Invisalign in Richmond Hill

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually straightens and aligns your teeth using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners. It provides an alternative to traditional braces with metal brackets and wires.

Invisalign aligners are clear and designed to be virtually unnoticeable when worn. While they aren't completely invisible, their discreet appearance makes them a popular alternative to traditional braces.

Your dentist first examines your teeth and creates a personalized treatment plan using digital scans and a 3-D model of your teeth. You then wear a series of custom aligners, changing to a new set approximately every two weeks as your teeth gradually move toward their planned positions.

Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to take them out when eating and drinking. Removing your aligners also makes it easier to maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth normally without having to work around brackets and wires. This makes maintaining your regular oral hygiene routine more convenient during treatment.

Aligners are generally changed approximately every two weeks. Your individual treatment plan may vary depending on your specific needs.

Treatment time varies from person to person depending on the complexity of the tooth movements required and your individual treatment plan. Dentistry in Oak Ridges also offers ACCELEDENT as an option that may help expedite treatment for appropriate patients.
