A Discreet Way to Transform Your Smile
Gone are the days when straightening your teeth meant a mouth full of metal. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. At Colwood Dental Group, we have seen a significant increase in adult patients choosing Invisalign, many of whom always wanted straighter teeth but hesitated because of the appearance of traditional braces.
How Invisalign Works
Treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth, so there are no messy impressions needed. Using advanced 3D software, we map out the precise movements your teeth will make throughout treatment. You'll receive a series of aligners, each worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though some cases can be finished in as little as six months.
Lifestyle Benefits
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and remove them for special occasions. Many of our patients appreciate that they can continue their professional lives without anyone noticing they're undergoing orthodontic treatment. The aligners are also more comfortable than brackets and wires, with no sharp edges to irritate your cheeks.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign can address a wide range of alignment issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, and crossbites. During a complimentary consultation at our Colwood office, we'll assess your teeth and let you know if Invisalign is a good fit. We also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.
