Think about picture-perfect wedding photos, career-making presentations and first dates that take your breath away; these defining moments deserve your most confident smile, not a flash of metal catching the light. While traditional braces can feel like pressing pause on life for wire adjustments and food restrictions, Invisalign® quietly transforms your teeth while you keep living your best life.

No more cancelled dinner plans because a bracket broke or passing on your favourite crunchy foods. Just clear, comfortable aligners that gradually perfect your smile while fitting seamlessly into your daily routine. The best part? Most people won't even notice you're wearing them, but they'll definitely notice your growing confidence as your smile transforms.

What Is Invisalign?

If you’re a teen or adult with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, clear aligner therapy may be a good option for you. Invisalign clear aligners can correct the following dental issues:

  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite
  • Gapped teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Misaligned teeth

Discovering the Benefits of Invisalign

Clear aligner therapy boasts many benefits over traditional braces. Some of the benefits include the following:

  • Appearance — Your clear aligners are nearly invisible, so you won’t feel embarrassed to wear them. People may not even know you’re wearing them!
  • Comfort — Invisalign aligners are made from flexible plastic, making them more comfortable than braces. Traditional braces can cut your gums, lips and tongue.
  • Cleaning — Your clear aligners are easy to clean. All you have to do is rinse them off when you remove them and brush them with a toothbrush.
  • Hygiene — Because you can take your aligners out to brush and floss your teeth, you can enjoy improved oral hygiene and avoid dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Fewer visits — You don’t have to make as many dental visits when you choose Invisalign aligners. Traditional braces use wires that need to be adjusted; you can avoid those visits with clear aligners.
