What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign System is an almost invisible and hygienic orthodontic treatment that uses an innovative approach to effectively straighten teeth. With SmartForce Technology, the Invisalign System uses a series of custom-made removable aligners created for you specifically.
Is Invisalign really invisible?
These aligners are made of a virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth to gradually move them to the ideal position. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, allowing you to keep your lifestyle almost unchanged during treatment. They are a great alternative for some patients who don’t want the inconvenience of traditional braces.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
– Invisalign is virtually invisible – The aligners are made of clear plastic. This means no one will know your undergoing orthodontic treatment. That is, unless you tell them!
– They are removable – You can eat and drink what you want while undergoing treatment. Being removable, this makes brushing and flossing no problem. Your oral health should remain the same, if not improve. You will become more conscious of your oral health and keeping your pearly whites, white!
– The aligners are comfortable – They don’t contain any metal. This means no wires digging in, collecting food particles or creating ulcers.
– Less time at the orthodontist – No metal and wires usually mean you spend less time at your orthodontist’s office getting adjustments.
– View your treatment from start to finish – Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start. This means you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete through state-of-the-art technology.

By using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth. By changing your aligner every 2 weeks, your teeth will move—little by little —until they have moved to the final desired position.
Comfortable to wear, the aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual. A full treatment usually includes 18-36 aligners, lasting approximately 9-18 months. They are expected to be worn for a minimum of 21 hours a day. This will ensure your teeth move until they have reached their desired position – pre-determined by your dentist at DentaGlow.
The DentaGlow team in Brisbane will scan your teeth and make impressions. These impressions ensure the aligners fit seamlessly into your smile. These scans will be sent to the Invisalign headquarters. Specialists at the Invisalign headquarters will formulate a plan for your journey to a straighter alignment. Your aligners will be created promptly, up to two weeks!
