Clear aligner treatment uses a series of custom made, removable plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing position. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next, gently applying consistent pressure to achieve tooth movement in small, controlled increments.
At Primary Dental, clear aligner treatment is carried out by independent dentists who assess your teeth, bite and overall oral health before recommending any treatment. A personalised treatment plan is developed before any aligners are made or fitted, giving you a clear picture of the process, expected timeframe and costs involved.
Clear aligners are a discreet, removable orthodontic treatment alternative to traditional fixed braces and are suitable for a range of mild to moderate tooth alignment, teeth straightening, and spacing concerns. Suitability is determined on an individual basis following a clinical assessment.

Your dentist will assess your teeth, bite and jaw alignment and discuss your goals. This appointment helps determine whether clear aligner treatment is appropriate for your situation and what outcomes are achievable.
A personalised treatment plan is created, including the number of aligner sets required, an estimated treatment timeframe and a clear explanation of each stage of your treatment.
Your first set of aligners is fitted and you receive detailed instructions on wear time, cleaning, eating and day-to-day management. Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day for best results.
Regular check-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and move you through your aligner sets. Consistent attendance helps keep your treatment on track and on schedule.
Once active aligner treatment is complete, a retainer is provided to maintain your results. Without retention, teeth have a natural tendency to drift over time. Your dentist will advise on the type and wearing schedule recommended for your case.
Our Primary Dental hygienists are highly trained and enthusiastic about educating you on the most effective way to maintain your oral hygiene standards. We do this by making sure we work with you to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
