Metal braces are now a thing of the past: the clear solution to a beautiful smile is invisible braces. Invisalign is the new treatment to help straighten and align teeth; all retainers tailored to the individual.
Oakleigh Dental is a certified Invisalign provider and has a team of dentists to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile. With invisible braces you can continue to eat what you want, and easily floss and brush your teeth on a regular basis.
The treatment is as simple as switching plastic aligners every two weeks until your teeth have properly moved. No one will know you're wearing Invisalign unless you tell them. In 6-12 months you'll have the smile you've always dreamed of.

The clear alternative to metal braces
By choosing Invisalign over metal braces, you will never have to worry about:
- Metal wires and brackets that irritate and cut your gums
- Not being able to floss and clear your mouth of tartar, plaque, and cavity-causing debris
- Being self-conscious of the unattractiveness of metal orthodontic appliances
- Getting food stuck in your mouth
- The pain that comes with having your archwires tightened
This is just a few of the advantages Invisalign invisible braces have over traditional ones.
Here are some others:
Have beautiful teeth in a year.
If you opt for traditional metal corrective wear, you're likely looking at having them on for two years if not more. With Invisalign clear braces, the average treatment time is about a year. You'll see your Melbourne dentist every 6-8 weeks, at which time they'll check if anything needs to be adjusted and see how your teeth are progressing.
Anyone who's had metal orthodontics remembers the pain associated. That's a thing of the past with invisible braces. From the time you put your first set of Invisalign clear braces in, you can eat or drink anything you want just as long as you take out your aligners. You're also allowed to drink water with your invisible braces in.
Treat misalignment of your teeth great and small.
Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. This treatment is successful in assisting with:
- Crowded or widely spaced teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
Invisalign uses plastic, clear aligners to straighten teeth which means that you can remain active during your treatment. Unlike past treatments, there are no metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth so you can stay active. Simply take the clear aligners out for special events or when you wish to eat a sticky snack.
