Invisalign Aspendale Gardens

If you are considering having your teeth straightened, you may have come across Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments, including Angel Aligners. These systems use a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth according to an individual treatment plan.

At Aspendale Gardens Dental Care, your dentist can assess your teeth, gums and bite and discuss whether clear aligner treatment is appropriate for you. The consultation is also an opportunity to ask questions about the treatment process, expected timeframe, and ongoing care. Located at Aspendale Gardens Shopping Centre, the practice provides dental care for patients in Aspendale Gardens and surrounding suburbs.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of clear aligner treatment used to gradually move teeth. Instead of fixed brackets and wires, a series of transparent, removable aligners are worn over the teeth.

Each aligner is designed to make planned adjustments to tooth position. You progress through the series according to your dentist’s treatment plan.

The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. They need to be worn for the amount of time recommended by your dentist.

Clear aligners are not suitable for every orthodontic concern. Whether Invisalign is appropriate depends on factors including the position of your teeth, your bite and your oral health.

Angel Aligners are another clear aligner option that may be considered for suitable orthodontic concerns. Your dentist can explain the available systems and assess which approach may be appropriate for your teeth, bite and oral health.

Signs You May Want to Discuss Invisalign

You may wish to speak with your dentist if you have:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Teeth that have shifted since previous orthodontic treatment
  • Concerns about tooth alignment or position
  • Difficulty cleaning certain areas because of crowded teeth
  • Changes in the way your upper and lower teeth meet
  • Questions about whether clear aligners may be suitable for you

These concerns do not necessarily mean Invisalign is required. Your dentist can assess your individual situation and discuss the available options.

What Happens During Invisalign Treatment?
  1. Consultation: You can discuss your concerns and what you would like to address.
  2. Examination: Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums and bite and consider your general oral health.
  3. Treatment planning: If clear aligners are appropriate, your dentist will discuss the proposed treatment. Digital scans may be taken to assist with planning.
  4. Treatment: You will receive a series of aligners to wear according to your treatment plan. Aspendale Gardens Dental Care advises wearing aligners for approximately 20–22 hours a day, removing them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning. Angel Aligners may also be discussed as an option, depending on your individual orthodontic needs.
  5. Follow-up: Regular appointments allow your dentist to monitor your progress and make changes to the treatment plan if needed.

Adjusting to Invisalign and Aftercare

Invisalign does not generally require a recovery period. Some people notice pressure or tenderness when starting a new set of aligners. If you experience significant or persistent discomfort, contact your dental practice.

Continue brushing and flossing regularly and clean your aligners according to the instructions provided. If you lose or damage an aligner, contact your dentist rather than moving to the next one without advice.
