This dentist-directed teeth straightening treatment used by millions of shoppers is half the price of Invisalign
Confidence starts with your smile and achieving straight white teeth can be the key to increasing it.
It's no secret that dentist appointments can be incredibly expensive, but one Aussie-owned brand is determined to provide shoppers with incredible results, for a much more affordable price tag.
Meet Linea, the dental aligners brand, offering effective and safe solutions to straightening teeth.
Used by millions of shoppers in the last 20 years, Linea is a dentist-directed treatment with involves partnering with licensed dentists all over Australia.
Selling clear aligners directly to shoppers, you can score a happier smile than half the price of other aligner brands such as Invisalign.
Kickstart your teeth alignment journey by taking the FREE 30-second online smile quiz to see how Linea can help you achieve your goals.
Clear aligners have transformed the orthodontics landscape over the last two decades, used by millions worldwide to achieve straighter, healthier smiles.
But the clear aligner market has long been split into two models: dentist-directed treatments and at-home kits.
At-home brands surged in popularity during the pandemic due to their convenience, but they've since faced criticism — and even regulatory scrutiny for poor outcomes, medical risks, and lack of professional oversight.
These kits typically rely on DIY impressions without scans, x-rays, or dental involvement, leading to unsafe or ineffective results.
On the other end, dentist-directed brands like Invisalign provide a higher standard of care but come with a hefty price tag, thanks to a distribution model that passes costs down to the consumer.
The result? Identical treatment plans quoted at wildly different prices, depending on which dentist you visit.
Linea bridges this gap. Its hybrid business model offers direct-to-customer pricing while preserving the clinical oversight of licensed dentists. That means consistent, lower costs — without compromising on safety nor quality.
Linea Co-Founder, Nicholas Van Leeuwen explains that Linea's unique business model is the reason the company has so many return customers.
'We cut the middleman out but retain a high level of dentist involvement. It's the best of both worlds. '
The Linea journey starts with a 30-second Smile Quiz to assess your suitability. From there, the experience is seamless, professional, and transparent.
Firstly you receive a consultation and you're matched with one of Linea's partner dentists across Australia for a full assessment, including x-rays, 3D scans, and intraoral images.
Then you're provided with a customised plan which is a tailored treatment created with Linea's dental team, and you'll preview your future smile through a 3D simulation
Your dentist fits your aligners, performs any required procedures (like IPR or attachments), and monitors your progress. The Linea app provides 7-day support, reminders, photo uploads for monitoring, and direct access to Linea's clinical team.
Post-Treatment which is included in your plan are medical-grade retainers and professional teeth whitening, to ensure your results last and your smile shines.
'I had an amazing experience, brilliant customer service every step of the way,' one person wrote.
'The results are beyond my expectations,' another shopper added.

Best EOFY 2025 ute sales in Australia
If there's one thing Aussie drivers love more than a ute, it's a bargain. Thankfully, both are available this month. There are strong end of financial year deals for utes and pick-ups in Australia, whether you're shopping for a household name like the Ford Ranger or shopping for emerging models from new brands. UTES If there's one thing Aussie drivers love more than a ute, it's a bargain. Thankfully, both are available this month. Ford Ranger: Australia's best-selling car is on sale in 2.0-litre Wildtrak trim from $70,000 drive-away, which represents a discount of about $7000. Volkswagen Amarok: VW has slashed the price of the Amarok – the Ranger's mechanical twin – by up to $9000, offering Core models for $53,990 drive-away, and high-end Aventura models for $79,990 drive-away.

Jeep Gladiator: This tough-looking, work-ready version of the Wrangler four-wheel-drive is on sale for $76,000 drive-away in Rucon trim – a staggering $18,000 less than what the same car cost a couple of years ago. GWM Cannon: Folks looking for something green should test-drive the GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra hybrid ute available for $55,990 drive-away, $4000 less than the brand's recent offer for 2024 models, and $9000 less than the car cost a year ago. LDV T60: Buyers on a budget could consider the LDV T60, which starts from $36,990 drive-away for ABN holders, a discount of $4000 – though it only applies to MY23 models. KGM Ssangyong: This Korean marque is rebranding to KGM, and existing Musso stock with the old logo has been discounted by $4000, which means you can snap up a new ute for $36,000 drive-away. That's sharp buying. RAM 1500: At the other end of the spectrum, the last V8-powered RAM 1500 Big Horn examples have been cut by more than $10,000 to $109,950 drive-away. Ineos Quartermaster: Ineos customers who pick up a Quartermaster ute for $118,000 drive-away get $6000 worth of free accessories, including towing hardware, extra switchgear, roof racks and a high-mounted intake for off-roading. Folks who don't love the car can return it within six months and get most of their money back – other than on-road costs and a mileage fee. Nissan Navara: For those looking for a sharp deal on finance, Nissan's 1.9 per cent interest offer on the Navara is hard to beat. BYD Shark 6: BYD is also offering a very competitive 1.99 per cent interest offer on the increasingly popular BYD Shark, the 2024 News Corp car of the year.

Mystery Aussie snaps up $1m Cadillac Celestiq EV
A mystery Aussie has spent as much as $1 million on an opulent electric Cadillac they can never drive on Australian roads. The wealthy enthusiast splashed out on an exotic Cadillac Celestiq that starts from $US358,000 ($549,000), but can double in price with optional extras. Crafted as an American alternative to Rolls-Royce, the Celestiq employs staggering attention to detail to make American luxury cars great again. Cadillac can customise just about every part of the Celestiq – but it can't build the vehicle in right-hand-drive. Aletha Israels, a Celestiq Concierge employed by Cadillac to keep its wealthiest customers happy, said a determined collector flew from Australia to Detroit to customise their dream Caddy. 'The intention was for the vehicle to be delivered to the States for him, not to Australia,' she said. 'A lot of our clients fly in and out in the same day in private jets. 'You're going to start hearing a lot more from our clients this summer, after they start taking delivery of the car.' The manufacturer's most expensive and exclusive machine attracts ultra-wealthy folk who personalise their vehicle at a special 'Cadillac House' in Michigan. Israel said customers can 'easily' double the price of the car with intricate touches fine-tuning its colour and trim. You can match the paint to a favourite nail polish, use timber from the family farm as interior trim, and engrave personal messages on metal elements such as the door sills. The default message on cabin elements is 'standard of the world', a message that reflects Cadillac's ambition to make the world's best cars. Israel said customers can tweak that to their own tastes. 'They could put their own motto, or live laugh love, whatever they want to do,' she said. 'The more bespoke you make it, the more the price point can increase … especially if you want customisations that explore some of the areas that may need some additional testing,' she said. 'Seat belts and steering wheels are the most expensive area of the car to touch. 'One of the requests that we had that was quite pricey was to change the perforation detail on the seats, and because this is the most technologically advanced Cadillac, to change the perforation detail on these seats with heating, cooling and massage, a lot of testing is required.' Israel's team works closely with the millionaire – or billionaire – clients, even working with their staff to make sure the customer's favourite snacks, drinks and flowers are on hand when they come to visit. Cadillac rarely says no to special requests from customers, but occasionally must say 'yes, but …' and explain the consequence of choices that drive up prices or delay delivery. 'I find this level of client wants transparency,' she said. 'So we clearly present to them the options and what their choice would be, but, you know, there's two motivators for them, time and price point. 'Only they can decide how they feel. 'Every client has a Cadillac story, whether it's their parents, their grandfather, someone that they have this connection to, or a classic Cadillac in their collection. 'We're finding ways to help them tell that person's story too, whether it's taking the original license plate number and building it into the sill plates or coming up with very unique ways to have the colour palette reproduced. 'You see a lot of appetite for that right now.'
