Like our name – it’s really easy. Let’s get started.

EZ SMILE works for many people. There are some instances where it may not be suitable – so the first step is to find out! How? By answering a few simple questions and sending us photos of your smile. It only takes 30 seconds. You will receive your aligners in clearly numbered packets, five stages at a time (approximately 10 – 12 weeks of treatment). Your subsequent sets of aligners will be sent to you every 2 months. We will email you to notify you when to expect the next sequence of aligners one week before delivery.

We recommend that you wear your aligners for 20+ hours a day, and for 2-3 weeks before moving to the next stage aligner. You should only remove your aligners before eating or drinking hot liquids or anything, except water.

EZ SMILE clear aligners are a suitable treatment option for an active lifestyle. However, if you are playing any form of contact or ball sport you should remove them whilst playing.

If you have not been wearing your aligners as prescribed for several weeks you may need to revert to the previous set to get your treatment back on track. Note if you have not worn them for more 8 weeks then you may need to reassess your entire treatment plan.

If you are experiencing difficulty with the fitting of any of your aligners or your retainer, please contact EZ SMILE immediately. You can contact us on 1300 936 400 during business hours or email us at [email protected].

If you lose or damage one of your current aligners, it’s important to immediately start wearing an aligner from the previous set. You should then contact EZ SMILE immediately on 1300 936 400 during business hours to order a replacement. This will incur a $99 fee and will take approximately 14 days from the time of notification. You need to keep wearing the previous aligner until your new one arrives to prevent relapse.

Clear aligners are clear plastic trays that have been moulded to the shape of your teeth. We use these to add small amounts of pressure to your teeth to move them into a new position. A retainer looks the same as an aligner, however it is slightly thicker and it is used to retain the shape of the teeth. A retainer is to be worn full time for 2-3 weeks and then slowly ease to only wearing them at night.
