Traditionally, braces have been the go-to for orthodontic treatment, often touted as “the most effective” option. At Aalto, we beg to differ.

Clear aligners deliver incredible — dare we say mind-blowing — results. They’re often more affordable, less time-consuming, and a lot less conspicuous than bulky metal braces. No awkward photos, no food traps, and no unnecessary self-consciousness for months on end.

But we know you won’t just take our word for it — so we’ve got the proof. Keep reading to see before-and-after transformations for crowded teeth, underbites, and gaps, and learn why Aalto clear aligners are the modern solution to a confident, healthy smile.


How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Aalto clear aligners use calibrated force to move teeth gradually into their ideal positions. This stimulates your body to remodel bone safely, creating long-lasting alignment.

Here’s the science, simplified:

  • Periodontal ligament (PDL): Connective tissue that anchors teeth to the jaw

  • Osteoclasts: Break down bone where pressure is applied

  • Osteoblasts: Build new bone where teeth are moving into space

Each aligner moves teeth in small, safe increments. You’ll swap to a new aligner every two weeks and wear them 20–22 hours per day, monitored by our orthodontic specialists throughout your treatment.


Clear Aligners Cost

Clear aligner treatment starts at $2,799 AUD upfront, or just $31 AUD per week on a payment plan. Think about how much you spend on coffee — this is your smile’s version of that daily investment, but one that lasts a lifetime.


Before & After: Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth are often hereditary, but don’t worry — clear aligners can correct them beautifully. Beyond aesthetics, correcting crowding reduces the risk of:

  • Cavities and tooth decay

  • Gingivitis and gum disease

  • Uneven wear on teeth


Before & After: Underbite

Underbites might remind you of adorable French bulldogs — cute in dogs, less so in humans. They can cause:

  • Difficulty chewing and speaking

  • Increased tooth wear

  • Jaw discomfort and pain


Before & After: Gaps Between Teeth

Gaps can happen for many reasons: overgrown labial frenums, extra or missing teeth, jaw size discrepancies, or childhood habits like thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting.

Clear aligners can close gaps effectively — but not every case is suitable. Missing teeth from accidents or certain severe conditions may require alternative treatments.


The Aalto Advantage

Clear aligners don’t just transform smiles visually. Patients enjoy:

  • Improved dental hygiene — easier brushing and flossing

  • Boosted confidence — smile wide for selfies, work, and social life

  • Lifestyle-friendly treatment — remove aligners to eat, drink, or brush
