How Invisalign Works at Radiant Smiles

Complimentary consultation and smile assessment: We examine your teeth, gums and bite, take photos, and discuss your goals.
Digital 3D scan and planning: Using advanced scanning technology, we map your treatment plan and show a simulation of your future smile.
Custom aligner production: Your aligners are created to gradually and gently move your teeth.
Fitting and instructions: We fit your first aligners and explain how to wear, remove and care for them.
Regular check-ins: We review your progress every 6 to 8 weeks and provide your next sets of aligners.
Retention phase: Once active treatment ends, we provide retainers to keep your teeth stable long term.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?

You may be a good candidate for Invisalign if you have:

Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
Mild overbite, underbite or crossbite
Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
A preference for a discreet, removable option

For very complex cases or severe bite issues, other orthodontic solutions may be more suitable. Our dentists will always carry out a full assessment and explain the best options for your smile.

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours per day
Change to the next set every 1 to 2 weeks (as directed)
Some mild pressure or discomfort is normal at the start of a new aligner
Aligners should be removed for meals, brushing and flossing
Drinking water is fine while wearing aligners, but other drinks may stain or damage them
Oral hygiene is essential – brush and floss after eating before reinserting aligners

We recommend scheduling routine dental check-ups and cleans during treatment to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.

Caring for Your Aligners

Rinse aligners each time you remove them
Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste
Avoid hot water, which can distort the plastic
Clean weekly with aligner crystals or dentist-approved soaks
Always use your case to store aligners when not in use

Costs and Payment Options

The cost of Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case and number of aligners required. As a guide, Invisalign treatment in Australia ranges from $3,500 to $9,000.

At Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora, we make Invisalign more affordable with:

Interest-free payment plans (weekly, fortnightly or monthly)
Rebates through private health insurance (if orthodontic treatment is included)
Upfront cost estimates before treatment begins

If you are comparing treatments, we also provide options like dental veneers or crowns and bridges for cosmetic and functional improvements.

Aftercare and Retention

Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, retainers are essential to keep your teeth in their new position. We provide custom retainers and a personalised retention plan so you can enjoy your new smile for years to come. Regular check-ups at our clinic ensure your results are maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Why Should I Straighten My Teeth?

Aligning your teeth better can ease strain across your smile, making them work more smoothly. This can help reduce the chances of TMJ pain or disorder. When your teeth are properly aligned, there’s also less risk of gum disease or decay forming in between them.

Having straighter teeth also boosts how your smile looks. If your teeth are mostly healthy but you have some crowding or gaps, considering treatments like Invisalign at Radiant Smiles in Bundoora can help enhance your smile without needing extra dental procedures.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You may feel slight pressure when starting a new aligner. This usually settles within a couple of days and is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

How long does Invisalign take?

Treatment time varies. Some patients see changes in as little as 6 months, but most cases take between 12 and 18 months.

Can I eat with my aligners in?

No. Aligners must be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water.

What if I lose or break an aligner?

Contact us straight away. We may advise you to wear the previous set or move to the next, depending on your stage of treatment. Our emergency dentistry team is also here to help if required.

Do I need retainers after Invisalign?

Yes. Retainers are crucial to prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?

Yes, in many cases. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients.
