Invisalign

Never before has an orthodontic treatment been so effortless and convenient. The Invisalign® system can help you achieve stunning results through your very own, customized treatment plan. The Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear plastic aligners, created precisely to gently and gradually move your teeth into place. Using advanced 3-D Technology, we can predetermine your treatment plan, and show you the results you would achieve, even before you start your treatment.

  • Some of the benefits of the Invisalign system include:
  • More control – Invisalign plastic wraps completely around teeth which gives solid control over the movement of teeth.
  • Virtually Invisible – Only you will know you’re wearing them.
  • Completely Removable – Eat, drink, brush and floss, or take them out for special occasions.
  • Less appointments – We typically see our invisalign patients every 12 weeks at our Brantford or Hamilton offices. Now, with the ability to precisely monitor your treatment virtually, we are able to defer your office visit to 6 months without compromising the quality of treatment.
  • Faster Treatment Time – With clear aligners, we are able to initiate and progress all the stages of orthodontic treatment at once. This is done with a carefully designed and controlled digital treatment plan customized completely by Dr Singh. The result is a faster treatment and use of more gentle forces.

Benefits of Invisalign

More Control Over Tooth Movement

Invisalign aligners wrap completely around your teeth, providing enhanced precision and control over tooth movement for predictable results.

Virtually Invisible Appearance

Made from clear, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. Only you will know you're wearing them.

Removable for Convenience

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, or take them out for special occasions

Fewer Office Visits

Invisalign treatments typically require appointments every 12 weeks, or even as infrequently as every 6 months when virtual monitoring is utilized, offering unmatched convenience.

Faster Treatment Time

By addressing multiple stages of tooth movement simultaneously through a custom digital treatment plan, Invisalign can reduce the overall treatment time compared to traditional braces.

Gentle and Comfortable

Invisalign uses gradual, controlled forces to move teeth, resulting in less discomfort compared to traditional braces with brackets and wires.

Frequently Asked Questions about Invisalign

  1. The most important variable for success of your Invisalign treatment is your compliance to wear the aligners as instructed. Aligners need to be worn at minimum 22 hours per day, without exception. This includes faithful wear of rubber bands, if indicated, during treatment.
  2. Your aligners will be changed on a weekly basis, unless otherwise notified by the doctor. The most important indicator of your readiness to change into your next aligner is the overall fit, or passiveness, of your aligners. Your aligners should have no visible space seen between the edge of the teeth, and the aligner itself, when you are ready to change. The aligners should always fit tight over the teeth, so no space is visible at the edge of the teeth. If a gap exists, aligner chewies should be used faithfully until the aligner fits properly.

    DO NOT TRANSITION TO YOUR NEXT ALIGNER UNTIL ALL GAPS BETWEEN THE TEETH AND THE ALIGNER ARE RESOLVED.

    To use the chewie, bite down and hold in the area where the aligner needs to fit better for 5 seconds, then release. Repeat this process for 10 minutes at a time, up to three times per day, until the gap is reduced.

    **If you have a history of TMJ, do not use the chewies, but instead use steady figure pressure to push the aligner in place instead, always making sure not to put pressure on you lower jaw if the problem is on the lower teeth.
  3. Use your elastics as prescribed. These elastics provide additional gentle forces to move your teeth along with the forces generated by the aligners.
