The Invisalign Treatment Process at 123 Dental
Having vast experience in providing our Invisalign services to Perth, we have streamlined the process and we want to help you understand just how easy it can be to get started:
Step 01: First Appointment
We sit down with you for a chat about your goals and what it is that you want to change about your smile and if you have a particular event or timeline you would like it finished by. After this we do a comprehensive examination including a health check of your teeth, gums and jaw as well as photos, a 3D digital scan of your teeth and X-Rays (if required)
Step 2: Visualisation of Final Results
For simple cases we will often be able to show you what your final smile will look like in our first appointment, however for more complex treatments we will get you back once we have finalised a treatment plan and smile design to show you what the end result will look like. It's really important to us that our vision is aligned with yours before we start any cosmetic treatments.
Step 3: Receiving and Fitting Your First Aligners
Approximately 4 weeks later we will have received your aligners from Invisalign and will try them in to make sure they are comfortable, bond on any attachments (anchor points) that may be required to assist with moving your teeth, explain how to look after your new aligners and answer any other questions you may have on the day.
Step 4: On Your Way to a New Smile
We typically see you every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and make any adjustments that may be necessary.
Step 5: Enjoy your new smile
At the end of treatment, which is typically 6-12 months, we remove the attachments (anchor points) and if we had planned any composite bonding or porcelain veneers we will then start this process. If not, we will make your final retainers that you will wear at night whilst sleeping (indefinitely), to maintain and protect your new smile.

Are they Suitable For All Patients?
Most of our patients who need teeth alignment treatment respond well to Invisalign. Those who require standard braces can in many situations opt for Invisalign instead due to their more discrete appearance. For example, Invisalign can fix a variety of dental issues, including:
Crowded Teeth
When there isn't enough space for teeth to fit normally within the jaws.
Gapped Teeth
Extra spaces between teeth, which can cause gum problems.
Deep bite
When the upper front teeth overlap too much over the lower teeth.
Underbite
When some lower teeth sit outside the upper teeth when the mouth is closed.
Crossbite
When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside.
Open Bite
When the upper and lower teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed.
Misaligned Teeth
Teeth that aren't in their proper position, affecting bite and smile appearance.
People can keep track of their orthodontic treatment progress without issue. We review our Invisalign patients every 6-8 weeks to ensure their treatment progresses as we have meticulously planned.

What are Invisalign Dental Aligners?
Invisalign braces enable you to straighten your teeth using nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for you. Wearing them for a minimum of 22hrs a day and changing them every week or two for ones that are ever so slightly different shaped, they pull, push, twist your teeth to where they need to go. They work in the same way that traditional metal braces do, when you exert a constant force on a tooth it moves it in that direction.
Invisalign’s transparent aligners can be suitable for teenagers and adults alike. They give people beautiful smiles, and do so without the assistance of conspicuous brackets and wires. They make a fantastic alternative to standard metal braces.

Invisalign FAQs
Who makes Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign is from Align Technology, Inc. This company is responsible for its design, manufacture, and all marketing efforts. Align Technology started its operations back in 1997 and is currently headquartered in San Jose, California, USA. There are other offices around the world, but the manufacturing operation unit is found in Juarez, Mexico. Although it began in the late 90s, the technology was already envisioned in 1945. Today, it is now available in more than 100 countries, including Australia.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Typically, Invisalign costs less with a general dentist than traditional metal braces cost with an orthodontist. You can expect to pay between $3500-7500 for Invisalign compared to regular braces, which often start at $7000.
Prices differ depending on the severity of the case. Some factors that impact the total cost of the treatment include:
- The number of aligners needed
- How much alignment is required
- The number of visits for adjustments
If you have applicable insurance for Invisalign, you can be covered for some of the costs. If you want to pay the full price or your insurance does not cover the treatment, you may be offered some payment options.
What is the difference between Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments?
The main difference between Invisalign and traditional braces and ceramic braces is it is virtually invisible. Using a series of clear plastic trays, called aligners, you do not have to be worried about wires and brackets.
If you are familiar with lingual braces, they are the same as traditional braces, except the brackets are attached at the back of each tooth. But compared to lingual or incognito braces, Invisalign is actually less expensive. Plus, it is much easier to use. Just wear them in your mouth for about 22 hours per day. You can remove them when eating or brushing your teeth, which is a benefit that other straightening systems do not offer.
What usually happens before and during Invisalign placement?
Once you and your 123 Dental dentist agree that the treatment is suitable for you, we will take some photos, X-rays, and scans for your teeth. The beauty of our process is that you can see a simulation of what your teeth will look like once the treatment is complete before you start.
Using a 3D treatment plan, we will design the aligners, which are customised just for you. Once your aligners are produced, you can start wearing them, marking the beginning of your teeth straightening journey.
How long do I need to wear Invisalign?
The duration of the treatment will, of course, depend on how mild or severe your teeth straightening needs are. Your 123 Dental dentist will determine how long the treatment will take. Typically, though, adults take an average of 6 to 12 months. Wear your aligners as recommended by your dentist, which is generally 22 hours each day. In doing so, you get the best results in the estimated time.
Do I need to visit my dentist after getting the treatment?
Yes! You still have to come back every few weeks to see your dentist. We will tell you how frequent those visits will be, which will depend on your case and its progress. Usually, you will need to come back every six to eight weeks. During these appointments, your aligners will be checked to make sure they still fit correctly. Adjustments may be required, which means that your teeth have moved.
Are there any food or drink restrictions while on Invisalign?
Probably one of the things that people love most about Invisalign is that this teeth-straightening system does not affect how they physically eat and drink. The aligners can be removed even when brushing and flossing. There is no need to stop eating your favourite food and beverages unless the dentist tells you so. Make sure though that you always brush and floss your teeth before you put your aligners on. For your oral health, you may want to avoid anything sugary, since it is the cause of tooth decay.
How long will it take before I see any progress?
The results are usually visible after a few months. Don’t expect Invisalign to work overnight. There is also some minimal discomfort, especially when your teeth begin to move. However, it is often quite negligible. If the discomfort is affecting your everyday tasks, be sure to tell your dentist right away.
For optimal results, 123 Dental aims to align your teeth gradually. It is a process that can take several months to over a year. It ensures precision and a healthy smile once the treatment is complete.
Is invisalign covered by health insurance?
In short, yes, it can be. Depending on your level of private health insurance cover, you could be eligible to be covered for Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign is classed as Orthodontic work, which is covered by many health funds with a lifetime limit. Depending on your overall cost of treatment you may be able to cover most if not all of your treatment!
Depending on your provider, some may cover this at the clinic at the time of treatment, others may require you to claim it back later. It’s best to check your level of cover first.
