Invisalign in Mississauga

Invisalign is an invisible alignment method involving custom-fit aligners that gradually straighten your teeth and transform your smile!

Advantages of Invisalign

For a long time, traditional metal braces were the only options for people looking to straighten their teeth. However, metal braces were very noticeable and difficult to maintain. Invisalign seeks to solve many of these issues.

A few key benefits of Invisalign include:

• Removable: these braces can be removed when you eat so food won't get stuck in them (however, they must be worn for 18-22 hours per day)
• Easy to care for: you can brush and floss as normal
• Sometimes faster results: Invisalign treatments typically take about 1 year, while braces can take 2-4 years
• Comfortable: Invisalign aligners are made custom-fit and apply controlled pressure gradually, so they are less painful than braces

Uses of Invisalign

Although the most common use of Invisalign is to straighten teeth, there are a few other issues that it can fix. For example, if you have gaps between your teeth, Invisalign can reduce the gap and decrease the risk of tooth decay. Invisalign can also help with crowding, overbites, and crossbites.

The Invisalign procedure

If you are interested in getting Invisalign treatment, set up a consultation appointment with Mississauga dentist Dr. Lin. She will ask you about your goals, design a treatment plan with you, and take impressions of your teeth.

During the treatment, you will need to replace the custom-fit plastic aligners every 2 weeks and visit our Mississauga dentistry every 6 weeks to monitor progress. Typically, Invisalign treatment lasts about 1 year and you will have an improved smile in no time!
