WHAT TYPE OF ISSUES CAN INVISALIGN FIX?
North Ryde Dentistry – Providing Invisalign
Invisalign can treat a huge range of straightening requirements, ranging from very minor tooth movements to much more complex cases
We are an Invisalign Platinum Elite Provider
North Ryde Dentistry offers Invisalign clear aligner treatment for suitable patients. Clear aligners gradually move teeth using a sequence of removable trays.
Aligners are custom-made to a treatment plan. Wear and change them only as directed by your dentist. Proposed movements and outcomes are estimates and may change during treatment.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system used for selected orthodontic concerns. Aligners and attachments may be visible. Discomfort, gum irritation and other orthodontic risks can occur.
Unlike the traditional braces where it is glued to the teeth for the duration of the treatment time, Invisalign are clear trays that you only have to wear for 20 – 22 hours in a day. You can take them off for comfortable eating and drinking, also making it easy to brush and floss every day.
Invisalign costs can vary depending on the complexity of your treatment and the number of aligners required. At North Ryde Dentistry, we offer interest-free payment plans starting from just $25 per week, making Invisalign more accessible for patients seeking orthodontic care.
Your dentist can provide an itemised treatment estimate after assessment. Discuss expected benefits, risks, limitations, maintenance and alternatives before deciding.

How does Invisalign work?
In order for the Invisalign trays to correct the misalignment, a 3D model of your teeth is scanned through. Then working through the digital model, a system of movements and trays are designed to achieve the final alignment.
A digital plan shows proposed movements. It does not guarantee the final tooth positions or treatment time. Review appointments are needed, and additional aligners or other treatment may be required.
For the optimal results please wear the aligners as directed by the dentist. The longer you are without it:
- The more discomfort it will be every time you wear the aligners again
- The teeth may not complete the movement and move back to where they were
- The treatment time is stretched out longer
For the best result we highly recommend wearing the trays as instructed.
Invisalign can address a lot of issues that most people have about their teeth. Dental crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite can be addressed by Invisalign but is very dependent on how much movement is needed. The more movement needed in these cases, the less predictable the results can be.
Teeth shapes are also something that Invisalign cannot fix.
The limitations of Invisalign lie when a wide range of movement is needed or when complex dental conditions are involved. For that, we do recommend traditional braces so that you have a more predictable result.
To know what can be fixed or not, please book in for a consultation with our team of trained dentists to have a discussion about what is best for you.
Orthodontic treatment carries risks even when instructions are followed. These can include discomfort, gum problems, decay, root changes and relapse. Your dentist will discuss risks relevant to your case.
Discomfort varies between people and treatments. Contact the practice if symptoms persist or worsen. Ask your dentist about appropriate ways to manage discomfort.
Braces and Invisalign are two different systems that can handle different situations.
Invisalign is more suitable for simple movements or minor misalignment issues, providing treatment without sacrificing the aesthetics of your smile. It can also be used in severe cases but it may take longer.
In severe cases where multiple complicated dental conditions, and misalignment are present that may require large movements, or strong control then braces will be more suited. Braces may even work faster in these cases as it provides the dentist a good control over the teeth.
This is very dependent on you and your teeth. Contact us at (02) 8090 1102 and our North Ryde Dentistry team will help guide you through what is the best treatment for you.
