Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a system of custom-made plastic trays, called clear aligners, designed to gradually move misaligned teeth into a more ideal position. By guiding tooth movement, Invisalign can help support both the function and appearance of your smile. As a digital treatment option, Invisalign technology allows you to preview a simulated outcome before starting care. During your consultation at L’Heritage Family Dental, our team will walk you through this digital plan, review your goals, and discuss any adjustments to help ensure you feel confident about your treatment direction.

How Does the Invisalign Process Work?

Your Invisalign experience begins with a Free Consultation at L’Heritage Family Dental in Sarnia. During this visit, we take photos and digital records of your bite and submit them to Invisalign for assessment. Our dentists then collaborate with Invisalign’s planning software to create a customized treatment plan and provide a digital preview of your potential results. You will have the opportunity to review the digital plan, ask questions, and request modifications before beginning treatment. Once approved, you will receive a series of aligners—typically changed every one to two weeks—until your treatment is complete. Every Invisalign case is unique, so our team will explain what to expect based on your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that apply controlled pressure to gradually move teeth into planned positions. Patients progress through a series of aligners over the course of treatment, with periodic dental appointments to monitor progress. The aligners are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
2. Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign may be suitable for teenagers and adults with concerns such as crowding, spacing, or certain bite problems. Whether Invisalign is appropriate depends on the type and complexity of tooth movement required, your oral health, and your ability to wear the aligners consistently. An assessment is needed to determine whether clear aligners are a suitable option.
3. How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of tooth movement required. Some cases may be completed within several months, while others can take a year or longer. Your provider can give you a more specific estimate after assessing your teeth and creating a treatment plan.
4. How many hours a day do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are generally intended to be worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day. They are usually removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing the aligners as directed is important because inconsistent wear can slow treatment or affect planned tooth movement.
