Clear Aligners
Aligners help you achieve the straighter smile you’ve been wishing for without the inconvenience of conventional braces
If you want to straighten you smile with a removable and virtually invisible orthodontic treatment we have the perfect solution – our inhouse clear aligners!
Aligner treatment consists of a series of removable clear aligners. These aligners are made specially to suit the unique shape and needs of your mouth. The aligners help transform your smile without significant impact on your lifestyle.
How do clear aligners work?
Why choose aligners over conventional braces?
Unlike conventional braces, aligners are nearly invisible, so many people will never even realise you are wearing your aligner.
The other benefit of our aligner treatment is comfort. Because each aligner is custom made to specifically suit your mouth’s exact shape and needs, the our aligner program can be much more comfortable than conventional braces. They’re also ideal for people who may suffer from any metal allergies.
How long does the Aligner program take?
Your treatment time will depend on your individual needs. Your Wahroonga Family Dental practitioner will be able to provide you with an accurate overview of your program once your unique needs have been identified and will manage your treatment for the duration of the program.
The benefits of Aligners
Removable
Take your aligner out to eat, so you don’t need to worry about breaking a wire or bracket. It can also be removed when you want your teeth to be “free”, such as for special occasions and photographs.
Invisible
Most people will never even know you’re wearing your aligners, so you can go about your day without your orthodontic treatment interrupting your smile.
No metal or wires
Aligners could be the perfect choice if you have a metal allergy. You’ll also never need to worry if you have food stuck in your braces after eating.
Made just for you
Your aligner is made just for you from a 3D model of your mouth. This ensures it will fit your mouth perfectly, making your treatment more comfortable.
Hygienic
Because your orthodontic aligner is removable, you can thoroughly clean it before replacing, making it a highly hygienic treatment.
Brands of aligners vs our in-house aligners
Greater clinician control
The treating dentist is the one who designs your smile, rather than a remote dental technician. This means your treatment is much better customised to your needs.
Faster turnaround
As we don’t need to wait on a 3rd party laboratory to design your smile, we can forward you your treatment plan very quickly.
Reduced Cost
Manufacture of aligners in-house reduces the cost of your treatment
Rapid lost or broken aligner replacement
Because the aligners are made in-house, if you lose or break an aligner, a replacement can be supplied to your within 24 hours of your notifying us, leading to minimal disruption to your orthodontic treatment.
More environmentally friendly
Aligners are manufactured as you need them, reducing plastic waste in the environment. With standard aligner treatment from the major manufacturers, they will manufacture 6 months of aligners at a time. Should you need new aligners because of teeth not tracking, unworn aligners become plastic waste in the environment that haven’t served a clinical purpose. As we only manufacture aligners as they are needed, there is less plastic waste.
