Calgary Invisalign

Invisalign Aligners are clear, custom made, plastic, removable trays made of smooth, comfortable, and mostly invisible plastic. They are worn over the teeth and gradually move the teeth into the optimal position outlined by your Calgary Dentist. The aligner trays are changed every week or two. While traditional metal braces are permanently attached to your teeth, Invisalign can be easily removed for eating and brushing, as well as for special occasions, making them highly convenient and aesthetically desirable.

Your dentist will first devise an initial plan of what the result will look like. Then a 3D scan of your teeth will be done of the entire jaw, which will allow the dentist to move specific teeth on the screen, view the jaw from different angles, and foresee what the face might look like later on. If you like what you see, the 3D scan of your teeth will be used to create a series of individually customized clear plastic aligners. Typically, there will be 30-40 made, and each tray will be worn for 1-2 weeks. You will see your Nolan Hill dentist every 3 months to check to see if the movement of your teeth matches the movements digitally predicted for your teeth.
