You are never too old for Invisalign treatment – adults of all ages can achieve beautiful, straight smiles with clear aligners. Many of our patients are in their 30s, 40s and beyond, discovering that modern orthodontic treatment fits seamlessly into their professional and personal lives while delivering the confident smile they’ve always wanted.
Invisalign (Aligners) for Adults
Invisalign for adults is a modern, convenient alternative to traditional braces. It uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently move your teeth into alignment over time.The aligners are worn for 22 hours per day and changed weekly or fortnightly, depending on your treatment plan. You can remove them to eat, drink and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine.

FAQ:
Invisalign offers adults a more discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces with removable clear aligners. While both treatments achieve excellent results, Invisalign allows you to eat normally, maintain easier oral hygiene and smile confidently throughout treatment, making it ideal for professional settings and active adult lifestyles.
Most adult Invisalign treatments take 12-18 months, though your specific timeline depends on your unique case complexity. Adult patients see noticeable improvements often within the first few months of treatment. We will provide you with a personalised treatment timeline during your comprehensive consultation.
Your consultation will include a full orthodontic assessment and a detailed discussion of your treatment options and timeline. We will explain how Invisalign works, address your concerns, discuss costs and payment options, and then create a personalised treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and goals perfectly.
Invisalign costs vary based on treatment complexity and many insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment similarly to traditional braces. Some health funds do offer rebates for adult orthodontic treatment, depending on the level of your cover. We also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable for everyone. During the consultation, our team can discuss the exact costs and help maximise your insurance benefits.
