Invisalign

​What is Invisalign?

​Everyone has anxiety about braces until they discover the miracle of these clear aligners that are a game-changer in orthodontics. This soft and gentle product is a great alternative for those who dread traditional braces, and they are a great alternative for late teenages onward. This is also a great option for those who need assistance with mildly crooked teeth. It's wise to get the opinion of a trusted dentist before making any decision.

Benefits of Invisalign

  1. What is the primary benefit of these clear aligners? The first and perhaps the most important benefit of this unique form of braces is that they are clear. No one will know that you are wearing braces unless you tell them. 
  2. Aligners are removable. Did you know that these clear, soft aligners can be removed in order to eat, drink and brush your teeth? The days of not eating corn and other tasty foods are over when you choose aligners over traditional braces. They also don't need to be tightened which means no headaches or sore mouth.
  3. A smile you're confident about. Last but not least, one of the clear benefits is that you'll be able to smile with confidence. Fearing that others can see crooked teeth will dissipate and you'll be able to smile all the time.

What Alignment Issues Does Invisalign Correct?

The most common reason that braces are recommended is due to crooked teeth. There are several other reasons that one may need braces including:
  • Slight overbite
  • Slight underbite
  • Teeth that are crowded together
  • Open bite-top and bottom teeth do not meet together
  • Small gaps between teeth
These aligners can fix the most common problems for most individuals, but it's important to note that the dental conditions these are best suited for are slight overbites, and slightly crooked teeth. It may also be able to assist when there is a crossbite. The cost is also far less than traditional braces, so it can also be lighter on your pocketbook.

​How Much Do These Aligners Cost in Townsville?

​Although there is a standard cost for the aligners themselves, it's important to keep in mind that each individual is unique. Every individual also must consider that the cost of their dental health will be unique as well. There is no standard of total expense when it comes to knowing how much aligners will cost in total.
We will discuss cost of your case depdnding on how much movement is required & whether we treat one arch or both.

Attachments are optional but depending upon the reason you have them your progress could take longer. Every individual is unique, and each dentist may make a different recommendation.
