Matched to your case
Invisalign and other clear aligners straighten teeth with a planned series of clear, removable trays instead of fixed brackets and wires. They are available at our Townsville clinic. Kirwan is our busiest clinic and carries every aligner system we work with, including Invisalign, Spark, Angel Aligners, Clearpath and Aalto.
How It Runs at Townsville
We start with an examination and a scan on our Trios 3 intra-oral scanner, then plan the movement before any aligners are ordered. You wear each set for about two weeks, roughly 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to clean your teeth.
You change trays at home. Reviews are spaced out rather than fortnightly, which is the practical reason aligners suit people here better than fixed braces: there are fewer trips, and the ones you make are short.
More Than One System Available
Townsville carries Invisalign, Spark, Angel Aligners, Clearpath and Aalto. The systems differ in how their attachments are designed and how they handle particular movements, so a case that is awkward for one can be straightforward for another.
Having a choice means the recommendation comes out of your scan rather than out of what we happen to stock. See clear aligners for the full picture.
What to Expect
Mild to moderate crowding, spacing and alignment issues are what aligners handle well. Expect a slight lisp for the first two or three weeks while your tongue adjusts, and some tightness for a day after each new set. Both settle.
The result depends far more on wearing them consistently than on which system is used. If your case is complex enough that aligners are the wrong tool, we will say so rather than sell you a course that will not work.
Cost
The fee is set by how many aligners your case needs, so a short case genuinely costs less than a long one rather than everyone paying one blended price. We confirm the figure in writing once your teeth are scanned and the plan is built. Interest-free payment plans are available, and orthodontic rebates are claimed through HICAPS where your policy allows. There is more on our payment options page.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Invisalign and other clear aligner systems are available at our Townsville clinic at 2/81 Thuringowa Dr, Kirwan, along with the scanning and the reviews. You are not being referred somewhere else for it.
Mild to moderate cases usually run around 6 to 8 months. More significant movement can take longer than a year. It depends on how far your teeth have to travel, which we can only tell you once your teeth are scanned and the treatment is mapped out.
Far less often than with fixed braces. You change aligners at home roughly every two weeks and come in periodically so we can check progress. That is the practical reason aligners suit people outside the major centres: the appointments are fewer and shorter.
