Straighter smiles with clear aligners in Brisbane
Clear aligners are a comfortable, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. At Cannon Hill Smiles, we offer Angel Aligner, a trusted clear aligner system used by dentists around the world. If you've been searching for Invisalign in Brisbane, Angel Aligner works in a similar way, with custom-made aligners that gently move your teeth over time.
Our friendly team will walk you through every step, from your first digital scan to your final aligner, so you always know what to expect.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners, often called invisible braces, are a series of thin, transparent trays made to fit snugly over your teeth. Each set applies gentle pressure to move your teeth gradually towards their planned position. You typically switch to a new set every one to two weeks, as advised by your dentist.
Because they're removable, you can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss, then pop them back in. For the best outcome, aligners are generally worn for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Angel Aligner vs Invisalign: What's the Difference?
Invisalign and Angel Aligner are both well-established clear aligner brands, and both use the same core approach: digital treatment planning and a series of custom aligners.
At Cannon Hill Smiles, we've chosen to offer Angel Aligner. Like Invisalign, it uses:
- A digital 3D scan of your teeth, rather than traditional putty impressions
- Computer-guided treatment planning, so you can preview how your teeth are expected to move
- Custom-made, removable aligners designed for comfort and discretion
The right option depends on your teeth, your goals and your budget. During your consultation, we'll talk you through which orthodontic option suits your needs and answer any questions you have about Angel Aligner or Invisalign.

FAQs about Clear Aligners
Clear aligner treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. Mild corrections may be achievable in as little as 6 to 12 months, while more comprehensive treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months.
Our dentist at Cannon Hill Smiles will give you a personalised timeline estimate at your initial consultation based on your specific situation.
Clear aligners are generally far more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience some mild pressure or tightness when you switch to a new set of aligners - this is completely normal and is simply a sign that the aligners are working. Any discomfort typically settles within a day or two of starting each new aligner set.
We offer Angel Aligner, a clear aligner system that works in a similar way to Invisalign. Both use digital planning and custom, removable aligners. We're happy to explain how they compare during your consultation.
Clear aligner treatment costs vary depending on the complexity and duration of your case. At Cannon Hill Smiles, we offer clear aligners at affordable prices and will provide a clear, transparent quote at your initial consultation so you know exactly what's involved before committing to anything. We also offer flexible payment options to make treatment as accessible as possible.
Some private health insurance policies with orthodontic cover may contribute to the cost - check with your insurer, or contact us and our team can assist you with this.
If your extras cover includes orthodontics, you may be able to claim part of the cost. Rebates vary between funds and policies, so it's worth checking with your provider.
