Invisalign in East Vancouver

Man smiling with Invisalign clear alignersIs your smile marred by the appearance of crooked or crowded teeth? Would you like a solution but don’t want to spend years in traditional metal braces?

If you have given up hope of ever having the straight smile you want, we would like to tell you about Invisalign, a short-term orthodontic treatment that we offer at our Vancouver office, designed with your busy lifestyle in mind. Invisalign® is perfect for adults and teens who have mild to moderate misalignment issues. 

What Is Invisalign?

Instead of metal brackets attached to your teeth, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses comfortable plastic aligners to move your teeth into the desired position. The crystal-clear aligners fit over your teeth like a mouth guard, and you can remove them for meals and oral hygiene. 

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Invisalign?

Our adult patients love Invisalign aligners because they do away with many of the inconveniences of metal braces.

Comfort

The aligners are comfortable and won’t poke sensitive tissues in your mouth as braces do.

Freedom

The aligners are removable, so you can eat with ease and continue to enjoy all your favourite foods.

Discretion

Since the aligners are crystal clear, most people won’t notice that you’re wearing them.

Home Care

Brushing and flossing are easy when you don’t have to clean around brackets and wires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Researches show that crooked teeth have big impacts on one’s social life and how they are perceived by others. Most often, people with crooked teeth feel insecure and lack of confidence, so they stop smiling. It is also very difficult to achieve best oral hygiene or to maintain optimal oral health as the surfaces of crooked teeth are hard to clean. If left untreated, one with crooked teeth are likely to experience gum bleeding and receding, cavities and even more.

At Alta Dental Studio, you can pinpoint what you would like to change about the appearance of your teeth. Our dentists will provide several solutions to help you achieve your goals, and to fully grasp the benefits of the treatment that will have not only on your mouth, but your overall health and confidence.

 

Invisalign is not typically painful but can make a person’s teeth feel sore. Invisalign clear aligners are an orthodontic treatment, so when you first wear your aligners, your teeth may feel them exerting slight pressure. This same temporary soreness occurs when a dentist tightens or adjusts traditional braces. 

While Invisalign clear aligner trays are smooth plastic, they still reposition your teeth into alignment with carefully applied tension. Discomfort from your new clear aligners may last for a few days.

Patients wear a new set of Invisalign aligners every two weeks, so each time you start wearing a new set, you may expect some degree of short-term discomfort. Over time, your teeth get accustomed to the aligners, and the soreness eventually subsides. 

If you experience persistent pain during treatment, we welcome your call. Dr. Jason Liu and our team can assess your situation and offer treatment for your discomfort. 

Invisalign in East Vancouver, BC 

Do you have crooked, overlapping, or gapped teeth? If so, Invisalign clear aligners may be the solution for your smile. Invisalign clear aligners are an innovative alternative to traditional metal braces that can improve your smile’s alignment. If you’re interested in Invisalign, we invite you to contact our Vancouver dental clinic today. 

Wearing traditional braces isn’t the only way to achieve a beautiful smile and straight teeth. Transforming your smile has never been so easy with the help of Invisalign. Invisalign is a series of clear, thin, and nearly invisible alignment trays that are custom-fitted to effectively re-align your teeth over time. Invisalign is typically used for patients with mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. The length of the treatment depends on your specific orthodontic condition.

Free Invisalign Consultation in East Vancouver

Come in for a free consultation! Our team will take measurements of your teeth and gums and will provide you with treatment options that best suit your oral condition.  

The answer to this question differs for every patient. Depending on your specific needs, treatment with Invisalign in Vancouver can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, and sometimes even less in some cases.

Invisalign can correct teeth that overlap, have spaces between them, or are crooked. Invisible braces can also correct small bite misalignment concerns like:

  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite

If you are dealing with more complicated bite concerns, our dentists may recommend traditional braces or other treatment forms to help you achieve your smile goals.

Invisalign Treatment in Vancouver

The first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jason Liu to see if Invisalign is the right treatment choice for you.

Next, we take digital x-rays and share the images with Invisalign software that allows us to create a virtual model of your teeth. Our doctors use the model to plan the movement of your teeth throughout treatment. We send the details to an Invisalign lab that customizes your aligners just for you. 

Close up of Invisalign clear Aligner in East VancouverWhat Is Invisalign Treatment Like?

In a few weeks, we’ll have you return to our Vancouver dental office to give you a series of Invisalign aligners and provide instructions for wearing them.

  • Wear each set of aligners for at least 22 hours a day for about two weeks then switch to the next set in the series.
  • Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth into the desired position sequentially.
  • Remove the aligners for meals and to brush and floss.

That’s all there is to it! Our dentists will see you every six weeks or so to check in with you and make sure treatment is progressing as planned. Everyone starts with unique needs, but many of our patients see desired results in as little as 12 to 15 months. If you have more complex alignment problems, treatment may take a little longer.

Invisalign® Technology

Digital dental impression technology in Vancouver BC

Digital Impressions

In the past, the only way to obtain impressions was to use a messy liquid paste smeared in a large metal tray. These impressions were not always accurate, and worse yet, uncomfortable for the patient. Digital impressions at Alta Dental Studio eliminate this unpleasant step and provide us with a more accurate representation of your teeth.

The impressions we take produce a “digital map” that we use to develop 3-D images of your teeth. As our doctors scan your teeth, the images appear on your chairside monitor so you can see what we see.

We then use the highly detailed model produced with digital impressions to plan precise treatment for Invisalign, dental restorations, and cosmetic procedures.
