What is Invisalign?

Each aligner is custom-made to fit you and provide optimal results. Because of the lack of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign makes oral hygiene simpler and easier than traditional braces.

Our team works with responsible teens and adults looking to fix their mild to moderate alignment and bite issues. We walk with you throughout the treatment, so you know what to expect and are confident in the process. Treatments typically take between twelve-eighteen months. Should you have a more complex or severe dental issue, we will refer you to a trusted local orthodontist. Our Scarborough Invisalign treatments work well if your alignment has relapsed after previous orthodontic treatment or if it's your first opportunity to straighten your smile.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Our team gives you the care you can count on to provide your desired results. While we offer traditional braces as an option, Invisalign is an effective solution for treating mild and moderate conditions. Should we determine you qualify for Invisalign services, some of the dental issues it can solve include:

Crooked Teeth – Misaligned teeth that can hinder the function of your bite and negatively affect the beauty of your smile.
Crowded Teeth – Cramped, overlapped, or twisted teeth that occur when your jaw size cannot accommodate them as they come in.
Overbites – Overlapped teeth that hang over your bottom teeth.
Open Bites – Slanted front and bottom teeth positioned outward, keeping your front teeth from touching.
Crossbites – Misaligned jaws that cause a malocclusion, keeping your teeth from coming together in the proper position.
Underbites – Overlapped bottom teeth that are positioned over your top teeth.
Unwanted Gaps – Separated teeth that cause noticeable gaps in your smile, affecting the beauty and function of your bite.

What to Expect With Invisalign in Scarborough

Once you have been qualified, our team will take comprehensive scans and discuss what you will experience while wearing your aligners. We will send the images to a trusted lab for the fabrication of your new aligners.

Once they are ready, you will come into our office to pick up your trays. At that time, we will review the guidelines for wearing your aligners and what to anticipate from week to week. It is crucially important that you keep your aligners in for at least twenty-two hours a day to achieve maximum results. You'll change to the next set of aligners every few weeks. Four to six weeks into your treatment, we will check to see how you are progressing and if any adjustments are needed.

How to Care for Your Aligners

To achieve the best results possible, it is essential that you take good care of your trays and clean them regularly. Also, remember to remove your trays while eating snacks or a meal to avoid damaging them, and then clean your teeth and your aligners before reinserting. Should you lose a tray or set of aligners, use the previous ones to avoid losing any progress and contact our office as soon as possible.
