Invisalign in Kitchener

Invisalign uses a series of custom‑made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner is virtually invisible, made from BPA‑free material that fits snugly over your dental arch. Unlike metal brackets and wires, this approach lets you smile freely throughout the entire process. 

Choosing Invisalign means opting for a solution designed with your lifestyle in mind. With Invisalign treatment, you benefit from: 

• Discretion: The aligners are clear and blend with your natural teeth. 
• Flexibility: Remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. 
• Comfort: Smooth trays eliminate the soreness often experienced with braces. 
• Precision: Digital dentistry tools map out every tooth movement in advance.

Embarking on your Invisalign treatment involves a series of carefully planned stages: 

1. Consultation & 3D Scanning 
   Meet with our expert Orthodontist for a comprehensive exam. We use intraoral scanning to create an accurate digital model of your teeth. 
2. Custom Treatment Plan 
   Leveraging Invisalign’s proprietary software, we plot tooth movements and generate a sequence of aligners tailored to your needs. 
3. Aligner Fabrication 
   Each set of aligners is produced to exact specifications, ensuring a comfortable fit during every stage. 
4. Wearing Your Aligners 
   Wear your aligners 20–22 hours daily, switching to the next in the series every one to two weeks. 
5. Regular Check‑ups 
   Periodic visits allow us to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. 
6. Retention 
   After completing your final aligner, retainers lock in your new alignment—preserving that beautiful smile for years to come.

Invisalign offers numerous advantages over traditional braces: 

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Clear trays remain subtle even at close range. 
• Improved Oral Hygiene: Removable aligners let you brush and floss normally, promoting healthier gums. 
• Predictable Outcomes: Advanced digital planning previews your end result before treatment begins. 
• Discreet Orthodontic Care: Ideal for professionals and students who value a subtle solution. 

While Invisalign effectively addresses mild to moderate misalignment, an initial evaluation determines candidacy. Ideal candidates: 

• Are teens or adults committed to wearing aligners as prescribed. 
• Have healthy teeth and gums free of active decay. 
• Seek an alternative to metal braces. 

Thanks to technological advancements, many cases once treated only with braces are now managed successfully with Invisalign treatment.

At our Kitchener dental clinic, we use iTero scanning to make your Invisalign journey easier and more comfortable. This mess-free process creates accurate 3D images of your teeth—no need for traditional impressions. It helps ensure a better fit for your aligners and allows for faster treatment planning.
