Invisalign® in Tweed Heads
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into planned positions. A consultation is required to assess whether this treatment may be suitable for your teeth and bite.
Innovative Technology
The Invisalign system is set apart by the advanced approach used to straighten teeth. With SmartForce Technology, custom-made aligners are made just or you. The clear plastic material goes over your teeth, slowly moving them into the desired position. Nobody will notice you’re wearing them, and you won’t have to interrupt your lifestyle. Only dentists who have trained with Invisalign are qualified to provide treatment.
What to Expect With Invisalign
The first step is to have a consultation with one of our dentists. They can evaluate your teeth and determine if you’re a candidate for Invisalign. If so, we’ll gather information such as scans of your teeth, photos and X-rays. These records will all be used to create your 3D ClinCheck treatment plan and to design your aligners. You will also be shown a digital simulation of the planned tooth movements. The simulation is illustrative only and does not guarantee the final result.
The Invisalign laboratory will produce your aligners, then send them back to the clinic. You’ll pick them up and start wearing them per your dentist’s instructions. A new set of aligners will be worn about every two weeks. We’ll see you at regular intervals at TC Smiles for checkups to make sure that you’re progressing well with treatment.

Why Choose Invisalign?
You might be wondering what advantages Invisalign can offer over other orthodontic systems. There are several aspects of treatment that our patients love:
- Hardly noticeable – You don’t have to advertise that you’re straightening your teeth thanks to the clear, plastic aligners that can’t be seen easily.
- Comfortable – There are no brackets or wires involved, so your gums and the inside of your mouth won’t get irritated.
- Hygienic – Since you can take out your aligners to brush and floss, this orthodontic system won’t jeopardise the health of your teeth and gums.
- Fewer checkups – When you choose treatment with Invisalign, you’ll likely need fewer visits to us than you would with traditional braces.
- View the proposed treatment stages – A digital treatment plan can illustrate the planned tooth movements before treatment begins. The preview does not guarantee the final result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment take?
Can you tell me how long it will take before I start?
In many cases, we can give you a rough estimate of timeline and cost. Digital scans can help us estimate the proposed treatment timeline and illustrate planned tooth movements. Timelines and outcomes may change depending on individual response and treatment progress.
Will I have progress evaluations along the way?
We see you every three months on average.
There may be minimal discomfort for a few days as you start each tray.

The people most likely to notice your trays are people who are looking for it. The clear aligners are designed to be less noticeable than traditional metal braces, although visibility varies.
