Invisalign is an effective and comfortable orthodontic treatment that aligns your teeth correctly – just like traditional metal braces. But the system is more comfortable and modern, and easier to wear, too. Instead of metal wires, the Invisalign process uses a series of clear aligners that will  position your teeth. The aligners are shaped from images that are computer-generated and based on a digital scan of your teeth that’s taken by your dentist. 

 

The Invisalign Process 

 

The modern, easy-to-wear Invisalign system works by gradually moving your teeth into straighter positions. Clear plastic aligners are changed over the course of your treatment, so that every week or few weeks, when you place a new aligner into your mouth, your teeth are just a little bit straighter. Each tray is shaped for teeth that are just slightly straighter than your teeth. The result: a gentle pressure that moves your teeth to meet the aligner gradually. 

 

In short, instead of using fixed metal wires that pull teeth into a new position, Invisalign uses clear aligner molds that shift your teeth in a new position as they move to fit the aligner shape. 

 

Patients using Invisalign visit the dentist about once every six weeks, to be sure that the treatment is progressing properly.

 

Why Choose Invisalign?

 

You’ll find a range of advantages for selecting Invisalign over standard metal braces. First, because they’re made from clear plastic, they’re almost invisible to other people. Second, they can be removed for 2 to 4 hours every day. Metal braces on the other hand are visible, and must  be worn all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week  – even if they can be uncomfortable. 

 

Lastly, you’ll find that metal braces may require you to change your dental hygiene routine and change your nutritional choices. But by choosing Invisalign trays you’ll brush and floss normally by simply removing the trays. This also allows you to eat the foods that you love without any risk that metal braces and wires are coming loose. 

 

Choosing Invisalign

 

Invisalign works well for most ages. They’re the modern alternative to a traditional orthodontic treatment with metal braces, and an unobtrusive way to get a straighter smile no matter what your age. 

 

Invisalign is:

 

  • Unobtrusive
  • Easy to wear
  • Flexible
  • Comfortable

 

Do note, however, that it’s important that you can wear them as directed – every day or the treatment may not work.

The basic cost of Invisalign may vary in Toronto depending on your dental needs, but they can be either a little less than traditional braces or a little more.
