Clear aligners are a removable, invisible alternative to braces for certain types of treatment. Especially for mild crowding and minor bite issues. The treatment consists of a series of near invisible, custom made, removable aligners that are changed roughly every two weeks.

 

As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move incrementally as the treatment proceeds until they have been straightened and in their final positions.

 

We make your aligners in our own Dental Laboratory in Brisbane. This saves time, reduces costs, and therefore, we can offer treatments for a competitive price.

 

During the process of treatment, the aligners must be worn as much as possible and removed only for eating and oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing teeth.

 

Benefits of Having Aligners:

 

• They can be removed to eat, drink, brush and floss, or for special occasions.

• They are comfortable and less likely to irritate the soft tissues of your mouth.

• You do not have to be as careful with what you eat as compared to patients that undergo braces treatment as there are no wires or brackets.

• They are not as noticeable as braces.

​

Downside of Having Aligners:

• Nothing is magic, if you forget them, then they will not work.

• They are not a suitable treatment option for every malocclusion and crowding case.

After an initial Consult, Dr. Christoph Bottoni will advise you if you are a suitable candidate for clear aligner treatment.
