We make goopless impressions

Invisalign Clear Braces in Melbourne FLOur intraoral scanners use a wand with a tiny camera on it that takes thousands of pictures of your mouth and teeth. The scanner captures all the same areas that are captured with the goop. They are more accurate and faster than the traditional goop. This benefits patients in many ways: it’s precise, you can take breaks in the middle of the impression if you need to, and there’s no mess.

To keep up-to-date on the latest technology and treatment options in dentistry like Invisalign, Dr. Sheldon is committed to continuing his advanced dental education in order to provide the most effective and minimally invasive dental care possible.

How Invisalign works

how invisalign works

Dr. Matt Sheldon will explain the entire Invisalign treatment process during a consultation.

Unlike ordinary metal braces that use brackets, Invisalign uses aligners. These ultra-thin, high-grade, virtually invisible clear plastic trays fit comfortably over your teeth. The smooth aligners are created to move your teeth gradually into their desired position in a step-by-step fashion. By changing your aligners every two weeks at home, you'll have straight teeth predictably.

First we will do a digital scan of your teeth and show you a virtual representation of exactly how your teeth will move during treatment. Then we will send instructions to the lab for the creation of your first set of prescription aligners.

You'll get a new set of prescription aligners approximately every two weeks. With each new aligner, you'll see progress until your teeth are eventually straight. Treatment time usually takes about a year for an adult and one-and-a-half to two years for a teenager. Unlike with ordinary braces, taking care of your aligners is easy. You simply take them out of your mouth when you want to eat or brush and floss your teeth!

Conditions Invisalign can treat

The Invisalign System is an alternative to conventional braces. It is for people with full adult dentition and complete jaw growth, which means many teenagers can also benefit from Invisalign.
