Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy

Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy for a Straighter Smile in Northeast Edmonton

At Victoria Trail Dental, Invisalign^® clear aligner therapy offers a discreet orthodontic option for patients looking to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign^® uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners designed to gradually guide teeth into improved alignment.

Clear aligner therapy may be suitable for teens and adults who want a flexible approach to orthodontic treatment while maintaining their daily routines.

What Is Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy?

Invisalign^® treatment uses a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom designed to fit your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for a prescribed period before progressing to the next set in the series.

Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign^® aligners are removable, allowing patients to eat, drink, brush, and floss with fewer restrictions. The aligners are made from clear material and are designed to be discreet when worn.

What Invisalign® May Be Used to Treat

Invisalign^® clear aligner therapy may be recommended for a range of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Crowding
• Spacing or gaps between teeth
• Mild to moderate bite concerns, such as overbites or underbites

Suitability for Invisalign^® is determined through a dental and orthodontic assessment.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

Invisalign^® treatment begins with a consultation and assessment to determine whether clear aligner therapy is appropriate for your needs. Digital scans or impressions are used to help plan tooth movement and create a personalized treatment plan.

Once your aligners are ready, you will receive instructions on how to wear and care for them. Aligners are typically worn for most of the day and removed only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Progress is monitored through periodic check-ins to ensure treatment is proceeding as planned.

Treatment timelines vary depending on individual needs and complexity. Your dentist will review expectations, wear guidelines, and maintenance requirements before treatment begins.

Life With Invisalign®

Because Invisalign^® aligners are removable, many patients find it easier to maintain oral hygiene and continue normal eating habits during treatment. Consistent wear is important to support progress and help achieve planned outcomes.

After treatment is completed, retainers are typically recommended to help maintain tooth position.
