No you don't. All you need to do is brush and floss your teeth as we recommend. You will also need to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth before putting your invisible aligners back into your mouth after eating.

You can whiten your teeth at any time while wearing invisible aligners. Most patients do it however after they have completed their treatment.

It is important that your mouth is healthy before you start treatment. Bleeding gums could indicate gingivitis (gum disease) or even periodontitis which affects the jaw bone holding your teeth in place. That is why we ask if you've had a dental check up within 6 months of starting treatment. Alternatively, one of our registered oral hygienists will conduct a dental check in consultation with one our licenced dentists before we  take a scan.

Yes. Your case will be reviewed, planned and approved by a licenced dentist or orthodontist who is experienced in invisible aligner treatment.

You may have a lisp at first while becoming accustomed to wearing your aligners. Most people adapt quickly though and it is rare that speech is impaired for an extended period of time. You may also experience a temporary increase in salivation or dryness of the mouth.

Yes. We send your aligners to you wherever you are and will be able to monitor your progress through an app. You will also be able to communicate with the dentist or orthodontist that planned your treatment.

Invisible aligners can be cleaned with a toothbrush and cold water or with a non-abrasive toothpaste.  Another simple way is to place them into a mixture of cold water and white vinegar every few days for one minute.

Yes, as long as its not a contact sport that requires wearing a protective mouthguard. Also, be aware of not drinking sports drinks with them in place as the sugar could stain the plastic.

Yes. A large number of our patients have come to us to correct previous orthodontic relapses.

No you will not especially need to visit your dentist during your We Smile treatment, apart from regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Yes. You will have direct access to the dentist assigned to you. For general queries or concerns you will also be able to call and speak to one of our hygienists. We want you to have total peace of mind.

After treatment we recommend that you wear your custom made retainer to protect your new smile. This is to prevent your teeth from moving back to their original position which can happen if a retainer is not worn.

It will take up to 21 working days to receive your new invisible aligners once you have approved your treatment plan.

All the dentists and orthodontists that are part of our team are licenced and registered with the Dental Board of Australia and are experienced in invisible alignment treatment. We have qualified dental hygienists and registered dental assistants in our scan studios who are trained to take accurate 3D scans of your teeth. Our team receives ongoing training and monitoring so as to be able to answer your questions and guide you through your treatment.

Because they are transparent and clear. When they are in place on the teeth they are almost invisible and unless someone looks closely are barely noticeable. The aligners that we use are one of the clearest available.

Invisible aligners work by making slight adjustments of up to 2mm to straighten your teeth. You will receive a series of invisible aligners as part of your treatment plan that have been designed by one of our licenced dental professionals. As you progress through the series your teeth will move a little closer to your final smile position.

The average treatment time to correct minor to moderate cases is generally 4-6 months, where invisible aligners are changed approximately every two weeks.

As with any orthodontic treatment, your teeth may be tender during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and is an indication that the treatment is working. If the pain persists please contact us or see your dentist.

You should wear your invisible aligners at least 22 hours per day. They should only be removed when you eat or drink, and can we worn if drinking cold water.

The scan studio is where you do a consultation, checkup and 3D scan of your smile. All up its approx. 45 minutes. Once complete we'll show you your current and predicted future smile.

The 3D scan is what we use to evaluate the current position of your teeth as well as design your new smile. It is similar to conventional impressions or moulds that some dentists still use but easier and more fun.

Our scanners are super quick - a typical scan takes approximately 10 minutes!

Yes. Directly after the scan we'll show you a simulated 3D version of your predicted new smile. We'll then create a customised treatment plan which will be emailed to you. It will show a before and after 3D visualisation of how your teeth will move during treatment. It will also specify the number of invisible aligners needed to achieve your new smile and estimate your treatment time.

They are a series of thin aligners that are transparent and custom-made to fit snugly on your teeth, a bit like a small mouthguard. Over the course of your treatment each aligner will move your teeth in small increments towards achieving your treatment goal.

We Smile invisible aligners are made from a special type of BPA- free plastic. The plastic is a polyurethane resin that has been crafted and tested extensively to make it a superior plastic for clear aligners. It leads the class in strength, clarity, and stain resistance and is thoroughly tested for bio compatibility.

We Smile aligners are completely transparent which makes them hard to notice. You would notice them though if you looked carefully at close range.

It's easy caring for your invisible aligners by following a few simple guidelines. 1) Don`t eat or drink anything while you're wearing them. 2) Place them in a little container when you're not wearing them so you don`t lose them. 3) Brush them with toothpaste and rinse before putting them back into your mouth.

It's recommended that you wear your invisible aligners at least 22 hours a day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking hot beverages or when brushing and flossing your teeth. If not worn as prescribed the corrective process can be halted and within a few hours begin to reverse. It can then take several days for the process to start up again. Wearing your aligners 22 hours a day is key to achieving your treatment goals.

You cannot eat anything while wearing your aligners as food will damage them. Your aligners need to be removed whenever you eat or drink, other than when you drink cold water.
