Is Invisalign Right for You

Invisalign can be a great option for many people, but it is not the right solution for everyone. Under specialist orthodontic supervision, Invisalign can effectively treat a range of concerns, including crowding, spacing, bite issues, and teeth that have shifted after previous braces.

Many adults and teenagers are suitable for Invisalign treatment. However, some cases need more advanced planning or alternative treatment methods to achieve the best outcome. That is why a thorough orthodontic assessment is so important.

At Riversdale Orthodontics, we take the time to properly assess your teeth and bite using clinical examination and digital scans. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate treatment for you, rather than relying on online assessments or generic aligner programs.

Specialist Invisalign Treatment Planning at Riversdale Orthodontics

Invisalign treatment works best when it is carefully planned and closely monitored. Tooth movement depends on accurate diagnosis, well-positioned attachments, and a treatment plan that is adjusted as your teeth respond.

At Riversdale Orthodontics, we use detailed records and digital scans to plan each stage of your Invisalign treatment. Your treatment plan is created and reviewed by a specialist orthodontist, ensuring tooth movement is controlled and predictable.

We focus on more than just straightening teeth. Our priority is achieving a balanced bite and long-term stability, so your results look good and function well for years to come.

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Your Invisalign journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at our Hawthorn East practice. We assess your teeth, bite, and overall alignment, and talk through whether Invisalign is the right option for you.

If Invisalign is suitable, we create a personalised treatment plan using digital scans. You will receive a series of custom aligners that are worn for most of the day and changed regularly as your teeth move.

Wearing your aligners as recommended is key to staying on track. Throughout treatment, we monitor your progress and make adjustments when needed. Refinements are common and help fine-tune your results.

Once treatment is complete, retainers are provided to help maintain your new smile.

Invisalign Cost in Hawthorn

The cost of Invisalign treatment in Hawthorn can vary depending on your individual needs. Factors such as treatment complexity, duration, and whether refinements are required all play a role.

Specialist orthodontic Invisalign treatment may be priced differently to other options, as it includes detailed planning, regular monitoring, and a strong focus on long-term results.

We offer flexible payment options and can discuss health fund considerations during your consultation. The best way to understand costs is through a personalised assessment, where we can explain your options clearly.

Why Invisalign treatment?

Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly in mature adults, we may consider longer periods between aligner changes.
Proven results: SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement with Invisalign clear aligners
Better fit: Aligners made from SmartTrack material are comfortable, fit well, and are easy to put on and take off.
Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
Comfortable: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
Convenient: Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, since you only need to visit our office every eight weeks.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Your First Consultation
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
We will use our onsite digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.
Your Invisalign Clear Aligners
Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening. Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
Your Progress
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every eight weeks or so.
Taking Care of Your New Smile
When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera® retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners.

To learn more about the Invisalign system and all your orthodontic treatment options, please feel free to schedule an appointment at our office. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!

What is the Invisalign system?

The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign treatment uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to depict your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth — and your teeth only — to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved.

Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your doctor based on your specific needs.
What are the primary benefits of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign aligners are clear, which makes Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.

Lastly, Invisalign treatment technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.
How many patients are in Invisalign treatment?

More than 5,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign aligners. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily. At your next appointment, we can answer any questions you might have, and get you started on the smile you’ve always wanted.
How does an orthodontist control tooth movement with Invisalign?

Orthodontists use detailed treatment planning, attachments, and staged aligner sequences to guide specific tooth movements. Regular reviews allow adjustments to be made when needed.
Can Invisalign correct bite problems, not just straighten teeth?

Yes. When planned by a specialist orthodontist, Invisalign can be used to address many bite issues, not just cosmetic alignment concerns.
How often is Invisalign treatment reviewed by the orthodontist?

Review intervals vary depending on the treatment plan, but progress is monitored regularly to ensure teeth are moving as expected.
Can Invisalign treat complex orthodontic cases?

Some complex cases can be treated with Invisalign, often with specialist modifications or refinements. Suitability is determined during a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.
Are there age limits for Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign can be suitable for both teenagers and adults. Treatment planning takes growth, compliance, and individual orthodontic needs into account.
Why are retainers needed after Invisalign treatment?

Retainers help maintain the final tooth positions and prevent relapse. They are an essential part of long-term orthodontic stability.
Can Invisalign aligners affect speech or comfort?

Some patients notice minor changes initially, but this usually resolves quickly as the mouth adapts to the aligners.
