Patients ask about the effectiveness of Invisalign with Etobicoke area dentist

Drs. Shefali Tuli and Mislav Pavelic of Sherway Dentistry in Etobicoke, ON help patients understand the many ways in which they can achieve a more beautiful smile. Straightening the teeth is a cosmetic treatment that many patients want to consider to improve their smiles when misalignment is a concern. Crooked teeth or teeth that are spaced apart can negatively impact the appearance of the smile and make patients feel self-conscious. They may hide their smile behind their hands when they talk or laugh with others because they are embarrassed about how they look.

The team at Sherway Dentistry is proud to offer a method of orthodontia called Invisalign. Cases of mild to moderate malocclusion may benefit from Invisalign and are often the “clear choice” for patients when compared with traditional metal brackets and wire braces.

Treatments such as Invisalign are growing in popularity as patients are realizing how amazing they are at achieving better alignment. This method uses aligner trays made of medical-grade plastics, which are strong and smooth. They are clear, so they are very discreet. This is a great way to improve the smile without having to cover it with metal brackets and wires. The trays are each worn for two weeks at a time as patients slowly progress through their Invisalign tray series. By the time the final tray is used, patients will have fully transformed their smile!

What are some of the benefits of Invisalign?

When patients comply with treatment, they will notice fast, amazing results in just a few months with Invisalign. Most patients with mild to moderate malocclusion can achieve results in less than a year. Another benefit of Invisalign is the ability to improve the bite as well as the alignment of the teeth. Bite alignment cannot be achieved with other alternatives available at area dental practices such as Six Month Smiles. Compliance is essential to Invisalign working as expected and needs to be followed closely with routine monitoring of the smile with our dental staff. We encourage patients to book regular appointments for us to follow-up and ensure the treatment is working as planned. Patients should bring their trays with them to their visit with our dentists.

What makes Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces?

Conventional braces, including those made with metal wire and brackets, can be uncomfortable for many patients. These brackets and wires may poke at the soft tissues of the mouth causing cuts or irritation that cannot always be avoided. Many patients use messy pieces of wax to smooth these areas, but wax can fall off and protection of the soft tissues may be futile. With Invisalign, the trays are made of a smooth plastic that lays perfectly over the dental arch to eliminate the chance of irritation commonly seen with traditional braces.
