Invisalign

Invisible, comfortable and effective—a modern solution for a straighter smile

Straighten your teeth, without brackets or wires

At Dental Holistix, we offer Invisalign—the modern, discreet way to align your smile using custom-made, clear aligners. Whether you're looking to fix crowding, close gaps or improve your bite, Invisalign is a powerful alternative to traditional braces—with the comfort, flexibility and confidence you deserve.

Why choose Invisalign treatment

✓ Discreet & clear: No brackets, wires, or metal
✓ Comfortable & removable: Eat, brush and live as normal
✓ Results you can see: Preview your outcome before treatment even begins
✓ Advanced tracking: Monitor your progress digitally
✓ Fewer visits: Stay on track with fewer appointments

We combine Invisalign's advanced technology with personalised, holistic care—for treatment that fits into your life, not the other way around.

Not sure if Invisalign is right for you? That’s what your free consultation is for.


How Invisalign clear aligners work

Your Invisalign journey starts with a precise digital scan of your teeth. We use advanced software to create a virtual model of your new smile—so you can see your future results before treatment even begins.

Once approved, you'll receive a full set of custom clear aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth. You'll wear them full-time, removing only for eating and cleaning. Aligners are swapped every 7-14 days, gently guiding your smile into position.

Plus, track progress from home using the Invisalign mobile app.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign treatment

Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment issues — comfortably and discreetly:

✓ Crowded teeth: when teeth overlap due to lack of space
✓ Gapped teeth: unwanted spacing between teeth
✓ Crossbite: upper teeth sitting inside lower teeth
✓ Open bite: gap between upper and lower teeth when closed
✓ Overbite / deep bite: excessive front teeth overlap
✓ Overjet / flared teeth: upper teeth protruding outward

Treatment timeline

Invisalign treatment typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on your case. Some patients see results in as little as 4 months.

Because the aligners are custom-made and progress is pre-planned, you're always moving forward—with fewer in-person appointments required.

What does Invisalign cost?

Pricing varies depending on your treatment needs. At your consultation, we’ll provide:

✓ A personalised quote based on your case
✓ Information on flexible payment plans
✓ Guidance on health fund rebates if applicable

We’ll walk you through it clearly—no pressure, just honest advice.

FAQs

Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional braces. While new aligners may feel tight for a few days, the gradual movement minimises discomfort.

How long do I need to wear the aligners each day?
Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, only removing them to eat or clean.

Can I eat while wearing Invisalign?
No, aligners should be removed before eating. Simply brush your teeth after meals before reinserting them.

INVISALIGN POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Starting Invisalign treatment is an exciting step toward achieving a beautifully aligned smile. To make the process as smooth and effective as possible, here’s our after care guide for your aligners, maintaining good oral health and managing comfort throughout your journey.

Wearing your Invisalign aligners consistently: For the best results, wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water) and clean your teeth. Consistent wear helps keep your treatment on track. If you accidently leave them out for part of a day, then just wear them for an extra day at the end, before progressing to the next aligner.

Switch aligners on schedule: Follow the instructions from our dentist for when to switch to a new set of aligners. Each set is designed to move your teeth gradually, so keeping to the schedule is key to a successful outcome. The initial pattern will be two weeks per aligner, but will often be reduced to shorter intervals, once the teeth are moving as planned.


Use aligner seaters daily: These are small, soft plastic rolls- sometimes called “chewies”, that are used to help seat the aligners into place over your teeth. When the aligners are adapted perfectly (pushing out any air bubbles between the teeth and the plastic aligners), optimal movement of the teeth can occur. By chewing on these regularly after putting your aligners in, the process will be a lot more efficient. Clean these after use with warm soapy water.

Brush and floss after eating: Ideally brush and floss before reinserting your aligners to avoid trapping food particles, which can cause decay, staining and odour. However, if this is not possible or practical after some meals, aim to at least rinse your mouth with water.

Regular dental check-ups: Regular check-ups are essential during Invisalign treatment to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy. Our dentists will monitor any issues that may arise.

Normal pressure and soreness: Some pressure or mild soreness is common when you start a new set of aligners. This should ease after a day or two as your teeth adjust. If discomfort is more than mild, a cold compress can help reduce soreness. Over-the-counter pain relief, such as paracetamol, or ibuprofen can also help if needed. When moving to a new aligner, try and fit this after dinner and don’t remove it for at least 8 hours until breakfast the next morning.

Orthodontic wax for rough edges: If any areas of the aligners feel rough or cause irritation, you can use orthodontic wax to cover these edges or contact our clinic for advice. 

Eating and drinking: Always remove your aligners before eating to prevent staining, warping, and damage. Eating with the aligners can also trap sugar and acids, increasing the risk of tooth decay. Only drink cold water while wearing your aligners, as hot drinks can warp, or damage them, and acidic or sugary drinks can damage your teeth.

Avoid tobacco products: Smoking can stain your teeth and aligners and will negatively impact your general and oral health.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help wash away food particles and bacteria.

Aligner cleaning and storage: Rinse your aligners after removing them, and clean them gently each day with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid using toothpaste, which can scratch the aligners. Always place your aligners in their protective case when not wearing them to prevent loss or damage.

Practice speaking: Wearing aligners may feel different at first when you speak, but this will resolve quickly with practice. Reading out loud can help you adjust more quickly.

Monitoring progress and visiting our dentist: Regular visits are scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Please ensure you attend your appointments. Virtual monitoring is also used frequently to make sure small changes in how the aligners fit do not progress into larger misfitting issues.

Observe changes: If you notice any problems with aligner fit, or with general tooth and gum health, contact our clinic promptly.

Stay committed for long-term success: At the end of your treatment, you’ll likely be prescribed a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Be sure to follow our instructions for wearing your retainer to maintain your beautiful results.

Retainer replacement: Over time, retainers may wear out. Regularly assess their condition and replace them as recommended by our dentists. Following these post-care instructions will help make your Invisalign journey as smooth and effective as possible. If you experience ongoing discomfort or if you’re concerned about your treatment, don’t hesitate to contact our clinic.
