Invisalign Bentleigh East, Bayside, Melbourne
Thank you for visiting the Invisalign page for Dental & Skin Clinic. Here you will learn about this non-invasive dental solution to align your teeth and see if it may be the right solution for you.
Having straight teeth is part of an improved and beautiful smile. In the past, most people who wanted straighter teeth had to endure the longer treatment of orthodontics with metal braces that can sometimes be uncomfortable.
This can stop many people from straightening their teeth due to the embarrassment of having a mouthful of metal while maintaining their regular job or social activities.
Thanks to modern solutions like Invisalign, you can get the straight teeth you desire with a less invasive and natural-looking treatment. Using clear trays to gradually move your teeth into an ideal position, you can achieve a row of straight and beautiful teeth while most people will not even notice you are wearing them.
Dental & Skin Clinic includes Invisalign as part of our cosmetic dental services and we are certified and experienced to ensure you get the best treatment possible. Feel free to download our price guide, or complete the enquiry form to organise your Invisalign consultation.

How does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign utilises a series of clear trays that fit over your teeth. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks, as it moves your teeth closer to their ideal position until you have reached your goal.
You can take them out to eat and clean your teeth and then put them back when done. You should wear each tray for a total of about 22 hours each day, or as your dentist recommends.
The trays are created perfectly for your teeth using computer imaging, which helps us predict your final outcome.
Once we work together to find the ideal positions for your teeth, we will set up a customised treatment plan for you. You can expect the following with an Invisalign procedure:
First, you will receive an initial exam to ensure there are no hidden cavities or gum disease.
We will take x-rays, dental impressions and any other records needed to get you the perfect Invisalign fit.
We then create a digital scan with a 3-D model of your teeth that helps us create a customised treatment plan.
When you approve of the final outcome of your teeth placement, a series of custom dental trays will be made just for you.
As soon as they are ready, you will come in for a fitting so we can show you how to use and wear your tray.
You will have regular checkups to ensure progress is being made as planned.
The Benefits of Invisalign and Straight Teeth
Straight teeth have more to offer than a winning smile. Crooked teeth can interfere with speech and even cause you to bite your tongue or cheek while eating, not to mention the difficulty in effective cleaning.
Aligned teeth are easier to manage, allow for clearer speech, and can help create a smile that you want to share any chance you get. Not to mention, straight teeth are easier to clean, which means fewer cavities and decay with healthier gums and overall improved oral health.
Invisalign technology can help you realign your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. In some cases, braces may be necessary, but our dental professionals here at Dental & Skin Clinic has the experience to determine which is the best alignment solution for your needs.
Some of the benefits of Invisalign include the following:
Trays are made of clear plastic that is BPA-free, so you know they are safe to wear
Invisalign uses SmartForce technology that customises the tray to the correct movement of your teeth and a great fit for improved comfort
Trays fit right over your natural teeth with a close fit so you can work or go to class with confidence
Eating and cleaning teeth are easy because you can remove the trays temporarily
Invisalign allows more freedom of food choices because you can remove them when eating, unlike metal braces that may restrict foods that are overly sticky or crunchy
More clients feel comfortable with Invisalign since they don’t have the moving parts like traditional braces, which eliminates the need for uncomfortable orthodontic visits
Enjoy sports and other activities, because Invisalign trays are removable so you can take them out when needed and put them back when your event is over

Will Invisalign Work for Me?
Invisalign technology is designed to realign teeth that are out of place. It is best suited for teeth with mild to moderate misalignment and may not be suitable for those whose teeth are severely displaced, such as when a tooth is too high in the gum, or a gap is too large between teeth.
The following are ideal situations for the Invisalign solution:
Minor gaps in teeth
Mildly crowded teeth
Overbites
Underbites
Narrow dental arch
Crossbite
Caring for Your Teeth During Invisalign
As mentioned, the trays should be worn approximately 22 hours each day or according to your dentist’s instructions. While it may seem uncomfortable to sleep with them, most people adjust within about two days. Not wearing them long enough may result in more discomfort with less results.
Caring for your teeth should include the following:
Remove them to eat and drink
We will monitor your progress during treatment, which is why dental visits are important. In addition, we want to ensure no new dental issues arise such as a cavity or decay.
And once your treatment is complete, you will receive a customised retainer to wear for a set amount of time to ensure your teeth maintain their new alignment.
