What Is Invisalign? A Smarter Approach to Teeth Straightening

Invisalign is the world’s leading clear aligner system, used by orthodontists in over 100 countries to treat a wide range of teeth alignment and bite issues. Unlike traditional metal or ceramic braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible removable aligners crafted from patented SmartTrack material. Each set of clear aligners for teeth applies gentle, controlled pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position — without brackets, wires, or dietary restrictions.

Developed by Align Technology, Invisalign has straightened over 18 million smiles worldwide. The system combines advanced 3D digital scanning, computer-aided treatment planning, and precision-manufactured aligners to deliver predictable orthodontic results.

Why Choose a Specialist Orthodontist for Your Invisalign Treatment

Not all Invisalign providers are equal. The difference between a general dentist offering clear aligners and a registered specialist orthodontist can be the difference between a good result and an exceptional one.

At Supersmile, every Invisalign case is planned, overseen, and managed by specialist orthodontists who have completed an additional three years of full-time university training beyond a general dental degree — focusing exclusively on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of dental and facial irregularities. This advanced training means our orthodontists understand not just how to straighten teeth, but how to optimise your bite, protect long-term dental health, and achieve facial balance.

Supersmile orthodontists are members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists and the Australian Dental Association, and all practitioners are registered with AHPRA — ensuring you receive care that meets Australia’s highest professional standards.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment suitable for teenagers, young adults, and older adults who want to improve their smile without the visibility of traditional braces. Our specialist orthodontists use Invisalign to treat a range of common alignment and bite concerns, including:

Crowded teeth

when teeth overlap or twist due to insufficient space in the jaw.

Gapped teeth

excess spacing between teeth caused by missing teeth, jaw growth patterns, or habits.

Overbite, underbite, and crossbite

upper and lower jaw misalignment that affects function and appearance.

Open bite

when upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed.

General misalignment

mild to complex cases where teeth are not sitting in their ideal position.

Invisalign is especially popular among adults seeking orthodontic treatment for professional or personal reasons. The clear aligners are virtually invisible during daily life, making them ideal for people in client-facing roles, public-speaking positions, or anyone who values discretion during treatment. For more complex cases involving significant bite correction, our orthodontists may recommend a combined approach using Invisalign alongside fixed appliances to achieve the optimal outcome.

How Invisalign Treatment Works at Supersmile

Understanding the Invisalign treatment process helps you feel confident and prepared from the very first appointment. Here is what to expect when you begin your clear aligner journey with Supersmile.

Initial Orthodontic Consultation

Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive initial assessment ($160) at one of our three Canberra locations. During this appointment, your specialist orthodontist will examine your teeth, jaw, and bite; take diagnostic photographs; X-rays and discuss your concerns and smile goals. This is also when we determine whether Invisalign clear aligners are the right treatment for your case — or whether an alternative such as clear braces or lingual braces may achieve a better result.

3D Digital Scanning and Treatment Planning

If Invisalign is suitable, we use state-of-the-art 3D intraoral scanning technology to capture a precise digital model of your teeth — with no messy impression trays required.

Custom Aligner Fabrication

Once the treatment plan is approved, your series of custom aligners is precision-manufactured using Invisalign's patented SmartTrack material and shipped to our practice. Each aligner is laser-cut and calibrated to move specific teeth at specific stages of your treatment.

Wearing Your Clear Aligners

You will wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. The aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day for optimal results.

Progress Monitoring and Refinement

Throughout your treatment, you will attend regular progress appointments (typically every 6 to 10 weeks) so your specialist orthodontist can monitor tooth movement and ensure everything is tracking to plan. If refinements are needed, additional aligners are fabricated to fine-tune your result.

Retention

Once your teeth have reached their final position, your orthodontist will fit you with retainers to maintain your new smile. Retention is a critical phase of any orthodontic treatment — without it, teeth can gradually shift back toward their original position.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Virtually invisible

Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade thermoplastic, making them nearly undetectable when worn. Most people will not even notice you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Removable for daily life

Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for meals, allowing you to eat whatever you like without restrictions. Brushing and flossing are straightforward — simply remove the aligners, clean your teeth as normal, and put them back in.

Comfortable and smooth

The SmartTrack material is trimmed to follow the contour of your gum line, with no sharp edges, that can irritate soft tissue.

Fewer appointments

Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer in-practice visits than traditional braces, which is ideal for busy professionals, students, and parents.

Predictable results with digital precision.

3D treatment planning allows your orthodontist to visualise the end result before treatment begins, providing transparency and confidence in the process.

Suitable for a wide range of cases.

From mild crowding to complex bite correction, Invisalign can be used for the majority of orthodontic cases when planned by an experienced specialist.

Invisalign Cost in Canberra — What to Expect

The cost of Invisalign treatment in Australia generally ranges from $3,000 to $13,,000, depending on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners required, and the length of treatment. At Supersmile, we believe in transparent pricing — your personalised quote is provided after your initial consultation and includes a detailed breakdown of what is covered. For information about our orthodontic fees and flexible payment plans, visit our treatment costs page.

Several factors influence the final cost of your Invisalign clear aligner treatment:

Case complexity

Minor alignment corrections require fewer aligners and shorter treatment times than comprehensive cases involving bite correction, rotations, or extractions.

Treatment duration

Most Invisalign treatments range from six to eighteen months, with longer treatments naturally involving higher costs.

Refinements

Some cases require additional aligners to fine-tune the result. At Supersmile, refinements are part of our commitment to achieving an exceptional outcome for every patient.

Health fund rebates

If you have private health insurance with orthodontic cover, you may be eligible for a partial rebate. We recommend checking your policy details or contacting your fund directly. The Australian Government's privatehealth.gov.au website is a useful resource for comparing orthodontic cover across funds.

Payment plans

Supersmile offers flexible, interest-free payment plans to help make Invisalign treatment accessible and manageable for every budget.

Invisalign vs Braces — Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between Invisalign and braces depends on your clinical needs, lifestyle, and personal preference. Both are effective orthodontic treatments, and both achieve excellent results when planned by a specialist. At Supersmile, we offer multi-coloured and clear braces alongside Invisalign, so your orthodontist will always recommend the treatment best suited to your case — not simply the most popular option.

Factor	Invisalign Aligners	Metal Braces	Ceramic/Clear Braces
Aesthetics	Virtually invisible and discreet	Visible metal brackets and wires	Less noticeable; blends more naturally with teeth
Removability	Removable for eating and cleaning	Fixed; requires modified brushing and dietary adjustments	Fixed; requires modified brushing and dietary adjustments
Treatment scope	Treats the majority of orthodontic cases	Treats the majority of cases and may offer greater mechanical control for complex bite corrections	Treats many orthodontic cases; suitability depends on complexity
Complex bite corrections	May be less suitable for some highly complex cases	Can provide greater mechanical control	Can provide good control, depending on the case
Appointments	Typically requires fewer in-practice visits	Generally requires regular adjustment appointments	Generally requires regular adjustment appointments

During your initial consultation, your specialist orthodontist will explain which approach — or combination of approaches — will give you the best result for your specific case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign treatments take between six and eighteen months, depending on the complexity of your case. Simple alignment corrections may be completed in as few as three to six months, while comprehensive bite correction can take up to two years. Your orthodontist will provide an accurate timeframe during your initial consultation.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Most patients experience mild pressure or tightness when they switch to a new set of aligners, which is a normal sign that the aligners are working. This sensation typically subsides within a day or two.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign in?

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This protects the aligners from staining and damage, and allows you to enjoy all your favourite foods without restriction.

How much does Invisalign cost in Australia?

Invisalign treatment in Australia typically costs between $3,000 and $13,,000. The final cost depends on your case complexity, treatment duration, and whether refinements are needed. Supersmile offers interest-free payment plans to make treatment affordable. Visit our patient fees page for more details.

Is Invisalign covered by private health insurance?

Many private health insurance policies with orthodontic extras cover provide partial rebates for Invisalign treatment. The rebate amount varies by fund and policy tier. We recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover.

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

Yes. When treatment is planned and supervised by a specialist orthodontist, Invisalign achieves results comparable to braces for the majority of cases. For certain complex situations, your orthodontist may recommend braces or a combined approach.

Can teenagers use Invisalign?

Yes. Invisalign offers a dedicated product line for teenagers called Invisalign Teen, which includes compliance indicators and accommodates teeth that are still erupting. Our orthodontists regularly treat teens with Invisalign and will advise whether it is the right choice during consultation.
