determine the extent and approximate cost of treatment required, please book a consultation with one of our orthodontists today.

Does Medicare cover Invisalign for adults?

No. Medicare does not provide coverage for Invisalign or other orthodontic treatments for adults in Australia, as they are deemed elective.

However, certain private health insurance plans that include Extras cover may offer partial benefits for Invisalign.

The level of coverage depends on your specific insurer and policy, so it’s best to review your health insurance plan or speak directly with your provider to confirm what’s included.
