Results vary from person to person.

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.

Your health fund checked

We look up what you're entitled to and lodge the claim for you.

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 cover, part of it may come back. We'll check what you're entitled to and lodge the claim for you.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Do clear aligners actually work?

For most people, yes, and they're usually more comfortable than you'd expect. They work really well for crowding, gaps and teeth that have shifted over the years. Whether they'll suit your teeth comes down to your bite and what's happening below the gumline, so we'll take a proper look when you come in and give you an honest answer either way.

Why is the consult free?

Because we'd rather you come in, get a proper look and know exactly where you stand before deciding anything. There's no pressure and no obligation. You'll leave with the full picture, and where you take it from there is completely up to you.

How long do I wear them each day?

Around 20 to 22 hours a day, so basically all the time apart from eating and brushing. You just pop them out for meals and slip them back in after. You'll settle into the routine quickly, usually within the first week.

Do you have payment plans?

We do. Most people prefer to spread the cost rather than pay it all upfront, and that's completely fine. Once we've had a look and mapped out your treatment, we'll walk you through the payment options that work for you.

Does it hurt?

Not really. A new set of aligners can feel a bit snug for a day or two, which just means they're gently getting to work, and it settles quickly. It's a world away from what people remember with metal braces.

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.
