Do Clear Braces Take Longer Than Metal Braces?

Both clear braces in Mount Waverley and traditional braces can correct orthodontic issues, but they typically work in the same timeframe. So, for example, if you’re dentist says you need one year of orthodontics, choosing a specific option will not change that timeline.

However, there are cases where traditional braces are recommended over clear aligners, especially for complex orthodontic issues. But many people with significant alignment issues find that Invisalign is right for them. Your dentist will talk to you more about this during your consultation.

Clear Braces Near Me

Invisalign may be the most popular orthodontic system on the planet, and our dentists are proud to offer this system to our patients.

Invisalign begins with a conversation and examination in our dental office. This appointment typically includes x-rays. During this evaluation, your dentist wants to hear from you as well. We want to know what your smile goals are and whether Invisalign can help you achieve them. We also welcome your questions.

If you choose clear braces, we take dental impressions. Then we send these impressions to Invisalign so they can create your custom aligners. Next, you wear them in order, changing to the next one and so on, according to your dentist’s instructions. When you finish the aligners, your therapy is complete.  

After therapy, we provide you with a custom aligner to guard your new straight smile against relapse.
