A beautiful, captivating smile will always be one of our greatest assets. Research indicates that a straight, polished smile can boost your happiness and success professionally and romantically.
When your smile is confident and you feel good about it, it will show. In a very real way, the way you carry yourself, your social standing, and opportunities that may not have been otherwise available to you depend heavily on your degree of confidence.
How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign® can be a great option if you are interested in straightening your teeth, and it starts with a consultation in our office. If you are a new patient, your initial appointment will typically include x-rays, a review of your medical history, as well as a discussion with your dentist about your smile goals. All your questions will be answered by your dentist, such as how long the treatment will take and how much it will cost.
At your consultation we will be able to determine whether Invisalign® is right for you and whether you’ll need any pretreatments before starting orthodontics. If the dentist determines Invisalign® is the best option for you, we will schedule your impressions. After we have the impressions, we will send them to the Invisalign® lab so they can create your very own custom aligners.
After your Invisalign® aligners are ready, you will be called and asked to come into our office to pick them up. When you are at the office picking up the aligners we will take the time to teach you more about how to insert your aligners and answer any question you may have before you start using your aligner package. Every few weeks you'll be expected to switch to the next aligner in the series in order to keep on track with your transformation schedule.
Did you know Invisalign® is made of smooth plastic? So now you don't have to worry about scratches on your cheeks or unsightly food particles getting caught in metal wires!
Also, because Invisalign® aligners are clear, you’ll get to enjoy a nearly invisible and super discreet orthodontic treatment. These clear aligners will not draw attention to the fact you're getting dental work done.
When you finish your aligners, your transformation is complete! Following your Invisalign® smile transformation, we provide you with a custom retainer to keep your teeth looking beautiful and straight for years to come. This clear appliance protects against orthodontic relapse, which will protect your smile and investment.
The Benefits of Straighter Teeth
It is often thought that straightening the smile is only for cosmetic reasons, but orthodontic treatment has many other dental advantages as well.
Apart from the fact that they are attractive, straight, even teeth also allow patients to thoroughly brush their teeth without causing any difficulty. The use of Invisalign® clear braces eliminates many of the many potential problems with crooked teeth, including:
Stave off tooth decay
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, especially when there are fewer little spaces where plaque and bacteria can grow and multiply. As well as being easier to brush and floss, straight teeth are less likely to suffer from cavities and have fresher breath as well.
Guard against gum disease
A misaligned bite does not only cause cavities, but it also leads to various other health problems. Crooked teeth are a risk to your gums – gum disease can even invade the very foundation of your dental health. On top of dental health issues, it's been found that people suffering from heart problems and strokes can be linked to gum disease as well. Having straighter teeth will mean it will be easier to keep clean and healthy, meaning you’ll be less prone to disease or infection.
Clear aligners are nearly invisible
There are several aspects of traditional orthodontic treatment that can be unappealing to adult patients, including the unattractive metallic brackets and the uncomfortable wires. In the professional world, very few people want to meet clients or potential employers with their mouths full of metal. Invisalign® braces are transparent, clear aligners that are virtually undetectable. As a result, patients can now straighten their smiles without having to draw attention to their decision to do so.
Fix bite issues
By aligning your bite, you will relieve some of the wear on your teeth that are mainly involved in chewing when your bite is out of alignment. When you have worn teeth, you are more likely to get cavities, infections, or even fracture them.
With the help of Invisalign®, you can correct the following:
- Problems with your bite, including overbite
- Uneven spaces or gaps between your teeth
- Misaligned, overlapping, or twisted teeth
- Properly lining up your front teeth and aligning the "midline"
An aftercare information kit will be provided to you after your treatment is finished.
What’s Involved in a Smile Makeover
When it comes to straightening your smile, Invisalign® can help, but what about other cosmetic issues? You might find that you want a brighter, whiter smile, for example. Are you missing a tooth? Or do you have short teeth or a gummy smile?
Our team can walk you through all the options and help you to build the smile of your dreams.
There are many options available to you if you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, such as:
Tooth-coloured Fillings and Restorations
Talk with our dentist if you have any old silver fillings that you would like to replace with a tooth-coloured option. Also, we offer tooth-coloured crowns and prosthetics in order to give your smile a complete look.
Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding is an excellent way to conceal discoloured, chipped, and other types of defects on your teeth in an inexpensive way. The resin used for bonding is similar to the resin used in tooth-colored fillings.
Dental Veneers
Essentially, a veneer is a thin layer of material that covers the front surface of a tooth. This can be worn teeth, gum to tooth ratio problems, and small gaps between teeth, among many other defects. It used to be that models and celebrities were the only ones wearing veneers. It is our honour and pleasure to offer veneers to our patients, so that you can achieve the celebrity look, close to home.
Professional Teeth Whitening
After you've straightened your smile, it’s time to lift away stubborn stains with our professional-grade whitening treatments. You will no longer have to worry about the upcoming family gathering, that critical job interview, or special date coming up.
Schedule, Comfort and Budget
Depending on your schedule, Invisalign® treatment, and budget, we can arrange these treatments so that they meet your needs. Our goal is always to work with our patients to ensure their comfort, desires and budget are being prioritised.
Investing in Your Smile
A misaligned or crooked set of teeth has a much more consequential effect than just your appearance. It's not just about looking good, it's about investing in good dental health, strong teeth, and a healthy mouth.
A clear brace like Invisalign® can help you achieve the smile you desire without having to endure the hassle of traditional braces. Conventional braces use sharp wires, brackets, and metal to straighten your teeth. With Invisalign® you can get the benefits of a straight smile with a discreet orthodontic journey.
Cost of Investment
Invisalign® starts at $3,000*, but can be more costly depending on the severity of your situation. We encourage you to come in for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for Invisalign® and we can discuss the cost of your aligner package. We also offer monthly payment plans so you can start getting the smile of your dreams for as little as $50/month**.
*The cost of Invisalign® is determined by how many aligners you will need to get the desired result. Please schedule a consultation to learn more.

Can you eat with your Invisalign® aligners?

How long do you have to wear the Invisalign® aligners every day?
Wear your Invisalign® aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. In order to achieve the best results, you should keep them in your mouth as much as possible daily.
Is Invisalign only for teens and young adults?
No, Invisalign® can be used at any age! However, you should come in for a consultation so that we can ensure you are a candidate for Invisalign®.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign®?
Since teeth are still growing in young patients, we usually recommend Invisalign® for older teens and adults. The case cannot be too severe. Invisalign® is a great solution for people with moderately crooked teeth. Candidates for Invisalign® should also be disciplined enough to wear them throughout the entire treatment - you must have the persistence to wear them day after day.
Is wearing Invisalign® painful?
Invisalign® is not painful, but it can make your teeth sore for a short time. The aligner may feel tight or uncomfortable when you are changing to the next aligner – similar to how braces would feel uncomfortable when they get tightened.
What are the results I can expect from Invisalign® aligners?
It may be surprising but research shows that clear aligners like Invisalign® can effectively straighten and align teeth in a shorter time period than traditional braces. Overall, the results from the two types of orthodontic treatments (traditional and clear aligners) are very similar on all measurements.
