Townsville’s exclusive Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider, offering exceptional expertise and results
At North Queensland Family Dental, we combine the precision of Invisalign with the latest technology to make your treatment more convenient, more efficient, and more personalised than ever before.
Understanding
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment, a cornerstone of our practice, employs a series of transparent aligners to gently guide your teeth into alignment. Unlike braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for convenience, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life. Crafted from precise 3D scans of your teeth, each aligner is meticulously designed with your desired smile in mind.
"Invisalign + Dental Monitoring = Your most convenient smile ever."
We’re one of only a few practices in Townsville to offer Dental Monitoring - a simple, app-based system that allows us to check your Invisalign progress from wherever you are. Using your smartphone and a small scan-box, you can send us regular images of your teeth, meaning fewer trips to the clinic and more flexibility in your schedule.
This real-time connection allows our team to guide you every step of the way. You’ll know exactly when to change to your next aligner, and if something isn’t tracking perfectly—such as an aligner not fitting snugly—we can address it straight away, often without an in-person visit.

What's Involved
Stage 1: Personalised Assessment
During your initial consultation, our cosmetic dentists engage with you to assess the suitability of Invisalign® aligners in realising your desired smile. This phase is an opportunity for us to understand your story and background, smile goals, concerns, and requirements comprehensively. We observe your smiling, speaking, and biting patterns, while also considering your distinct facial features and traits. This holistic approach equips us with the insights necessary to develop a customised treatment strategy tailored specifically to your needs.
Stage 2: 3D Scanning and Smile Preview
Once determined that Invisalign® is the appropriate treatment, we proceed with detailed 3D scans of your teeth, initiating the creation of your custom aligners and setting the course for your journey toward a beautifully aligned smile. Using advanced Clincheck video technology, you are presented with a preview of your anticipated final outcome and smile design. This interactive process enables you to provide feedback and make adjustments as needed, ensuring your complete satisfaction with the eventual result.
Stage 3: Commencement of Custom Aligner Treatment
Upon completion of the meticulous fabrication process by Invisalign®, individually crafted by our in-house dental team, your treatment journey begins. Following the provision of your initial set of aligners, along with your weekly dental monitoring scans, we conduct regular progress assessments every 10-12 weeks throughout the treatment period. At each appointment, you receive the subsequent set of aligners, to be worn consistently for 22-24 hours daily. Upon reaching the final aligner and achieving optimal alignment, ensuring your complete satisfaction with the outcome, you'll confidently embrace your newly aligned smile.

FAQ
What is invisalign?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that uses removable aligners made from transparent plastic, rather than traditional braces. It can help to straighten crooked teeth or correct a misaligned bite.
These aligners are designed by dentists and custom-made using advanced sophisticated computer modelling software. With Invisalign® claiming 25 years of research and data from over 17 million straightened smiles, you are using one of most well-known aligner systems available.
With Invisalign®, you replace your aligners with a new set every week, to gradually move your teeth into their desired position.
Invisalign® treatment won’t disrupt your lifestyle with the ability to remove your trays to eat, brush and floss. And with no metal bands or wires, most people won’t even know you’re wearing them!
Who is suitable for invisalign?
We normally suggest Invisalign® for adults or older teenagers who are concerned about their appearance and don’t like the look of traditional metal braces. Removable aligners can also be a more flexible option that suit certain lifestyles better. We’ll let you know if you’re a candidate during your consultation.
Invisalign® can treat most mild to moderate orthodontic problems, such as:
- gaps between your teeth
- crooked front teeth
- protruding teeth
- rotated teeth.
Even if you have dentures, a dental bridge or missing teeth, you may still be suitable for Invisalign®.
If you have a more severe orthodontic issue with your teeth or bite, we may recommend other treatments such as Smilefast™ braces.
If you have an oral health problem such as gum disease, this will need to be treated before you can start your Invisalign® treatment
How Long does the treatment take?
Like all orthodontic treatments, Invisalign® treatment length is dependent on your individual case. On average, Invisalign® treatment times are comparable to braces, with most patients in treatment for 6-18 months, but it may be more or less depending on how much your teeth or your bite need to be adjusted. We can give you an idea of how long your treatment is likely to take after we assess your condition.
Once you’re in treatment, we’ll arrange appointments every ten-12 weeks at our clinic. This gives us the chance to check your progress and to replace your aligner trays with new sets.
What are the risks?
We advise all possible risks and side-effects associated with Invisalign® treatment during your consultation.
If you have had a lot of previous dental work such as crowns, fillings or even implants, Invisalign® is often our preferred orthodontic option as it is completely safe to wear with these restorations, and can help avoid issues associated with attempting to bond braces to a filling or crown.
It’s normal to feel some discomfort when your aligners are first fitted. If this continues after a few days, or if you experience unusual symptoms or your aligners get damaged, contact us to make an emergency appointment.
How much does Invisalign Cost?
Every smile is different and every treatment is different. Treatment costs usually range from $53-$118/week on an interest free payment plan.
We will assess your situation and the length of treatment to determine a cost estimate prior to commencement.
We’ll make sure you have all the information you need about prices and payment plans when you visit our Townsville clinic for your Invisalign® consultation before commencing treatment.
