We know that a straighter smile is also a healthier smile. Reliance Dental offers orthodontic treatment for patients with mild to moderate concerns to straighten teeth and improve the function of the bite. Invisalign clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth without using traditional metal braces.
Clear aligners make orthodontic treatment more discreet, convenient, and comfortable. It is a perfect solution for adult patients who need or desire to straighten their teeth without the visual appearance or hassles of metal braces. If you would like to explore your treatment options, schedule a visit and discuss your needs with one of our Edmonton dentists.
Invisalign Process: What to Expect
-
Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation with one of our dentists. They will assess your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if Invisalign is suitable for your needs.
-
Custom Treatment Plan: If you’re a candidate, we will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth. These are used to create a 3D model, allowing the orthodontist to develop a customized treatment plan.
-
Aligner Fabrication: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners is created using advanced 3D printing technology. Each set is designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
-
Wearing Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 20-22 hours a day, switching to a new set approximately every 1-2 weeks, as prescribed by your dentist. Adhering to the treatment plan and allotted daily wear time will keep your progress on track.
-
Regular Check-Ups: You’ll have periodic check-ups (usually every 6-8 weeks) with our dental care team to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
-
Retention: Once you’ve finished your series of aligners, you may receive retainers to wear nightly, which will help maintain your new smile for a lifetime.
Why Choose Invisalign: Discover the Benefits
Invisalign has transformed orthodontics for patients, enabling many to achieve a straighter, healthier smile without lifestyle disruption. The clear aligners are comfortable to wear and virtually unnoticeable. The smooth plastic does not irritate the gums and soft tissues in the mouth.
Another key benefit is the ability to continue enjoying your normal diet. You can easily remove the aligners for eating, drinking, and also for daily brushing, and flossing, promoting better oral hygiene.
In some cases, Invisalign can achieve results more quickly than traditional braces, depending on the complexity of the case. Patients also enjoy the ability to “see the future of their smile” with our CAD/CAM software used for treatment planning. Our team can give you a digital preview of how the aligners will reposition your teeth and change the look of your smile.
