Invisalign treatment is a modern way to treat dental concerns without impacting your lifestyle. The Invisalign system is a series of clear aligners that are customised just for you and your specific teeth straightening concerns, using advanced proprietary technology. The clear aligners are removable, virtually invisible and gradually move and straighten teeth so you can finally feel confident about your smile.

Five beautyheaven members are trialling Invisalign treatment and we are following their journey from the first appointment to final results. So far, our triallers have had their first consultation. Read their initial reviews below...

“After wanting to correct my crooked teeth for years and years, I finally decided to finally take the plunge and look into Invisalign treatment as a way to address my teeth concerns. Not wanting to go down the metal braces route in my 20s, Invisalign clear aligners seemed like the perfect treatment! After deciding to look into the treatment further, I locked my complimentary consultation in. During my initial consultation, I was walked through exactly what Invisalign treatment could do to correct my teeth, as well as the estimated time frame of my treatment and any other teeth-related procedures I would need to undergo to get my clear aligners. And while I was already pleased with the end result I was promised, I was also given a visual of what my teeth would eventually look like with the help of a 3D scan. This scan showed my progression from my current teeth to what they would ideally look like post-treatment, and this got me even more excited about giving Invisalign treatment a go. With this positive end outcome in mind, I ultimately decided to lock in my treatment, and will be receiving my first set of aligners in a matter of weeks!”

“I'd heard about Invisalign treatment for years but never knew it could be an option for me as I always thought I'd need to go down the braces path, which I never wanted to do. But upon consultation I learnt I could have quite an impressive result after treatment! I currently have quite crooked teeth and an overbite and would love for these to be less noticeable. During consultation the team talked me through the whole process - start to finish and I honestly felt I couldn't be in better hands. I did have to get a tooth taken out before I started, however the team was so accommodating and I just simply needed a new scan afterwards. I'm also so happy they have payment plans as it was a no brainer for me to do the treatment! I can't wait to get my first set of aligners and start my journey to beautiful teeth!”

“Considering being told I couldn’t have Invisalign clear aligners years ago, I was quite nervous about my consultation. However the girls at the clinic were very welcoming and made me feel quite relaxed. I’ve always felt a bit judged when I see the dentist, but these girls just wanted to hear my concerns and didn’t shut me down or make me feel like there was something wrong with me. They were very understanding and friendly. The scanning technology was probably the highlight. They put this toothbrush shaped thing into your mouth and move it along your teeth and it takes a lot of photos to piece your teeth together on the screen. I didn’t even know this technology existed and I was very impressed! Then the simulator shows how the Invisalign clear aligners could hypothetically change my teeth. (Hypothetically because then the orthodontist will review the results and make a more detailed diagnosis and treatment plan). This got me super excited as the girl explained to me how they could fix my teeth. I was given an 18-24 month treatment plan with aligners and IPR. IPR (in my words) is where they polish in between your teeth to just make a little bit more room for your teeth to move. They also had a little video to explain this to me and they assured it me it doesn’t hurt. To hear all these advancements, that weren’t available to me 10 years ago, made me extremely happy. I decided on a payment plan which is quite doable and also was glad to hear there’s no hidden fees or that I’d need to take out a loan with interest to pay for the treatment or ask my parents for the money (as us millennials are known to do haha). For me, I’ve wanted straight teeth for a long time and considering I have already had metal braces, the fact I can get them without having the pain and embarrassment and not much change to my current appearance is really relieving to hear. I’m really excited to start this journey!”

“I first heard about Invisalign treatment a few years ago in high school, when it was really popular. Quite a few of my friends had it and I had always been curious but never took the steps to go and get it done - I'd always heard it was really expensive and was deterred by the time it would take for the process to be complete. I chose Invisalign clear aligners over normal braces as I definitely don't want the noticeable look of braces and want something discreet that I can feel confident wearing in my daily life - in the gym, in public, at work, uni etc. My teeth concern is crooked front and side teeth which have always bugged me when I look back at photos or see myself smile in a mirror. My first consultation was at The Ortho Practice and I was greeted by the extremely lovely staff (shout out to Tristan!) They made me feel really comfortable. I first had to get some photographs taken which was a bit uncomfortable as they had to poke and prod to get the right pictures inside my mouth - but it was all over very quickly. I was then talked through the process very diligently, shown some model aligners and given a quote. I chose to use the payment plan provided which is comprised of paying a couple of thousand upfront and then splitting payments up per month over a 24 month period (mine worked out to a couple hundred a month). This makes it manageable and affordable for me as I am a uni student so only work part time and can't afford to pay the lump sum upfront. It's also interest-free which is awesome!!! Next was my scan appointment. This one was cool! They put a camera all around my teeth and I got to see a 3D image projected onto the screen. It was great to actually see my teeth and see what needed correcting and how it could be fixed. Overall I'm super happy with the starting process and am excited to begin my treatment.”

“So my dentist suggested I try Invisalign treatment to help my dental issues. Having had braces in the past I jumped at the opportunity to be on the Trial Team because 1. The orthodontist must be reputable to be supported by BH and Invisalign Australia and 2. Dental work is SO expensive! My issues are erosion mainly resulting in sensitivity.. there is also an aesthetic issue regarding a couple of front top teeth that were not completely pulled through by the last orthodontist which resulted in uneven smile due to teeth size and gum level. It's been annoying me since my braces were (prematurely) removed and now it is becoming painful... I went to The Ortho Practice for a consultation and photos including a 3d scan. Pretty cool technology! They consulted with my dentist to get the best possible outcome for me. There was a bit of back and forth but the subsidised cost I was to pay as part of the Trial Team was $6500. I chose to pay $3000 up front and monthly installments for the remainder of it over the 11 months I was to use aligners. To be honest I felt a lot of pressure to pay and commit from this practice before my dentist and I spoke and scans were finalised…but I had gone this far so decided to go ahead despite reservations. They will order my aligners and they will be here in five weeks... Really hoping this works and my gum line, tooth length and bite are all corrected as discussed so I can save my teeth! Roll on 30 January!”

I have been considering something just like this for myself. I hate my overbite and have a few teeth I would like to even up. Thanks for all the info on this!

I have considered this in my adult life as you're right, the costs are just far too impractical and my family would never be able to afford braces. So now my teeth are crocked and its been something on my mind for a while

Great to follow the progress of these five Bh members.

Not every family can afford to pay for braces and thus us great for adults wanting to correct their teeth.

I had traditional braces in my younger years. This would of been a great option to have. Both my children will possibly need orthodontic work at some stage this is a good option to keep in mind. Teeth are so expensive!!

I'm not sure if I would classify invisalign as a "beauty" thing... Anyway my friend has it and before eating he has to take it off - he finds it a bit inconvenient because he can't just eat when he wants. It is indeed more invisible than traditional braces though. I wouldn't know he was wearing one until he refused to eat there and then.

I wish I knew this option when I had got braces for my older son. I would have opted for this.

How awesome of BH to cover a chunk of the cost! I too wish I could have had these instead of the standard braces back in the day!

Good luck ladies this process is a big commitment financially and personally. I have been through this twice with my sons and there is a lot more involved than just wearing retainers. The results though are magnificent Xx
