At Aspendale Gardens Dental Care, we offer Invisalign and Angel Aligner in a calm and supportive environment where you can learn about how it works and see whether it feels right for you.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made trays that sit over your teeth. These trays are designed to be worn for most of the day and night and are changed regularly til completion of treatment. Most people find the easy to tolerate and discreet, which may support day-to-day comfort and flexibility.

Your Step-by-Step Invisalign Process

 At Aspendale Gardens Dental Care, your treatment typically involves the following steps:

  • Digital Scanning
    We take a digital scan of your teeth, which forms the basis for creating your personalised aligners.
  • Wearing Your Aligners
    Each set is generally worn for 1–2 weeks, for about 20–22 hours per day.
  • Gradual Alignment
    Your teeth move gently over time. Treatment duration varies but often ranges between 6–18 months, depending on individual needs.
  • Regular Check-Ins
    Your progress is reviewed during scheduled appointments with Dr Deepa Iyer (Dee), who leads our clinical team, together with the support of our dental staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

During treatment, you will receive a series of clear aligners. Each aligner is designed to make small, gradual adjustments to the position of your teeth. Our dental team monitors your progress at each stage and makes any needed adjustments to keep your treatment on track.

When the aligners are worn as directed, they gently guide the teeth from their current position toward the planned alignment. New aligners are usually supplied every one to two weeks, depending on your individual treatment plan.

Treatment duration varies from person to person. Factors such as the type and extent of tooth movement required, and your oral health will influence the timeline. After a thorough assessment, we will discuss an estimated treatment length. Many adults complete their treatment in approximately 12–15 months.  For teenagers, the timeframe can also differ. Aligners tend to work most effectively when worn for the recommended 20–22 hours per day.

One benefit of clear aligners is that you can remove them while eating. This allows you to continue enjoying a wide range of foods. Removing the aligners during meals also helps prevent damage from hard, sticky, or chewy foods. It’s normal to feel some pressure when switching to a new set of aligners.  It’s important to brush your teeth after eating and before putting the aligners back in.
