Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign is a modern breakthrough in orthodontics with many advantages over conventional braces. Probably the number one reason Invisalign is a favourite alternative to braces is the fact that the aligners are clear and therefore very hard to see. A lot of people who want straighter teeth are put off by the appearance of conventional metal braces, making Invisalign much more appealing. As well as being nearly invisible, Invisalign is also a comfortable and less bulky orthodontic treatment, without the need for metal brackets and wires.
Another benefit of choosing Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This makes it easier to look after your oral hygiene during treatment; you can still brush and floss as you normally would – just take the aligners out when you need to clean your teeth. The same is true for eating and drinking: because you can remove Invisalign, the treatment does not stop you eating particular foods.
Even those who have had other orthodontic treatment that they are not happy with, or those whose teeth have moved since other treatments, are eligible for Invisalign.
Invisalign Comprehensive (unlimited aligners) Suitable for moderate to severe crowding/spacing.
Invisalign Lite (Up to 14 aligners) Suited to patients with minor dental problems.
Invisalign Express (Up to 7 aligners) Suited to patients with a relapse after braces from a younger age or very mild movement requirements.
Invisalign Teen is the discreet way to straighten teenagers teeth with added benefits such as wear indicators to check usage and additional replacements included in case an aligner is lost.
As a guide, Invisalign treatment by a specialist orthodontist at Smile Solutions costs between $4,200 for Invisalign express, up to $9,900 for a full case.

To ascertain your suitability for orthodontic treatment with Invisalign, Smile Solutions offers a free Invisalign consultation. At this appointment we will assess your suitability for Invisalign and determine what treatment is best for your individual case. You will receive a comprehensive quote and treatment plan and you’ll even get to see a projection of what your smile will look like at the end.
Specialist orthodontists have three to four years of additional education and training in the specific field of orthodontics, which qualifies them for registration with the Dental Board of Australia as a specialist. Seeing a specialist orthodontist means you receive specialist care by a highly trained expert.
The time taken to complete treatment depends on the complexity of your orthodontic needs, but the average is 12 to 18 months.
After a consultation with one of our specialist orthodontists, you will receive a full treatment outline. This will give you an approximate timeframe, including the time required for any general dental work in preparation for your Invisalign treatment.
Some people may experience minor discomfort at the beginning of each new stage of treatment, when a new aligner is inserted. Patients typically describe this as a feeling of pressure. Feeling discomfort during any orthodontic treatment is a good sign as it indicates that your teeth are moving into their new positions. The discomfort typically dissipates after a couple of days as the wearer becomes accustomed to the new aligners. Over-the-counter pain management can also help, if required.
