Teeth Invisible Aligners Vaughan
At Dentistry on the Pines, we know that getting a perfect smile shouldn’t make you feel bad about yourself while you’re getting treatment. Patients with traditional metal braces feel self conscious about how they look, especially adults who want to look professional. This worry led to the creation of invisible aligners which have changed orthodontic treatment in Vaughan and beyond.
Invisible aligners are a big step forward in modern dentistry because they let people straighten their teeth without the pain and visibility that comes with regular braces. These transparent, custom made trays fit tightly over your teeth and slowly move them into place. The technology behind these aligners uses 3D imaging and computer modelling to produce a series of trays that slowly move your teeth into the best position.
The first step in the treatment process is a full consultation where we assess your dental needs and decide if invisible aligners are right for you. We take comprehensive impressions and digital scans of your teeth at this first visit so we can create a treatment plan just for you. Each set of aligners is made just for your mouth so they fit well and work well.
One of the best things about invisible aligners is you can take them out. Aligners are different from regular braces since you can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss. Patients can maintain their normal dental hygiene routine without the problems that come with metal brackets and wires because of this flexibility. But for best results patients must wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Treatment time depends on how complex your case is but most people finish their invisible aligner treatment in 12 to 18 months. We can monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners every 6 to 8 weeks as your teeth slowly move into place. These appointments are usually shorter and more comfortable than regular orthodontic visits.
Invisible aligners can fix many orthodontic problems such as overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites and crossbites. Many patients find that aligners work well for mild to moderate alignment issues even though severe cases may still need traditional orthodontic treatment. You can smile with confidence throughout your treatment because the clear material makes them almost invisible. Vaughan patients love their invisible aligner treatment. There are no metal parts to irritate the soft tissues in your mouth so these braces are more comfortable than regular braces. Also the smooth plastic material reduces the risk of scratches and sores that come with metal orthodontics.
The cost of invisible aligner treatment depends on how complex your case is and how long you need to be treated. We help patients come up with payment options that make this investment in your smile affordable and manageable. Many dental insurance plans cover orthodontic work including invisible aligners which can help reduce the overall cost.
Taking care of invisible aligners is easy and doesn’t require any changes to your daily life. Cleaning the aligners with warm water and mild soap regularly keeps them clear and clean. We give you clear instructions on how to take care of your aligners so they stay hidden and work well during treatment.
We also do Root Canal procedures to save natural teeth and Dental Implants to replace teeth when necessary for those who want full dental care. These treatments complement our orthodontic services to provide total oral health solutions.
We are still committed to helping our patients get beautiful healthy smiles with the best and most comfortable treatment options available. Call Dentistry on the Pines today to book your appointment and see how invisible aligners can change your smile without anyone knowing.
