How Are They Different from Other Clear Aligners?

The Invisalign® aligners are made from SmartTrack® material while the other brands use off-the-shelf plastic. SmartTrack® is more predictable and offers better-controlled tooth movements. Plus, Invisalign® is much more comfortable than the other brands as each aligner is custom trimmed to fit each user’s gumline.

What Issues Can Invisalign® Correct?

Invisalign® can be used to fix several oral problems including crowded teeth, a crossbite, open bite, underbite, overbite, and gapped teeth.

Can I Preview My New Smile Before Deciding?

Yes. Invisalign® uses digital 3D technology. When you visit our office, we can create a digital 3D scan of your new smile in a matter of minutes.

How Many Aligners Do I Need to Wear?

Aligners are usually swapped out every two months. Depending on your condition, your dentist will advise you on the number of aligners you will need to wear before you decide.

I Need A Complex Alignment, Can I Still Use Invisalign®?

Yes, in the event that you need a complex alignment we can apply SmartForce attachments. These small tooth-coloured shapes are attached to your teeth and act as handles that the aligners push on to help your aligners apply the right amount of force. The aligner fits tightly over the top of these attachments, so they are barely noticeable when on.

How Can I Make Sure My Teen Is Wearing Them?

Invisalign® comes with a “Blue Compliance Indicator” that tracks how often your teen is wearing their aligner.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear, removable alternative to metal braces. It uses a series of custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into place over time — with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and easy to remove when eating, brushing, or taking photos. Whether you're a working professional or a busy parent, Invisalign offers a discreet, modern solution to straighten your smile.

How Invisalign Works

Initial Consultation

We’ll assess your bite, listen to your smile goals, and take a digital scan — no goopy impressions.

Custom Treatment Plan

Our team maps out each step of your transformation using advanced 3D imaging technology.

Wear Your Aligners

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks. They gently move your teeth closer to your ideal smile.

Reveal Your Results

Most treatments last 6–18 months. You’ll see visible progress every few weeks.

Which Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Treat?

If you're looking for a modern and effective orthodontic treatment, Invisalign can address a variety of concerns, including:

✔ Overbite & Underbite – Corrects jaw alignment for a healthier bite.
✔ Crossbite & Openbite – Prevents uneven wear and enhances function.
✔ Crowding and Spacing – Gently realigns teeth for a straighter, more confident smile.
✔ Gapped Teeth – Closes spaces for a more uniform appearance.
✔ Cosmetic Concerns – Provides a nearly invisible way to enhance your smile.

Invisalign FAQs – Ottawa Patients Ask Us…

What Makes Invisalign Different from Other Clear Aligners?

Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack® material, which provides better control over tooth movement than generic plastic aligners. This ensures more precise and effective results.

Can I See My New Smile Before Committing to Invisalign?

Yes! With our advanced 3D technology, we can create a digital preview of your future smile within minutes during your consultation.

How Do I Care for My Invisalign Aligners?

Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water before wearing them. Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to clean them daily. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Store them in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.

How Many Aligners Will I Need?

Aligners are replaced approximately every two weeks. The total number of aligners required varies depending on your case, and your orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment plan.

Is Invisalign Covered by Insurance?

Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for Invisalign in Ottawa. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your specific benefits.

Are There Any Food Restrictions with Invisalign?

No! Unlike braces, Invisalign allows you to enjoy all your favorite foods. Simply remove your aligners before eating and brush your teeth before putting them back in.
