Reasons to Choose Clear Aligners
One of the main reasons people consider Invisalign® or other clear aligners near Eltham is their discreet appearance. Invisalign® and other clear aligners are transparent and fit closely over the teeth and are generally less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Invisalign® and other clear aligners may also offer several practical benefits, including:
- Comfort
Invisalign® and other clear aligners are made from smooth plastic, without metal brackets or wires. Many patients find them comfortable to wear, although some temporary pressure or tenderness is normal as the teeth begin to move.
- Fewer Orthodontic Emergencies
Without brackets or wires that can loosen or break, Invisalign® and other clear aligners may involve fewer unexpected orthodontic visits. However, you should still contact your dentist if an aligner becomes damaged, is lost or no longer fits correctly.
- Fewer Food Restrictions
Because the aligners are removed for eating and drinking anything other than water, you can generally continue enjoying your usual foods. It is important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
- Easier Brushing and Flossing
Removable aligners allow you to brush and floss normally, which can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.

The Clear Aligner Process
Your clear aligner treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment at Dentessence. We’ll examine your teeth and bite and take photographs and digital scans to develop a detailed understanding of your orthodontic needs.
Your dentist will then discuss the recommended treatment process, estimated timeframe and costs with you. You’ll also be shown a 3D simulation of the proposed tooth movements, helping you understand the planned stages of treatment. This simulation is a guide only, as individual results and treatment times may vary.
If you decide to proceed, a series of custom-made clear aligners will be created for you through Invisalign® or another clear aligner brand based on your needs. Each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move your teeth towards their planned positions.
You’ll usually change to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, depending on your dentist’s instructions. Regular review appointments at our Diamond Creek clinic allow us to monitor your progress and make any adjustments that may be needed along the way.
The overall treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case and how your teeth respond to treatment. Following your assessment, your dentist will provide a personalised estimate and answer any questions you may have.

Wearing Your Clear Aligners
Clear aligners work best when worn for the number of hours recommended by your dentist each day. Because they are removable, you’ll take them out when eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing or flossing your teeth.
It may take a little time to adjust to wearing aligners, but they soon become part of most patients’ daily routine. Throughout treatment, you’ll change to a new set of aligners at the intervals advised by your dentist. Each set is designed to gradually continue the planned movement of your teeth.
Regular review appointments allow us to monitor your progress, answer your questions and make any adjustments that may be needed along the way.

After Your Clear Aligner Treatment
Completing your clear aligner treatment is an important milestone, but retaining your new tooth positions is an essential part of maintaining your results. Once your active treatment has been completed, your dentist will recommend wearing a retainer to help maintain the position of your teeth. We’ll explain when your retainer should be worn, how to care for it, and what to expect as part of your ongoing oral health care.
Regular dental check-ups also allow us to monitor your teeth, gums and retainers and provide ongoing advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

Your Clear Aligners Questions Answered
Invisalign® and other clear aligner systems use a series of custom-made, thin trays that apply gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move the teeth towards their planned positions.
The aligners are removed when eating, allowing you to continue enjoying most of your usual foods without the restrictions commonly associated with traditional braces. They can also be taken out for brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Invisalign® and other clear aligners are generally for people aged 16 and over. By this age, most people have lost their baby teeth and have their second molars, which may serve as ‘anchor points’ to provide stability and support to the treatment. They are more popular, however, amongst adults who missed out on orthodontic treatment in their teens.
Your dentist will prepare a personalised treatment plan outlining the recommended treatment, expected timeframe and associated costs. The final fee will depend on the complexity of your case and the extent of tooth movement required.
Our clear aligner treatment packages start from $2,400. Moderate cases generally range from $5,500 to $7,500, while more complex treatments are in the range of $8,500.
At Dentessence, you can begin by booking a complimentary Invisalign® consultation to explore whether treatment may be suitable for you. We also offer a range of payment options to help make the cost of treatment more manageable.
The length of treatment varies based on many factors, including the complexity of your case, your age, the condition of your teeth, how frequently the aligners are changed, and so on. Treatment may take three months to two years, based on your goals, teeth, and needs.
We offer various payment options for Invisalign® and other clear aligners at our clinic near Eltham. Please see our Payment Options page for more information or call our clinic for personalised support.
