How Invisalign Aligners Work: Step-by-Step Breakdown

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign aligners is simple and effective. Here’s how the process unfolds at our Brisbane CBD practice:

What Conditions Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign aligners are a versatile option that corrects many common alignment concerns, including:

  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Shifting after braces

Whether your case is mild or more complex, your tailored trays work with precision. Our Brisbane CBD team will evaluate your bite and spacing to create the right plan for you.

Treatment Timeline: What to Expect

Your Invisalign journey begins with a personalised assessment. Depending on the severity of your alignment concerns, treatment can take from six to 24 months. On average, most patients complete their aligner series in 12 to 18 months.

The key to a successful outcome is consistent wear. Your trays should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, only removed for eating, drinking anything besides water, and oral hygiene. Skipping or delaying wear may slow progress and extend treatment.

We also account for refinement stages. These occur toward the end of your plan and involve slight tweaks for a flawless finish. Our team monitors each phase closely to ensure your teeth move as expected. This attention to detail helps deliver predictable results that align with your original goals.

Post-Treatment Care: Keeping Your Smile on Track

Depending on your needs, your treatment at our Brisbane CBD location usually takes 12-18 months. Mild adjustments can finish in just 6 months; more complex cases may take up to 24 months.

For best results, wear your trays for 20-22 hours daily. Remove them only for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene.

Refinements may be needed to fine-tune your results – part of our commitment to delivering confident, lasting outcomes across Queensland.

What Our Patients Say

  • Thanks to Dr. Sally at Excellence in Dentistry I am so pleased with the outcome I received from using their services. In less than a year my smile was transformed using Invisalign & only two porceline vaneers. I’m obsessed with my vaneers and will probably be back for more! I live on the Gold Coast but will happily drive the extra hour just to see Dr. Sally and her amazing team.
    - Madison L
  • Fantastic Invisalign experience and results with Sally and the team at Excellence in Dentistry.

    My wife and I were referred here by a friend a few years ago and we also couldn’t recommend them highly enough + very convenient location to visit on a lunch break if needed.

    - William M
  • Have just finished up my Invisalign with Sally from Excellence in Dentistry and could not be happier with the results and also my experience every time I come into the practice.

    It’s always a pleasure dealing with every member of the team, and even for a person like me who previously disliked going to the dentist I actually enjoy going in for check ups and cleans.

    Big thanks to the whole team!

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Invisalign aligners are suitable for both teenagers and adults. Whether you're looking to correct minor alignment issues or achieve a straighter, more confident smile, this orthodontic system could be the solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Invisalign aligners take?
The average Invisalign treatment takes between 12 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your alignment needs. Minor adjustments can be completed in as little as six months, while more involved corrections may require closer to two years. During your consultation, we provide a personalised timeline so you know what to expect before committing to care.

Do aligners hurt?

The aligners are designed to apply gentle pressure to shift your teeth gradually. Most patients report mild tenderness or tightness when switching to a new set of trays, usually lasting a day or two. This sensation is a good sign that the aligners are working. If discomfort persists or worsens, we're always here to help adjust or evaluate your fit.

Will people know I'm wearing them?

Invisalign trays are made from smooth, transparent plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. Most people barely notice you're wearing them, even during close-up conversations. They're perfect for adults and teens who prefer a subtle, professional appearance while correcting their teeth.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

Yes, just remove your aligners before meals and snacks. This means you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions. Be sure to brush your teeth or at least rinse your mouth before putting your aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid staining the trays.

What happens if I forget to wear them?

If you forget to wear your aligners for a few hours, simply put them back in as soon as you remember. However, repeated lapses in wear time may delay progress or even reverse some tooth movements. Aim for 20-22 hours of daily wear, and call us if you need guidance on resuming your schedule.
How do I clean the aligners?
Cleaning is quick and easy. Rinse your trays with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste). You can also use specialised aligner-cleaning crystals or mild soap. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

Are they safe for contact sports or musical instruments?

Yes, the trays are ideal for active lifestyles. Since they're removable, you can take them out for high-impact sports and musical performances, then pop them back in afterwards. This versatility is one reason so many teens and young adults prefer them.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Many private health funds do contribute to orthodontic care, including Invisalign. Coverage amounts vary by provider and policy. During your consultation, our front desk team can help check your benefits and assist with any claims or documentation you need.

What factors affect Invisalign cost?

Costs depend on the number of aligners needed, the duration of treatment, and any refinements or retainers required at the end. Additional procedures like attachments or interproximal reduction may also impact the total. We provide a complete quote up front and offer payment options to make the treatment manageable.

Can adults do Invisalign?

Absolutely. Invisalign is a fantastic option for adults who want straighter teeth without the appearance or maintenance of braces. Aligners offer a low-profile, convenient solution that fits adult schedules and lifestyles, whether you're correcting crowding, gaps, or relapse from earlier orthodontics.
