Clear Aligners
If you do not want to wear traditional metal braces, Alexandra Hills Dental is offering you a new solution. We can provide you with a more discreet way to straighten your teeth.
Advantages of Clear Aligners over Traditional Braces
One of the most common reasons people choose a set of aligners over traditional braces is that they are virtually invisible. They are also easier to maintain than metal braces or ceramic braces; they are removable!
Aligners are quickly becoming a popular option in Australia, but sometimes it may not be a viable option for your situation. Aligners move teeth in a different way than braces so our qualified dentist can discuss which option will give you the best (and fastest) results!
Which Alignment Issues Do Clear Aligners Suit?
Not every smile needs the same approach, which is why our dentist reviews your teeth and bite before recommending clear aligners over other options. Aligners tend to work well for patients dealing with:
More complex cases, including significant misalignment or jaw discrepancies, may respond better to traditional braces or a different treatment path altogether. Rather than fitting you into a one-size-fits-all solution, we assess your teeth, discuss your goals and explain honestly whether aligners will give you the outcome you are after. If they are not suitable, we will talk you through alternative teeth straightening options so you still walk away with a clear plan, not just a sales pitch.
What To Expect With Clear Aligners
Depending on your individual case, your treatment can take between 1-2 years. During this time, you will have appointments with Dr Webert every 4-8 weeks. Your aligners are to be worn for 22 hours a day (only take them out when eating or drinking), and changed every 2 weeks.
Small “attachments” will be glued to your teeth throughout the treatment period. These are small, tooth-coloured bumps that will help the aligners push your teeth into the desired position.
Take Our Smile Assessment
We want to make sure that Clear Aligners are the right solution for you. If you make an appointment with us, we can help you choose this option if we believe it will provide you with the results you need. We can also help you find an alternative solution if you decide this is not the right straightening treatment for you.
Making Orthodontic Treatment Affordable
Cost is often the first question patients ask about straightening their teeth, so we like to address it early and honestly. Alexandra Hills Dental offers several ways to help manage the cost of orthodontic care without cutting corners on treatment quality:
We are also mindful that some patients feel anxious about dental costs as much as the treatment itself. Our team takes a calm, judgement-free approach to these conversations, walking you through pricing clearly before any treatment begins. Whether clear aligners, traditional braces or another straightening option suits you best, we will help you understand your payment choices during your consultation, so cost never has to be a barrier to a healthier smile.
