What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that can be used to straighten and correct teeth alignment. Unlike traditional braces that are attached to each tooth and can’t be removed during treatment, clear aligners are transparent and removable, making them a much more convenient and attractive option for many patients.
Our aligners will be attached with white filling material and occasionally clear elastics, to maintain the non-obtrusive look to your teeth. This also provides extra grip, making sure that your retainers don’t slip and you have the best chance for a long-lasting result.
Clear aligners need to be worn for a set amount of hours each day to ensure a successful treatment, typically around 22 hours. Not everyone is suitable for clear aligners. We’ll clinically assess your teeth and facial profile to determine whether you’re a candidate for this type of treatment.
At Fresh Family Dental, we use Smilers Aligners. Smilers is a French brand of aligner that features a crystal-clear aesthetic and precision fit to ensure that your treatment is predictable and that you receive the best results possible.
How Are Smilers Aligners Better Than Other Clear Aligners?

Smilers Aligners make this possible and go even further to deliver a next-generation appliance that makes getting the smile you want easier than ever with:
- Precision fit for predictable treatment outcomes
- Fewer attachments required
- Optimised trim with smooth edges to reduce slippage

What is the Process for Clear Aligners?
01
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation at Fresh Family Dental with one of our highly experienced dentists. We’ll review your dental history and discuss whether clear aligners are the best solution for your smile and alignment needs.
02
3D Scans of Your Smile
Next, we take precise 3D scans of your bite and teeth—no messy impressions—and digital X-rays to assess tooth and bone position. This helps us determine the number of aligners needed and your estimated treatment time.

Custom Aligners Fitted
Once your custom aligners are ready, we’ll ensure they fit perfectly and provide you with all the instructions you need to begin your treatment comfortably.

Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments
Throughout your treatment, we monitor your progress closely and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve the results you want safely and effectively.

Retention
After the teeth are in the correct alignment, we organise a combination of clear removable and fixed wire retainers to hold your smile in its new position and ensure no relapse going forward.

Clear Aligners FAQ – Gold Coast
How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?
The cost of clear aligners will vary from patient to patient. Every mouth is different and every alignment concern varies in degree so the total cost will depend on how many aligners you need and how many months it will take to get your teeth into the desired position.
The best news is that Smilers Aligners have a more affordable lab price than other aligners which we are happy to be able to pass on to you! This makes our clear aligners one of the most affordable aligners you can choose to straighten your teeth. Our fees range from $2500 to $4500 for the initial aligner set, with optional fixed retainers (though highly suggested to maintain your results) for $500.
