If you’ve avoided teeth straightening because you don’t want visible metal braces, clear aligners offer an alternative worth exploring. Elite Dental Adelaide is proud to be an Invisalign Platinum Provider, meaning our dentists have treated a significant number of Invisalign patients and bring extensive experience in managing a wide range of orthodontic cases.
If you’re curious whether clear aligners could work for you, a complimentary initial consultation is the perfect place to start. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth, bite, and goals, and provide all the information you need to decide what’s right for you.
Traditionally, metal wires and brackets were a common way to move teeth. Clear aligners such as Invisalign® provide an alternative approach.
Invisalign® is a clear, removable aligner system used to move teeth in planned stages. A series of custom-made aligners is worn as directed to guide teeth toward planned positions. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out for eating, drinking and brushing. Invisalign® may be considered for certain tooth-movement goals, including:
Because they’re nearly invisible and can be removed for eating and cleaning, many patients find them easier to fit into daily life than fixed braces. That said, they’re not suitable for everyone. Some cases may require alternative orthodontic approaches. If you’re curious about exploring clear aligner treatment in Stepney, book an assessment at Elite Dental Adelaide today.
Start your Invisalign journey with a full assessment and suitability check through our special initial consultation offer. This includes:
All for just $65 – $80 (normally valued at $400 – $500).
Your Invisalign journey begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Using this scan, we create a 3D model that maps out each stage of tooth movement from start to finish. You’ll see a simulation of your projected results before treatment begins, though actual outcomes depend on your individual response and compliance with wear guidelines.
You’ll receive a series of aligner trays, each worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set. Most patients wear their aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene.
Regular check-ins (typically every 6-8 weeks) let us monitor progress and adjust the plan if needed. Treatment duration varies widely, with simple cases taking anywhere from 6-12 months, while more alignment issues could require 18-24 months of care or longer.
If you are looking to straighten your teeth, it is important to consider the experience of the dentist treating you. While there are many orthodontic treatment providers in Adelaide, choosing Invisalign Platinum Providers such as Elite Dental Adelaide offers the following benefits:
The Elite ‘Platinum Provider’ status is awarded by Invisalign to dentists who have treated a high volume of cases, including a wide range of complex orthodontic conditions. You can rest assured knowing you are in highly experienced hands.
When it comes to your health and aesthetics, you want a clinician with a proven track record of successful treatment outcomes. Our extensive experience has earned us the esteemed Platinum Provider status, a distinction held by only a few clinics.
When treating Invisalign or other orthodontic cases, our goal is more than straight teeth. With extensive experience, we take personalised approach to planning your Invisalign treatment to achieve straighter, healthy and functional teeth in the long term.

As an experienced dentist in orthodontics with titles of Invisalign Platinum Provider and SENIOR MASTER in Fastbraces awarded, Dr Nitish understands how tooth alignment affects overall oral health and function. He brings a calm, methodical approach to orthodontic planning, taking time to explain how Invisalign works, what results are realistic for your case, and what commitment is required from you. If clear aligners aren’t the best fit, he’ll discuss alternative options that might suit you better.
Most patients adjust to wearing aligners within a few days, though you may notice slight pressure or tightness when switching to a new tray. This indicates the aligners are working. Speech may sound slightly different initially, but most people adapt quickly.
You’ll need to remove aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent staining and damage. This means carrying a case with you and finding somewhere to store your aligners during meals.
Oral hygiene becomes especially important. Brush and floss after eating before reinserting aligners to avoid trapping food particles against your teeth. Because aligners are removable, treatment success depends heavily on your commitment to wearing them as directed. Missing even a few hours daily can extend your treatment timeline or compromise results. We’ll discuss compliance expectations during your consultation so you understand the discipline required.
Since no two smiles are alike, your Invisalign treatment cost will reflect the specific treatments and level of detail required. Rest assured, we’ll discuss your options during your consultation and provide a clear, personalised quote before you commit to any treatment.
Payment options are also available. We offer on-the-spot HICAPS claiming and can check your health-fund coverage before treatment. As HCF preferred providers, we accept most HICAPS-supported funds including Bupa, Medibank, HBF, and nib. Eligibility, waiting periods, and fund limits apply. Please bring your membership details.
For larger treatment plans, third-party payment options may be available subject to approval and provider terms.
Like any dental treatment, cosmetic procedures carry risks that vary depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances. These can include sensitivity, discomfort, or reactions to materials.
Results depend on your oral health, bone density, and how well you maintain your teeth afterward. Not everyone is suitable for every treatment, which is why we’ll assess your situation thoroughly and discuss what’s realistic for you before moving forward.
If you’re exploring ways to refine alignment or symmetry, our cosmetic dentists in Stepney can assess and talk through which orthodontic approach (Invisalign or otherwise) fits your specific case, covering treatment duration and investment.
