SmileExpress Clear Aligners
in Murwillumbah – Fast, Discreet Orthodontic Treatment

SmileExpress clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and typically more comfortable than metal braces. Treatment time is often faster, usually 6-18 months compared to 2-3 years with traditional braces. You can eat all your favorite foods and maintain better oral hygiene throughout treatment.

SmileExpress treatment typically takes 6-18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Most patients see noticeable improvements within the first few weeks. We'll provide you with a personalized treatment timeline during your consultation based on your specific orthodontic needs.

For optimal results, you should wear your SmileExpress aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is crucial for achieving your desired results within the predicted timeframe. Each set of aligners is typically worn for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next set.

SmileExpress is effective for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues including crowded teeth, spacing issues, mild bite problems, and relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your specific case and determine if SmileExpress is the right solution for you or if alternative treatments would be more suitable.

The cost of SmileExpress aligners in Murwillumbah varies depending on the complexity of your case and treatment duration. Generally, SmileExpress treatment ranges from $3,500 to $7,000, which is often more affordable than traditional braces. We offer flexible payment plans and accept health fund rebates where applicable. During your consultation, we'll provide you with a detailed treatment plan and transparent pricing specific to your orthodontic needs.

SmileExpress is designed to be much more comfortable than traditional braces. While you may experience mild pressure or discomfort for the first few days when switching to a new set of aligners, this is normal and indicates your teeth are moving. Most patients find SmileExpress virtually pain-free compared to metal braces, with no sharp wires or brackets to cause mouth irritation. Any initial discomfort typically subsides within 2-3 days as your teeth adjust to each new aligner.

After completing your SmileExpress treatment, you'll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. We'll provide you with custom-made retainers and specific instructions on how often to wear them. Initially, you may need to wear them full-time, then gradually reduce to nighttime-only wear to keep your teeth in their new positions permanently.
