The Best Way to Straighten Teeth
Teeth can be straightened orthodontically using braces or clear aligners.
Invisalign has become widely recognized as the leading clear aligner system globally. Dr. Natasha uses cutting-edge technology to create custom aligners through highly precise 3D digital scans, ensuring a perfect fit. These aligners are tailored specifically to your needs, providing maximum comfort and discretion throughout your treatment. Treatment time can be as short as 6 months, with noticeable results in just a few weeks. Since the aligners are removable, you can easily clean them and continue enjoying your favourite foods while maintaining a fresh, clean feeling.

For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Straight teeth not only enhance your appearance but can also prevent future dental and medical issues.
While a straight smile undoubtedly looks great, the benefits go beyond aesthetics. It’s essential to understand that properly aligned teeth play a significant role in your overall health. You might think that crooked teeth aren’t a big deal, but misalignment can impact your oral health in the long run. Teeth need to be in the right position to function effectively and last a lifetime.
Did you know that nearly 9 out of 10 people experience at least mild crowding or misalignment? This can lead to:
- Chipped or damaged front teeth, potentially resulting in tooth loss.
- Food becoming trapped between teeth, causing discomfort.
- Difficulty flossing and cleaning between teeth, which can lead to plaque buildup.
- An increased risk of cavities, particularly between teeth.
- Gum disease, which can have broader health implications, including an increased risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, and stroke.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with us for a comprehensive oral health evaluation and discover how orthodontic treatment can benefit you.
When is the right time to start?
Are you considering straightening your teeth? Maybe your dentist, has suggested that it’s time to take action. Whether you’ve been thinking about it for a while or just recently received this recommendation, it’s essential to remember that delaying treatment can lead to more issues down the road. As time passes, misalignment can cause problems like broken teeth or other oral health complications.
Your teeth will shift over time, potentially worsening misalignment.
Teeth naturally shift as we age, and the longer you wait to straighten them, the more movement your teeth will need. Starting treatment sooner not only speeds up the process but also saves you time and money. The earlier you address misalignment, the easier it will be to correct.

Whether you’re in your twenties or beyond, it’s never too late to enjoy the benefits of straightening your teeth.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
The journey starts with a comprehensive digital scan of your teeth. Using advanced Invisalign technology, we create a precise treatment plan tailored just for you. With the help of this software, we can predict how your teeth will move throughout the treatment process, even showing you the progression over the weeks, months, and ultimately the final result. Once your plan is finalized, your custom aligners are crafted using Invisalign’s cutting-edge 3D printing process.
Receiving Your First Set of Aligners
When your aligners are ready, we may apply small, discreet fasteners to your teeth. These will be bonded temporarily and are designed to help you securely wear your aligners. Don’t worry! These fasteners are barely noticeable and will be removed once your treatment is complete.
Regular Follow-Up Appointments
Each set of clear aligners is worn for approximately two weeks, allowing your teeth to gradually shift into their correct positions. As you progress through each aligner in the series, you will notice steady improvements in your smile. To ensure everything is on track, we will schedule follow-up appointments every 1 to 2 months. These visits are essential to monitor your progress and make sure the treatment is going as planned.

What Factors Determine the Cost of Invisalign Treatment?

- Oral Health: Your current oral health plays a significant role in the complexity of your treatment. If you have existing dental issues that need to be addressed, this may affect the total cost.
- Amount of Teeth Shifting Needed: The more your teeth need to shift, the more aligners and time will be required to complete your treatment, which can influence the overall cost.
- Treatment Duration: The length of your treatment will directly impact the cost. Longer treatments typically incur higher fees.
Why Does Invisalign Treatment Seem Expensive?
While the upfront cost may seem high, Invisalign offers long-term benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces, particularly in comfort and discretion. The clear, custom-fit aligner trays are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for those who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention. Unlike braces, which are fitted with brackets and wires that can irritate the inside of your mouth, Invisalign aligners are smooth and gentle. They don’t cause the same discomfort, such as pinching or scratching. Additionally, Invisalign trays can be removed, allowing you to take them out during important events like presentations or dates. The aligners apply a gentler pressure on your teeth compared to braces, making them a more comfortable option for many patients.
Invisalign is designed to gradually shift your teeth, so while you may experience some mild discomfort, it is typically short-lived. The aligners work slowly, making minor adjustments over a few weeks, which reduces the amount of pressure on your teeth. If you experience discomfort that feels more intense than usual, it’s important to reach out to us to ensure your aligners fit properly and to discuss any adjustments needed.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies from person to person, but most patients will see noticeable changes within 6 weeks. On average, treatment lasts between 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of your case. If you desire more significant changes, treatment may take longer. Dr. Natasha will work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your specific needs and timeline, ensuring that you get the best possible results.
Proper care is essential for maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of your Invisalign aligners. It is recommended to clean your aligners and your teeth twice a day. When removing your aligners, rinse them thoroughly to avoid bacteria buildup. You can soak your trays in denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals, but never use toothpaste, as it can scratch the trays. Always remove your aligners when eating or drinking to prevent any damage, and ensure you follow all home care instructions provided when you begin your treatment.
It’s best to remove your Invisalign trays before eating. When left in during eating, the strong forces from chewing can damage or even crack your aligners. Additionally, eating with your aligners in can be messy and uncomfortable. Always take out your aligners before meals to protect them and ensure your teeth remain clean.
Yes, you should wear your Invisalign aligners at all times, including while sleeping. The more consistently your aligners are worn, the more effective your treatment will be. Remember, Invisalign works by gradually shifting your teeth over time, and taking them out too often can delay your progress. Make sure to only remove them for eating and drinking, and always put them back in after cleaning your teeth.
While it’s common to experience a slight lisp or changes in speech when you first begin wearing Invisalign aligners, this is usually temporary. As you adjust to the aligners, your speech will return to normal. The smooth plastic of the aligners is custom-fit to your teeth, which makes speaking comfortable once you become accustomed to them. We’ll monitor your progress and address any concerns related to speech or alignment during your check-ups.
The best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you is through a consultation with Dr. Natasha. During this visit, she will assess your oral health, review your goals, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Invisalign is ideal for patients looking for a discreet and comfortable orthodontic solution, but a thorough evaluation will help determine if it’s the best fit for your specific dental concerns.
If you lose or damage an Invisalign aligner, it’s important to contact us right away. In most cases, you can either move on to the next set of aligners or receive a replacement tray. It’s essential to avoid delaying your treatment, as missing aligners can affect the progress of your treatment plan. We’ll provide you with the necessary steps to follow in case of loss or damage to your aligners.
