Nambour Dental Practice team always wants to provide the very best solutions to ensure that our patient needs are met. This is why we are pleased to offer discreet orthodontic treatment from Clear Aligner. Nambour patients here in Sunshine Coast can benefit from quality Clear Aligner technology which has given over 5 million people the chance to benefit from straighter teeth.

Just like conventional bracket and wire braces, Invisalign treatment can be used to straighten a wide variety of tooth problems and it does so by applying sustained and gentle pressure. However, that is where the similarities end.

Where patients opting for bracket and wire style orthodontics will wear one fixed brace for the duration of their treatment, those choosing Invisalign can expect to wear a series of interchangeable clear aligners which fit over the teeth like a mouthguard.

"The idea behind Clear Aligner is that each clear aligner moves the teeth a fraction of a cm, then it’s discarded and the next one in the series takes over. This continues until the teeth are finally in their correct position. Typically, Clear aligner patients in Nambour Dental Practice can expect to wear somewhere between 12 and 36 sets of clear aligners depending upon the severity of their treatment."

Getting clear aligner in Nambour Dental Practice starts with a consultation. This consultation, together with an examination will help to develop a digital model of your mouth. This can then be used to virtually plot your smile journey. Using this your bespoke clear aligners are then made. The cost of your Invisalign treatment usually depends upon the number of aligners and the complexity of your case.

Once your Invisalign aligners have been custom-made you need to start wearing them for approximately 22 hours a day, only to be removed when eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. This can take some discipline but is extremely important, especially if you want to finish your treatment in the allotted time.

All that is left to do is for our dentist in Nambour Dental Practice is to check in regularly with you to ensure that your tooth movement remains on track.

We can detect how patients oral hygiene is and whether they have periodontal (gum) disease or not, which can affect the immediate and long term success rate of clear aligner.
