Invisalign® Treatment

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth.

Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, we can show you your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made to move your teeth little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved. Your treatment time will be determined by your doctor, based on your specific needs.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

1. Invisalign aligners are practically clear. It is likely no one will even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible “braces,” making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.
2. Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing the aligners. The aligners can also be removed to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
3. Unlike braces, there are no metal brackets or wires with the Invisalign system that could cause irritation to your mouth. Since your office visits during treatment don’t involve metal or wire adjustments, you’ll likely spend less time in the doctor’s chair.
4. And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Invisalign Cost vs Traditional Braces

As with any purchase, the cost of different types of braces must be taken into consideration when searching for the right braces treatment for you. As you search for the best Orthodontist and treatment plan, make sure to look into the costs of each different type of braces, most importantly Invisalign. Invisalign has been rising in popularity over the past couple of years now, and many have considered choosing it as an alternative to traditional braces. However, many are unaware that its price is relatively comparable to traditional braces with Invisalign generally being more cost effective at Centennial.

Invisalign is only successful in certain conditions. To find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Rhemtulla, in Calgary.
