Invisalign - your smile straightened… discreetly

At Dentistry at the Cross our Invisalign price starts at $6000. The cost will vary depending on your tailored treatment plan. We’ll always be upfront about costs and treatment time frame, because transparency is our thing/jam/whatever you wish to call it!

Like traditional braces, Invisalign aligners place a gentle amount of pressure on the teeth. This helps the teeth gradually shift into their new position. Instead of using metal wires and brackets, Invisalign uses flexible plastic. Digital scanning technology customises the aligner trays to meet your desired needs. To achieve the desired results, you’ll need to wear your Invisalign clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Typically, you’ll switch to your new set of aligner trays every 1-2 weeks until the teeth straightening process is complete.

This varies from patient to patient. For some it will take as little as 4 months, and others 18 months, but 12 months is your typical timeframe. Invisalign treatment time frame depends on your specific needs. (For example, whether you have an underbite, overbite, gap, overcrowded teeth, etc).

Don’t worry, we will recommend the teeth straightening approach that will get you the best results. While both Invisalign and braces are effective, clear aligners do have a few extra perks. As the name suggests, Invisalign is virtually invisible. Plus, you have the flexibility to remove your aligners when eating, going to special occasions, and when it’s time to brush and floss your teeth. However, the success of your Invisalign treatment largely depends on your compliance with wearing the aligners and attending your ongoing dentist appointments.

You may experience some discomfort with each new set of aligners fitted, as we progress towards moving your teeth into their final position. This potential discomfort won’t last long and can be relieved by over-the-counter medication.
