Invisalign® Clear Aligners In Winnipeg

What Is Invisalign And How Does It Work?

For ultimate camouflage, tray or aligner systems render a modern straightening method. Designed with sophisticated software and 3D digital models of your teeth, a series of clear plastic trays produces the straightening results. Medical-grade plastic without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently moves your teeth into place. Gradual pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less discomfort and shortened treatment times, in many cases. Your provider dispenses several sets of aligners at a time, allowing you to change to a new one at home every two weeks.

Removable trays can be set aside for short periods, allowing normal eating and cleaning. Enjoying an apple without the intrusion of brackets and wires works well for many patients. And the smooth plastic surface offers a comfort level to the tongue and cheeks unequalled by other forms of straightening.

A system that can be taken out and set aside may be forgotten. Committing to consistent wear, at least 22 hours each day, helps ensure the success of your treatment. While clear aligners work extremely well for adults, a responsible teen can be a candidate, too. And adults of every age have discovered the perks of straight teeth with aligners.

"In my line of work, I meet face to face with people every day. With Invisalign, I found that going through treatment didn't interfere with my busy lifestyle." - Kelly, Real Estate Agent

Can Invisalign Deliver The Same Results As Braces?

In most mild to moderate cases of teeth and jaw misalignment, Invisalign® can deliver very similar results to braces. In more complex cases, however, braces may still be the preferred orthodontic treatment option. While aligner treatment works for 90% of straightening cases, some tooth movements may not be possible—or you may simply prefer the security of fixed braces.

Invisalign® can:

• Straighten your teeth in stealth mode

• Allow you to eat the foods you like during treatment

• Make cleaning and brushing easy

• Close eye-catching gaps

• Correct overlap/crowding issue

Is Invisalign® Comfortable Compared To Braces?

While orthodontic treatment with either Invisalign® or braces is often accompanied by some level of discomfort as teeth move and shift, the Invisalign® process is generally considered to be the more comfortable of the two options. Invisalign®'s smooth, custom-fitted design reduces irritation in the mouth and the fact that the aligner trays are removable means that everyday activities like eating and tooth cleaning can often be performed more conveniently with fewer restrictions.
