Book a free consultation for teeth straightening with no braces
If your teeth aren't perfectly straight, they have gaps or other orthodontic issues, braces might not be the only option for getting a straighter smile.
Invisalign clear aligners have become a popular alternative for adults and older teens who are self-conscious about wearing braces or who want a more convenient treatment that won't impact on their diet and lifestyle.

Invisalign® SmileView
SmileView outcome simulator is a computer-generated simulation of how your smile might look after teeth-straightening treatment. Not available for use for people with chipped and/or missing teeth. Invisalign treatment is a series of clear plastic removable orthodontic aligners that gently move patients’ teeth. An orthodontist or Invisalign trained dentist will be able to advise whether Invisalign treatment is right for you. You should read and follow their directions for use.
What are the benefits of Invisalign clear aligners?
If you don't like the way braces look and feel, Invisalign might be the choice for you. Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign is:
Virtually invisible
The aligners are made from clear plastic that's moulded to fit perfectly over your teeth, so no one should even notice that you're wearing them.
Removable
You should wear your aligners as much as possible, but they can be taken our when you eat and drink, clean your teeth and at other times.
Comfortable
Invisalign's patented SmartTrack® material is designed to feel soft and comfortable on your teeth, avoiding the irritation of metal braces. You won't have to worry about metal brackets or loose wires cutting your mouth or damaging your teeth.
Appointments
We'll schedule check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks to check your progress and provide your next few sets of aligners.

Why choose Invisalign at Sydney CBD Dental?
Teeth straightening is a complex procedure that should be overseen by a suitably experienced dentist or other healthcare professional. Our dentists in Sydney CBD have helped many patients to straighten their smiles with Invisalign clear aligners and other orthodontic systems, so we can help you get the best results and avoid common problems that could extend your treatment time.
Invisalign treatment can correct moderate orthodontic problems such as overbite, an open bite, crowding and gaps. If you have more complex orthodontic needs, we may recommend a different treatment or refer you to a specialist orthodontist in Sydney. Book a free consultation today.
What are my Invisalign options?
We offer three types of Invisalign at Sydney CBD Dental, giving you the flexibility to choose the ideal treatment for your needs. These are:
Invisalign Full
Suitable for many teeth alignment issues[LT1] , treatment with Invisalign Full takes 12 to 18 months on average, but this varies from case to case.
Invisalign Lite
If you only need minor straightening, Invisalign Lite uses a set number of aligners to straighten your teeth in a fixed time frame.
Invisalign Teen
Designed to support the continuing growth of teeth and jaws, with compliance indicators helping younger teens to stay on track.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign treatment works on the same principle as traditional braces – applying gentle force to move teeth into better alignment – but using removable aligners rather than fixed brackets and wires.
If you're a candidate for Invisalign at Sydney CBD Dental, we'll take digital impressions of your mouth and use Invisalign software to plan each step of your orthodontic journey. We can also show you what your straighter smile could look like if you wear your aligners for the time recommended.
Your custom aligners will then be manufactured in a laboratory and we'll provide the first few sets at your first fitting appointment. We'll then arrange regular check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks so we can check that your treatment is on course and help with any problems you have.
For the best results and to avoid delays, we recommend wearing your aligners for at least 20 hours a day to maximise their time spent on your teeth. Teeth straightening with Invisalign takes 12 to 18 months on average, and you'll normally have to wear a retainer afterwards to help maintain your new smile.
Invisalign FAQ
How often should I change my aligners?
Each set of Invisalign clear aligners is usually worn for 2 weeks before being replaced with the next, but this can vary. We'll advise you about how long to wear your aligners for and we'll make sure you have enough sets to last between visits.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
You should take out your aligners when you eat and drink and when you brush and floss your teeth. You can also take them out at other times, but we recommend wearing them for at least 20 to 22 hours per day (including when you sleep).
When will I start seeing results from Invisalign?
Invisalign is a long-term treatment. You'll normally see an improvement in your teeth alignment a few months into treatment, but this may be sooner or later.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The average Invisalign price at Sydney CBD Dental is around $5000 for Invisalign Lite or $7000 for Invisalign Full. We can give you a more accurate cost after we've examined your teeth and planned your treatment using the optimal number of aligners.
Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?
The cost of Invisalign vs. braces can be similar over the course of the treatment. Orthodontics with traditional braces is generally cheaper than Invisalign aligners, but the treatment can also take longer. We can give you an estimated cost comparison, so you can make fully informed decisions.
Is Invisalign cost covered by insurance?
Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments may be covered by some Extras policies. Check with your insurer to find out if you're covered. We can also offer a choice of interest-free payment plans if you need some help managing your Invisalign cost.
