Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners instead of traditional brackets and wires.
Your aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth. Each set applies controlled pressure to gradually move specific teeth according to your personalized treatment plan.
As your treatment progresses, you will change to new sets of aligners as directed by your dentist. Over time, your teeth gradually move toward their planned positions.
Because Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, they offer a convenient option for patients who want to straighten their teeth while maintaining their everyday lifestyle.

Removable
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed when you eat, brush and floss. This means you can continue enjoying your favourite foods while maintaining your regular oral hygiene routine.
Comfortable

Customized for Your Smile
Every Invisalign treatment is different. Your treatment plan is developed based on your teeth, bite and individual smile goals.

Both Invisalign and traditional braces can be effective orthodontic treatments. The best choice depends on your dental needs, lifestyle and the complexity of your case. Your dentist can help you determine which option is more appropriate for you.
Invisalign aligners generally need to be worn for most of the day to achieve the planned tooth movement. You should follow the specific wear schedule provided by your dentist and remove your aligners when instructed, including for eating and oral hygiene.
Your aligners should generally be removed before eating. One of the advantages of Invisalign is that you can continue enjoying your usual foods without the same food restrictions commonly associated with traditional braces.
It’s generally best to remove your aligners before drinking beverages other than water. Certain drinks can stain the aligners or expose your teeth to sugars and acids trapped underneath them.
You may experience some temporary pressure or mild discomfort when starting a new set of aligners. This can occur as the aligners begin applying gentle pressure to move your teeth.
Invisalign may be able to close certain gaps between teeth. Whether it is appropriate depends on the size of the gaps and other factors affecting your teeth and bite.
Many cases of dental crowding can be treated with Invisalign. An examination is necessary to determine the complexity of your crowding and whether clear aligners are the appropriate treatment.
Yes. Many adults choose Invisalign because it provides a discreet way to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces.
Retainers are commonly recommended following orthodontic treatment to help maintain the new positions of your teeth. Your dentist will recommend a retention plan based on your individual needs.
