An introduction to Invisalign®
In case you’ve not come across Invisalign® before, let’s take a moment to look at this revolutionary alternative to braces.
Made of specially-designed medical-grade and BPA-free thermoplastic, Invisalign® aligners are removable and virtually invisible, so many people will never realise you’re wearing them.
Over the course of your Invisalign® treatment, you will wear a series of aligners for approximately two weeks each. Each aligner is slightly different, so your teeth are gradually moved to the desired position through the gentle force of the aligner, giving you a straighter smile with less discomfort than regular braces. You will need to visit Modern Orthodontics approximately every six to eight weeks to check on your progress and pick up your next few sets of aligners.
Invisalign® aligners must be worn at least 22 hours a day over about a six to 18-month period. By comparison, traditional braces are worn 24 hours a day for up to two years and cannot be removed.
So how much does Invisalign® cost?
In Australia, on average, Invisalign® will cost between $6,000 and $9,000, but it could start from as little as $1,800. The total cost of your treatment will vary depending on the exact treatment plan required to achieve the results you want and need. At Modern Orthodontics in Melbourne, we offer a free consultation and obligation-free quotation so you can find out if Invisalign® could work for you.

Is Invisalign® covered by private health insurance?
If your private health insurance policy includes orthodontics, then Invisalign® should also be covered to a similar extent as conventional braces. To be certain of this, please contact your health insurance provider directly, as coverage differs from one policy and provider to another.
Is Invisalign® worth the cost?
If you want to straighten your teeth but aren’t keen on the thought of wearing braces and picking food out of them for several years, then yes, Invisalign® is very much worth the cost. In Australia, particularly in Melbourne, Invisalign® has become a popular choice for those seeking a more discreet and flexible alternative to traditional braces.
Because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you want whenever you want without having to worry about how long it will take to clean your teeth afterwards. Going to an event and really wanting to not wear your aligner for a couple of hours? That’s okay too!
Invisalign® users generally find the aligners far less uncomfortable than traditional braces, as the force used to move your teeth is more gentle. Another advantage is how quick and easy they are to clean. Plus, since you receive a new aligner every two weeks, Invisalign® is also a highly hygienic option.
To top it all off, each and every Invisalign® aligner is custom-made using highly advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, ensuring a perfect fit for your mouth and making the entire process more comfortable.
