The Best of Invisalign: Works Like Magic, Feels Like Nothing

What Invisalign Treats

Effective orthodontic treatment without the pain and hassle — that’s the Invisalign promise. What’s keeping you from smiling confidently? Invisalign corrects these common dental problems and more, without the need for wires and brackets:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Uneven spacing between teeth
  • Narrow tooth arches
  • Underbite and/or overbite.

 

How to Wear Your Invisalign

Invisalign is all about flexibility and comfort: transparent and removable Invisalign. Unlike metal braces with fixed wires and brackets, you can easily wear and remove these tray aligners to enjoy your favourite foods, and brush and floss afterwards.

Wear these ‘barely there’ braces for 20 hours a day over a prescribed period, and see crooked, uneven teeth gradually move into their proper position, alignment, and bite.

Is Invisalign Right for Me? – Orthodontic Treatment Process

Ready to fix your smile? Begin the journey to your transformed smile and renewed self-confidence. Start wearing Invisalign in four easy steps:

  1. Invisalign vs. Self-Directed Aligners: Know the Difference

    Don’t mistake self-directed aligner tray treatments for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign is a pre-screened and fully supervised orthodontic treatment. Self-directed aligners only require you to create your own mould at home, and receive your trays in the mail — there is no consultation, imaging, and fitting with a dentist. You risk receiving inaccurate aligners: at best, self-directed trays can only straighten teeth, but not severe alignment issues.

  2. Book an Invisalign Consultation

    Talk to our dentists about your dental concerns, including crooked teeth and misalignment. We will take photos of your teeth and oral structures to create a detailed 3D image of your mouth and model for your custom Invisalign aligner. Our dentists will also show you simulated images to visualize the transformation of your smile using Invisalign.

  3. Prescribed Usage

    Our dentists manage your entire Invisalign orthodontic treatment. Once your custom aligner trays are created, we provide directions for use, including a prescribed period for optimal alignment and bite. Depending on your condition, you may be prescribed a series of trays to wear progressively over a set period as your smile continuously adjusts. With your custom Invisalign trays, you are guaranteed a precise and comfortable fit, and effective treatment.

  4. Follow-Up Visits

    Your Invisalign treatment is an ongoing process. Our dentists monitor your progress with regular visits and evaluate every stage of the bite and alignment correction. Based on your progress, we may recommend longer wearing or adjustment to your trays. You can do your part by following the treatment plan closely to achieve your desired smile.

    Invisalign in London: Suitability, Timeline and Retention

    Clear aligners have made orthodontics acceptable to adults who would never have accepted brackets. They are not right for every case, and an honest assessment saves disappointment.

    Who it suits

    Crowding, spacing, mild to moderate bite problems and relapse after childhood braces all respond well. Severe skeletal discrepancies, badly rotated canines and some deep bites are still handled better with fixed appliances or with a specialist referral.

    What the timeline really looks like

    Most adult cases run six to eighteen months. Aligners are worn twenty-two hours a day and changed on a set schedule; the treatment only works as well as the wear time. Attachments, small tooth-coloured bumps, are usually needed to grip and rotate certain teeth.

    Retention is not optional

    Teeth move for life. Whatever the treatment, a retainer worn nightly is what preserves the result. This is the single most common reason people end up needing a second course of treatment years later. The Canadian Dental Association explains the biology behind it.

    Cost and comparison

    Fees depend on the number of aligners, not on the brand name. Ask what happens if refinements are needed and whether retainers are included. Compare against the Ontario Dental Association guide, and see our cosmetic dentistry page for alternatives such as bonding or veneers.

    What Invisalign Treatment Looks Like Week by Week

    Invisalign moves teeth with a series of clear trays, each one slightly different from the last. You wear each set for one to two weeks, twenty to twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. The trays are what does the work; the appointments only confirm that the plan is tracking.

    Planning and the digital preview

    Treatment starts with photographs, a scan and X-rays. From those, a movement plan is built and you see a simulation of the projected result before committing. This is also the point where we say honestly whether Invisalign is the right tool. Severe crowding, significant bite discrepancies and some rotated teeth are better handled with fixed braces, and we will tell you so rather than take the case.

    Attachments, elastics and refinements

    Small tooth-coloured bumps are often bonded to certain teeth to give the trays something to grip. Some plans add tiny elastics. Near the end, a short set of refinement trays is common; this is normal rather than a sign the plan failed. Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how far the teeth need to travel.

    Progress is easier to accept when you can see it at each review.

    Compliance is the whole game

    Invisalign only works while the trays are in. Patients who leave them out through meals and evenings add months to their treatment. Clean the trays with cool water and a soft brush, never hot water, and keep them in the case rather than a napkin. Snacking constantly is the most common reason cases run late.

    Retainers afterwards

    Teeth drift back for life, so a retainer is not optional. Most patients wear one nightly indefinitely. If you grind, that retainer may need to be combined with a night guard. Once alignment is finished, some patients go on to teeth whitening or minor veneer work to even out edges. Background reading on orthodontics is available from the Canadian Dental Association.
