Markham Gate Dental Centre | Invisalign Braces

Shh! It'll be our little secret.

Invisalign invisibly straightens your teeth with a series of custom-molded aligners. Forget everything you've heard about teeth straightening. Because now there's breakthrough technology that lets you get the smile you always wanted without bands, brackets or wires.

A clear alternative.

By using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every 2 weeks, your teeth will move—little by little, week by week—until they have moved to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Less treatment time

A typical Invisalign case takes about a year from start to finish. You'll see your doctor every month or two to see how you’re progressing. Every few visits you'll be given additional aligners to continue your treatment. Commonly, the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but treatment time and number of aligners will vary from case to case.

Crowded issues.

When your teeth are properly aligned, they form a U-shaped arch. This makes it easy to brush them and floss between each one. If your teeth are crowded together, it makes it difficult to clean them properly, and that puts them at risk for decay. Some people are self-conscious about having crowded teeth, and wish their smile was properly aligned. Talk to us today about how Invisalign can correct crowded teeth.

Invisible. And comfortable.

Invisalign is an invisible solution. So you won’t draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you´re wearing them unless you tell. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Invisalign at Markham Gate Dental Centre could help you overcome bite problems, elevate crowding issues and close spacing issues among your teeth.

FAQs -- Click to reveal the answers to Invisalign questions

Q: How does Invisalign work to straighten my teeth?

A: Much like traditional metal braces, Invisalign corrects the positioning of your teeth by aligning them into the proper U-shaped arch, adjusting them to the proper height, fixing bite problems, and perfecting the way your teeth fit together. Instead of wires and brackets, you’ll wear a series of clear plastic aligner trays, switching to a new one every two weeks until you get the desired results.

Q: I hate my crooked teeth, but I’m 32 and don’t want to look like a goofy teenager in braces. Is Invisalign an option for me?

A: Absolutely. The great thing about Invisalign is that only you (and your dentist!) know they're there. Our adult patients love Invisalign because the aligner trays are practically invisible -- they can carry on with their careers and not feel embarrassed by metal brackets and wires. In the end, you'll have the smile you always wanted.
