Invisalign in Chatswood – Discreet Teeth Straightening
Here at Boutique Dental Care in Chatswood NSW, we have invested in some of the latest technologies and procedures to give patients the high-quality dentistry they deserve. This is why we provide Invisalign™ for Chatswood patients looking to correct their smile.
Unlike traditional wire and bracket braces which are permanently fixed to the outside of the teeth throughout your orthodontic treatment, Invisalign™ treatment uses a series of removable clear aligners which gradually and sequentially move the teeth back into alignment.
What is Involved in Invisalign™ Treatment?
Digital scans and x-rays of your teeth and gums will be taken and used to design your custom-made Invisalign™ aligners. The 3D treatment plan also enables our Sydney dentist to show you on the screen what your new smile will look like – before even starting your Invisalign™ treatment.
Provided you are happy, your prescription is sent to the Invisalign laboratory to create your bespoke clear aligners. The cost of Invisalign™ treatment varies from one patient to another and depends on the complexity of your condition and how many aligners are needed.
What Conditions Does Invisalign™ Treatment Correct?
Invisalign™ treatment is commonly used to correct mild to moderate dental issues such as:
- Crowding Crooked teeth
- Gaps between the teeth
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Overbite
- Underbite
Clear aligners are worn over the teeth in a similar way to a mouthguard and since there are no visible wires or brackets, they are often the preferred choice of teens and adults in Chatswood NSW wanting to straighten their smiles discreetly.
One of the main benefits of Invisalign™ treatment is that they are almost invisible. Other benefits include the fact that aligners are removed for eating and for brushing and flossing the teeth. Not only does this mean no dietary restrictions but it also enables patients to maintain a good level of oral hygiene. As there are no wires fixed to teeth it is much easier to eat and brush the teeth.

Before & After Invisalign
FAQs
How does Invisalign™ work?
Each set of aligners is designed to perform a particular tooth movement. This generally occurs within a two-week period, after which the aligners are discarded and replaced with the next set. By the time you have worn all of your aligners, your teeth should have reached their desired alignment and you will have a beautiful straight smile.
How long do I need to wear my clear aligners?
Our Chatswood NSW dentist recommends that you wear your aligners for at least 20 hours a day. Not doing so could cause your treatment to take longer or even fail. You only need to see your dentist every 6-8 weeks.
Will I need to wear a retainer after my Invisalign™ treatment?
Yes, you will. Our Sydney dentist, Dr Quah-Shepherd, will discuss the finer details during your treatment.
