Invisalign Treatment

Achieve the straight set of teeth you want, comfortably and discreetly.

At Kemptville Smiles Dentistry in Kemptville, ON, we use dental digital scanning and Invisalign clear aligner techniques to treat patients.

We're proud of our Itero Element Digital Scanning unit, and we're more than happy to show you how it works on your visit. Here are some of its features:

• Quick and easy scanning.There's no need to open your mouth too wide and for a long period. The process is easy even for those with gag reflex
• 3D images in minutes. No more goopy impressions. We can produce 3D images of your mouth within minutes.
• Improved diagnosis and treatment.High-resolution images allow for more accurate findings and custom treatment plans.
• More effective patient education.You see what your dentist sees in real-time. It's easier to understand where the issues are in your mouth and how they can be fixed.
• Faster turnaround time.We no longer need to forward models to the lab. We can create impressions in-office and customize treatment plans while you're in the dental chair.
• Integrated state-of-the-art technology.We can complete the procedure here in our office with the Itero scanning unit and the Invisalign Orthodontic technique.

We show you the initial position of your teeth down to the final position. We customize a series of virtually-invisible aligners for your teeth to move and straighten them out little by little.

Wear each aligner for about one to two weeks before moving to the next aligner in the series. We do this until we reach the final position of your teeth.

We create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Every set of Invisalign aligners is unique as it's made for its user.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

• Clear. Invisalign doesn't interfere with your daily activities. The aligners are practically invisible, so no one may even tell you're getting dental treatment. Invisalign easily fits into your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions, whether you're a student, athlete, or working professional.
• Convenient. The clear plastic aligners are made for you, so they also fit snugly around your teeth. You won't have to deal with a bulky and obvious appliance in your mouth.
• Removable. Enjoy eating food you love. You won't have to change your diet or food preferences. You can remove your aligners before eating or drinking and wear them again afterward. You can also brush and floss your teeth as you normally would to keep them clean and healthy, and your breath fresh.
• No metal brackets. Skip the awkward phase when fixing your smile. Invisalign doesn't use metal brackets or wires that can poke through your cheeks or gums. The plastic aligners are comfortable and won't irritate your mouth. You'll spend less time in the dental office as you no longer need to have metal or wire adjustments.
• No interruption. Whether you're playing sports, eating your favorite food, bonding with friends, or meeting clients, Invisalign lets you do it all as you would. Your life goes on while your aligners work to improve your smile.
• Accurate. Invisalign uses the Itero Element scanner that allows us to view your teeth before and after the treatment. You can see how your teeth will improve throughout the procedure even before starting. We reduce the risks of errors and rejections as we're not using physical impressions.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign can address various issues, including protruding and crowded teeth. Anyone can be a good candidate. But the procedure is usually recommended to older teens and adults. You may consider Invisalign if you want a tooth straightening option that doesn't affect your eating habits and daily activities.

What age can you get Invisalign?

The average is around 12-13 years old, but even younger children can start the treatment. It depends on the child's ability to commit and follow instructions. You must wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day for the treatment's success. Your dentist can assess whether your child is ready for Invisalign.

How many aligner trays do you typically get during Invisalign treatment?

You receive around 20-30 aligners to get to your desired final teeth position. The milder the case, the fewer aligners you need to wear. The more complex the issue, the more aligners you'll require.

How do I clean Invisalign aligner trays?

Cleaning your Invisalign aligner trays is necessary to keep plaque and deposits from building up. Rinse them once in a while with plain water or soak them in warm water or a cleaning solution your dentist prescribed. You can also brush them using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse and put them back on afterward or store them in a protective case.

For many years the only viable corrective procedure available to realign crooked teeth has been conventional wire and metal braces or retainers. Although these options are demonstrably effective at correcting your misaligned teeth, they, unfortunately, come with certain downsides. For one, metal braces can be physically uncomfortable as they do not conform to your teeth. This creates a number of edges that can catch on to your cheeks or lips, potentially causing injury or discomfort.
