Clear Aligners & Invisalign in Hurstville

Discreet Orthodontic Solutions for a Straighter Smile

At Forest Road Dental, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile. From traditional braces to clear aligners like Invisalign, we cater to patients of all ages across Hurstville and surrounding areas.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners such as Invisalign, Spark, and Angel Aligners are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces, especially among adults and teens who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth. These removable, transparent trays gently guide your teeth into position without the brackets and wires of conventional braces.

Some of the common concerns clear aligners can address include:

  • Crowded teeth

  • Gaps between teeth (diastema)

  • Overbite or underbite

  • Crossbite or open bite

  • Mild to moderate teeth misalignment

Our Approach to Invisalign/Spark/Angel Aligners in Hurstville

Every case at Forest Road Dental is carefully planned using digital scans—no messy impressions—ensuring a comfortable and accurate fit. Our experienced dentists have a special interest in orthodontics, and will personally monitor your progress to ensure great results.

We use custom-made aligners created by Align Technology (makers of Invisalign), designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner set is changed every 1–2 weeks to gradually shift your teeth into position.

Unlike some clinics that may send patients elsewhere for orthodontic care, we manage your Invisalign treatment in-house—saving you time and providing consistency in care.

Are Clear Braces Really Invisible?

Yes. When worn correctly, clear aligners are barely noticeable—even in close conversations. Unlike braces, they don’t affect speech or get food caught between brackets.

This makes them ideal for professionals, teens, and anyone self-conscious about traditional braces.

Clear Aligners vs Metal Braces: What’s the Difference?

Clear aligners work just like traditional metal braces—but with added comfort, convenience, and discretion. Here’s how they compare:

  • In a healthy bite, your upper teeth should slightly overlap your lower teeth. An overbite occurs when this overlap is excessive. Deep overbites can contribute to:

    • TMJ discomfort and jaw pain

    • Teeth grinding and wear

    • Headaches and muscle tension

    Clear aligners gently move your teeth and bite into better alignment—without bulky metal braces.

  • Crowding happens when there isn't enough space in your jaw for all your teeth. This can result in teeth that:

    • Twist, overlap, or become crooked

    • Trap food and plaque more easily

    • Are harder to clean, increasing the risk of decay or gum issues

    Clear aligners can create space and reposition each tooth for a healthier, straighter smile.

  • A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, instead of outside. This misalignment can lead to:

    • Tooth wear and chipping

    • Gum recession

    • Asymmetrical jaw growth (in kids)

    We use clear aligners to correct both anterior (front) and posterior (back) crossbites with precision.

  • An open bite is when your upper and lower front teeth don’t touch when you bite down, leaving a visible gap. This can:

    • Affect speech or chewing

    • Lead to tongue thrusting habits

    • Cause long-term bite instability

    Clear aligners help close the bite gradually and comfortably.

  • An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. This can cause:

    • Difficulty chewing or speaking

    • Excessive wear on front teeth

    • Jaw tension and discomfort

    Clear aligners help retrain and reposition your bite so the upper and lower jaws work together in harmony.

  • Gaps between teeth—especially between the front two—are common and often caused by:

    • Extra tissue (labial frenulum)

    • Thumb sucking habits

    • Jaw size or tooth spacing mismatch

    Clear aligners can gently close these gaps, improving both function and appearance.

What Dental Issues Can Clear Aligners Fix?

Straighten Your Smile at Forest Road Dental, Hurstville

Clear aligners like Invisalign, Spark, and Angel Aligners aren’t just for improving appearance—they’re powerful tools for correcting a range of orthodontic issues. Whether you're dealing with crowding, spacing, or bite problems, clear aligners can help realign your teeth for better health, comfort, and confidence.

At Forest Road Dental, our dentists are experienced in treating a variety of concerns using clear aligners.

1. Overbite Correction with Clear Aligners

In a healthy bite, your upper teeth should slightly overlap your lower teeth. An overbite occurs when this overlap is excessive. Deep overbites can contribute to:

  • TMJ discomfort and jaw pain

  • Teeth grinding and wear

  • Headaches and muscle tension

Clear aligners gently move your teeth and bite into better alignment—without bulky metal braces.

2. Fixing Crowded Teeth

Crowding happens when there isn't enough space in your jaw for all your teeth. This can result in teeth that:

  • Twist, overlap, or become crooked

  • Trap food and plaque more easily

  • Are harder to clean, increasing the risk of decay or gum issues

Clear aligners can create space and reposition each tooth for a healthier, straighter smile.

3. Crossbite Correction

A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, instead of outside. This misalignment can lead to:

  • Tooth wear and chipping

  • Gum recession

  • Asymmetrical jaw growth (in kids)

We use clear aligners to correct both anterior (front) and posterior (back) crossbites with precision.

4. Treating an Open Bite

An open bite is when your upper and lower front teeth don’t touch when you bite down, leaving a visible gap. This can:

  • Affect speech or chewing

  • Lead to tongue thrusting habits

  • Cause long-term bite instability

Clear aligners help close the bite gradually and comfortably.

5. Underbite Treatment

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. This can cause:

  • Difficulty chewing or speaking

  • Excessive wear on front teeth

  • Jaw tension and discomfort

Clear aligners help retrain and reposition your bite so the upper and lower jaws work together in harmony.

6. Gap Teeth (Diastema)

Gaps between teeth—especially between the front two—are common and often caused by:

  • Extra tissue (labial frenulum)

  • Thumb sucking habits

  • Jaw size or tooth spacing mismatch

Clear aligners can gently close these gaps, improving both function and appearance.
