Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Tamworth

You've always wanted a straighter smile: crowded front teeth, a gap you hide in photos, or teeth that don't quite line up when you bite down. But fixed metal braces, with brackets, wires, food rules and regular adjustments, don't fit your life as an adult or a self-conscious teenager.

Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. At Oasis Smiles Dental, near Northgate Shopping Centre in Tamworth, you can have your Invisalign treatment at the same practice that looks after your check-ups and cleans.

How Invisalign Works

Each aligner is slightly different from the last and applies gentle, controlled pressure to move your teeth a little at a time. Because the aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, brush and floss, and for special occasions. For treatment to work, wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day.

1. 1Free Invisalign consultation. We look at your teeth and bite, talk about what you'd like to change, and check whether clear aligners suit your case or whether braces would do the job better.
2. 2Digital 3D scan. Our TRIOS digital scanner captures your teeth in 3D, with no messy impression trays. The scan is used to plan each tooth movement and show you a preview of the planned result.
3. 3Your aligners. You receive a series of custom aligners and move to the next set every one to two weeks. Each set moves your teeth a little further.
4. 4Check-ins and retainers. We see you periodically to check progress. When the active treatment is finished, a retainer helps hold your teeth in their new positions.

Advantages of Invisalign

• Discreet: the clear aligners are hard to notice when you're wearing them
• Removable: take them out to eat, brush and floss, so there are no food restrictions
• Comfortable: no metal brackets or wires to rub against your cheeks and lips
• Planned digitally: a 3D scan lets you see your planned tooth movements before you start
• Fewer appointments: usually fewer visits than fixed braces

Invisalign can treat crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. Not every case suits aligners, though. If clear braces or traditional braces would work better for you, we'll tell you at your consultation.

Invisalign Cost and Payment Plans

The cost of Invisalign depends on how complex your case is, how many aligners you need and how long treatment takes. Rather than quote a figure that may not apply to you, we give you a quote after your free consultation and 3D scan, so you know the cost before you decide.

You don't have to pay it all up front. These options can spread the cost:

If your health fund extras cover includes orthodontics, we can process your claim on the spot with HICAPS. See all our payment options and health funds.

Your Family Dentist or an Orthodontist?

Invisalign is provided by both general dentists and specialist orthodontists. Oasis Smiles Dental is a general dental practice: our dentists are not specialist orthodontists, and our team includes practitioners trained in orthodontic treatments.

Having your aligner treatment with your family dentist means your check-ups, cleans and Invisalign appointments happen in one place, with a team that already knows your teeth. We assess every case before treatment starts. If your teeth or bite need care beyond what we provide, we'll explain your options, including seeing a specialist orthodontist.
