Invisalign in
West Perth
Also called invisible braces, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that can address alignment issues. It uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Because they are nearly invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
West Perth Dental Centre can help you decide if Invisalign is right for you. We can assess your oral health and create a personalised treatment plan. The good news is that we offer a free initial consultation for new patients.

Who Is a Good Candidate For Invisalign?
You have mild to moderate teeth misalignment.
Invisalign cannot address severe dental issues, such as major bite problems, severely crooked or crowded teeth, and complex teeth misalignment. It's because the aligners cannot move teeth in extreme cases.
You have good oral health.
Having cavities, tooth decay, or gum disease can be a risk factor for Invisalign. This means that any dental problems must be taken care of prior to starting Invisalign treatment.
You are willing to commit to the process.
Invisalign requires consistency and dedication to achieve desired results. You must wear your aligners for at least 22 hours daily and switch them on time as instructed by your dentist.
You can quit or avoid smoking.
Smoking while wearing your aligners can stain them and affect their overall performance. It also reduces the effectiveness of Invisalign and can lead to other oral health issues.
What You Need to Know About Invisalign
Invisalign® is a modern approach to straightening teeth using clear, removable aligners. It is popular for teens and adults as it provides a discreet alternative to conventional metal braces. The treatment involves customised treatment plans and regular aligner changes to achieve the desired results. With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can comfortably and subtly address teeth misalignment without the hassles of metal braces.
BPA-Free Plastic Material
Invisalign® aligners are made from BPA-free plastic, which is safe for daily use. This durable and comfortable material is gentle on the gums and cheeks and suitable for long-term wear throughout treatment.
Gradual Teeth Straightening
Invisalign® aligners gradually straighten teeth through a series of aligners. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth into their proper position over time. This specific technique involves making minor adjustments to achieve a straighter smile.
Comfortable and Virtually Invisible
When worn, Invisalign® aligners are comfortable and nearly invisible, making them appealing for those wanting to straighten teeth without noticeable metal braces. The smooth plastic reduces discomfort as the aligners fit snugly over the teeth.
Customised Treatment Plans
Invisalign® treatment plans are tailored to individual needs. Your dentist creates a precise treatment plan based on your dental structure. This customised approach effectively moves your teeth to the desired position.
Common Dental Problems That
Invisalign Can Address
Misaligned teeth
This can occur if your upper and lower teeth don't meet when you close your jaws, which can lead to oral complications if left unmanaged. It's also called malocclusion of the teeth.
Gaps in Teeth
Also called diastema, this oral health concern occurs when there is a space between two teeth. Gaps can be caused by gum disease, missing or small teeth, or oversized labial frenum.
Crowded teeth
This happens when there isn't enough space for all your teeth, causing them to become crooked or rotated. Teeth crowding may be due to genetics or because your teeth are too large for your jaw.
Bite issues
There are three common types of bite problems you may experience, such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite. These dental concerns may result from genetics, misaligned teeth, or bad habits like thumb-sucking and teeth grinding, or bruxism.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT Invisalign
How does Invisalign work?
These removable aligners work by gradually moving your teeth into the desired position using a series of transparent, custom-made aligners to give you a beautiful smile. You have to wear each set for at least 22 hours a day for two weeks before you move on to the next one until you achieve your desired results.
In some cases, you may have to wear a retainer a few times a week to prevent your newly straightened teeth from returning to their original position for several months.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition of your teeth. But in general, the entire treatment process may take up to 6 to 12 months or more, with regular appointments in between so your dentist can check the progress and make adjustments during treatment as needed.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
In some aspects, Invisalign may be better than other teeth straighteners like traditional metal braces.
First, if you don’t like the idea of wearing metals and wires in your mouth, Invisalign is a good alternative for you. Second, these invisible braces are more comfortable to wear and easier to care for than traditional braces, reducing the risk of tooth decay. Third, it is a faster treatment, and the aligners can be removed so you can eat your favourite foods without worrying about damaging your braces. Ultimately, while patients report discomfort during their early stages of treatment, many say there’s more pain when wearing traditional braces.
However, you have to note that Invisalign may not be a suitable option for complex dental issues. They can also be more expensive than other types of teeth straighteners.
Are there food restrictions with Invisalign treatment?
How do I clean my Invisalign clear aligners?
It’s important to brush your aligners every morning and night with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clean, mild soap to remove any food particles that accumulate during the day. Rinse them thoroughly with warm water after brushing, then store them in their case when not in use. Note that when cleaning your aligners, avoid using hot water as this can warp their shape. You can also use a cleaning solution especially made for Invisalign.
To use, soak your aligners in the tray with the solution for 15 minutes, then brush them before rinsing. Another product you can use to clean your clear aligners is the “cleaning crystals” that you dissolve in water and soak your aligners in.
