Why Choose Invisalign?

Clear and discreet - aligners are made from clear material and are less visually prominent than traditional braces
Removable - aligners can be removed for meals, brushing and flossing
Comfortable - Invisalign trays do not use the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces
Predictable results - digital scans can be used to show a simulation of the proposed tooth movements before treatment starts
Suitable for many cases - Invisalign may be used for certain crowding, spacing and bite concerns following assessment

How Invisalign Works at Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora

Complimentary consultation and smile assessment: We examine your teeth, gums and bite, take photos, and discuss your goals.
Digital 3D scan and planning: Using digital scanning technology, we map the proposed tooth movements and show a simulation of the treatment plan.
Custom aligner production: Your aligners are created to apply controlled forces that gradually move your teeth according to the treatment plan.
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, retainers are provided to help maintain the position of your teeth.

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 more significant bite concerns, other orthodontic options may be more appropriate. Our dentists will carry out an assessment and discuss the treatment options that may be suitable for your individual needs.

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 maintaining routine dental check-ups and cleans during Invisalign treatment so your dentist can monitor the health of your teeth and gums.

Caring for Your Clear 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

Invisalign 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, payment options for Invisalign treatment include:

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

*Interest-free payment plans are subject to eligibility and applicable provider terms and conditions.

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 generally required to help maintain the position of your teeth. We provide custom retainers and a personalised retention plan based on your treatment needs. Regular dental check-ups also allow your dentist to monitor your teeth, gums and retention over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Why Should I Straighten My Teeth?

Straighter teeth can make some areas easier to brush and floss, particularly where crowding makes cleaning difficult. Orthodontic treatment can also be used to manage certain bite and alignment concerns.

If your teeth are otherwise healthy but you have crowding, spacing or bite concerns, Invisalign may be one treatment option to discuss with your dentist. Whether treatment is appropriate will depend on an assessment of your teeth, gums and bite.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You may feel pressure or discomfort when starting a new aligner. This commonly occurs as the aligner applies force to move the teeth and can vary from person to person.

How long does Invisalign take?

Treatment time varies depending on the type and complexity of tooth movement required, how the teeth respond to treatment and how consistently the aligners are worn. Your dentist can provide an estimated treatment timeframe after assessing your individual case.

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 generally recommended after Invisalign treatment to help reduce the likelihood of teeth moving from their treated positions. Your dentist will advise you about how often and how long your retainers should be worn.

Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?

Invisalign may be suitable for some teenagers. Suitability depends on factors including dental development, the type of tooth movement required and the patient’s ability to follow the recommended aligner-wear schedule.

Can I get Invisalign if I live outside Bundoora?

Yes, many patients visit our clinic for Invisalign clear aligners and teeth straightening from surrounding suburbs. We regularly see patients from Bundoora, Reservoir, Greensborough, Watsonia, Macleod, Rosanna, Mill Park, Thomastown, Lalor and Eltham for Invisalign treatment and clear aligner consultations.
