How Does Invisalign Work: From First Fitting to Perfect Smile

Achieve Your Perfect Smile with Invisalign at Bright Dental Smile

Have you been wondering how Invisalign® could help you get the smile you’ve always wanted? At Bright Dental Smile, we provide clear aligner solutions designed to help you achieve straighter teeth comfortably, discreetly, and efficiently.

Since launching in 1998, Invisalign has become one of the most trusted clear aligner systems worldwide—and it's now available right here at our modern dental clinic in [Your Suburb, Sydney].

Whether you’re dealing with crowded teeth, spacing, or bite issues, Invisalign may be the right choice for you. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how Invisalign works, who it’s suitable for, what it costs in Australia, and why more adults and teens are choosing it over traditional metal braces.

What Is Invisalign and How Is It Different?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gently move your teeth into their ideal positions. These aligners are crafted using SmartTrack®, a smooth thermoplastic material that’s comfortable and barely noticeable when worn.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is:

• Virtually invisible – perfect for professionals and image-conscious patients
• Removable – eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions
• Comfortable – no metal brackets, wires or mouth sores

While fixed braces are still recommended for severe orthodontic problems, Invisalign is a fantastic option for patients with mild to moderate dental concerns.

Who Is Invisalign Suitable For?

At Bright Dental Smile, we’ve successfully treated patients of all ages with Invisalign. You're likely a good candidate if you:

• Have mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite problems
• Are committed to wearing aligners for 20–22 hours per day
• Have healthy gums and no untreated decay
• Have all adult teeth (Invisalign First is available for eligible children)

We’ll carry out a comprehensive consultation and 3D scan to determine whether Invisalign is the right solution for you.

Your Invisalign Journey with Us

At Bright Dental Smile, we make the Invisalign process simple and stress-free:

1. Consultation + Digital Scan

Using our advanced iTero 3D scanner, we’ll take precise digital images of your teeth—no messy impressions. You’ll even see a digital preview of your future smile before treatment begins.

2. Custom Aligner Creation

Your scan is sent to Invisalign’s lab, where a series of aligners are created specifically for you. Each set is designed to move your teeth gradually over time.

3. Daily Wear & Routine

You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink (except water), or clean your teeth.

4. Progress Monitoring

We’ll see you every 4–6 weeks at our Sydney clinic to track your progress and provide new sets of aligners. You may also qualify for remote monitoring if preferred.

What Can Invisalign Fix?

Invisalign is effective in treating:

• Crowded or crooked teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbite, underbite or crossbite
• Mild relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

In some cases, patients with complex orthodontic issues may still require traditional braces. We'll let you know during your consultation.

Invisalign Cost in Australia

At Bright Dental Smile, Invisalign treatment typically costs between $6,000 and $9,000 AUD, depending on:

• The complexity of your case
• Treatment length
• How many aligners are needed

We’ll provide a personalised quote after your initial scan and consultation.
