Orthodontic Options

Let our cosmetic dentists help you to create a stunning smile that you’ll love by gently realigning your teeth and eliminating gaps.

With our on-site digital imaging facility and orthodontic laboratory, we can craft custom-made teeth straightening devices to suit your requirements, while you wait. And we offer same-day replacement retainers.

You’ll save time and money by having all your orthodontic needs taken care of under one roof.

What Are Clear aligners?

At Ivy Dental, we use the very latest in orthodontic treatments to create sensational smiles with minimal discomfort to our patients.

Our clear teeth straightening systems include the ubiquitous Invisalign® and SureSmile brands. Custom-made for your unique requirements in our approved dental laboratory, these clear, removable aligners are much more flexible and less noticeable than other more traditional dental realignment solutions.

Your sensational smile starts here

The Clear Solution

As with all our dental and orthodontic services, our Invisalign® and SureSmile clear alignment treatments begin with an initial consultation where your dentist will assess your requirements using the very latest in digital imaging technology. This is all done on-site with no need for referrals or running around to other providers.

We’ll use specialist technology to show you a visualisation of what Invisalign® and SureSmile clear aligners could do for your smile. If you choose to go ahead with the treatment, we’ll create a series of aligners (which we call “trays”) that will gently align your teeth. You’ll move through the series over time until your teeth are aligned, at which point you’ll switch over to a retainer to ensure the alignment becomes permanent.

The Benefits of Clear Alignment Treatments

The most obvious benefit of these treatments is that they are barely visible to the casual observer, which makes things easier for the patient wearing them. They are also comfortable and easily removable at meal times or for special occasions, photographs and the like.

In addition to being more discreet than regular braces, these invisible braces are just as effective and offer the same benefits as their traditional counterparts, including:

  • Improved oral health since tightly spaced, crowded teeth can be difficult to clean, leading to plaque buildup and bacterial infections.
  • Treatment of poor jaw alignment that can cause dental issues.

Benefits unique to Invisalign® and SureSmile clear aligners include:

  • Near invisibility which makes them cosmetically more appealing than regular braces.
  • Easy maintenance.
  • As they are removed during eating or drinking there are fewer food restrictions than regular braces (where foods tend to get trapped beneath wires).
  • Corrects crooked teeth and helps protect teeth against tooth-grinding.

Similar duration of treatment to regular braces (typically 12 to 24 months).

Pricing

The cost of Invisalign® or SureSmile systems in Australia varies depending on individual dental health goals and the treatment levels required, including the complexity of the alignment, and the number of trays, appointments, and adjustments.

The cost of these treatments typically falls between $6,000 and $9,000.

It’s worth checking with your private health insurance provider to find out whether they will cover a portion of the cost of your clear aligner treatment.

Though less discreet than clear teeth straightening aligners, traditional metal braces are also effective.

Payment Options

The cost of your orthodontics at Ivy Dental is spread across the duration of your treatment. This means that options such as Invisalign can cost as little as $100 per week.

Additional payment options such as Afterpay mean that there are even more reasons to smile.

AfterPay allows you to spread out the cost of your clear alignment treatment even further, with the added benefit of no added interest and no additional fees*.
