Invisalign

Get started with Invisalign Clear Aligners!

Many people desire to have straighter teeth but are held back because of the metal appearance and discomfort of braces. Invisalign, on the other hand, is a series of clear trays that gradually shift teeth into place. Every two weeks a patient will wear a new set of trays that are manufactured to move the teeth towards their ideal position.

We encourage you to book a free no-obligation consultation at our Edmonton office, to see if Invisalign is right for you.

Invisalign does not interfere with your daily life. Unlike traditional braces, there are no food limitations when it comes to wearing Invisalign aligners. Patients simply remove the aligners before eating and then brush their teeth before putting the aligners back in.

Treatable cases

Invisalign treatment is clinically proven to be effective for a broad range of teeth straightening cases, from mild to complex. These are some common concerns doctors treat with Invisalign clear aligners:

• Gapped teeth
• Open Bite
• Overbite
• Crossbite
• Overly Crowded
• Underbite

Why would I want Invisalign?

Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are free from intrusive metals and wires, making them more comfortable to wear than traditional braces and which also means that less time needs to be spent coming in for adjustments.

How does Invisalign work?

You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to brush, floss, eat, and drink anything other than water. As you advance your aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, day by day, week by week — until they have straightened to their designated final positions.

We will see you about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages about 9 to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from person to person. Please ask us during your orthodontic consultation for more detailed explanations.
