If you are considering Invisalign in Calgary, you’re likely looking for a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners. These aligners are removable and nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a subtle way to straighten their teeth.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign moves your teeth a little at a time, with each set of aligners bringing you closer to your smile goals. We offer Invisalign in SW Calgary as part of our orthodontic services for adults and teens.
The treatment begins with a comprehensive dental examination and a digital scan or impressions of your teeth. Your custom aligners are usually ready within two to three weeks. You’ll then wear each set as directed, switching to the next set according to your personalized treatment plan. We schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress.
Who Is Invisalign For?
Invisalign is generally best suited for adults and responsible teens who want to correct mild to moderate misalignment and can commit to wearing aligners most of the day. For more complex movement or bite correction, traditional braces may be a better fit.
The Invisalign Treatment Journey
Once your consultation confirms you’re a good candidate, we create a digital map of your teeth and plan your tooth movement step by step. During treatment, you’ll wear your aligners as instructed, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. Some teeth may need small, tooth-coloured attachments to help the aligners guide your teeth more precisely, these are removed when treatment ends. You’ll visit us for regular check-ups to ensure treatment stays on track.
After you finish wearing the aligners, you’ll be fitted for retainers, which help keep your teeth in their new position.
Comfort and Daily Life with Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are designed to be comfortable, but you might feel a little pressure or mild soreness for a few days when starting each new set. This is normal and it settles quickly for most patients. One benefit of Invisalign is being able to remove your aligners for meals and for cleaning your teeth. To protect your investment, consistent daily cleaning and following our care instructions are key.
What You Need to Commit To
Since the aligners are removable, it’s important to keep track of them throughout your treatment, as they can be easy to misplace.
Choosing Between Invisalign and Braces
Deciding between Invisalign and traditional braces comes down to your dental needs, your lifestyle, and your preferences. We offer both options and guide you through the pros and cons of each, helping you select the approach that fits your goals.
After your assessment, you’ll receive a clear estimate for your personalized Invisalign treatment plan.
