The advanced Invisalign system utilizes a series of clear, removable, soft plastic aligners to gradually align your teeth. These comfortable aligner trays fit snuggly over your teeth to gradually create a straight, stunning smile. While Invisalign corrects mild to moderate spacing and overcrowding problems; the treatment might not be suitable for more extreme cases of misalignment.
Invisalign may be a good option if you experience mild to moderate issues involving:
Our experienced dentists will evaluate your bite and recommend the orthodontic solution that best meets your needs, budget and lifestyle. Depending on your unique situation, metal braces or porcelain veneers may be viable alternatives to Invisalign.

Invisalign provides a unique opportunity to straighten your teeth without the appearance or discomfort associated with conventional braces. The brackets and wires used in metal braces can cut and irritate your inner lips and cheeks. However, the clear, smooth alignment trays used in the Invisalign system are completely comfortable and discreet.
Invisalign is an ideal orthodontic solution for many of our patients because of its many advantages over metal braces. These benefits include:
The clear aligners used in the Invisalign system are practically invisible to other people. This makes them an attractive alternative to traditional braces.
The Invisalign process is typically quicker than metal braces. How long will it take for you to complete the process and attain your final results? The answer depends on your individual situation. Most adults typically achieve optimal results after 12 months.
The edges of Invisalign’s soft plastic aligners are smooth and comfortable, preventing irritation to your lips and gums during the treatment process.
You’ll need to wear your Invisalign aligner trays at least 20-22 hours a day. However, unlike wires and brackets, you can slip your plastic aligners out whenever you choose. This added convenience permits you to enjoy all the foods you love and continue your regular dental hygiene routine.
Invisalign’s alignment trays tailored specifically for you. This will ensure that your oral structure and individual; needs are effectively addressed.
Unlike metal braces that require frequent dental visits for adjustments, Invisalign patients only need to come in for a checkup once every four to six weeks to ensure the straightening process is advancing properly. You will switch to a new set of aligner trays every two weeks.
The Invisalign system is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth discreetly, comfortably and conveniently. However, the treatment is not ideal for every patient. Generally speaking, you may be an ideal Invisalign candidate if you:
Experience mild to moderate alignment issues. Severe bite problems may require more extensive orthodontic treatment or restoration work
Do not smoke or are willing to quit before treatment
Are able to visit our office every four to six weeks for a check-up.
Are committed to wearing your aligners for 10-12 months, for a minimum of 20-22 hours every day. You can remove your trays at any time to brush, floss, eat or drink, but you wear them diligently throughout the rest of the day.
During your initial consultation at The Smile centre, one of our experienced dentists will examine your misalignment issues and determine if Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment options is best suited for your unique needs.
When choosing your Invisalign provider, it’s important to feel confident in your dentist’s ability to effectively correct your alignment issues. The Smile Centre is proud to be recognized by Invisalign as a Silver Invisalign Provider.

No two patients are the same, and your ideal orthodontic treatment depends on a variety of factors, such as your budget, lifestyle and the condition of your oral structure. In order to ensure you receive the highest quality of orthodontic care, The Smile Centre is proud to offer an alternative solution for patients who are not ideal candidates for Invisalign.
Today’s metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. They can create beautiful, healthy smiles for patients of all ages. One of the most common orthodontic treatments available, metal braces are a trusted way to get the straight smile you deserve. Using a system of metal brackets, wires and bands, braces guide your teeth to their desired position over the course of 18 months to two years.
Due to the nature of metal braces, it’s important to be diligent about frequent and thorough brushing, as bits of food can easily become lodged in the brackets and wires. Certain foods can also bend, dislodge or break wires and brackets, such as:
Metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel. Their proven effectiveness has improved the look and function of smiles for generations of adults and children alike.

The benefits of having a beautifully aligned smile can improve several aspects of your life. Following successful orthodontic treatment, you may experience:
Tooth misalignment is more than just an aesthetic concern. Cleaning teeth is more difficult when they are not properly aligned, resulting in cavities, gum disease and more. Straight teeth are easy to clean, and a healthy smile can serve you for years to come.
Tooth decay and gum disease aren’t the only problems that can result from a misaligned bite. Misaligned teeth can cause headaches and jaw pain related to Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ). A bad bite can also lead to chewing dysfunction and difficulty speaking.
Research has linked gum disease to a number of general health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, osteoporosis, asthma, Alzheimer’s and cancer. Because straight teeth are easier to clean, it’s also easier to avoid gum disease and its associated general health risks.
