If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile but don’t like the idea of traditional metal braces, clear aligners could be the solution. Clear aligners are a series of clear, comfortable aligners that gradually move your teeth into place. They are nearly invisible, easy to remove, and designed to fit naturally into your lifestyle.
Clear teeth aligners can be a great option if you want to:
• Fix crooked or crowded teeth
• Close small gaps between teeth
• Improve mild bite problems
• Straighten teeth without braces
If your case is more complex, we’ll guide you through other teeth straightening solutions and help you find the best option for your smile.
Most clear aligners treatments, including transparent teeth aligners and invisible teeth aligners, take between 6 and 18 months depending on your case.
You may feel gentle pressure when switching to a new transparent aligner, but this is a normal part of the straightening of teeth process and usually eases within a couple of days.
No, you’ll need to remove your aligners before meals. The benefit of clear teeth aligners is that you can enjoy all your favourite foods without the restrictions that often come with traditional braces.
For best results, clear aligners should be worn 20–22 hours daily. This ensures your teeth aligners are working effectively to straighten teeth without braces.

One of the most common questions we hear is: How much does clear aligners cost in Sydney? The cost depends on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Minor adjustments with transparent teeth aligners may cost less, while more complex straightening of teeth can be higher. At your consultation, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs and discuss flexible payment plan options.
Yes, you can drink water while wearing your transparent aligners. However, it’s best to remove them before drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, or alcohol to avoid staining or warping.
To keep your clear teeth aligners fresh and hygienic, rinse them daily and gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Special cleaning crystals or tablets are also available to keep invisible teeth aligners clear and odour-free.
Some patients notice a slight lisp at first when wearing transparent teeth aligners, but this usually disappears within a few days as you adjust to speaking with them.
If you lose one of your teeth aligners, contact us straight away. Depending on your stage of treatment, we may recommend moving on to your next set or ordering a replacement transparent aligner.
For mild to moderate cases, invisible teeth aligners can be just as effective as braces in the straightening of teeth. For more complex concerns, traditional braces may be recommended instead—our dentists will advise you on the most effective treatment.
