Many people wish to enhance their smile but believe that traditional metal braces are their only choice. If your teeth are not in good alignment, you might not be able to smile confidently. Invisalign offers the ideal option with a discrete and pleasant set of aligners that will give you comfort and, most importantly, properly aligned teeth. Invisalign treatment includes wearing a set of transparent plastic aligners that are custom-made to gently bring your teeth into the correct position over time. While you wear Invisalign clear aligners, there are no metal brackets or wires to distract from your smile.

Invisalign is suitable for both adults and teenagers. These transparent aligners are used to close spaces between teeth in addition to correcting overbites, underbites, open bites, crossbites, and overcrowded teeth. After examining your teeth and taking x-rays, we at Gateway Dentistry can evaluate if Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment in Kanata for you.  

How Invisalign Works?
Invisalign uses a custom-made series of aligners designed specifically for you to straighten your teeth. These aligner trays, which you wear over your teeth, are made of smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible plastic. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the movements your dentist has planned for you.
There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks or as prescribed by your dentist, until your treatment is complete. The best thing about the entire procedure is that most people won’t even realize you are getting your teeth straightened.
