The best way to straighten teeth
Teeth can be straightened with traditional braces or advanced clear aligners like Invisalign. Recognized as the most advanced clear aligner system, Invisalign uses custom trays crafted from precise 3D digital scans. These trays are fitted in-person for optimal discretion and comfort.
Invisalign treatment can be completed in as little as six months, with noticeable results in just a few weeks. The trays are removable and easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods while maintaining excellent oral hygiene. Invisalign combines effectiveness, convenience, and comfort for a beautifully straight smile.

If you experience any of these concerns, schedule an appointment for an oral health evaluation. Straight teeth support a healthier, more confident life.
When is a good time to start?
If you’ve been considering straightening your teeth or have recently received a recommendation from your dentist, the best time to start is now. Waiting can lead to greater dissatisfaction, increased risk of broken teeth, or health issues—and remember, teeth naturally continue to shift over time.
In a few years, your teeth may become more misaligned, making treatment longer, more complex, and potentially more costly. Starting early means faster, easier, and often more affordable treatment.
Concerned about costs? Don’t worry—treatment is affordable, and payment plans are available. Contact our office to explore flexible options and take the first step toward a healthier, straighter smile.

What can you expect once you start your treatment?
Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile by starting with a strong foundation—teeth that are properly aligned and functioning correctly. And remember, it’s never too late to straighten your teeth!
Your treatment plan
Your journey begins with precise digital scans of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. Invisalign’s advanced software predicts how your teeth will shift over time, allowing you to visualize your progress and final results. Once the plan is approved, your custom aligners are created using state-of-the-art technology.
The first aligners
When your aligners arrive, small, mostly invisible fasteners may be temporarily bonded to your teeth to help secure the aligners in place. These fasteners are removed at the end of your treatment, leaving no trace.
Follow-up appointments
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, with each set gradually shifting your teeth into their correct positions. Regular check-ups every 1-2 months allow us to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign is often more comfortable and discreet than traditional braces. The clear, custom-fit trays are nearly invisible, making them ideal for those seeking a subtle treatment. They can be removed for important events, presentations, or meals, adding convenience to your lifestyle. Unlike braces, Invisalign trays are smooth, avoiding the pinching or scratching caused by metal brackets. Trays can be easily adjusted if they irritate your gums, and their gentle pressure moves a few teeth at a time, making the process far more comfortable.
Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth, minimizing discomfort. Most changes occur over weeks or months, ensuring comfort throughout the process. While you may feel slight pressure, severe pain is rare. If your aligners hurt, let us know so we can help.
Invisalign treatment typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on your goals. Most patients notice movement within the first six weeks. The more adjustments your teeth need, the longer treatment will take, regardless of the orthodontic option.
Remove and clean your trays and teeth twice daily. Rinse your aligners every time you remove them, and avoid letting them sit in open air. Soak them in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals as needed, and rinse thoroughly before reinserting. Avoid eating or drinking with your aligners, and never clean them with toothpaste to prevent scratches. Detailed care instructions will be provided with your first set of trays.
No, eating with your aligners can damage or crack them. Remove your trays before eating to prevent unnecessary wear and mess.
Yes, Invisalign should be worn 24/7, except during meals or when drinking anything other than water. Consistent wear is essential for effective tooth movement, so keep them in—even while sleeping.
