Book An Appointment

Your search for an Invisalign teeth straightening dentist in Etobicoke is over, as Princeview Dental Group offers this sought after service in-office. Traditional braces are visible and can leave the wearer feeling self-conscious. But with Invisalign, the clear plastic material is virtually invisible, allowing the patient to enjoy all the benefits while still being able to smile with ease.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisible braces: Known as “invisible braces”, Invisalign aligners are designed to perform the same distinct shifting of the teeth as traditional braces.

Comfortable and easy to wear: The design of the molded plastic of Invisalign provides for all-day wear.

Removable for eating and drinking: With Invisalign you can easily remove the aligners when eating and drinking to prevent staining or discomfort.

No metal brackets or wires: With Invisalign, there are no metal brackets or wires to stick or rub along the inside of the mouth.

Can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic problems: Invisalign is used to address several orthodontic problems such as crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, overcrowding of teeth, open bites, crossbites and to close large gaps.

Easy cleaning: As the Invisalign is created with BPA-free plastic, care and maintenance is low. The material can be easily cleaned with a few simple steps.

The Invisalign Process

Invisalign is a revolutionary process that shifts teeth into place for a more natural smile using advanced 3D computer technology.

STEP 1

Consultation

To begin the Invisalign process, a consultation with your dentist will determine if this is the best treatment for the condition of your teeth.

STEP 2

Establishing a treatment plan

In the planning stages, pictures, x-rays and impressions of the teeth will be taken for the 3D imaging of the mouth.

STEP 3

Inserting the Aligner

The customized aligners will be ordered and properly fitted at the dentist office to ensure you are comfortable in the wearing, removal, and repositioning of the aligner.

STEP 4

Wearing the Aligner

The aligners are interchanged with new ones every one to two weeks as directed by your dentist. The aligner is to be worn 20 to 22 hours per day during the treatment process.

STEP 5

Regular Checkups

It is important to keep all scheduled appointments with your dentist to have the movement of the teeth monitored to ensure the treatment is working as expected.

STEP 6

Completion of treatment

Once the teeth have reached the appropriate placement, use of the Invisalign treatment will be complete.

STEP 7

Wearing a retainer

Based on the final stage, your dentist will usually advise you to wear a retainer following treatment.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Anyone without severe dental conditions, bridges or implants can use Invisalign. Dental issues such as cavities or gum disease will need to be treated before treatment begins. The following are candidates for Invisalign.

Gapped teeth

This may involve an abnormal growth of the jawbone and/or missing teeth.

Open bite

This is caused by an abnormal structure of the jawline or thumb sucking.

Overbite

This is caused by genetics, bone overdevelopment, or poor oral habits.

Crossbite

This is caused by misalignment of both the upper and lower jaws.

Overcrowded

This is a genetic condition wherein the mouth has little room for the teeth to grow.

Underbite

This involves the undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, and/or missing teeth.

Difference Between Invisalign and Traditional Braces

The best part about Invisalign is that there’s little disruption to your life; people often won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing them! Invisalign also offers untold levels of comfort and convenience, and you can even easily remove them to eat whatever you want. Traditional metal braces, meanwhile, cause discomfort, can be a chore to keep clean, and require that the wearer watch what they eat. As your Invisalign teeth straightening dentist in Etobicoke we provide our patients with this effective teeth straightening method.

The Cost of Invisalign

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies across the country depending on your location, the condition of your teeth, the length of treatment, and if applicable health insurance will cover the treatment. In Ontario, Invisalign treatment costs between $3,500 to $8,500.

Aftercare Tips of Invisalign Treatment

To receive the best possible results, there are several steps to follow during and after a complete Invisalign treatment.

Properly brush & floss before and during using Invisalign: It is imperative to continue using proper brushing and flossing techniques to prevent bacteria and plaque buildup.

Clean your aligners with soft brush daily: Use a soft brush and mild soap to thoroughly clean the aligners.

Keep your aligners in clean place when not using: When not in use, store in an airtight container to prevent damage and/or dirt from settling.

Remove Invisalign while drinking and eating: Remove them when eating or drinking, especially foods with sugary content.

Can Children and Teens Get Invisalign?

Invisalign is ideal for children once they have all their permanent teeth and who need to have their teeth straightened. We all know how self-conscious teenagers can be, making Invisalign the ideal choice for teens. The aligners gradually straighten the teeth, leaving them with a great-looking smile that they will want to show off at every opportunity.
