Your smile is one of the first things people notice. When it feels out of alignment, it can affect more than just appearance. At our practice, we understand how much a smile can influence confidence and wellbeing. Many patients hesitate to explore traditional orthodontic treatments like metal braces, as it brings back memories of discomfort or self-consciousness. But times have changed.
Invisalign® offers a modern alternative. Patients across Melbourne and Australia, from teenagers to adults, are opting for this option as it combines effectiveness with comfort and convenience.
If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment but want something subtle and flexible, Invisalign® may be the answer you’ve been waiting for.

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic option that is almost invisible, removable, and designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
Designed to discreetly correct crooked or overcrowded teeth, it uses clear, removable aligners to gently guide your teeth into their ideal position. Almost invisible when worn, these aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces, making them a popular option among adults and teens who prefer a treatment that blends seamlessly into daily life. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit over your teeth without causing any discomfort.
At Dentists of Ivanhoe, we’re proud to offer Invisalign® to our community, helping patients address crooked or overcrowded teeth while continuing to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. If you’ve been looking for a way to achieve a straighter, healthier smile without the wires and brackets, we invite you to consult with our team about your suitability.
Invisalign® treatment works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligner trays are designed to be changed every 1–2 weeks. Every aligner tray applies gentle pressure, gradually moving your teeth into their planned position. Throughout the process, you’ll have regular check-ins with our team to monitor your progress and make sure everything is moving as expected.
These trays can be easily removed, meaning that you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine with ease. Put simply, Invisalign® offers a convenient way to work towards a well-aligned smile while fitting comfortably into everyday life.
Invisalign® treatment involves wearing a series of custom-made clear aligners that gradually guide your teeth into their planned position. Most patients wear each set of aligners for around one to two weeks before progressing to the next stage of treatment.
For Invisalign® to work as intended, aligners are typically worn for 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing. Regular review appointments allow your dentist to monitor progress and make any adjustments where required.
One of the reasons many patients choose Invisalign® is that the aligners fit easily into everyday life. Because they are removable, you can continue enjoying your usual foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine throughout treatment.
Treatment duration varies from person to person depending on the complexity of the case and individual treatment goals. Your dentist will discuss an estimated timeframe during your consultation and explain what you can expect throughout the process.
Invisalign® may be suitable for a wide range of patients looking to address orthodontic concerns with a more discreet treatment option. During your consultation, your dentist will assess whether Invisalign® is appropriate for your individual needs.
Invisalign® may be considered by:
Many adults and teenagers choose Invisalign® because the clear aligners are designed to be less noticeable than traditional braces. This can make treatment a popular option for those seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution.
Invisalign® may be suitable for addressing a range of orthodontic concerns, including crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, crowding, overbites and underbites. The complexity of the case will help determine whether clear aligners are an appropriate treatment option.
Because Invisalign® aligners are removable, many patients find it easier to continue enjoying their usual foods and maintain their regular brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment.
Some patients prefer clear aligners over fixed braces due to their removable design and discreet appearance. Your dentist can explain the differences between available orthodontic treatment options during your consultation.
Successful Invisalign® treatment relies on wearing the aligners for the recommended number of hours each day and attending regular review appointments. Patients who are able to follow these requirements are often well suited to treatment.
Not every orthodontic concern can be treated with Invisalign®. Factors such as the complexity of tooth movement required, oral health, age and individual treatment goals may influence suitability. Your dentist will discuss the most appropriate treatment options during your consultation.
At Dentists of Ivanhoe, we aim to make your Invisalign® experience feel simple, supported and well-guided from start to finish. Here is an outline of what you can typically expect throughout your Invisalign® journey at our Melbourne clinic:
The first step in the Invisalign® treatment process is to have an initial consultation with your dentist at Dentists of Ivanhoe to assess your suitability for the treatment. This will also give you the opportunity to discuss your goals and expectations with your dentist and ask any questions you may have about the treatment.
During this stage, your dentist will take photos and a digital scan of your teeth to help create a customised treatment plan. This information will be used to create a 3D image of your teeth and jaw, which will be used to determine the best course of treatment.
Once the treatment plan has been established, your dentist will place small attachments on your teeth and issue you with your first set of clear aligners. You will wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, before moving onto the next set. The attachments help guide the planned movement of your teeth throughout treatment.
During your treatment, you will need to attend appointments with your dentist every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners. These appointments will typically take between 10-20 minutes and allow your dentist to ensure that your treatment is progressing as expected.
Once your treatment is complete, your dentist will remove the attachments, issue you with a set of retainers, and take final photos to compare with your initial photos. This final appointment will take approximately 60 minutes, and your dentist will provide instructions on how to care for your retainers and maintain your treatment outcome.
The length of each appointment and the duration of the entire Invisalign® treatment may vary based on individual cases.
The Invisalign® treatment presents several benefits that can improve your smile and confidence, including:
The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible and are designed to be discreet and are less noticeable than traditional braces.
Invisalign® aligners are crafted from SmartTrack flexible material, allowing for easy removal and placement, unlike the fixed nature of braces. With Invisalign®, you can indulge in your favourite foods without restriction.
Invisalign® may be suitable for addressing a range of orthodontic concerns in appropriate cases.
While the cost of Invisalign® in Melbourne can vary, it may often be a more affordable option compared to traditional braces, and some dental insurance plans may cover the treatment.
To determine if the Invisalign® treatment is the right choice for you, it is important to consider the following:
By taking these factors into account, you can make an informed decision about the suitability of the Invisalign® treatment for your needs and goals.
Cost is certainly an important factor while considering orthodontic treatment. In fact, it is quite common to find patients searching for ‘cheap Invisalign® Melbourne’ while researching their options.
When considering Invisalign® treatment, it is important to look beyond cost alone and understand the treatment approach, experience of the provider, and ongoing care involved. At Dentists of Ivanhoe, we do just that, providing clear communication, personalised treatment planning and ongoing support throughout treatment.
That being said, the cost of Invisalign® in Melbourne can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners required, and the length of treatment. Simpler cases may require fewer trays and a shorter timeframe, while more complex cases may take longer and involve additional steps.

If you wore braces as a child, you may remember experiencing discomfort inside your mouth. Some patients experience mild pressure or temporary discomfort when changing to a new set of aligners. This is often a sign that the aligners are applying the planned tooth movements. Your comfort is important to us, which is why our dentists will take extra precautions to ensure that your Invisalign® fits snugly over your teeth and inside your mouth.
Invisalign® is suitable for many adults and teens looking to straighten their teeth without metal braces. During your consultation at Dentists of Ivanhoe, we’ll assess your dental needs and confirm whether Invisalign® is the right option for you.
The cost of Invisalign® compared to braces depends on your dental needs and treatment goals. While this may not always be the cheapest option, many patients value the comfort, convenience, and discreet appearance it offers in everyday life.
When you first start wearing Invisalign® aligners, your mouth and tongue may need a little time to adjust. Some patients notice minor changes to their speech during the early stages of treatment, but this often improves as wearing the aligners becomes part of their daily routine.
Aligners should be removed before meals and snacks, as well as when drinking anything other than plain water. This helps keep the aligners clean and reduces the risk of staining or damage. Once you’ve finished eating, it’s a good idea to brush your teeth before placing the aligners back in your mouth.
Invisalign® may be suitable for addressing a range of orthodontic concerns, depending on the complexity of the case. Treatment is commonly considered for concerns such as crowded teeth, spacing between teeth, crooked teeth and certain bite-related issues.
During your consultation, your dentist will assess your smile and discuss whether Invisalign® is an appropriate option for your individual needs and treatment goals.
Yes. Invisalign® aligners are intended to be worn while you sleep and for most of the day. Consistent wear is an important part of treatment, which is why patients are generally advised to remove their aligners only for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.
Teeth can naturally shift over time, even after orthodontic treatment has been completed. For this reason, retainers are commonly recommended following Invisalign® treatment to help maintain the position of your teeth.
Your dentist will explain the retainer options available and provide guidance on how and when they should be worn.
Keeping your aligners clean is an important part of treatment. They can generally be cleaned using cool water and a soft toothbrush, although your dentist may recommend specific cleaning products if required.
When your aligners are not being worn, they should be stored in their protective case. Avoid exposing them to hot water or excessive heat, as this may affect their shape and fit.
There is no specific upper age limit for Invisalign® treatment. Suitability depends more on your oral health, treatment needs and individual circumstances than your age.
Many adults choose Invisalign® as a discreet alternative to traditional braces. During your consultation, your dentist will assess whether Invisalign® is a suitable option for you.
