What are Clear Aligners?
Traditionally, metal wires and brackets were the only way to straighten teeth. The evolution in technology and demand for aesthetics has paved the way for alternative solutions, such as clear aligners.
Clear Aligners are custom-made plastic trays designed to move your teeth into their ideal position gradually. Each set it worn for approximately 1-2 weeks before progressing onto the next tray. Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible and more a lot more comfortable. At Dental Boutique™, we use advanced digital scanning and treatment planning technology to help your clear aligners fit precisely and deliver results and efficiency as possible.
With years of experience straightening our patients’ smiles with clear aligners, we know that it can help address a variety of dental concerns such as the following:
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Gaps
- Open bite
- General alignment

Our 5D™ Smile Design Approach
At Dental Boutique™, we are committed to helping you achieve an aligned smile with our facially guided clear aligner 5 step process – in 5D.
Step 1: Discover
Our cosmetic dentists assess whether Clear Aligners are right for you by understanding your story, smile goals and concerns. We also look at the way you smile, speak and bite, taking note of your unique facial structure and characteristics. This personalised approach allows us to tailor a treatment plan to your needs.
Step 2: Design (3D Scans)
After assessing suitability for Clear Aligner treatment, we complete comprehensive 3D scans of your teeth to commence designing your new smile and creating your unique set of aligners. You’re shown a preview of your predicted end result and smile design through 3D stimulation video technology, allowing you to see your predicted end result before even beginning treatment.
Step 3: Decide
At this stage, once you have decided that Clear Aligner treatment is suitable for you, we will order your custom aligners. Taking into consideration your feedback is crucial before we order your aligners.
Step 4: Deliver
Once your bespoke aligners are carefully fabricated by clear aligners, personally designed by our in-house dentists, you will be able to get started with your treatment. Check-ins will be every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment progress is on track and you are wearing your aligners 20-22 hours per day. We can complete these check-ins either in person or virtually using Virtual-Care technology.
Step 5: Detail
Once you’ve applied your final aligner, your teeth are positioned correctly and you’re completely satisfied with the end result, we can help you refine your smile with additional treatment details. Some treatments that can be considered to complete your smile after clear aligner treatment, include dental bonding, veneers (porcelain or hybrid), teeth whitening and gum recontouring.

Benefits Of Clear Aligner Treatment
Benefits of clear aligner treatment compared to traditional metal braces.
Nearly Invisible Treatment Option
Clear aligners are almost invisible when worn, so you can straighten your teeth and people may not even notice you’re wearing the aligners.
Removable & Flexible To Your Lifestyle
With clear aligners, you can eat, drink and brush with ease, without food restrictions due to the aligners being removable. This also means cleaning is just as per usual, without having to work around the wires. Your aligners can also be conveniently removed for lunch breaks, early morning coffee and for special occasions
Comfortable Fit
Clear Aligners are made out of smooth plastic; therefore, the trays eliminate the need for brackets and wires you’d get with braces. They are also custom-fit to your teeth, so they mould around each tooth.
Predictable Results Before You Start Treatment
With advanced 3D smile stimulations available at Dental Boutique™, you can preview your predicted tooth movement before treatment even begins.
Less Visits, Through Virtual Care
With Virtual- Care technology, which is customised to each individual patient, we can provide faster results with fewer in person appointments and less treatment time for patient comfort, saving you travel time, time off work or time away from your family.
Complex Cases
Clear aligner results can correct even the most complex patient cases including overbites, underbites, crossbites, gappy teeth, open bites, crooked teeth and crowded teeth. Wearing your clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day is the recommended wear time for the all cases.
Clear Aligners vs Invisalign® - What's the Difference?
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the most well-known clear aligner brand. They use a proprietary thermoplastic material called ‘SmartTrack’ for their aligners, which enhances effectiveness and patient comfort. Invisalign is something we are very comfortable using here at Dental Boutique, we are the largest provider in Australia, completing over 1000+ cases per year.
Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners are non-Invisalign brands; they too, offer a virtually clear and removable solution for teeth straightening. Following the same step-by-step, tray-based process, at Dental Boutique, we offer both Invisalign and alternative Clear Aligners to give you the flexibility to choose a treatment option that suits your clinical needs, budget and functional and aesthetic outcome.
Clear Aligners Costs
Clear aligner costs can vary based on the initial arrangement of your teeth, materials chosen, complexity of your case and treatment time required.
