Invisalign® Clear Aligners & Teeth Straightening at SmileCrafters
At SmileCrafters Dental in Canada, we provide Invisalign® treatment designed to straighten teeth comfortably, discreetly and with a patient-centred approach. Our team focuses on creating customized orthodontic care using modern digital technology to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner is custom-made based on digital scans of your teeth, allowing for precise, controlled tooth movement.
How Invisalign® Clear Aligners Work
Invisalign aligners apply gentle pressure to shift teeth in small increments. Every one to two weeks, you switch to the next set of aligners in your series until your smile reaches the final planned position. Because the aligners are removable and nearly invisible, treatment integrates easily into your daily routine.
The Difference Between Invisalign® and Traditional Braces
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign uses smooth plastic aligners with no brackets or wires. This means:
- A more discreet orthodontic experience
- No food restrictions
- Fewer friction-related irritations
- Easy brushing and flossing
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Many patients can benefit from Invisalign, including those with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. After a comprehensive assessment, we’ll determine whether Invisalign is appropriate based on your bite, oral health and treatment goals.
Invisalign for Adults
Adults appreciate the discreet look and convenience of removable aligners, making Invisalign a preferred option for professional or social comfort.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is designed for growing smiles, offering features like eruption tabs and compliance indicators to support predictable results.
Invisalign First (Kids Option)
Invisalign First addresses early orthodontic needs, guiding jaw and tooth development in younger children with gentle, phased treatment.
Dental Problems Invisalign® Can Fix
Crooked or Misaligned Teeth
Invisalign can improve the appearance and function of teeth that are rotated or out of alignment.
Crowded Teeth
Clear aligners help create space and reduce crowding, making it easier to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Gaps and Spacing Issues
Whether small gaps or broader spacing concerns, Invisalign provides controlled movement to close spaces gradually and precisely.
Overbite
In many mild to moderate overbite cases, Invisalign can help improve bite function and overall alignment.
Underbite
For certain underbite situations, Invisalign may help reposition teeth to support a healthier bite.
Crossbite
Crossbites caused by misaligned tooth positions may be corrected using customized Invisalign aligners.
Open Bite
Invisalign can address open bites by guiding teeth into improved vertical alignment.
Mild to Moderate Jaw Alignment Issues
Clear aligners may assist in improving overall bite harmony when mild to moderate alignment concerns are present.
