Invisible Braces for Adults and Teens in Calgary
Since Invisalign is virtually invisible, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Dr. Andrew Chen is a certified Invisalign treatment provider. He has treated many cases with this leading edge appliance system.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to administer Invisalign treatment.
Why would I want it?
Traditional braces are not for everyone. Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You’ll visit us about once every three months to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages from 12 – 18 months, though you can start seeing results in just a few weeks!
