The Best Way to Straighten Teeth
Straightening your teeth is easier than ever with options like braces or clear aligners. Invisalign is a top choice for many because it’s discreet, comfortable, and uses cutting-edge 3D scans to create custom trays. You’ll start seeing changes in just a few weeks, and some treatments are done in as little as six months. The best part? Invisalign trays are removable, so you can keep your teeth clean and enjoy all your favourite foods without any worries.

For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
While straight teeth contribute to a great-looking smile, they also play an essential role in preventing costly dental and medical issues. It might seem hard to believe, but having properly aligned teeth is crucial for a healthy life.

If any of these conditions sound familiar, it’s time to schedule an appointment with our office for an evaluation of your oral health.
When Is a Good Time to Start?
Whether you’ve been considering teeth straightening for some time or your dentist recently recommended it, starting sooner rather than later is always the best choice. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to experience tooth damage or other health concerns. It’s important to remember that teeth naturally shift as we age.
In a few years, your teeth may be more misaligned than they are now. The more severe the misalignment, the longer and more complex your treatment will be. Getting started early helps you avoid extra time and costs. We offer a range of affordable payment options, and our team can discuss these with you during your consultation.

We’ve helped countless patients not only achieve the smile they’ve always dreamed of but also improve their oral and overall health. A well-aligned smile boosts confidence while reducing the risk of dental and health issues, allowing you to enjoy life with ease.

What Can You Expect Once You Start Your Treatment?
Our main goal is to help patients achieve both a healthy smile and optimal oral health by laying a strong foundation. This means aligning your teeth for proper function and positioning. And remember, age is never a barrier to enjoying the benefits of teeth straightening treatments.
Your Treatment Plan
The process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create your personalized treatment plan. With Invisalign’s advanced software, we can accurately predict how your teeth will move over the course of your treatment. You’ll even get to see a visual preview of how your smile will change week by week. Once the plan is set, Invisalign uses state-of-the-art technology to create your custom aligners.
The First Aligners
When you receive your first set of aligners, we may use small temporary attachments on your teeth to help secure the trays. These attachments are nearly invisible and are removed once your treatment is complete.
Follow-Up Appointments
Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. Gradually, your teeth will shift into their proper alignment. You’ll come in for regular check-ups about every 1-2 months so we can monitor your progress and make sure everything is moving as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign offers more comfort and discretion compared to traditional braces. The clear, custom-fit trays are nearly invisible, making it hard for others to notice you’re wearing them. Unlike braces, Invisalign trays are smooth and don’t cause irritation to the inside of your mouth. They’re also removable, allowing you to take them out for important events like meetings or social gatherings. Additionally, Invisalign applies gentler pressure and shifts fewer teeth at a time, making the overall treatment more comfortable than braces.
Invisalign works by gradually moving your teeth, so while you may experience some pressure or mild discomfort, it’s usually less intense than with traditional braces. The discomfort typically subsides as you get used to each new set of aligners. If you experience significant pain, it’s important to contact us so we can make adjustments if needed.
The length of your treatment depends on how much correction is needed, but most people wear Invisalign for 6 to 12 months. Some individuals may start seeing movement within the first 6 weeks. Keep in mind, the more significant the alignment issues, the longer the treatment may take, regardless of whether you choose Invisalign or braces.
You should clean your trays twice a day. Remove them, brush your teeth, and gently clean the trays before putting them back in. Always rinse the aligners when removing them and avoid leaving them exposed to open air for too long. To keep them fresh, you can also soak them in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals, but avoid using toothpaste as it can damage the trays. We’ll provide detailed care instructions when you receive your aligners.
