What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of nearly invisible aligners custom-fitted to your teeth. Each aligner is worn over your teeth and designed to apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting them into the correct position. Unlike traditional braces, the aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease throughout your treatment. They are a popular choice for both teens and adults who want a flexible, discreet option for straightening their smile without the look or feel of metal brackets and wires.
Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Appearance
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. They are virtually invisible, which means most people will not even notice you are wearing them. Whether you are at work, in social situations, or speaking in public, you can straighten your teeth with complete confidence.
Comfort
Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners have no sharp brackets or wires that can irritate the inside of your mouth. The smooth plastic material is designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, and most patients adjust quickly within the first few days of wearing each new set.
Convenience
You can remove your aligners for meals, drinks, and cleaning. This means there are no food restrictions during your treatment and maintaining your regular oral hygiene routine is straightforward. Simply brush and floss as normal, clean your aligners, and put them back in.
Fewer Appointments
This treatment typically requires fewer in-office visits than traditional braces. Progress check-ups are scheduled at regular intervals to monitor your treatment and provide new aligner sets. You can also explore LightForce braces as an alternative fixed orthodontic option available at our clinic.
How Invisalign Works
Consultation and Assessment
Your Treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Afrand at our Downtown Vancouver clinic. During this visit we will assess your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you. We use digital scans to create a precise 3D image of your teeth, giving you a preview of your expected results before treatment even begins.
Customized Treatment Plan
Using your 3D scan, Dr. Afrand will design a fully customized treatment plan that maps the movement of each tooth from its current position to its ideal final position. You will be able to see a digital preview of your smile at the end of treatment before you commit to anything.
Wearing Your Aligners
Once your aligners are ready, you will wear each set for approximately two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. For best results, your aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth.
Progress Check-ups
Dr. Afrand will schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track. These appointments are typically shorter and less frequent than traditional orthodontic visits, making it easier to fit dental care into a busy schedule.
Invisalign for Teens and Adults
Invisalign is available for both teenagers and adults, with treatment options tailored to each age group.
Invisalign for adults is ideal for professionals and individuals who want to straighten their teeth discreetly without the appearance of traditional braces. Whether you are correcting a long-standing alignment issue or finishing treatment you started years ago, Invisalign offers a comfortable and convenient solution that fits into your lifestyle.
Invisalign for teens includes features designed specifically for younger patients, including compliance indicators that help parents and Dr. Afrand track wear time. Replacement aligners are also available in case any are lost or damaged during treatment.
