ProviderHealthier Smiles for Adults
For many of our adult patients, aesthetics and lifestyle are primary considerations when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Where these needs converge, you'll find Invisalign there to meet you.
With work, family, social life, hobbies, sports, and more, Canadian adults have a lot going on! Such busy lives can make it tough 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 – where aesthetics meet functionality. Invisalign's creators took a close look at the needs and concerns of 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 Grown-Ups, Too
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 could be life-changing.

Just like braces, Invisalign straightens teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over a period of time.
But unlike braces, Invisalign treatment comes in the form of a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner plays its specific role and is then switched out for the next one in the series. This process continues 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 simply take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
Invisalign's discreet look is one of the main reasons why this orthodontic treatment is so popular with our adult patients. In fact, many adults 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, no adjustment appointments are necessary with Invisalign aligner treatment. This means there's no need to visit our office for adjustment appointments – just the occasional checkup.
