How clear aligners work

A straighter smile, one step at a time

Step 1 of 4

Scan

Your smile starts with a 3D scan

We listen to your smile goals, then take a digital scan of your teeth. Your Nest Dental dentist uses it to plan each small movement.

Design

Aligners designed around you

We plan your treatment and show you a 3D preview of the proposed result. If you decide to go ahead, a series of custom aligners is made from your plan. No pressure, no rush.

Wear

A new set, another small step

You move through your aligner sets on the schedule your dentist recommends, removing them to eat and clean. Regular check-ins at Nest Dental help keep your treatment on track.

Maintain

Retainers help keep your smile in place

After your final aligner, we review your result. A retainer helps hold your teeth in their new position, with ongoing care and guidance from your Nest Dental dentist.

Why clear aligners?

Clear Aligners for the Smile You've Been Thinking About

If there's something about your smile you've quietly wanted to change, teeth that have shifted, a bite that's never quite sat right, or just a confidence thing you've carried for longer than you'd like to admit, this might be worth a conversation.

Clear aligners use a series of transparent, custom-fitted trays to gradually move your teeth. They are removable for eating and cleaning, which can make everyday life simpler throughout treatment.

There are several types of clear aligners. Invisalign® and Angel Aligner™ are two recognised systems, and other options are also available. The right system depends on your teeth, bite, treatment goals and clinical needs.

It starts with a $95 one-hour consultation with Dr Sandra, including an honest, in-depth assessment of whether clear aligners are suitable for you.

Nearly Invisible

Clear aligners are transparent and discreet when worn. Most people around you may not notice you are wearing them.

Removable

Remove them to eat and clean your teeth, which makes everyday life simpler throughout treatment. No food restrictions.

Comfortable

There are no brackets, no wires, and nothing to restrict what you eat. Custom-fitted trays designed for everyday comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Clear Aligners

There are various clear aligner systems. Invisalign and Angel Aligner are two recognised options, and other systems are also available. They share the same broad approach of using a planned series of removable trays, but their materials, features and treatment protocols can differ. We will recommend an option only after assessing your individual needs.

Clear aligners use a series of transparent, custom-fitted trays to gradually move your teeth. Unlike braces, they do not use fixed brackets or wires and can be removed for eating and cleaning. The most appropriate option depends on your individual case.

Clear aligners may suit a range of concerns, including crowding, spacing and some bite issues. Our team will review your teeth and give you an honest assessment of what may be achievable. If clear aligners are not the right fit for your situation, we will explain the alternatives.

Treatment time varies depending on each person's case, but most patients see results within 9 to 15 months. Some simpler cases are considerably shorter. Your consultation will give you a realistic picture of what to expect for your specific situation.

We will explain the available systems and full pricing after assessing what your treatment would involve. Cost varies with the aligner system, complexity and number of aligners required. You will receive a clear treatment plan and written cost before making a decision. Flexible payment options are available.

For best results, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth.

Clear aligners are made from transparent material and are designed to be discreet. They may still be visible at close range, particularly if attachments are needed.

Your initial consultation is a $95 one-hour appointment with Dr Sandra. We'll assess your suitability for clear aligners and talk through any treatment you may need.

Looking for a more complete smile change?

Clear aligners are designed to straighten your teeth and improve alignment over time. If you're also thinking about shape, colour, or overall balance, some patients combine clear aligners with treatments like dental veneers or teeth whitening Sydney to achieve a more complete result.
