Benefits of Clear Aligners

1. Virtually Invisible

Each aligner is made from crystal-clear, medical-grade material that’s discreet, comfortable, and barely noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth confidently in everyday life.

2. Custom-Designed for Precision

Every smile begins with a digital 3D scan and simulation. Your treatment is mapped out digitally, showing each movement for predictable, personalised results.

3. Removable and Flexible

Eat, brush, and live freely. Your aligners can be removed during meals, brushing, flossing, and special occasions, giving you flexibility without compromising results.

4. Gentle, Gradual Movement

Each set of aligners applies light, controlled forces to reposition your teeth gradually and comfortably, often with fewer visits than traditional braces.

5. Digital Tracking and Monitoring

With precise digital planning and optional virtual reviews, your progress can be monitored closely to ensure your teeth move exactly as intended.

6. Comfortable and Convenient

Smooth, custom-fit trays eliminate the irritation of metal brackets and wires, offering a more comfortable and refined alignment experience from start to finish.

Results vary between patients. A consultation with a registered dental practitioner is required to assess suitability, discuss risks, and set realistic expectations based on your circumstances. For more treatment and risks information, please visit:

The Clear Aligner Process

Treatment begins with a consultation and digital 3D scan — no messy impressions — followed by personalised planning using orthodontic software that lets you preview your tooth movement. Custom aligners are then precision-made and fitted, with small tooth-coloured attachments applied where needed.

Aligners are changed every 1–2 weeks, with check-in appointments every 6–10 weeks, and most treatments complete within 6–12 months. Once alignment is finished, a custom retainer is provided to maintain your results long-term.

  • I recently had major dental surgery at Altura Cleveland and can't praise, and thank, them enough for their amazing work, care and professionalism. Dr Shaiel, from the first meeting to the final fitting (about 8 visits over a few months) explained everything in layman's terms as to what each treatment would entail, the costs associated with each option and the best options for my final outcome, and the care and time taken to reach that goal was exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Shaiel and his team.

  • I travel 45 minutes to see these ladies, the surgery practice is absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The fact I had a blanket and headphones to watch whatever I wanted on Netflix was a big bonus too. Last appointment I fell asleep, they are so gentle and caring I will never go anywhere else. Best dentist I’ve ever had and I had a few as a kid with braces

Dr Bryan is lovely and will work with you individually on achieving the results you’re after and genuinely wants success for you and your smile. Receptionists are friendly and make you feel very welcome too. At the start of my journey but I have been so happy with their service so far.

Clear Aligner FAQ’s

Clear aligners use a series of custom removable trays to gently shift teeth into alignment, and are virtually invisible compared to traditional braces. They should be worn 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating and drinking, with treatment typically taking 6–18 months. Any discomfort when switching trays is mild and short-lived.

If an aligner is lost, the team can advise on next steps. Retainers are required after treatment to maintain results, and some private health funds may contribute to costs.
