Invisalign® and clear aligners in Wagga Wagga

Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made clear aligners, planned by your orthodontist using 3D digital technology. You wear each set for 20–22 hours a day and change to the next set approximately every two weeks. Invisalign can be used for many cases of crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite.

• Comfortable. Aligners are made from smooth plastic, with no brackets or wires.
• Removable. Aligners can be taken out to eat, drink, brush and floss, or for special occasions.
• Discreet. Clear aligners are hard to notice when you're wearing them.
• Normal brushing and flossing. You take the aligners out to brush, floss and eat.

Invisalign Teen

Invisalign Teen is a clear aligner option for teenagers: a series of clear aligners custom-made for your teeth using digital planning. The aligners allow for growing permanent teeth and move the teeth gradually. Each set is worn for about two weeks before you change to the next.

Invisalign Teen aligners have a blue-dot wear indicator, designed to give an estimate of wear time. The dot is designed to fade over about two weeks if the aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day.

It can be used for many cases of crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite and crossbite. Your orthodontist will advise whether it suits you.

Aligners can be taken out for sport, musical instruments, eating and cleaning, and should be worn 20–22 hours a day. Ask us about replacement aligners if one is lost or broken.

Is Invisalign right for me?

Neither braces nor aligners are better for everyone. It depends on the type of correction needed, your age and how consistently aligners will be worn. At your consultation your orthodontist will go through the options, the likely timeframe and the costs.
