For children and teens
Early orthodontic guidance can support healthy jaw development, improve how the bite functions, and reduce the chance of more complex treatment later. It is not about treating everyone early. It is about timing treatment properly when growth can be used to your advantage.
For adults
Adult orthodontics is often about more than straightening teeth. It can help with alignment, bite balance, long-term tooth wear control, and planning for stable retention. The approach needs to respect gum health, existing dental work and lifestyle, while still achieving a predictable result.

Frequently Asked Questions about Clear Aligners
What are clear aligners and how do they work?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set is worn for a set period and is designed to apply gentle, controlled forces that move teeth in planned stages.
At Love That Smile, we don’t just look at how straight your teeth will look. We assess your bite, tooth position, gum health, and the movements required to reach a stable result. Your plan is then mapped digitally so you can understand the direction of treatment, the likely sequence, and what needs to happen at each stage.
Because aligners are removable, they can be a great option for people who want a discreet approach while keeping brushing and flossing straightforward. The key is that aligners work best when they’re part of a well-planned orthodontic treatment with check-ups to monitor progress and make clinical decisions along the way.
How many hours a day do I need to wear aligners?
Most aligner plans rely on consistent daily wear to keep progress predictable. As a general rule, aligners are designed to be worn for most of the day and night, only coming out for meals, hot drinks, and brushing/flossing. If wear time drops too often, teeth may not track as planned, which can slow treatment and sometimes increases the chance you’ll need refinements.
In your consultation, we’ll talk through what’s realistic with your schedule and give you clear guidance on wear time, how to manage social events, work days, travel, and what to do if you miss hours occasionally. The goal is not perfection every single day, but consistent habits that keep treatment moving safely and efficiently.
What can clear aligners treat and when are braces a better option?
Clear aligners can be suitable for crowding, spacing (gaps), relapse after previous orthodontics, and many bite adjustments, depending on complexity. Some movements are straightforward with aligners, while others are more demanding and require careful planning, specific attachments, or a combined approach.
Braces can sometimes be the more predictable option for complex bite corrections or movements that need stronger control. If we believe braces would give you a safer or more stable outcome, we’ll tell you plainly. Our priority is a result that works long-term, not just something that looks good at the end of a short plan.
How long do clear aligners take and what results can I realistically expect?
Treatment time varies because every case is different. The main factors are the complexity of your tooth movements, what your bite needs, and how consistently aligners are worn. Some patients are aiming for a small alignment correction, while others require a comprehensive bite and alignment plan.
During your consultation and 3D scan, we’ll explain what your case is likely to involve, your estimated treatment window, and what is realistic for your goals. It’s also important to understand that aligner treatment is sometimes completed with a refinement phase. Refinements are not a failure. They’re a normal clinical step in many cases to fine-tune the final result and improve stability.
Finally, long-term success isn’t just about finishing treatment. Retention is a key part of keeping your teeth in their new position. We’ll outline your retention plan clearly so you know what’s required to maintain your result over time.
What does clear aligners cost in Sydney and what does it include?
Clear aligners cost depends on the complexity of the case and the number of stages needed, but most patients fit within a clear range. At Love That Smile, we group cases into simple, moderate, and comprehensive plans so you have an honest guide from the start.
A simple plan typically covers minor alignment or mild relapse. A moderate plan involves more movement and more stages. A comprehensive plan is for full correction and more complex movement patterns, often with closer monitoring and potentially more refinement.
Your fee typically reflects what is involved clinically, such as the time and planning required, the number of aligner stages, whether refinements are likely, and the retention approach recommended. In most cases, the cost includes your orthodontic assessment, 3D scan and digital planning, aligners, scheduled check-ups, and guidance around retention. At your consultation, we’ll confirm which range your case fits into and explain exactly what’s included so you can make a confident decision without surprises.
Does the clear aligners treatment include retention?
Retention is essential because teeth can shift after orthodontic treatment. That’s not unique to aligners, it’s true for any orthodontic approach. A good result is one that stays stable, and retention is how we protect that outcome.
We will outline your retention plan clearly and explain what is included in your treatment fee. If there are options, we’ll talk through the pros and cons so you can choose a plan that suits your lifestyle while supporting long-term stability.
