Clear aligners

Clear aligners offer a modern and discreet alternative to traditional braces, helping straighten your teeth using (almost!) invisible, custom-made trays.

At Wynnum Dentists, we’re proud to use Angel Aligners, an advanced system that gives you something to smile about.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position using a series of transparent, removable plastic trays. Each aligner is worn for around 2 weeks before switching to the next in the series, progressively straightening your teeth.

Our step-by-step process

Here’s what you can expect from your clear aligner journey at Wynnum Dentists:

1. Initial consultation

We assess your teeth, bite, x-rays and alignment using digital scans and photos to determine if clear aligners are right for you.

2. Personalised treatment planning

We use 3D software to map your smile transformation and create a custom set of Angel Aligners. You’ll receive a visual simulation of your results before we start.

3. Fitting your aligners

Your first set of aligners will be fitted, and we’ll guide you on how to wear and care for them. Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours a day. You’ll take them out to eat, drink and brush your teeth, but you’ll wear them the rest of the time.

4. Regular check-ins

You’ll progress to a new aligner set every 1-2 weeks and visit us every 6-8 weeks to track your progress.

5. Smile reveal and retention

Once your teeth reach their final position, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile.

A course of clear teeth alignment treatment usually takes 6-18 months, depending on your needs - and how often you wear your aligners!

Clear aligners cost and payment options

The cost of clear aligners varies depending on the complexity of your treatment, but pricing generally starts from $3,000.

Aftercare: Protect your results

After completing your aligner journey, you’ll receive a custom retainer to wear while sleeping to help maintain your teeth in their new position. Continuing to wear your retainer as directed is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting.

We’ll also schedule regular reviews to ensure your smile stays on track. Maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing your retainer nightly, and visiting us every 6 months are key to long-term success.

Why choose dentist-led clear aligners instead of ordering aligners online?

Clear aligners can look similar at first glance, but the treatment process is not always the same. Dentist-led clear aligner treatment includes an assessment of your teeth, bite and oral health, along with professional monitoring as your teeth move.

Online aligners are often promoted as convenient, but they may begin without the same level of in-person examination and ongoing chairside review. For patients who want a discreet orthodontic option with clear clinical guidance throughout treatment, dentist-led aligners can provide a more personalised and closely monitored approach.
