Invisalign in Perth & Subiaco – Certified Provider
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a teeth straightening treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to apply controlled pressure according to your treatment plan. Over time, they shift your teeth towards their planned position without any brackets or wires.
Invisalign Fast Facts
- Aligners worn 20–22 hours per day

You wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out to eat, drink and clean your teeth. Dentists may recommend Invisalign in Perth to address a range of concerns, including crowding, gaps and bite issues. It doesn’t suit everyone; your dentist will assess your teeth and bite before confirming whether Invisalign is right for you.
Your Invisalign Journey at Dental 359 Subiaco
Consultation
Dr Thomas Munro or your treating dentist examines your teeth and bite and checks whether Invisalign is suitable for you. We discuss what you’d like to change and explain the treatment options, likely costs and what to expect during treatment.
3D Scan & Treatment Plan
We take a digital scan of your teeth using an iTero scanner, so there are no uncomfortable putty trays. Using Invisalign ClinCheck software, we map your teeth and plan how they may need to move.
Aligner Fabrication
Invisalign aligners are custom-made from your approved digital treatment plan. You receive a series of aligners designed to move your teeth in stages. Your dentist checks the fit and explains when to change to each new set.
Wearing Your Aligners
You wear each clear aligner for 20 to 22 hours a day and change to the next set as directed, usually every one to two weeks. Only take them out to eat, drink anything except water, brush and floss. We’ll review your progress and make changes if needed.
Completion & Retention
Once your teeth are in their planned position, you’ll usually need a retainer to hold them there. Teeth can move again after orthodontic treatment, so it’s important to wear your retainer as instructed.
Is Invisalign Right For You?
Invisalign can be an effective method of teeth straightening in Perth if your teeth are crowded, gapped or mildly misaligned, and you are happy to wear the aligners consistently. Leaving the aligners out for long periods means your teeth may not track with the planned movements.
Why You Should Get a Dentist’s Advice on Invisalign in Perth
Some more complex tooth positions or jaw-related problems may be better treated with fixed braces or specialist orthodontic care. Your teeth and gums should also be healthy before beginning orthodontic treatment. Any active decay or gum problems may need attention first. Only a professional assessment can determine Invisalign suitability. So if you’re thinking about teeth straightening, book a no-obligation consultation at Dental 359.
Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
Invisalign and traditional braces are both ways of straightening teeth. The right option depends on your teeth and how you’d prefer to treat them.
Invisalign
Appearance : Clear aligners fitted over the teeth
Removable : Yes, for eating and cleaning
Cleaning : Remove aligners to brush and floss normally
Dietary restrictions : None – aligners are removed for meals
Check-ups : Reviews are scheduled to monitor progress and provide the next trays
Traditional braces
Appearance : Brackets and wires fixed to the teeth
Removable : No
Cleaning : Cleaning requires working around brackets and wires
Dietary restrictions : Some hard or sticky foods may need to be avoided
Check-ups : Regular reviews are needed to monitor and adjust
Neither option is right for 100% of people. Braces still have their place. Your dentist will assess your case and help you decide whether Invisalign, braces or another approach is best.
Invisalign Cost in Perth
The cost of Invisalign in our Subiaco clinic depends on how much movement your teeth need and how long treatment runs. A simple case costs less than a complex one because shorter, simpler tooth movements may involve fewer clear aligners.
We don’t quote online because it wouldn’t be accurate for your situation. The team will give you a full cost breakdown after assessing your teeth and taking detailed scans.

Invisalign Perth – FAQs
Considering Invisalign in Perth? These are some of the common questions we hear from patients considering Invisalign in our Subiaco clinic.
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on how far your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear your aligners. Simpler cases can finish in several months, while more complex ones can run well over a year. Wearing your aligners for the full 20 to 22 hours a day makes a real difference to staying on track. Your dentist will create a treatment guide after your scan and monitor progress along the way, rather than giving a guaranteed completion date.
Invisalign can make your teeth feel tight or a little tender when you start a new aligner. This usually settles as your teeth adjust. It’s a sign the aligner is doing its job and moving your teeth. If an aligner has a sharp edge or something feels off, let us know and we’ll sort it.
You should remove Invisalign trays when you eat, and when you drink anything other than water. Being able to remove your clear aligners means you can generally eat your usual foods without having to work around braces. Brush or rinse your teeth before you pop the aligners back in, and clean them as instructed.
You wear Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink and clean your teeth. Consistent wear is important because each aligner is designed to move your teeth through a planned stage. Leaving your aligners out for too long can affect how well they fit and may change the treatment timeline.
Private health insurance may contribute towards Invisalign in our Subiaco clinic if your extras policy includes orthodontic treatment. The rebate depends on your fund, level of cover, waiting periods and orthodontic limits. Check with your health fund using the treatment information provided after your consultation, so you know what you can claim.
“Clear aligners” is the general term for removable orthodontic trays used to move teeth. Invisalign is a specific brand of clear aligner treatment created by Align Technology. It has been in the market for almost 30 years, inventing the concept of clear aligners and treating more than 30 million people worldwide.
Invisalign clear trays use a proprietary aligner material and digital treatment-planning system, but there are other clear aligner systems. Whichever system you are considering, proper dental assessment, treatment planning and ongoing clinical reviews are important.
