INVISALIGN® represents a revolution for those who are looking for a discreet solution to improve the appearance of their smile without the disadvantages of traditional metal braces. This method, favoured in Quebec for its practicality and effectiveness for the proper alignment of the teeth, raises many questions. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our INVISALIGN® treatments.
What is the INVISALIGN® technique?
INVISALIGN® is a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that realigns crooked teeth or closes spaces to improve the appearance of your smile! The principle is simple: A series of aligner trays is made to measure, and the custom-made aligners are replaced regularly (approximately every 2 weeks) in order to slowly move your teeth into the ideal position. These removable aligners are custom-designed to adapt perfectly to your teeth, allowing for a treatment that is both discreet and comfortable.
1. Why choose INVISALIGN®?
This orthodontic treatment uses transparent plastic aligners to correct misaligned teeth without the downsides of traditional braces. With this modern approach, you will benefit from great advantages: it is nearly invisible thanks to a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners and offers greater freedom on a daily basis.
2. What is the duration of the INVISALIGN® treatment?
Each case is unique, and the professionals at Centres dentaires Lapointe will be able to inform you about the duration of the treatment. However, we can confirm that the treatment can range from a few months to more than a year. It depends on the complexity of the case.
3. Who can benefit from the INVISALIGN® technique?
This technique is suitable for adolescents and adults wishing to improve the appearance of their misaligned smile without the constraints of traditional braces. Whether it’s to correct gapped teeth, crowded teeth, or even more complex bite issues, this method offers a flexible solution. However, a consultation with a professional from Centres dentaires Lapointe is necessary to determine whether this option is the best for your situation.
4. INVISALIGN® treatment process and duration
The treatment starts with a complete assessment including advanced imaging to create a precise treatment plan.
