Saskatoon - What is Invisalign?

  • Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.

  • Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.

  • Invisalign has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide.

How Does Invisalign Work?

  • You wear each set of aligners for about 2 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 the final position your orthodontist has prescribed.

  • You'll visit your orthodontist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

  • Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Why Choose Invisalign from Stephenson Orthodontics?

  • Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

  • Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.

  • Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
