Looking for a way to straighten your teeth without the look and feel of traditional metal braces? At Galloro Dental Group we offer Invisalign to our Sunnybrook patients who want to improve their smile discreetly and comfortably. Invisalign has changed the way people think about orthodontic treatment, making it more accessible and convenient for adults and teens. We’ve helped many patients achieve the straight, beautiful smile they’ve always wanted without the restrictions and appearance of traditional braces. Our team is committed to personalized care throughout your Invisalign journey so you feel supported and informed every step of the way.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into place. These custom-made aligners are made from a digital scan of your teeth and a treatment plan designed specifically for your unique dental needs. Each set of aligners makes subtle adjustments to the position of your teeth according to the plan we create for you. The aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth without the irritation of metal brackets and wires. Many of our Sunnybrook patients choose Invisalign because the aligners are virtually invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is the freedom it offers compared to traditional braces. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out when you eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss. This means no food restrictions and it’s much easier to keep your teeth clean during treatment. You simply remove the aligners, eat or clean your teeth and then put them back in. Our Family Dentist team always reminds you to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day to stay on track with your treatment plan. Consistency is key to getting the best results in the shortest time.The Invisalign process starts with a consultation at our office. During this visit we’ll examine your teeth, discuss your goals and determine if Invisalign is right for you. If you decide to proceed we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced scanning technology – no gooey putty impressions needed. These scans will be used to create a 3D model of your teeth which will allow us to map out a precise treatment plan showing the exact movements of your teeth and give you a preview of your expected results. Many patients find it exciting and motivating to see a simulation of how their smile will improve throughout the treatment.
Once your custom aligners are ready we’ll provide you with several sets and instructions on how to use them. You’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Each new set of aligners will feel slightly tight at first, this means they’re working to move your teeth. This feeling usually subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust. We’ll schedule check-up appointments every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners. These appointments are usually quick and painless and we respect your time while ensuring your treatment is on track.
Many patients wonder how long their Invisalign treatment will take. The answer depends on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. For some patients with minor alignment issues treatment may take as little as six months. More complex cases typically take 12 to 18 months. During your consultation we’ll give you a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs. At Galloro Dental Group we believe in setting realistic expectations and providing transparent information about your treatment journey. We’ll do whatever it takes to get great results for our Sunnybrook patients even if it takes a little more time to get your teeth perfectly aligned.The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case and the length of your treatment. While Invisalign may be more expensive than traditional braces in some cases, many patients feel the benefits are worth it. We work with most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic coverage to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Our office also offers financing options to make Invisalign more affordable for our patients. During your consultation we’ll break down the costs involved and discuss payment options that fit your budget. We believe everyone deserves a healthy beautiful smile and we strive to make our treatments affordable without compromising on quality.
Caring for your Invisalign aligners is easy. We recommend rinsing them with lukewarm water whenever you remove them and brushing them gently with a soft toothbrush to keep them clean and clear. Don’t use hot water as it can warp the plastic. Also, make sure to brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent trapping food particles against your teeth which could lead to cavities or gum problems. When not in your mouth store your aligners in their protective case to avoid loss or damage. We’ll provide you with detailed care instructions when you start your treatment and answer any questions you may have throughout the process.
After your Invisalign treatment is complete you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. This is true for any orthodontic treatment not just Invisalign. Without retainers teeth will naturally drift back to their original position over time. Initially you’ll likely need to wear your retainers full-time, except when eating and cleaning your teeth. After a period determined by your dentist you may transition to wearing them only at night. We offer different types of retainers including clear removable ones similar to Invisalign aligners and will recommend the best option for your specific needs. Consistent retainer use is key to keeping the beautiful results you’ve achieved. Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites and crossbites. However there are some complex cases that may be better suited for traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments. During your consultation we’ll evaluate your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your specific dental concerns. If we feel another treatment would be better for you we’ll discuss alternative options with you. We always recommend the best treatment path even if it’s not Invisalign. Honesty and transparency is our top priority in our patient relationships.
Beyond straightening your teeth Invisalign offers several other benefits for your oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean which can reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also help prevent abnormal wear on your teeth, reduce jaw pain and even alleviate some headaches caused by dental misalignment. After your Invisalign treatment many patients choose to enhance their newly straightened smile with professional Teeth Whitening treatment. The combination of straight white teeth can transform your appearance and boost your confidence in social and professional situations.
