Invisalign® “No Braces”

The full range of Invisalign® Clear Braces in Toorak

Malocclusion (sometimes referred to as bad bite), refers to poor contact between the teeth as they bite together. Crooked teeth are one cause of this condition and treatment can have both aesthetic and functional benefits, including reduced wear of the teeth as well as prevention of jaw pain and headache.

Orthodontic braces have long been the accepted treatment for teeth straightening, (and are still the preferred option for most complex cases); however, Invisalign® is a very popular alternative.

What is Invisalign®?

 

Invisalign® is a system of clear, removable aligners individually customised for your teeth. Invisalign® patients benefit from a week-by-week adjustment of their aligners, giving you more comfort as changes in teeth position occur gradually. As the aligners can be removed at any time, you can still enjoy your favourite foods and easily keep on top of your dental hygiene.

You will also receive a defined and clear treatment plan that shows you the gradual movements of your teeth during treatment including a virtual 3D animation of how your teeth will look after treatment by our Invisalign® dentists. The virtual 3D animation is part of a system called ClinCheck, which allows you to discuss your preferences with your dentist and request any minor changes to the alignment and position of your teeth.

The Invisalign® aligners are clear and discreet so almost no one will notice that you are having a cosmetic dental procedure. They really are almost invisible braces!

At K1 Dental, we offer orthodontic braces, as well as the full range of Invisalign® options:

Invisalign® i7. Designed to treat minor crowding of teeth, orthodontic relapse (where previously treated teeth have partially migrated back to their original position), and for aesthetic improvements, however doesn’t treat back teeth.

Invisalign® Lite. Treats all teeth, for cases of mild to moderate complexity, with shorter duration than Invisalign Full.

Invisalign® Full. For treatment of bad bite in more complex cases, or long-term treatment (of 12 to 24-months duration).

Invisalign® Teen. Created especially for teenagers, with blue indicators that fade to clear (when it’s time to change the Aligners), modified design to fit around canines, second premolars, and second and third molars.

Vivera Retainers. Help maintain the position of treated teeth, prevent movement of the teeth towards their original positions.

1. Set a reminder on your phone so you remember to change your aligners on time - or better yet, download the new Invisalign App where you can track your hours of wear and when to change them as well as take photos so you can track your progress.

2. The first few hours after you've changed your aligner are usually the most uncomfortable - overcome this by changing them just before you go to bed and take some pain relief beforehand. Wake up to your new smile!

3. Chewies! At your initial insert appointment we will give you some chewies to help seat your aligners - the more you use them the faster and more accurately your teeth will move - it is best to chew on them for at least ten minutes after seating your aligner each time.

4. By wearing your trays for the full 22 hours each day, you’ll get the cosmetic results you desire - on time and with minimal discomfort!

5. It is important to clean your Invisalign trays every time you brush your teeth. Other than giving them a light brush, you can keep your aligners clean by soaking them in denture or retainer cleaning solution.
