The Clear, Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Smile

When most people think of orthodontic treatment, they picture traditional metal braces. While braces are still an excellent solution for many patients, modern dentistry offers a more discreet and comfortable alternative — Invisalign® clear aligners, available at Glenashton Dental Centre in Oakville.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners crafted from smooth, medical-grade polyurethane plastic. These nearly invisible trays gently and gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions — without the need for metal brackets or wires.

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods, brush and floss with ease, and smile confidently throughout your treatment.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign offers many advantages over traditional braces, making it a popular choice for both adults and teens:

• Virtually Invisible
  The clear aligners are barely noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly — perfect for professionals, students, or anyone who wants to improve their smile without visible braces.
• Removable Convenience
  You can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This flexibility means no dietary restrictions and easier oral hygiene compared to fixed braces.
• Comfortable Fit
  Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth, eliminating the irritation caused by metal wires or brackets.
• Better Oral Health
  Since the aligners are removable, you can maintain excellent brushing and flossing habits throughout treatment, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, gum inflammation, or enamel staining.
• Protects Against Grinding
  Invisalign trays can also act as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to minimize wear caused by clenching or grinding (bruxism).

The Invisalign Process

1. Consultation & Digital Scan – Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at Glenashton Dental Centre. Using advanced 3D imaging, your dentist will take a digital scan of your teeth to design a personalized treatment plan.

2. Custom Aligner Fabrication – Your aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. Each set is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next in the series.

3. Gradual Alignment – Over time, your teeth will gently shift into their ideal positions. You’ll visit your dentist periodically to monitor progress and receive your next sets of aligners.

4. Your New Smile – After completing treatment, you’ll be given retainers to help maintain your beautifully aligned smile.

Invisalign Cost and Value

Invisalign treatment is a smart investment in both your smile and your confidence. While the cost of Invisalign in Oakville varies depending on your specific case, many patients find it comparable to or even more affordable than traditional braces.

Because the aligners are removable and durable, there’s typically less need for repairs or emergency visits — helping you save time and money throughout treatment.
