Straightening your teeth no longer has to mean wearing bulky, noticeable metal braces. Clear aligners—often referred to as invisible braces—are a modern, discreet, and highly effective option for people of all ages who want a straighter, healthier smile.

At Renew Dental Lounge, we’re proud to offer clear aligner treatment, including Angel Aligners, a trusted and innovative brand that delivers predictable results with exceptional comfort. Here’s everything you need to know about how clear aligners work, what to expect, and why they might be the right choice for you.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, custom-made trays designed to fit snugly over your teeth. They gently and gradually shift your teeth into alignment over time.

Unlike traditional braces, which rely on brackets and wires, clear aligners are:

  • Nearly invisible – most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
  • Removable – so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without hassle.
  • Comfortable – made from smooth, medical-grade plastic to minimise irritation.

This combination of discretion and flexibility makes them one of the most popular choices for modern orthodontics.

The Clear Aligner Process at Renew Dental Lounge

We believe that transforming your smile should be simple, comfortable, and stress-free. That’s why our clear aligner journey includes:

Complimentary Initial Consultation & 3D Scanning

Your journey starts with a free consultation, which includes a state-of-the-art 3D scan of your teeth. This quick, painless scan provides a detailed digital model of your smile. You’ll be able to visualise your potential results before making any decisions.

Personalised 3D Treatment Plan

Using advanced orthodontic software, we create a customised step-by-step 3D treatment plan. This digital simulation shows how your teeth will move during each stage of treatment and what your final smile will look like.

The best part? No upfront payment is required. You can review your plan and decide whether to proceed in your own time.

Step-by-Step Progression

Once you decide to begin treatment, you’ll receive a series of aligners. Each set is worn for about two weeks, gently moving your teeth into their new positions. Regular check-ins at our clinic ensure your progress is on track, and any adjustments can be made as needed.

Angel Aligners: A Leading Brand in Clear Aligners

While Invisalign is the most recognised brand in clear aligner therapy, Angel Aligners are quickly becoming a preferred choice worldwide.

Angel Aligners are known for:

  • Precision and accuracy – advanced technology ensures excellent results.
  • Discreet appearance – designed to be virtually invisible in everyday life.
  • Comfortable fit – made from materials that adapt closely to your teeth.

They are an excellent option for treating mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues, delivering the results you want without the inconvenience of traditional braces.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Clear aligners are a fantastic solution for both teenagers and adults who want to improve their smile without the limitations of fixed braces. They’re particularly suitable if you’re looking for a:

  • Discreet orthodontic option
  • Comfortable and removable treatment
  • Predictable, digitally guided result

At Renew Dental Lounge, we’ll carefully assess your teeth and help you decide if clear aligners are the right treatment for your unique needs.

Flexible Payment Options to Fit Your Budget

We believe everyone deserves the confidence that comes with a straighter smile. That’s why we provide flexible payment options, including:

  • Afterpay, Humm & ZIP – break your treatment into easy instalments.
  • SuperCare – access your superannuation to fund essential dental care.

Our friendly team will guide you through the options so you can choose what works best for your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners

1. How long does clear aligner treatment usually take?

The length of treatment depends on your individual case. For mild crowding or spacing, treatment can be as short as 6 months. More complex cases may take 12–24 months. At Renew Dental Lounge, we provide a 3D treatment plan so you’ll know your expected timeline before you start.

2. Are clear aligners painful?

Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort when starting a new set of aligners, but this is a sign that your teeth are moving into the right position. Most patients find the adjustment period is very short.

3. How often do I need to wear my aligners?

For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours a day. You’ll only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush or floss your teeth.

4. Can clear aligners fix all orthodontic problems?

Clear aligners are effective for many cases, including crowding, gaps, and some bite issues. However, very complex orthodontic problems may still require traditional braces or a combination of treatments. A consultation at Renew Dental Lounge will determine if clear aligners are right for you.

5. How do I keep my aligners clean?

Rinse them with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush daily. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the aligners. Keeping your aligners and your teeth clean will ensure the best possible results.
