What is Invisalign?
Invisalign, often called invisible braces, is a series of thermoplastic aligners that gradually move your teeth to straighten them. Unlike conventional braces, these Invisalign aligners are very difficult to see. For this reason, they are often the first choice for adult patients. Read More
Advantages of Invisalign include:
There are many reasons that you may opt to correct your teeth and get a winning smile with Invisalign. This gentle orthodontic treatment comes with several distinct benefits:
- Difficult to see so people don’t notice you’re wearing them
- Removable so it’s much easier to keep your teeth clean
- Lower maintenance
- Requiring fewer trips to the dentist/ orthodontist
- More comfortable than traditional braces
- Less likely to develop unsightly “white spot lesions” on teeth
- Does not limit your diet as you can eat whatever you like without worrying about a bracket or wire breaking
Invisalign Treatment Process
At McMahons Point Dental, Invisalign North Sydney process begins by taking photos and impressions of your teeth. Dr Toulmin then sends these photos off to Invisalign in the US, where computers are used to design a treatment especially for you. You can view an animation of your anticipated tooth movement before proceeding with the course of treatment.
Invisalign then fabricates the aligners, sends them back to us and you are ready to go! We’ll show you how to wear them and keep them clean. All you need to do is return to the office every six weeks for a review and to receive your next set of aligners, saving you time and effort.
The cost of Invisalign is comparable to the cost of traditional orthodontics and your health fund may offer a rebate for part of the treatment. There is some complicated misalignment of teeth that cannot be treated by Invisalign, so we provide traditional orthodontic braces with Dr. Edwina, an experienced Invisalign dentist next to North Sydney.

How North Sydney Invisalign Use is the Best Solution
Invisalign can be used to correct many types of mouth problems, some of them quite complex, that include:
- teeth that are too close together or not straight
- gaps between teeth
- incorrect biting, where the upper teeth bite inside or in front of the lower teeth, or overlap the bottom teeth too much.
Unlike braces, Invisalign doesn’t need wires and brackets to hold it in place and correct teeth misalignment. Instead, each aligner is custom made to fit perfectly in your mouth without any discomfort or inconvenience. As a North Sydney’s Invisalign specialist, We’llonly fit Invisalign after an initial free consultation where we’ll assess your teeth and your suitability for this type of treatment. After carefully and accurately measuring your mouth, we’ll have produced a number of aligners that will progressively correct the appearance of your teeth.
Each aligner must be worn for about two weeks and then replaced with the next one, which will have a slightly different size and shape. The aim is to gradually and progressively change the alignment of your teeth so that eventually you achieve the smile and appearance you want. You will, as the weeks go past, see a gradual improvement and ultimately the required result.
How North Sydney’s Invisalign Specialist Helps Achieving Success
Using Invisalign will require a certain degree of discipline on your part and we will assess your suitability at the initial consultation. Failing to adhere to the process properly doesn’t mean the procedure won’t work but it does mean it will take longer and may not be as successful as it could be.
You will be provided with several aligners and will change to the next one in series at a specified time (generally one to two weeks). The different aligners will advance the process gradually since moving your teeth too quickly can destabilise them. You must remove the aligner when eating or drinking anything hot because heat can distort it and spoil the adjustment process. However, that does mean you can eat and drink normally and therefore enjoy everything more. It also means the aligner won’t become clogged with food residue.
Invisalign has to be worn for 20-22 hours each day, allowing you to eat and drink at other times and to clean the aligner, which can be done with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste or with cleaning tablets. Oral hygiene is important and that includes keeping the aligner clean. As a North Sydney’s Invisalign specialists, We’ll check your progress every 6-8 weeks and issue new aligners for the next phase at the same time. And, at the successful completion of the process, we’ll fit unobtrusive retainers that ensure your teeth don’t shift from their new position.
