Will they work on your teeth?

Aligners handle a lot of what braces handle. Crowding, gaps, teeth that have drifted over the years.

What decides it is your bite, and what's going on under the gum where you can't see it. That takes a scan, not a guess.

Thirty minutes and we'll know. Then we tell you straight.

Your free Invisalign consult

What you walk out with

✓

A proper look at your teeth, gums and bite

Not just the teeth at the front. What's underneath decides whether aligners will work at all.

✓

A 3D scan of your teeth

No trays of goop. The scan becomes the map your treatment gets planned from.

✓

A straight answer

Whether aligners will work for your teeth. And if they won't, what will.

✓

A timeline for your teeth

Yours, not an average off a page.

✓

A written quote

One number, covering the whole treatment, before you agree to anything.

You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand.

Day to day

What wearing them is like

They're in most of the time

Twenty to twenty-two hours a day. Out to eat, out to brush, straight back in.

You eat normally

Take them out and eat whatever you like. That's the bit people miss most about braces.

A new tray feels tight for a couple of days

That's the tray working. It settles.

You'll see us every six to eight weeks

So we can check your teeth are tracking, and step in early if they aren't.

What it costs

It depends how far your teeth have to travel. Some people need twelve trays. Some need forty.

We look at your teeth first, then give you a written quote covering the whole treatment, before you agree to anything.

Payment plans

You can spread the cost rather than pay it in one hit. We'll go through the options that apply to your quote.

Health funds

Depending on your level of cover, you may be able to claim part of the cost back through your private health insurance.

Who you'd be seeing

Dr Dhvani Bhatt (DJ)

Your consult is with Dr DJ, one of our dentists here at Oakdale Dental in Bentleigh East. She has been practising since 2011 and looks after everything from smile makeovers to restorative work, with a gentle, unhurried approach that nervous patients especially appreciate.

She'll take a proper look at your teeth and talk you through whether Invisalign is right for you, in plain language and with no pressure.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Do clear aligners actually work?

Yes. Clear aligners are a proven way to straighten teeth, and they work well for crowding, gaps and teeth that have shifted over time. How well they'll work for you depends on your bite and the health of your teeth and gums, which is exactly what Dr DJ assesses at your consult. Either way, you'll get an honest recommendation.

Why is the consult free?

So you can find out whether Invisalign is right for you with no cost and no commitment. You'll get a proper assessment, a 3D scan and a clear explanation of your options, and you're under no obligation to go ahead. It's simply a relaxed first step so you can make an informed decision.

How long do I wear them each day?

For the best results, aligners are worn around 20 to 22 hours a day. You take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss, then pop them straight back in. They quickly become part of your daily routine.

Do you have payment plans?

Yes. We understand Invisalign is an investment, so we offer payment plan options that let you spread the cost over time rather than pay it all upfront. Once Dr DJ has assessed your teeth and mapped out your treatment, we'll walk you through the options that work best for you.

Does it hurt?

Invisalign is generally very comfortable, and much gentler than traditional braces. When you move to a new set of aligners you may feel mild pressure or tightness for a day or two as your teeth adjust, which is completely normal and settles quickly. Dr DJ will make sure you know what to expect at every stage.

You've probably thought about this before.

Most people who sit in our chair have wanted straighter teeth for years. Something got in the way. Usually the thought of a mouth full of metal, or not knowing what it would cost, or life just being busy.

Thirty minutes will tell you whether it's right for you.
