Keeping Your New Smile

After treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with after-care retainers and a teeth whitening kit to help maintain your beautiful smile. All of these services are included in the overall treatment fee.

Appointments, NOT disappointments

Our unique orthodontic model, combines in-person appointments with our home monitoring app. That way, we only see you face-to-face when we need to see you, while you also receive the best care during your time away from the clinic.

Your Clear Aligner Questions Answered

General dentists and orthodontists are dental professionals trained to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental problems. However, they have different areas of focus and specialise in different types of treatment.

A general dentist is a primary care provider for the oral health of patients of all ages. They are trained to diagnose and treat various dental problems, including cavities, gum disease, and toothaches. They also provide preventive care, such as cleanings and fluoride treatments, and may perform minor surgical procedures, such as tooth extractions.

An orthodontist is a specialist who focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. They use a variety of treatments, including braces and retainers, to straighten teeth and improve the alignment of the jaw. Orthodontists typically complete a three-year residency program after dental school, during which they receive extensive training in orthodontic techniques and treatments.

You would generally see a specialist orthodontist for treatment if you have a tooth or jaw alignment problem. You would see a general dentist if you have a toothache or other general dental issue. Both general dentists and orthodontists are important members of the dental care team and work together to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.

The length of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the severity of the misalignment and the type of treatment being used. Urban Smile Clear Aligner plans takes an average of 12-18 months to complete treatment.

It's important to note that it's normal for orthodontic treatment to take some time, straightening teeth and correcting misalignment can be a complex process.

In as little as 3 months, Urban Smile Orthodontics can help you see noticeable results. With the clear aligners' aesthetic look, your teeth will appear straighter month by month, ensuring that everyone can witness your progress.

To get the best results from your clear aligners, it is important to wear them for at least 20-22 hours per day. This means you should only remove them to eat, drink, brush your teeth, and floss. You should also remove them for special occasions or activities that may damage or stain the aligners, such as playing contact sports.

It is important to follow your dental professionals instructions on how often to change your aligners and to wear them as directed. Wearing your aligners as prescribed by your orthodontist or Oral Health Therapist will help ensure that you achieve the desired results in the shortest amount of time. 

Clear aligners can have minimal impact on your lifestyle, as they are designed to be discreet and comfortable to wear. The aligners are practically invisible and do not restrict speaking or breathing, so you can continue your normal activities while wearing them.

Clear aligners are designed to move your teeth into the desired position gently. However, it is common for patients to experience some tooth sensitivity and discomfort at the beginning of treatment, as the aligners exert pressure on the teeth to facilitate movement. This sensitivity typically goes away after a few days to a week as your teeth adjust to the aligners.

Clear aligners and braces can both be effective treatments for straightening teeth and improving the appearance of your smile. The type of treatment that is right for you will depend on your specific orthodontic needs and goals.

Whether you choose clear braces or clear aligners in Melbourne, your treatment's success will depend on your orthodontist's expertise and your commitment to following your treatment plan as prescribed. Choosing an experienced and reputable orthodontist is important to ensure the best possible results. When you seek orthodontic treatment from a specialist orthodontist, you receive highly trained and experienced care.
