Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a modern, discreet option for straightening teeth without the use of traditional braces. At McMahons Point Dental, we provide clear aligner treatment using the Angel aligner system, designed to gradually move teeth into improved alignment over time. 

This treatment may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns, including crowding, spacing or minor bite issues. A consultation is required to determine whether clear aligners are appropriate for your individual needs.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that are worn over your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure to guide your teeth into position step by step.

You will typically wear each aligner for a prescribed period before progressing to the next in the series. For optimal results, aligners should be worn as instructed by your dentist, usually for most of the day and night, and removed only for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.

Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments throughout your treatment.

Your clear aligner journey begins with a consultation, where we assess your oral health and discuss your suitability for treatment. Digital impressions and imaging may be taken to assist in planning.

Once your aligners are ready, we will guide you through how to wear and care for them. You’ll also be informed about the expected duration of treatment, which varies depending on the complexity of your case and your adherence to wearing the aligners as prescribed.

As with any dental treatment, outcomes vary between individuals. It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions and attend scheduled appointments to support the best possible result.

Is Clear Aligner Treatment Right for You?

Clear aligners can be an effective option for many patients, but they are not suitable for every case. During your consultation, we will explain all available options, including their risks and benefits, so you can make an informed decision about your care.

All dental procedures involve potential risks and limitations. Clear aligner treatment may not be suitable in every situation and treatment outcomes can vary between individuals. Potential considerations may include temporary discomfort, speech changes, gum irritation, tooth sensitivity or the need for additional dental treatment during or after orthodontic care.

Your dentist will discuss the potential benefits, risks, expected treatment requirements and available alternatives before treatment to support informed decision-making.
