What you pay for clear aligners depends on how far your teeth need to move and how many aligners your plan uses, so a short course for minor crowding costs less than a comprehensive case. After your free consultation you receive a written, itemised quote with no obligation. Some health funds with orthodontic extras cover part of the cost, which we can claim on the spot through HICAPS, and payment plans may be available to spread the rest.

Clear aligner treatment is an investment, so we try to make paying for it manageable. Depending on your plan, you may be able to spread the cost with Buy Now Pay Later for smaller amounts or a longer payment plan for comprehensive treatment. Ask us which options apply to you.

How it works

How does Invisalign® straighten teeth?

Invisalign® treats crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite and crooked teeth with a set of custom clear aligners. Each aligner is shaped from a 3D scan of your mouth and made from SmartTrack®, a smooth, flexible plastic designed by Align Technology to apply steady, gentle pressure. Features the manufacturer calls SmartForce® and SmartStaging® help control which teeth move, in what order and when.

You change to the next aligner in your series roughly every one to two weeks, as your plan directs. Every change shifts your teeth a little further towards the finished position shown in your ClinCheck® preview. The aligners only move teeth while they are in your mouth, so plan on wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day and taking them out just for meals, drinks other than water, and cleaning.

Suitability

Am I a candidate for Invisalign® clear aligners?

Clear aligners suit a wide range of mild to moderate alignment problems, and there is no upper age limit as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Every mouth is different in tooth size, position and bite, so treatment is never one plan fits all. At your consultation in Kallangur, Dr Sonia looks at your teeth, gums and bite, talks through what you would like to change, and tells you honestly whether Invisalign® is a sensible choice for you.

Some complex jaw or bite problems are better handled with fixed braces or a referral, and we will say so if that is the case. Aligners also rely on you wearing them consistently, so they suit people who are ready to build that habit into their day. (Pictured: a real Invisalign® patient, before and after treatment. Individual results vary.)

Weighing it up

Invisalign® vs braces: which is better for me?

Fixed braces use brackets and wires that stay on for the whole treatment. They handle almost any movement, but they are visible, can rub on your cheeks and lips, and make sticky, hard or chewy foods off limits. Invisalign® aligners are nearly invisible and removable, which makes brushing, flossing and eating out much simpler, though they only work if you keep them in for most of the day.

For many adults in Kallangur, North Lakes and Mango Hill the choice comes down to lifestyle and the kind of movement their teeth need. We have written two detailed guides if you want to compare further: Invisalign vs braces in 2026: cost, results and what works faster and Invisalign vs braces: the better choice for Aussie adults. Thinking about mail-order aligners instead? Our clear aligners comparison guide explains how dentist-supervised treatment differs, and if you are wondering how straighter teeth might change your profile, read will Invisalign change my face?

How it works

How long does Invisalign® take? Your treatment step by step

Here is how Invisalign® treatment runs at Kallangur Dental Surgery, from your first visit on Anzac Avenue to your final retainer:

Free smile consultation

Dr Sonia checks your oral health, listens to what bothers you about your smile, and confirms whether aligners are the right fit. You leave knowing your options, a likely timeframe and the cost.

3D scan and ClinCheck® preview

We take digital scans of your teeth instead of messy moulds. Your aligners are then planned tooth by tooth, and you get to see a simulation of your finished smile before you agree to go ahead.

Wearing your aligners

You move to a fresh set roughly every one to two weeks, keeping them in for 20 to 22 hours a day. Short review visits every couple of months let us check progress and hand over your next aligners.

Finishing and retainers

When your teeth reach their planned position we make any small refinements and fit a retainer. Teeth tend to drift over the years, so wearing your retainer as advised is what keeps your new smile straight.

The Invisalign® journey

From first scan to finished smile

This short clip follows an Invisalign® patient from the first appointment and scan, through planning, to the day the last aligner comes out.

At Kallangur Dental Surgery the same team stays with you from start to finish. Dr Sonia plans the movement, reviews your progress in person at each visit, and adjusts the plan if a tooth needs extra help, so you always know how far you have come and what is next. Patients travel to us from Petrie, Murrumba Downs, Griffin, Dakabin and Narangba, and there is free parking at the back of the building.

Good to know

Invisalign® - frequently asked

How much does Invisalign® cost in Australia?

Clear aligner treatment at Kallangur Dental Surgery starts from $4,500. The final figure depends on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need, so we confirm it in a written quote after your free consultation. Our Invisalign vs braces 2026 cost guide goes through cost in more detail.

How long does Invisalign® take?

It varies with how much your teeth need to move. Small corrections can be finished within months, while fuller cases commonly run for a year or longer. Your ClinCheck® plan gives you an estimated timeline before you start.

How does Invisalign® work?

A 3D scan of your teeth is used to design a series of clear aligners. Each one applies gentle, controlled pressure that moves your teeth a small step at a time, and you switch to the next aligner every week or two as directed.

Can I pay for Invisalign® with a payment plan?

Payment plans may be available, subject to approval, so you can spread the cost over time rather than paying it all upfront. We will explain the options, and any fees involved, when we give you your quote.

Is Invisalign® treatment painful?

Expect some pressure or tenderness for a day or two after you switch to a new aligner, which is a sign the aligner is working. It usually settles quickly, and the smooth plastic avoids the rubbing that brackets and wires can cause.

Will my health fund cover Invisalign®?

Some extras policies include orthodontic cover that can go towards clear aligners, but limits and waiting periods differ between funds. Check your policy or ask your fund, and we can process eligible claims through HICAPS at the practice.

Can I switch from braces to Invisalign®?

Sometimes. It depends on where you are in your current treatment and what movement is still needed, so book an assessment and we will look at your situation before recommending a change.

My teeth moved back after braces. Can Invisalign® fix it?

Often, yes. Teeth that have relapsed after earlier orthodontic treatment, usually because a retainer was not worn, can frequently be realigned with clear aligners. We will assess how much movement is needed first.

Are there food restrictions with Invisalign®?

No, because you remove your aligners to eat. Take them out for meals and for any drink other than plain water, then brush before putting them back so food and stains are not trapped against your teeth.

Will Invisalign® affect my speech?

Some people notice a slight lisp for the first few days while the tongue adjusts to the aligners. It generally fades quickly as you get used to them.

Do I need a retainer after Invisalign®?

Yes. Start wearing your retainer straight away once treatment finishes, following the schedule we give you, because teeth naturally try to drift back towards their old positions.
