Clear Aligners Brisbane Southside
Want straighter teeth without traditional braces? Dentists In Annerley offers SureSmile clear aligner consultations with 3D Primescan imaging, x-rays, a virtual smile preview and clear treatment planning from $99.
Straighter teeth with a discreet, removable option
SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made trays designed to gradually move teeth into a better position. They are popular with adults and teens who want a more discreet alternative to fixed braces.
During your consultation, we assess your teeth, bite, gums and smile goals before discussing whether clear aligners are suitable. If they are, we use digital planning to help map out the movement needed and show what your result may look like.
Clear aligners may suit several common smile concerns
Clear aligners can help many mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Suitability depends on your teeth, bite, gum health and how predictable the planned tooth movement is.
Crowded teeth
Aligners may help create better spacing and alignment where teeth overlap or feel difficult to clean.
Gaps between teeth
Clear aligners may help close selected spaces depending on the cause, bite and tooth position.
Relapsed movement
If teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, aligners may help correct minor relapse.
Bite concerns
Some bite issues may be improved with aligners, while more complex cases may need referral or another option.
What is included in your SureSmile consult?
Your $99 aligner consultation is designed to help you understand whether clear aligners are suitable before committing to treatment.
We assess your teeth, gums, bite and goals, then use digital scanning and imaging to plan your options clearly.
- 30-minute aligner-focused consultation
- 3D Primescan digital scan
- Virtual smile preview where suitable
- Panoramic and lateral cephalometric x-rays
- Clear explanation of suitability, timing and costs
Clear aligners work best when the plan is clear from the start
Clear aligner treatment is not just about wearing trays. The planning stage matters. We need to understand your bite, tooth movement, gum health and whether aligners can achieve your goals predictably.
3D scan
Primescan helps capture a digital model of your teeth without traditional messy impressions in many cases.
Bite assessment
We check how your upper and lower teeth meet so treatment supports function, not just appearance.
Smile planning
We look at tooth position, smile line, crowding, spacing and the cosmetic outcome you want.
Clear next steps
You will understand likely treatment length, costs, wear time and whether aligners are the right fit.
SureSmile clear aligners with dental care behind the plan
Dentists In Annerley combines digital planning, general dental assessment and cosmetic smile planning so your aligner treatment starts with the full picture.
How SureSmile clear aligner treatment works
The exact process depends on your case, but most aligner treatment follows a clear step-by-step pathway.
Initial consult
We assess your goals, teeth, gums and bite to check whether clear aligners may be suitable.
Digital records
Your scan, x-rays and clinical records help build a more accurate picture of your smile and bite.
Treatment plan
We explain the proposed tooth movement, estimated timeline, costs, limitations and expected wear time.
Aligner fitting
If you proceed, your custom aligners are fitted and you are shown how to wear, remove and clean them.
Progress checks
Review appointments help check tracking, comfort and whether your teeth are moving as planned.
Retainers
After treatment, retainers help maintain your result and reduce the risk of teeth shifting again.
Clear aligners are removable, but consistency matters
SureSmile aligners are usually worn for most of the day and night. Many patients are advised to wear them for around 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing.
This is one of the biggest advantages and responsibilities of aligner treatment. You can remove them when needed, but the result depends on wearing them as prescribed.

Clear aligners are popular because they fit around busy adult and teen lifestyles.
- A discreet alternative to fixed braces
- Removable trays for meals and brushing

Not every case is best treated with aligners
Clear aligners are excellent for many cases, but they are not always the best answer. Some complex bite problems, severe crowding or jaw development concerns may require a different orthodontic approach.
If SureSmile is not suitable, we will explain why and discuss next steps. For some patients, that may mean monitoring, referral, restorative care first, or looking at cosmetic alternatives such as veneers or teeth whitening depending on the goal.
Clear aligners
Best suited to many mild to moderate spacing, crowding and alignment concerns where movement is predictable.
Fixed braces
May be better for some complex cases. If braces are more appropriate, we will explain your options clearly.
Cosmetic dentistry
If tooth shape, colour or proportions are the main issue, cosmetic treatments may be discussed separately.
Dental health first
Gum health, decay and bite concerns should be managed before starting clear aligner treatment.
Clear aligner advice for growing smiles
Teenagers may be suitable for clear aligners, depending on dental development, responsibility and the type of tooth movement required.
Teen suitability
We check adult tooth eruption, bite development and whether your teen can wear aligners consistently.
Oral hygiene
Aligners can make brushing easier than fixed braces, but cleaning habits still need to be strong.
Sport and mouthguards
If your teen plays sport, we can discuss mouthguard timing and dental protection during treatment.
Aligners can be part of a bigger smile plan
Sometimes straightening the teeth is one part of a broader cosmetic plan. Once teeth are aligned, some patients consider whitening, edge bonding, veneers or gum-related treatment to refine the final result.
We can help you understand the right order of treatment. For example, aligners usually come before whitening or veneers if tooth position needs to change first.
