How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, transparent trays that apply gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are made from a strong, clear plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth. Each aligner is worn for about 20 hours a day and is typically changed every 1-3 weeks as your teeth slowly shift.

How Long Do I Need to Wear Them?

To achieve the best results, clear aligners should be worn for approximately 20 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. The total treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most treatments last between 6 months and 18 months. Your dentist will provide a personalised treatment plan with an estimated timeline during your consultation.

Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Clear aligners have become a popular choice for teeth straightening due to several advantages:

Removability: Aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions.
Aesthetic Appeal: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for orthodontic treatment.
Easy Maintenance: With no brackets or wires to clean around, maintaining oral hygiene is easier with clear aligners. Simply remove the trays to brush and floss as usual.

Cost of Clear Aligners in Emerald and Rockhampton

The cost of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment required. Typically, you can expect to pay between $2,000 and $8,000. At Serenity Dental CQ, we offer interest-free payment plans and options like Afterpay to make Invisalign and other clear aligners more affordable. If your private health insurance covers orthodontics, a portion of the cost may be covered by your policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your coverage.

Serenity Clear Aligners vs Invisalign/Suresmiles/Clearcorrect etc

At Serenity Dental CQ, we have worked with Invisalign, Clearcorrect, Suresmiles and more in the past, now preferring to use our own in-house designed and manufactured clear aligners (Angel Aligners). We believe our in-house aligners offer benefits such as quicker treatment times, the ability to replace lost or missing aligners within 24 hours and gives us greater control over your treatment. This makes our in-house Angel Aligners a preferred choice for many patients.
