What Actually Happens During Invisalign Treatment?

Let’s walk through what you can expect when you choose Invisalign at our Abbotsford dental clinic:

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and goals to determine if Invisalign is appropriate for your needs.

We use digital scans to create a model of your teeth, design a custom treatment plan, and preview your results.

Based on this plan, a series of custom clear aligners is created specifically for your teeth and treatment goals.

Wear each aligner 1–2 weeks, removing only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and brushing or flossing.

You’ll visit us periodically (typically every 6-8 weeks) for progress checks and to receive your next sets of aligners.

After Your Orthodontic Treatment: Maintaining Your New Smile

Regardless of which orthodontic option you choose, retention is crucial for maintaining your results long-term:

Retainer Wear: After treatment, retainers prevent teeth from shifting, starting with full-time wear and gradually transitioning to nighttime use only.
Regular Check-ups: Periodic evaluations of your retention and overall dental health help ensure your new smile remains stable and healthy.
Oral Hygiene: Maintaining excellent brushing and flossing habits protects your investment by keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
Addressing Grinding/Clenching: If you grind or clench your teeth, we may recommend a nightguard to protect your teeth from excessive forces that could cause shifting.
Prompt Attention to Changes: If you notice any shifting or changes in your bite, contact us promptly for evaluation and adjustment of your retention plan.

Common Questions About Discreet Orthodontics Near You

How noticeable is Invisalign compared to Six Month Smiles?

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible—most people won’t notice you’re wearing them unless they look very closely. Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, which are more noticeable than Invisalign but still much more discreet than traditional metal braces.

Which option works faster?

For cosmetic concerns focusing on the front teeth, Six Month Smiles typically works faster, with an average treatment time of 6 months. Invisalign treatment for comprehensive orthodontic correction typically takes 12-18 months, though minor corrections can sometimes be completed in 6 months with Invisalign Express.

Will either option affect my speech?

With Invisalign, some patients experience a slight lisp initially, but this typically resolves within a few days as you adjust to wearing the aligners. Six Month Smiles rarely affects speech since the brackets and wires don’t significantly alter the space within your mouth.

Can I eat normally with these orthodontic options?

With Invisalign, you remove the aligners for eating and drinking anything besides water, so there are no dietary restrictions. With Six Month Smiles, you’ll need to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the brackets or wires, similar to traditional braces but for a shorter duration.
