Are you looking for a way to straighten your teeth without the appearance and discomfort of traditional braces? At North York Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign, a modern, virtually invisible orthodontic treatment ideal for adults and older teens who want a discreet and comfortable solution to enhance their smile.

The Clear Choice for Straightening Teeth

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces that rely on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are smooth, discreet, and easy to wear. You can remove them for eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions, making them a convenient alternative to fixed orthodontics.

With over one million people choosing Invisalign worldwide, it’s easy to see why this system has become so popular. Benefits include:

• Subtle and nearly invisible treatment
• No brackets or wires
• Custom-fitted comfort
• Removable for meals and hygiene
• Shorter treatment times in many cases

How Invisalign Works

The process begins with digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. Your dentist will then create a personalized treatment plan and design a series of aligners tailored to your unique smile. Each set is worn for 2–4 weeks, gently moving your teeth a little at a time until they’re perfectly aligned.

Most patients complete their treatment in 6 to 24 months, depending on factors such as tooth crowding, the extent of movement required, and how closely the aligners are worn—ideally 22 hours per day for best results.

Invisalign FAQs

Can Invisalign be used for kids?

Invisalign is best suited for older teens and adults. Younger children often lack the discipline to wear the aligners consistently and may still have their baby teeth developing.

Is it really invisible?

Yes! The clear plastic aligners are nearly undetectable when worn, allowing you to maintain a natural appearance during treatment.

Is it painful?

Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. Some pressure may be felt when switching to a new set of aligners, but it’s typically mild and temporary.
