Best Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatment in Mississauga

Invisalign Treatment is available at our dental office for Orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is a more esthetic alternative to conventional braces. Invisalign consists of a series of clear, plastic, removable appliances that move your teeth in small increments. The clear aligners are nearly invisible so many people won’t realize you are in orthodontic treatment. The Invisalign aligners allow for normal brushing and flossing, which is usually impaired by conventional braces. Call our office today to book a Complimentary consultation to see if Invisalign aligners are the right option for you.

How Invisalign Works

At your first consultation, A dentist or orthodontist will assess your teeth to determine if Invisalign is a suitable treatment option. Then, digital scans or physical impressions of the teeth are taken to create a 3D model. Using 3D imaging technology, a detailed plan is developed, showing the step-by-step movement of teeth and the expected final position.

  • Initial Consultation: At your first consultation, your orthodontist will assess your teeth to determine if Invisalign is a suitable treatment option.
  • Custom Treatment Plan: Using 3D imaging technology, your orthodontist will curate a detailed plan describing the step-by-step movement of teeth and the expected final position.
  • Aligner Fabrication: As per the treatment plan, a series of custom aligners are created and each set of aligners is designed to be worn for about one to two weeks.
  • Wearing Aligners: For best results, patients are prescribed to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.
  • Progression: At the interval of two weeks, patients switch to the next set of aligners in the given series that gradually move the teeth to their desired position.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Patients are asked to visit their orthodontist every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive the next set of aligners.
  • Completion: Once the treatment is complete, patients might need to wear retainers to maintain the new position of their teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign

Boasting an aesthetic appeal, Invisalign is clear and nearly invisible. Besides this, the aligners are made with smooth plastic which is less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks contrary to the traditional braces. You can also remove aligners for brushing, flossing, and eating. Therefore, there are no dietary restrictions when opting for retainers.

Maintenance and Aftercare

Aligners should be cleaned regularly using the Invisalign cleaning system or with a toothbrush and warm water. After the treatment, wearing retainers as prescribed is crucial to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
