Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired positions without the need for traditional metal braces.

Using advanced 3D digital imaging technology, we can create a personalized treatment plan designed around your smile.

Each set of Invisalign aligners is made to fit your teeth comfortably and is worn for a specific stage of your treatment as your smile progresses.

The features of Invisalign include:

• Smooth plastic construction for enhanced comfort
• A discreet, low-profile appearance
• Options for children, teens and adults
• No adjustment appointments
• Removable for brushing, flossing and eating

Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into their planned positions. Each aligner is designed to make small adjustments to your smile and is worn for a specific period of time before moving on to the next aligner in the series.

Your orthodontist will monitor your progress throughout treatment and provide guidance on when to switch aligners. Over time, this process can help move your teeth into their desired positions.

The cost of Invisalign orthodontic treatment will depend on the severity of your orthodontic condition and how many aligners you'll need to correct it. The more severe or complex the misalignment is, the more aligners you'll need, and the more your treatment will cost.

Concerns about cost are completely understandable. We offer dental financing and flexible payment plans to help you manage your budget for orthodontic treatment.

The number of Invisalign aligners you will need depends on your unique smile and the type of tooth movement required. Every treatment plan is different, so the number of aligners can vary from patient to patient.

During your initial consultation, your orthodontist will assess your teeth and bite to create a personalized treatment plan and provide an estimate of your expected treatment timeline.

Your orthodontist will provide an estimate for the duration of your Invisalign treatment based on your specific case.

The duration of your treatment is ultimately determined by the nature and severity of the misalignment of your teeth or jaw. This determines the amount of movement that will be required to correct the problem, and how many aligners you'll need to accomplish this.

Invisalign aligners are made with USP Class VI medical-grade, high-molecular-weight polyurethane resins that are BPA-free.

Yes! Almost anyone with healthy teeth and gums is a potential candidate for Invisalign.

Many adults these days are opting to undergo orthodontic treatment with Invisalign aligners because of their discreet look, and the convenience of being able to remove them to eat, and to brush and floss.

Yes! Teens certainly can be candidates for Invisalign. In fact, Invisalign offers Invisalign Teen, a product line that is designed to meet the unique needs of teenagers.

Invisalign Teen aligners have features that make them distinct from standard Invisalign aligners. They come with eruption tabs for tweens and younger teens whose adult teeth are still in the process of growing in. These provide space for second molars and prevent them from growing crooked.

Yes, Invisalign has a product line called Invisalign First that can be used on kids as young as seven in some cases.

Compared to standard Invisalign aligners, Invisalign First aligners have a smaller construction to fit baby teeth. They also have an Eruption Compensation feature that allows them to accommodate baby teeth falling out and adult teeth growing in seamlessly.

Invisalign aligners are designed to fit easily into your everyday routine. While it may take some time to adjust to wearing them, many patients appreciate the flexibility they offer compared to traditional orthodontic appliances.

The aligners can be removed when you eat, drink, brush and floss, allowing you to continue enjoying your favourite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene habits.

Made from clear, lightweight material, Invisalign aligners are discreet when worn, so you can continue smiling confidently throughout your treatment.

You'll need to visit the orthodontist every 12 weeks during your Invisalign treatment for a checkup, so that your orthodontist can assess your progress. If any refinements or adjustments are needed for your treatment, they may require some extra visits.

Invisalign aligners don't require any adjustments or tightening – you just switch to a new set of aligners as prescribed by your orthodontist – so you won't need to visit us for these types of appointments during your treatment.

When you first start treatment, your orthodontist will tell you exactly how often you should switch out your aligners. The frequency varies a bit among patients, but it's normally every one to two weeks.

You can remove your aligners to eat, so there aren't really any dietary restrictions while you're undergoing Invisalign treatment.

We recommend taking your aligners out to drink beverages other than water (pop, coffee, juice, etc.) to avoid staining and so that sugars and acids don't get trapped between the aligners and your teeth.

Keeping your Invisalign clear aligners clean is an important part of your treatment. Each time you remove your aligners, rinse them with cool water to help wash away saliva and prevent plaque from building up.

You should also clean your aligners thoroughly each day using a soft toothbrush, clear antibacterial soap, and cool water. Gently brush your aligners to avoid scratching the surface, then rinse away any remaining soap before placing them back in your mouth.

Before putting your aligners back in, make sure your teeth and gums are clean as well. Brushing and flossing after meals can help remove food particles that may become trapped between your teeth and aligners, which can contribute to bad breath, cavities, and gum concerns.

You should store your Invisalign aligners in the case they come with any time they're not in your mouth. This will keep them safe and clean until it's time to put them back in.

Invisalign aligners are removable so you can play sports without worrying about damaging them.

However, keep in mind that in order to keep treatment on track, Invisalign aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day (or as prescribed by your orthodontist), so plan your time carefully.

It's important to invest in a sports mouth guard to protect your teeth while you play sports. Orthodontic treatment causes your teeth to temporarily loosen slightly as they shift into their new positions, and this can make them more susceptible to damage than they normally are.

Yes! Simply remove your aligners to play your instrument, and pop them back in when you're done.

Keep in mind that you must keep your Invisalign aligners in for about 22 hours a day (or as prescribed by your orthodontist), so be sure to plan your practice time carefully.

Both Invisalign and braces are effective orthodontic treatment options that can help create a healthier, more aligned smile. The right choice for you will depend on your unique orthodontic needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

When comparing Invisalign and braces, factors such as the complexity of your treatment, appearance, comfort, cost, and your daily routine can all play a role in determining which option may be a better fit. You can learn more here.

During your consultation, your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment option that is suited to your smile.
