ProviderWhere Aesthetics Meet Functionality
If you're anything like our typical adult patients, aesthetics and lifestyle are two of your primary considerations when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Where these needs converge, you'll find Invisalign there to meet you.
What with work, family, social life, hobbies, sports, and more, your average Canadian adult has a lot going on! This can make it hard to commit to yet another responsibility, no matter how good it may be for your oral health in the long run.
Enter Invisalign's clear, removable aligners. Invisalign recognized the common needs and concerns among adult orthodontic patients and designed this orthodontic treatment method specifically to address them.
With Invisalign's removable aligners, so much of your daily life can remain unaffected. Plus, with their barely-there appearance, many of the people you encounter day to day won't even notice you're wearing them.
Orthodontic Care is for Everyone
It's never too late to start your orthodontic journey! If you're an adult who has been living with misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can be life-changing.

Invisalign straightens teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over time.
Treatment consists of a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner plays its specific role and is then switched out for the next one until the desired results are achieved.
How Invisalign Meets the Needs of Adult Patients
Smooth, Removable Aligners
The smooth, lightweight construction of Invisalign aligners means there's less friction than with the metal and wires that come with traditional braces. Plus, since they're removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
Invisalign's discreet look is probably one of its biggest benefits. In fact, many adult patients make the decision to undergo orthodontic treatment they may have been putting off because Invisalign has put their aesthetic concerns to rest.
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners require no adjustments. This means there's no need to visit our office for adjustment appointments – just the occasional checkup.
