Clear aligners in Narre Warren
Do you desire a straighter smile without metal braces? Your dedicated Narre Warren dental team at Melbourne Dental Vision understands, and we offer clear aligners, an alternative to metal brackets and wires.
Clear aligners work well for many older teens and adults of any age who want to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. Our Narre Warren dentists will evaluate your needs to determine if you are an appropriate candidate.
Understanding Clear Aligners
Clear aligner treatment involves a series of clear, removable plastic aligners custom crafted to fit over your teeth. The aligners are customised to gently and effectively perfect misalignments and shift your teeth into their ideal positions.
Achieving a straighter smile at any age is possible with Invisalign. If you are an older teen, adult or even a senior who qualifies, there is no upper age limit to achieving a straighter smile.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Numerous clear aligner benefits make them an ideal treatment option for many people:
- Discreet — Clear and virtually invisible, Invisalign allows for subtle teeth straightening without everyone noticing.
- Comfortable — Crafted to fit your teeth snugly, there are no sharp edges or metal brackets to cause discomfort.
- Convenient — Simply remove your aligners to enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine.
- Supports oral health — Straight teeth are easier to clean, and consistent excellent oral hygiene minimises your risk of cavities and gum issues.
- No age limit — Because teeth can be moved throughout our lives, patients in their 60s, 70s and even 80s can attain a straighter smile with Invisalign.
What Problems Do Clear Aligners Correct?
Clear aligners are a solution for many dental misalignment issues, including:
- Gapped teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Open bites
- Crossbites
- Slightly turned teeth
Traditional braces may be more effective for complex bite or alignment issues, and our experienced Narre Warren dentists at Melbourne Dental Vision will guide you in making the best choice for your unique needs.
The Process for Getting Clear Aligners
Clear aligner treatment starts with advanced 3D imaging technology. This helps our Narre Warren dentists map out a precise, customised plan for treatment and allow you to preview your new smile.
When we receive your custom sets of clear aligners, you will return to our clinic, and we will advise you to wear each set for at least 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As weeks pass, you'll transition to the next set of aligners in the series, with each bringing you closer to your final smile.
Regular check-ins with our dentists every 6–8 weeks will ensure treatment is progressing as planned. On average, clear aligner treatment takes 12-18 months but may be shorter or longer depending on individual needs.
