Smile With Confidence: Discover Clear Aligners in Perth

Clear aligners are the latest innovation in straightening teeth. This treatment uses a series of custom-made aligners made from clear, medical-grade plastic. At VDentist Perth, we offer invisible braces in Perth to give our patients confident and straighter smiles without the inconvenience of traditional braces.

Straighten Up: Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces Showdown

Orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth and a misaligned bite, can make smiles unsightly and cause various oral health problems. Traditional metal braces are a popular choice for addressing crowded teeth, but they can be uncomfortable in the mouth. They are also very noticeable, and their metal wires and brackets can be unattractive.

At VDentist Perth, we offer Reveal Clear Aligners, which provide a more comfortable, discreet orthodontic treatment. We use advanced technology to provide quality, invisible aligners for teeth in Perth. The dentists here are well-versed in creating a treatment plan for each patient to give them straight teeth and a more pleasant smile. Contact us today to book a consultation!

Six Orthodontic Woes Clear Aligners Can Tackle

Overcrowding

Clear aligner technology is designed to move the teeth gradually into better alignment, which helps to create space between them and reduce crowding.

Tooth Gaps

Gaps in teeth can trap food and bacteria, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Fortunately, consistently wearing each set of aligner trays will put constant pressure on each tooth and move them closer together. This tooth movement can close the excessive spaces between teeth and improve the smile's appearance.

Overbite

An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap or extend beyond the lower front teeth. Invisible aligners can apply gentle force to each tooth, and the jaw will follow this pressure, which realigns the positions of the teeth and improves the bite.

Underbite

Underbite can cause discomfort in jaw areas and increase the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Fortunately, wearing clear aligners can improve an underbite by moving the lower teeth to make them naturally align behind the front teeth. Addressing this bite problem with invisible aligners can significantly enhance the smile and overall appearance.

Crossbite

Cross bites are when the top and bottom front teeth aren't aligned when the mouth is closed. This bite problem can make it hard to chew properly. One of the options in orthodontics for improving the alignment of the teeth is clear aligners. They can provide the necessary pressure to move the teeth and alleviate chewing difficulties.

Open bite

Another orthodontic problem that clear aligners can address is an open bite. It is a type of malocclusion where the lower and upper teeth don't touch together, which is evident when a person smiles. Wearing removable aligners can help reduce the appearance of an open bite and alleviate excessive pressure applied to the jaws when biting.

The Proper Fit: Is Clear Aligner Treatment Right for You?

Individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues

If you have mild to moderate misaligned teeth, removable aligners can efficiently address these dental issues. During your initial consultation, our team of experienced dentists will evaluate your teeth alignment and determine if our clear aligners in Perth suit your case.

Those who desire a discreet orthodontic option

Clear aligners are fabricated with a translucent and comfortable plastic material. They are virtually invisible in the mouth, unlike conventional braces that have metal brackets. This makes them a good alternative for people who prefer discreet treatment.

Patients committed to wearing aligners consistently

Consistency is crucial to the progress of clear aligner treatments, so most dental professionals consider patients' readiness and compliance when recommending them. Good candidates are individuals who can commit to wearing their removable aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.

People with good oral hygiene habits

Removable aligners may suit you if you practise or are ready to establish good oral hygiene during the treatment process. You must diligently brush your teeth and keep the clear aligners clean. This is particularly essential to prevent dental decay and gum problems.

Individuals who have all their adult teeth

Clear aligners are well-suited for people who have all their adult teeth. Younger patients with still-developing teeth will need to wait until they have permanent teeth. This is important so the changes in the teeth's alignment are not temporary.

Patients without severe jaw discrepancies

This type of orthodontic care may not be recommended for patients with severe jaw discrepancies or those with mandibular and maxillary teeth that are not proportionate. Such cases may require more extensive jaw surgery or other teeth alignment treatments.

FREQUENTLY Asked Questions About Clear Aligners

Got more questions about our invisible braces in Perth? We’ve got you covered! Find out the answers we provided here to some of the common questions we get asked:

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners use ultra-thin plastic aligners to apply gentle force to each tooth to realign their positions. You will need to wear a series of custom-made aligners at specific intervals for continuous and gradual realignment of the teeth with each tray until the desired positions of your dentition are achieved.

How long does treatment with clear aligners usually take?

In most cases, the treatment time for clear aligners may take up to six to twelve months to improve the patient’s teeth positions. The duration can vary depending on the extent of the teeth misalignment. If you have a mild case, you may expect to wear clear aligners relatively shorter than those with severe teeth misalignment.

Do clear aligners hurt?

When you begin wearing your aligners, you may experience some soreness and pressure as your teeth adjust to their new positions. This is normal, and while you may find this uncomfortable initially, the sensation will subside as your teeth adjust and your mouth becomes comfortable with the change.

How often do I need to wear my clear aligners?

Wearing your clear aligners for at least 20 hours each day is highly advised to see the improvements in the treatment. You may only take the trays out when you eat, brush, and floss your teeth. It is important that you follow your dentist’s instructions on how often to wear your clear aligners to achieve your desired results. Otherwise, failure to wear the Reveal Clear Aligners for the recommended hours may extend the treatment time and lessen the improvements you will see.

Can I eat or drink while wearing clear aligners?

While clear aligners are made with strong materials, they are not meant to withstand chewing pressure. You cannot eat while wearing them; otherwise, you may risk damaging your clear aligners and interrupting your treatment process. On the other hand, you can drink water while wearing them, but avoid coloured beverages to avoid staining.

What happens if I lose or damage one of my clear aligners?

You may need to contact your dentist for instructions and to discuss options, even if the damage seems minor. A replacement may be necessary, so you may need to visit the dental clinic for new impressions. You might be advised to wear your previous tray until your new one is ready.

Are clear aligners covered by my health fund?

The cost of clear aligners will depend on the complexity of the patient’s case. Reveal Clear Aligners treatment for minor orthodontic cases may start at $2,999, while complex issues may cost up to $5,000 or more. The answer to whether a health fund covers clear aligners depends on the level of dental cover included in your private health fund. If you have orthodontic cover, you may be able to claim a reimbursement towards the cost of your clear aligner treatment. It is smart to contact your health fund provider directly to understand your policy and know the extent of dental cover available.

How do I clean and maintain my clear aligners?

Here are the following ways to keep your clear aligners clean:

Rinse your invisible aligners with water each time you take them out for eating.
Brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush. It’s better if you have a separate toothbrush for them.
Use gentle strokes to remove debris and saliva that may have built up.
Rinse your aligners thoroughly with water after brushing.
Use non-abrasive and non-coloured toothpaste when cleaning your clear aligners.
To keep them clean, you must also brush and floss your teeth to prevent any food debris from getting stuck in your clear aligners.
Store them in clean storage provided by the dentist.

Will wearing clear aligners affect my speech?

The first time you wear your invisible aligners, speaking can feel weird. Your tongue may feel strange and move awkwardly, which can be the reason for a slight lisp when making certain sounds, such as “s”, “sh”, or “z”. This effect will subside as your mouth adjusts, particularly since we offer Reveal Clear Aligners in Perth. They are made with ultra-thin plastic, so you do not need to worry about any major issues with your speech from wearing invisible aligners.

Can clear aligners cause any side effects or complications?

Side effects or complications with clear aligners in Perth are rare. But the following may be included:

Swelling in the lips.
It is common to experience lip swelling when you first start wearing clear aligners, as the lips may not be used to having something foreign in the mouth.
Gum irritation.
In rare cases, the aligners may irritate the gums, which causes them to swell or bleed easily. It might be due to the rough edges or poorly fitting clear aligners.
Cuts on the tongue.
The hard edges of the aligner can cause cuts or wounds on the tongue. However, this is rare and is often caused by improper fabrication.

The dental professionals at VDentist Perth will take precautions seriously and secure the proper fitting of your invisible braces in Perth to prevent complications. If any of these occur, we encourage you to call our team immediately so we can make the necessary adjustments.

How do I know if clear aligners are the right choice for me?

Invisible braces are commonly recommended for teens and adult patients to address orthodontic problems such as crowding and teeth misalignment. If you’re wondering if invisible aligners suit you, please get in touch with VDentist Perth to find out. As a local Reveal Clear Aligner provider, we can offer a comprehensive oral assessment to evaluate whether or not you qualify as a candidate for clear aligners.

What is the difference between Reveal Aligners, Invisalign, and clear aligners?

Invisalign and Reveal Aligners are brands of clear aligners that are both designed to use certain types of plastic to move teeth without metal braces, but there are differences. Invisalign is one of the oldest brands that uses attachments, or tiny tooth-coloured buttons, that are bonded to each tooth for extra grip as the teeth move into new positions.

On the other hand, Reveal Clear Aligners reduces the need for attachments for a less bulky feeling and appearance. Instead, they use materials called ClearWear, which create a precise fit and help the aligners hug the teeth.
