Your Winnipeg Invisalign® Provider
About Invisalign
There are several options available to straighten your smile. Invisalign orthodontic treatment consists of a series of clear custom aligners that are hard to detect when worn.
Invisalign's series of custom aligners are designed to straighten teeth without the brackets or wires that come with traditional metal braces.
Your orthodontic treatment schedule will be mapped out in your personalized treatment plan. During your Invisalign treatment, you will wear each set of aligners for two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. This procedure will be repeated until your treatment is finished.
Invisalign vs Braces
Invisalign clear aligners have several benefits that make them appealing to those who want to straighten their smile without the look of traditional braces.
Invisalign for Different Stages
Invisalign offers orthodontic aligners specially designed for adults, teens, and even young children.
Because children's smiles change so dramatically, Invisalign was once thought to be unsuitable for them. However, Invisalign, Invisalign for Teens, and Invisalign First for children have recently been developed to address the specific needs of each stage of dental development.
Discreet
You'll appreciate Invisalign's clear plastic aligners if you're concerned about the appearance of traditional metal braces. The aligners from Invisalign are made of a thin, clear plastic that is barely visible when worn. People aren't likely to notice you're wearing them.
Removable
When you straighten your teeth with Invisalign, you won't have to give up any of your favourite foods. The aligners used by Invisalign are removable. All you have to do is take out your aligners and place them in their convenient storage container while you eat. Simply brush and floss your teeth after you've finished eating, rinse your aligners, and replace them in your mouth. When you're out on a date night to the movies, you won't have to forego the popcorn.
Convenient
Invisalign aligners, unlike traditional metal braces, do not require adjustments. That means you'll only need to see your orthodontist for checkups and progress reviews throughout your treatment.
Things to Consider
While Invisalign is appealing to many people, it's important to remember that this treatment option isn't right for everyone. A different treatment option would likely benefit those with severe misalignments or cases of jaw misalignment.
While having the ability to remove your aligners whenever you want is convenient, the more time you spend without them in your mouth, the longer your treatment will take. It's crucial not to take advantage of the opportunity! To be effective, your aligners must be in your mouth for 20-22 hours per day.
