Why Invisalign and an orthodontist matter
How Invisalign and orthodontic treatment works
Orthodontist treatment in Toronto is designed to gradually move teeth into improved positions using carefully planned forces applied over time.With Invisalign, patients wear a series of custom-made aligners that are replaced approximately every one to two weeks, depending on the treatment plan. Each new aligner is designed to make small adjustments until the desired tooth movement is achieved.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires that are adjusted periodically throughout treatment to guide tooth movement. Regardless of the treatment selected, regular appointments allow our dentist to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.

What dental issues can Invisalign and orthodontic treatment address?
Crowded teeth
Teeth that overlap can be more difficult to clean and may contribute to plaque accumulation.
Spacing Between Teeth
Noticeable gaps may affect smile appearance and, in some situations, bite function.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth more than expected.
Underbite
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
Crossbite
Crossbites may affect one or several teeth and can contribute to uneven tooth wear.
Open Bite
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not contact properly when the mouth is closed.
Following your examination, our dentist will discuss whether Invisalign in Toronto, ON, or another orthodontic treatment is appropriate for your specific concerns.
