What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are see-through plastic trays, which are custom fit to your teeth.

By wearing these removable aligners 23 hours a day (and only taking them out to eat or drink fluids other than water), your smile can be corrected.

The most popular and well-known brand of clear aligners is Invisalign, but there are many other brands that essentially do the same thing.

Each set of aligners is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, shifting them little by little until they reach their ideal position.

Clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth, week after week, into the desired position.

This only works if the aligners are worn as directed (all day, every day, unless you’re eating or drinking) and you regularly see your orthodontist for the aligners to be updated. Each set of aligners is slightly different, moving certain teeth a small amount at a time.

You’ll typically switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks, with each one building on the progress of the last.

Clear aligners aren’t better than braces, they’re just different.

In terms of visibility, and a more subtle way to straighten your smile, clear aligners are superior.

However, for significant bite concerns and comparative affordability, traditional metal braces might be considered superior.

The right choice depends on your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Your orthodontist can help you weigh the pros and cons of each treatment and recommend the option that will deliver the best results for your smile.

Invisalign is a specific brand of clear aligners, so while all Invisalign treatments use clear aligners, not all clear aligners are Invisalign.

Invisalign is the most well-known and widely used brand, but there are many others, including ClearCorrect, Spark, and Angel Align.

Each brand has its own materials, technology, and treatment protocols, but they all follow the same basic principle.

Your orthodontist can recommend the best option based on your budget and orthodontic goals.

Many dentists and orthodontists recommend clear aligners, especially for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or alignment concerns.

These issues aren’t always only about aesthetics, they can also cause difficulties with cleaning, increased risk of decay or gum disease, and even jaw discomfort, so it can be in your best interest to seek corrective measures.

Clear aligners are a popular choice because they’re discreet, removable, and generally more comfortable than traditional braces.

But whether clear aligners are right for you really depends on your specific needs.

For example, if you have a more complex bite issue, your dentist might steer you toward braces for better control.

Clear aligners won’t work for those with severe bite problems, as this will necessitate a more involved intervention like traditional metal braces.

Clear aligners are also less effective if you’re not consistent about wearing them, and the aligners need to be in place for 20–22 hours a day to work.

That said, for many people with mild to moderate alignment issues, clear aligners can be an effective, discreet solution.

The timeline really depends on the complexity of your case.

For most people with mild to moderate alignment issues, clear aligners usually take anywhere from 6 to 18 months to work.

You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, and each set nudges your teeth closer to their ideal position.

You can see them if you look for them, but most people won’t notice that you’re wearing clear aligners.

The most significant aspect of wearing clear aligners is the mouth feel, which can take some getting used to.

This is by far the least visible option for straightening your smile, and in general, people won’t realise you’re wearing an aligner unless you tell them.

Clear aligner costs can vary depending on where you live, the complexity of your treatment, and the brand you choose.

On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000 in most parts of Australia.

Some simpler cases might be on the lower end, while more complex treatments will naturally cost more.

What’s included can also vary, and it’s worth checking whether check-ups, retainers, or any follow-up care form part of the total quote.

As a young orthodontic patient, Dr Savran saw himself being in the clinician’s chair one day. Fast forward many, many years of study, he is now a qualified Specialist Orthodontist from the University of Sydney. With numerous qualifications under his belt, he has a keen interest in both paediatric and adult sleep apnea, focusing his philosophy like all orthodontists on the patient as a whole instead of just straight teeth.

Despite being ashamed of his extensive happy sock collection, he strives to bring out the confidence and personalities of his patients as his orthodontist did many years ago. When he is not in the clinic, he is most likely embracing his inner (and former) athletic self, playing any sport, particularly soccer and tennis. Otherwise, he is a self-professed coffee connoisseur and happy to recommend a good café, provided you promise to brush those teeth afterwards!
