Invisalign in Melbourne
Invisalign is a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gently shifts your teeth into their ideal position, offering a comfortable and nearly invisible solution for a straighter smile.
What this treatment can do for you
It can help you:
- Reduce crowding where teeth overlap
- Close small gaps
- Improve how your top and bottom teeth meet
Three key benefits
1) You can remove them for meals and brushing
Take your aligners out to eat.
Brush and floss normally.
Put them back in when you are done.
2) You see the plan before you start
We assess your teeth and gums, then take a digital scan.
If Invisalign is suitable, we map the movement in stages so you know what is being corrected.
3) Clear aligners that fit your day to day life
The aligners are clear and sit closely over your teeth.
Most people will not notice them in normal conversation.
How Invisalign works
- Invisalign uses a series of aligners made for your teeth.
- You wear one set, then switch to the next set on schedule.
- Each new aligner applies gentle pressure to move teeth toward the planned position.
Potential Risks And Side Effects Of Invisalign
Invisalign is a safe and effective treatment for straightening teeth, but it’s important to understand potential risks and side effects.
Common Side Effects
During the initial stages, mild discomfort or pressure is common as your teeth begin to shift, but this typically subsides within a few days. Some individuals may experience temporary speech changes, increased salivation, or dry mouth while adjusting to the aligners.
Rare Complications
Although uncommon, Invisalign can sometimes cause gum irritation, aligner fit issues, or minor enamel wear. Allergic reactions to the aligner material are rare but possible. If you experience prolonged discomfort or any unusual symptoms, consult your dentist promptly. Regular follow-ups and proper care will help ensure a smooth and successful treatment experience.
