More about Invisalign

Invisalign offers a cutting-edge way to straighten your teeth using a personalized set of aligners made just for you. These trays are crafted from smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible plastic, designed to fit snugly over your teeth. By wearing them, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into their proper positions, following a precise plan laid out by your dentist or orthodontist. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to adjust. Instead, you switch to a new set of aligners roughly every two weeks until your treatment is finished, revealing the confident smile you’ve always dreamed of. The best part? Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.

The Advantage Of Invisalign Over Braces

While the end results may appear the same, a confident, beautiful smile when you stop and actually compare Invisalign to other teeth-straightening options, the advantages become quite apparent. Knowing the pros and cons of each option ahead of time will help you make a more confident decision.

  • Effectively treats a wide variety of cases, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite.
  • Straightens your teeth.
  • Average cost is about $6,000.
  • Allows you to eat whatever foods you enjoy.
  • Lets you remove the device when you want.
  • Lets you enjoy virtually invisible teeth-straightening.
  • Allows you to brush and floss your teeth normally for better periodontal health.
  • Consists of smooth, comfortable plastic instead of sharp metal that is more likely to irritate your cheeks and gums.
  • Frees up your busy schedule, with office visits only every four to six weeks.

Traditional braces can come with their share of challenges, such as pain, discomfort, mouth sores, or even injuries caused by the brace wires. There’s also the risk of tooth decay from insufficient brushing and flossing, plaque buildup, discoloration, broken brackets or teeth, and difficulty eating. On top of all that, you might have to give up some of your favorite foods like popcorn, chips, bagels, hard-crusted bread, pizza crust, pretzels, nuts, certain candies, and even apples, carrots, and corn on the cob.

Common Questions on Invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next, as guided by your dentist.

Invisalign treatment is ideal for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues. However, during your consultation at Etobicoke Dental Care, your dentist will assess your teeth to determine if Invisalign is right for you.

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

Yes! Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can take them out when eating or drinking. Just remember to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene.
