6 Munroe Lane, Albany

Central Albany

In the heart of Albany, close to the motorway, an easy drive from across the North Shore and the Hibiscus Coast. The 83, 861 and 917 buses stop on Munroe Lane itself.

Where to park

Free patient parking at the Wilson carpark on Davies Drive, plus on-street parking nearby. Albany sees patients on Wednesdays, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with more clinical hours coming.

Or Newmarket, if it suits

Our Newmarket clinic at Suite 27, 2 Nuffield Street, opposite the station, is open through the week. Switch between the two at any time.

A good fit for teens and adults

Teenagers

A discreet option for teens who will wear them for the full day, and with the 83, 861 and 917 buses stopping at our door, after-school reviews are easy. See invisible braces for teens.

Adults

The most popular adult choice, straightening teeth quietly around work and social life. See clear aligners in Auckland.

Milder cases

Aligners shine for mild to moderate crowding and spacing. For complex bites, braces are often the better tool, and children may need early treatment first.

All-inclusive, with interest-free plans

The first step is a free 20 minute Smile Assessment with our Treatment Coordinator, online or by video call. A full diagnostic work-up, written plan and exact quote is $390.

Albany aligner questions, answered honestly

Do you offer Invisalign in Albany?

Looking for Invisalign in Albany or on the North Shore? We offer specialist-planned clear aligners using the Clarity and Angel Aligners systems, chosen case by case. We treated patients with Invisalign in the past and no longer use that brand. The brand on the tray matters far less than who plans the movement, and at Milk that is always a registered specialist orthodontist.

How much do clear aligners cost in Albany?

Simple cosmetic aligner treatment starts from $7,900 and comprehensive treatment from $9,900, all-inclusive of records, appliances, every appointment, retainers and aftercare. A full diagnostic work-up with a written plan and your exact quote is $390. Interest-free in-house payment plans are available, there is $500 off if you pay in full, and we are a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider.

Where is your Albany clinic and when is it open?

We are at 6 Munroe Lane, in central Albany close to the motorway, with free patient parking at the Wilson carpark on Davies Drive and on-street parking nearby. Albany sees patients on Wednesdays, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and more clinical hours are coming as the clinic gets established. Our Newmarket clinic at Suite 27, 2 Nuffield Street, opposite Newmarket Station, is open through the week, and you can switch between the two at any time.

How long do clear aligners take?

It depends on how far your teeth have to move. Mild crowding or a small gap can be finished in a matter of months, while a comprehensive case usually runs to a couple of years, the same as braces. You wear each set for a week or two, around twenty two hours a day, and we will give you a realistic timeframe in writing before you start.

Are clear aligners right for everyone?

No, and we will say so. Aligners are excellent for mild to moderate crowding and spacing, and for adults who want something discreet and removable. Braces remain more reliable for complex movements and for patients who will not wear a tray for the full day. As a specialist practice we recommend whichever gives the better result, not whichever is easier to sell.
