What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an alternative to traditional braces for those with mild cases of misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues. These clear sets of aligners are custom fit to your mouth. As long as you have a full set of teeth, you can be considered for this type of orthodontic appliance from your dentist in NE Calgary. Get the smile you have always dreamed of without the discomfort that sometimes comes with metal braces.

Why You May Need Invisalign®

Invisalign® corrects many issues including:

• Overbite

• Underbite

• Crossbite

• Crowded teeth
  
  

They are nearly invisible to the naked eye making them great for all ages. Children and older adults can avoid being embarrassed by the metal bands and wires of traditional braces. No one will even know you have them in. Another great part is they can be taken out during eating and drinking for your ultimate comfort. As long as you wear them for the recommended 22 hours a day, they will keep aligning your smile.

What is the Process for Getting Invisalign®?

When you go to your dentist in NE Calgary, they will help you make an informed decision whether or not this is the right treatment for your situation. If so, then they will follow with treatment steps.

• Step 1: An X-ray and 3D machines are used to scan your teeth to ensure the proper form and function of the Invisalign® trays.

• Step 2: Once ready, your aligners are fitted inside your mouth and checked to make sure everything is snug yet comfortable.

• Step 3: You will schedule a series of appointments with your dentist in NE Calgary to come in for a check-up on your progress and fit you with a new set of aligners. This typically happens about every two weeks, continuously for a specific period. Your teeth move slowly and you can expect full results in about 12 to 18 months.
