When correcting cosmetic, functional, and or temporomandibular (TM) joint issues, orthodontics is usually the first choice of treatment. Yet, many avoid such treatment due to the stigma of wearing traditional wire-and-post braces. Nearly translucent, Invisalign® orthodontics can help avoid these anxieties.
Invisalign® consists of custom-moulded, clear plastic aligners that gradually straighten the teeth. Over the course of the treatment, a new Invisalign® aligner is placed every two weeks until the desired smile is achieved.
Your first couple of visits to Dentistry on Wilson will include a medical and dental history evaluation, and x-rays of the teeth and jaws among other diagnostic tools. After careful planning, our highly skilled North York dentist, Dr. David Michaels will design and apply braces that coincide with the treatment plan in effect for you.
An orthodontic treatment using a series of clear, custom-made, removable plastic trays (aligners).
Designed to shift teeth into the correct position over time.
Your dentist creates a custom digital treatment plan (ClinCheck).
You wear each set of aligners (usually for about a week, per your doctor's instructions).
They apply gentle force to slowly move your teeth according to the digital map.
Highly effective for mild to moderate issues (crowding, spacing, crooked teeth).
More severe cases may still require traditional braces or a combination treatment.
You have minor alignment issues.
Your teeth and gums are healthy.
You are willing to wear the trays 20–22 hours per day as instructed.
Varies by case, but the average for adults is typically 12–18 months.
Minor corrections can be as quick as 6 months.
You switch to a new set of trays usually every one to two weeks, as prescribed by your dentist.
The process itself is painless.
You may feel temporary pressure or mild discomfort for up to a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners; this means they are working.
