No One Will Know You're Wearing Invisalign!

Dr. Richard Lee-Shanok understands the difficulty that some teenagers and adults have with their crooked teeth. They want to have a invisalignbeautiful smile but want to avoid getting braces. That's why he provides his patients with Invisalign treatment in his Newmarket, ON, office.

What is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment consists of clear aligner trays made of plastic that are worn by patients. The custom-made aligners are made using 3-D computer imaging technology. The plastic aligners are also transparent and shift the teeth into place by applying pressure on each of them until they are straight or in the desired position.

Each set of trays needs to be worn for at least 22 hours a day. You can remove them to brush and floss your teeth, or while you're eating and drinking. If you want to take them off for a special occasion, like a wedding, you can do so, but remember, the longer they are not worn, the longer the treatment will be delayed. Also, because they are transparent, it isn't necessary to take them off. So there's no need to worry about them appearing in pictures.

The treatment can last approximately 9 - 15 months, while the average number of trays you may use may be around 18 - 30. How long your treatment will take will depend on your initial examination and the treatment plan you and your Newmarket dentist have agreed upon.

During your Invisalign treatment, you will need to see your doctor once every six weeks. He will want to make sure that your teeth are being straightened according to plan and will assess if any changes need to be made according to your progress.

If you're a teenager or adult who needs their teeth straightened but would like to avoid traditional metal braces, then you need to contact your Newmarket, ON, dentist, Dr. Richard Lee-Shanok. He will help determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment and get you started on the right path. Just call him at (905) 830-1010 to make an appointment today!
