What is Invisalign?
Since its inception in 1999, Invisalign has been the leading brand of choice when it comes to orthodontic dentistry. For adults and teenagers wanting an alternative to traditional braces to straighten their teeth, Invisalign has become the more popular choice due to its discreet and comfortable nature. Put simply, it is an orthodontic treatment that involves a series of clear, plastic aligners that work to gradually straighten your teeth. Made from BPA-free flexible thermoplastic, Invisalign exerts gentle pressure to move your teeth into your desired position.
Speak with the professional doctors at Toorak Dental Studio to see if Invisalign will qualify for your circumstances. There are a few situations that Invisalign cannot address, which include:
- Severe overbite
- Teeth that are too short or too pegged
- Teeth that are too rotated
- Large gaps

How to fix your crooked teeth
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign, as the name suggests, is designed to make orthodontic treatment almost invisible. Using a range of custom-designed clear aligners that are based on the moulds of your teeth, Invisalign gradually and gently moves your teeth into position with constant use.
The process begins with an initial consultation with our trained Invisalign dentists at Toorak Dental Studio. Here, we evaluate your smile by taking an x-ray, and then create a custom digital treatment plan that demonstrates the gradual transformation of your smile. Once approved by you, we’ll work to create your unique aligners. For best results and in the estimated timeframe that it will take for you to achieve your dream smile, you must wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. As your teeth move into their desired place, you’ll need to change to a new set of aligners when it is advised by your dentist (which can be every one to two weeks) as per the treatment plan.
Invisalign is preferred for those who are looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. As it is almost undetectable when worn, you won’t need to feel self-conscious about wearing your Invisalign.
Invisalign is a removable, clear alternative to traditional braces

Invisalign vs. braces
Braces and Invisalign are both designed to straighten a person’s teeth, improve their smile, and oral health. However, this is where their similarities end. While traditional braces have been around for a long time, Invisalign is a newer option. Braces are also more conspicuous, made of metal brackets that are attached to the outside of a patient’s teeth, and connected with rubber and wire bands.
On the other hand, Invisalign is often referred to as “invisible braces”. While they are not completely invisible, they are the more discreet option for those who prefer to keep a low profile.
Braces are also permanent fixtures that are attached to the teeth for the entire duration of the treatment. They can only be removed by an orthodontist. For Invisalign, they can be easily removed. The wearer will need to exercise control as any progress can be undone when Invisalign isn’t worn for the allotted number of hours per day.
Another factor to take into consideration when it comes to choosing between Invisalign and braces is your oral hygiene. As braces cannot be removed, it may be difficult to clean around your braces. For this reason, some foods should be avoided, such as chewing gum and popcorn. As Invisalign can be removed between meals, you can brush and floss to avoid food getting caught between your teeth.
For those who want quicker results, braces often work faster than Invisalign to close gaps and align teeth. However, this can be attributed to not wearing Invisalign aligners as often as recommended, which can delay the final result. Finally, braces may need adjustments every four to six weeks, while Invisalign’s aligners will need to be changed around every two weeks.

How much does Invisalign cost in Australia?
As expected, the cost of Invisalign in Australia will depend on many factors, such as the complexity of your case and your course of treatment. For a simple treatment plan, you may be looking at an average starting price of $2000, with a maximum cost of $9000.
At Toorak Dental Studio, we are committed to working alongside you to help you get the best treatment plan for you and your pocket. That’s why we’re proud to offer an interest-free payment plan.

Invisalign for kids
The combination of comfort and discreet aesthetics is what makes Invisalign an appealing option for school-aged children and adolescents. Keep in mind that children as young as 10 years of age are eligible for Invisalign treatment, but they must have the majority of their permanent teeth (with the exception of 12-year molars).
The following may be some reasons why you might prefer Invisalign for your child over traditional braces:
- Invisalign is nearly invisible
- It can be removed for eating and oral hygiene
- There is less discomfort
- Fewer office visits and shorter appointments compared to braces
It’s important to note that Invisalign is designed for patients with crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches and not severe bite problems. Speak to Toorak Dental Studio to see if the level of orthodontic issues within your child’s mouth can be addressed with Invisalign.
Dental implants vs. Invisalign
Unsure about whether to choose dental implants or Invisalign for your teeth correction? Depending on what you wish to fix, you may need just one - or both procedures. For example, before you receive dental implants, you may wish to use Invisalign to fix bite issues and major crowding. Then, when your teeth are in their preferred place, you can invest in dental implants.
When it comes to your oral health, don’t leave it to chance. Speak with the dentists at Toorak Dental Studio for a professional opinion.

Invisalign treatment FAQ
Your Invisalign aligners are personalised and moulded to suit the treatment of your teeth. You will be required to wear them for 6-18 months, around 22 hours a day. This is why it’s essential that your Invisalign is comfortable. Your Invisalign aligners will be changed every two weeks, in order to gradually move your teeth to your preferred position. Every 6-8 weeks, we’ll invite you to come back to Toorak Dental Studio to check how things are going.
Cleaning your Invisalign is easy, and should be done twice daily (at the same time as when you brush your teeth). Rinse your aligners under lukewarm water with clear, antibacterial soap and scrub gently with a soft bristle toothbrush. Alternatively, you may wish to soak your Invisalign in warm water and clear antibacterial soap for 20 minutes. Avoid using hot water as the extreme temperature may warp the plastic.
Both Invisalign and braces are designed to help you straighten your teeth, but depending on the nature of your dental problem, one may be better suited for your needs. For example, if your teeth are extremely crooked or uneven, Invisalign may not work for you. However, for those who prefer a more discrete treatment, Invisalign is the better choice due to its near-invisible and removable style. Your dentist can help you make the right choice for your circumstances.
Invisalign can close and fix most types of tooth gaps, whether they are on the top row or the bottom. However, keep in mind that larger gaps may take longer to correct. In these instances, patients may need to wear the Invisalign aligner for up to two years.
Your Invisalign journey will depend on the original state of your teeth and where you want them to be once corrected. If you wear your Invisalign aligners 22 hours a week, then you should see much faster results than if you were to become complacent with wearing them. As a general rule, someone who wishes to fix a small gap between the front teeth can see changes with Invisalign within 10 weeks. On the other hand, crowded teeth and crooked teeth take a longer recovery process.
Yes, malocclusion can be fixed by Invisalign. There are four different types of malocclusion, which are underbites, overbites, open bites, and crossbites. Correcting these dental concerns with Invisalign will not only result in a smile that functions properly but will also reduce the risk of developing future dental issues later down the track.
In comparison to braces, Invisalign is relatively painless. Considering that you are required to wear them for up to 22 hours a day, your comfort is paramount and it is important that they fit snug over your teeth and inside your mouth. Since you may not be used to wearing something over your teeth, you may feel uncomfortable due to the pressure being exerted as they work to realign your teeth. Getting used to this sensation may take some time.
A lot of people assume their teeth are “too crooked” for Invisalign, but the good news is, Invisalign is a great option for straightening severely crowded teeth. In fact, in many cases, it may do a better job than traditional braces. We recommend you book an appointment to see our dentists at Toorak Dental Studio to see if Invisalign is right for you.
Invisalign may be cheaper than braces, depending on what you would like to correct, the duration of the treatment, and the complexity of the situation. However, it is impossible to determine the actual cost without an initial consultation with our dentists at Toorak Dental Studio.
Invisalign fixtures are transparent, making them virtually invisible. They are bonded to the teeth using attachments, which are small, tooth-coloured attachments of dental bonding material. Depending on where these attachments need to be placed, they’re usually noticeable - though not dramatically so, thanks to their tooth colour.
You can make Invisalign attachments less noticeable by avoiding staining food and drinks, and remembering to brush and floss often.
Invisalign treats a wide range of aesthetic and functional orthodontic issues and is a suitable solution for most people. That said, it is not for everyone. Invisible braces are not always the most effective treatment for those with very deep overbites or severely rotated teeth.
Book a consultation with your dentist to determine whether you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If not, we’ll be able to find alternative treatment options to ensure we achieve the best possible results for your smile.
Invisalign falls under the orthodontic category and patients can usually claim something back on their private health insurance, if they have dental extras on their insurance plan. If you don’t have coverage for orthodontic treatments on your extras plan, you might need to wait for 12 months before you can make a claim.
Every policy is different, so it’s best to check with your individual insurance provider to determine if you’ll be covered.
You can transform your smile in a number of ways using Invisalign braces, and one common concern that can be fixed using the treatment is an overbite. This occurs when your top teeth overlap in front of your bottom teeth, and it can be treated with clear aligners (providing the issue isn’t a severe one.)
Invisalign braces are customised to your mouth and slowly move the teeth to a straighter position to gradually diminish overbites.

My day renewing my veneers was a pleasure, the staff were so considerate of my experience with a lovely private room, lunch and pampering that made my day so relaxing. Should have brought my Ugg boots. S. Nicholls2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thankyou for the wonderful smile results, re-aligning my teeth and replacing my 20 year old bridges with new ceramic porcelain bridges. Throughout the process I was treated with care and kindness by the whole team. Dr Julie had great vision and has created a much improved smile with the technical brilliance of Julianna and assisted brilliantly by Jess, and with the helpful front desk and smiling faces of Bri and Elaine. On the 'whole day appointment' between sessions I was treated to lunch from a local cafe and a lovely massage and pedicure by Dana. Dana was outstanding. Emily also did a great job improving the colour, thankyou. The studio is calming, clean and professional. Whilst the lower teeth continue the invisalign process, I'm thrilled with the outcome of the top and how the smile looks now. I hope I haven't missed anyone, as the whole team were amazing to deal with and everyone I interacted with were kind, friendly, professional and supportive. Highly recommend.

Vivien Leong2025-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my crown with another dentist which he did a very bad job, the dentist who did my crown did not bother to check after or at least be a listener! I went back twice about the pain. He told me it could take sometime to settle, telling me to give it more time. A year later, I still feel the pain whenever I eat?? I gave up and went to another dentist. Now, at Toorak Dental Studio, Dr Julie checked, X-ray, and she found the problem. My crown wasn't "placed" properly, that's a gap between my crown and tooth which is why I have the pain over the year. Anyhow, she fixed my problem within a day. The crown had to be replaced, I don't have to wait for weeks (no temporary crown, the clinic can do a 3D crown within the day). I stop going to my old dentist and I decided to give this new dental clinic a try, I did my 1st hygenic checked which I had a little gum issues, the hygenist was friendly and attend to my problems patiently. I also had some tooths sealing and a tooth filling with Dr Julie recently. I'm like most people, dentist and pain is a nightmare to me, but she did a great job.. Brianna Vaughan2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My treatment with Dr Julie Ghaly was undoubtedly the most professional, welcoming and painless experience I’ve ever had and her quality of dentistry is exceptional. As someone who’s typically nervous about dental work, I was amazed by how comfortable she made me feel, especially during the numbing process, which was completely painless. Her attention to detail, kindness and expertise truly stand out. I highly recommend Dr. Ghaly to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dentist! Larissa Wood2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the most gentle, caring, kind, professional, genuine team out there!

Highly recommend Dr Julie and her team xx jiwon kim2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am starting my treatment next week. The TMJ issue only became real to me a few years ago. The headaches were accompanied by ear pain and a clicking sound in my jaw. Just one consultation with Dr Julie Ghaly was eye-opening. I am so excited! Margaret Lech2024-12-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Julie!
