What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is comprised of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. These aligners are custom-made and interchanged every two weeks over six to 18 months. To capture an accurate impression of your teeth that will be used as a model to construct your aligners, a 3D image will be taken.

We provide Invisalign in Saskatoon to treat a variety of dental concerns, which include:

  • Fixing an underbite
  • Fixing an overbite
  • Fixing a crossbite
  • Closing gaps between teeth
  • Straightening your teeth
  • Treating crowded teeth

If you have a dental concern and are interested in receiving Invisalign to treat it, please schedule a consultation.

Invisalign vs. Braces

While braces and Invisalign are both an effective orthodontic methods to correct misaligned teeth, there are a few key differences between the two. Firstly, you can remove your aligners at any time for eating, drinking, flossing and brushing, whereas braces are fixed. Secondly, Invisalign is much more comfortable to wear than braces. The aligners are gentle on your cheeks and gums. Lastly, aesthetically speaking, Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, allowing you to correct the alignment of your teeth discretely.

FAQs

Can Invisalign correct an overbite?

Yes, Invisalign can fix mild to moderate overbites by moving the teeth and jaw gradually into improved alignment. More serious cases might still need traditional braces or other treatments.

Are Invisalign or braces better?

Both are effective, but Invisalign is more subtle and removable, while braces might be best for complicated cases. The best choice depends on your lifestyle and dental needs.

Can Invisalign cause cavities?

Invisalign itself would not be the cause of cavities, but poor oral care with alignment wear would cause food and bacteria to be trapped. Proper brushing and flossing would need to be done, and aligners would need to be treated gently.

Why does Invisalign hurt?

You might feel a little pressure or tightness while switching to a new alignment set. This is normal and indicates your teeth are moving as they should to.
