Invisalign Clear Aligners in Duncan
Are you contemplating a straighter smile but dread the thought of traditional metal braces? At Dr. Scott Stewart's dental office in Duncan, BC, we offer Invisalign®—a modern, nearly invisible solution tailored for older teens and adults of any age.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic system that uses clear, custom-made aligners designed to sequentially shift teeth into their desired positions over several months. Unlike traditional braces that announce your orthodontic treatment, crystal-clear aligners are so discreet that most people won't notice them—a crucial consideration for self-conscious teens and busy adults!
The Benefits of Invisalign
While traditional braces are effective, Invisalign offers a multitude of benefits designed to suit your lifestyle:
- Discreet — The clear aligners are virtually invisible, meaning most people won't notice you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Comfortable — With no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign offers a pain-free experience with minimal irritation to your gums and mouth.
- Convenient and Removable — You can easily remove the aligners for meals and oral hygiene, making it simpler to maintain a healthy smile during treatment.
- Improved Appearance — As your teeth shift into place, you'll enjoy the transformation of your smile even before the treatment is complete.
- Healthier Teeth — Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Comfort — Invisalign's custom fit ensures that each movement of your teeth is gradual and precise, providing a more comfortable treatment experience.
What Problems Does Invisalign Correct?
Clear aligners are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Uneven gaps or spacing
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
Traditional braces may be more appropriate for more complex orthodontic problems; however, Invisalign addresses most of the same issues, improving comfort, functionality, and aesthetics.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work in Duncan?
The Invisalign treatment process is meticulous and personalized:
Evaluation and Planning
Your Invisalign journey starts with a detailed evaluation, where Dr. Stewart uses leading-edge technology like digital impressions to ensure precision. He then crafts your customized treatment plan, complete with a digital smile preview to show you the potential results.
Wearing Your Aligners
You will receive several sets of aligners to start you off. Wear the first set for 22 hours daily for 1–2 weeks, then progress to the next set. Each set gradually guides your teeth into their correct positions, bringing you closer to your perfect smile.
Periodic check-ins at our Duncan, BC dental office every 4–6 weeks ensure your treatment progresses as planned.
Invisalign Treatment Times
Your Invisalign treatment time depends on the complexity of your case. Some patients complete treatment in as little as six months, but the average ranges from 12–18 months.
