Clear aligner technology is the comfortable, discreet way to straighten teeth near Brookswood, BC

Veneers get their power to correct uneven spacing from the dental ceramic used to cover gaps, giving the appearance of more aligned teeth. Braces are straightening powerhouses due to the system of brackets and wires that are tightened progressively throughout treatment, placing pressure on the teeth to reposition them. The magic of Invisalign® comes from clear teeth aligners in Brookswood and Langley City, BC. When treatment is designed and managed by Dr. Harpreet Aulakh of Smile365 Dental, repositioning your teeth with Invisalign® clear aligners is predictably successful, efficient, and well-tolerated due to the many attractive features that all revolve around aligner technology.

If Dr. Aulakh determines you are a candidate for Invisalign®, she will collect information about your mouth; for instance, digital imaging is non-invasive and gentle and renders pictures of the teeth and oral structures. Using specialised software, these images are transformed into a three-dimensional model of your teeth. This model guides the fabrication of the aligners or dental appliances worn to apply the forces that move teeth over time. Additionally, this sophisticated process allows Smile365 Dental to:

• Show you how your teeth will move throughout treatment
• Create a series of aligners that correspond with each stage of treatment, as illustrated in the virtual treatment plan and animation

• Vividly demonstrate how the aligners should be worn and cared for to ensure you get results on schedule

Compliance for many patients is easy because the aligners are not fixed to your teeth, like braces. You may remove them for comfortable eating and cleaning. As soon as you have had your meals or brushed and flossed your teeth, slip the tray back over your teeth. The trays are easy to wear. Made from a clear, safe, and smooth plastic, aligners don’t rub against the insides of your mouth. They are also discreet; no grey or silver wires and brackets looking back at you in the mirror. Your smile and the healthy and attractive changes that come with Invisalign® treatment peek right through.

Every two weeks or so, you will swap out the current tray for the next aligner in your treatment plan. Visits to Smile365 Dental are minimal; every four to six weeks, Dr. Aulakh will give you the next set of aligners and check to see how things are progressing.

Upkeep of aligners is also easy, really no different than caring for retainers, nightguards, or other oral appliances you may be familiar with – though appropriate cleaning is a must to prevent warping and stains.
