Does Invisalign work?

Your questions answered

Okay, so you’ve seen the advertising on a bus, or maybe your friend has an Insta-worthy smile, and now you’re curious. You’d love to get that smile you’ve always wanted, but what’s the best way and does Invisalign really work?

At Specialty Orthodontics, we love an enquiring mind and under the guidance of Dr Sarah Dan, our entire team is here to answer your questions.

Let’s start with the basics about Invisalign.

In short, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment consisting of a series of clear plastic, custom made, removable aligners. Each aligner is worn 22/24 hours a day and replaced weekly moving your teeth gradually into place. Little by little, week by week changes occur until teeth have straightened to the final position – let’s call it the grand smile design – you and Dr Sarah have agreed on.

How do I get started with Invisalign?

Through an initial consultation, Dr Sarah will determine if Invisalign is a suitable treatment pathway for you. If it is, we map out an Invisalign treatment plan. You can relax knowing we’ll have taken everything into consideration, like your work, lifestyle, and the way you want your smile to look.

After this, the next steps are simple. We take a scan of your teeth and send these to the Invisalign laboratories. Finally, Dr Sarah steps in to create your bespoke Invisalign treatment plan.

Your aligners – the clear plastic appliances used to straighten your teeth – are fabricated especially for you. At your follow up appointment, we fit buttons on your teeth (these help hold the aligners in place), then the aligners, all while walking you through everything you need to know to keep your teeth healthy as we create your best smile.

What’s great about Invisalign?

Invisible means more aesthetically appealing. Unless someone is really looking out for them, no one will notice you’re wearing Invisalign’s clear aligners. A big plus for those self-conscious about their treatment.

Because there are no metal brackets or wires to irritate cheeks and gums, it is much easier to get used to Invisalign ‘braces’.

Big bonus. Well before treatment is finished, you will start to see and enjoy the benefits of a better looking smile.

Incredibly convenient, your aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, flossing and special occasions. Smile on!

Invisalign FAQ

Like all technology, Invisalign is only as effective as the practitioner who is working with it. Having treated literally hundreds of patients with Invisalign, Dr Sarah knows this technology like few others. Add to this Dr Sarah’s three years of specialist studies to become an orthodontist, her deep understanding of treatments to correct orthodontic issues, and her meticulous attention to detail – and you have a winning combination on your hands. Talk to us about what else is different about Invisalign treatment by an orthodontist when you come in for your consult.

Your Invisalign treatment will be designed especially for you. Together with Dr Sarah, you’ll create the exact smile design you’re after whether it’s correction of a longstanding bite or jaw issue or straightening your front teeth for that big event.

We totally understand that finances come into the decision to invest in a smile transformation., That’s why we offer finance options such as low deposits and interest free payment plans to help you manage within your own budget. Talk to us about the ways to make Invisalign affordable when you come in for your consult.

Like many of the advances in technology, Invisalign is designed to be totally wearable. Because tooth movements are gradual, you should experience only minor discomfort for a day or two at most after commencing a new aligner. Our team is always here to help with any questions if you are ever concerned about any discomfort from treatment.

Invisalign has treatment options for children as young as 7 to teens, making it possible for them to enjoy life without the restrictions, irritation, and self-consciousness associated with the metal brackets and wires of conventional braces. The assessment and fitting process is identical to that used for adult Invisalign patients. While Invisalign has the potential to be as effective for teenagers as conventional braces, some parents may be concerned their child may not wear the aligners as prescribed. To address this, Invisalign Teen aligners have a wear indicator that fades from blue to clear over time, helping Dr Sarah, parents and patients gauge wear time.

What our patients say

Can not recommend enough. My 11yr old daughter started with another orthodontist before we found Sarah and I’m so glad she was recommend to us. What a game changer! I can honestly say her team is outstanding. They all really made her feel so comfortable and confident about her orthodontic plan. Now she looks forward to her visits and as a mother, thats all I could wish for. Smooth sailing all the way.

What a great experience I had with Dr Dan and the Specialty Orthodontics team! I guess I was somewhat of a ‘mature age patient’, starting a round of braces at age 35. Dr Dan and her team explained everything about the treatment and answered any questions I had. The whole process took around 14 months which was quicker than expected. Dr Dan was receptive to my input with adjustments and polishing etc as we approached the end of my treatment – which I very much appreciated. Dr Dan’s oral health team also put in a significant amount of work throughout my treatment, they are all amazing at what they do. I had to bring my 6 month old son in a few times while I received adjustments and they were all very helpful, keeping him happy and smiling. Thanks to you all for helping out an old man, who now smiles a whole lot better!

My 8 year old daughter attended Specialty Orthodontics yesterday for her very first appointment. From the moment we were greeted and during the appointment all the staff were lovely. My daughter was at complete ease during the whole process. I was very impressed. We look forward to continuing our orthodontic journey at Specialty Orthodontics.

A very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere to keep nervous children calm. The staff are very warm, friendly and engaging. I highly recommend this place. I just wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you for looking after my son so well. 🤗 …
