Clear Aligners

Your search for a clear aligners 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 clear aligners, 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 Clear Aligners

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

With clear aligners you can easily remove the aligners when eating and drinking to prevent staining or discomfort.

Clear aligners are used to address several orthodontic problems such as crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, overcrowding of teeth, open bites, crossbites and to close large gaps.

The design of the molded plastic of clear aligners provides for all-day wear.

With clear aligners, there are no metal brackets or wires to stick or rub along the inside of the mouth.

As the clear aligners are created with BPA-free plastic, care and maintenance is low. The material can be easily cleaned with a few simple steps.

The Clear Aligners Process

Clear aligners are a revolutionary process that shifts teeth into place for a more natural smile using advanced 3D computer technology.

STEP 1
Consultation

To begin the clear aligners 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 clear aligners 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.
