Achieve a Straighter Smile with Invisalign
Are crooked, overlapped, gapped, or rotated teeth making you self-conscious? If you find yourself covering your mouth when you smile or laugh, Invisalign could be the solution. The Invisalign system uses a series of removable, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into place. This discreet treatment is popular with both teens and adults at Canton-Plymouth Family Dentistry. Invisalign often achieves results in a similar timeframe to traditional braces, giving you a straighter, more confident smile.

The Invisalign Treatment Journey in Canton
If you're considering clear braces, we'll start with a consultation to assess your suitability for Invisalign. During this visit, our doctor will conduct a thorough oral examination. If you're a good candidate, we'll take impressions of your teeth and send them to our dental lab, where your custom aligners will be crafted.
Once your aligners are ready, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure they fit correctly. At this visit, you'll receive instructions on how to wear and care for your aligners, including how often to change them. For optimal results, you should wear the aligners for at least 22 hours each day. They are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Most patients complete their treatment in about 18 to 24 months, though this can vary based on the complexity of your case and the degree of misalignment.
Advantages of Clear Braces
Invisalign provides several benefits compared to traditional metal braces. Clear aligners are:
- Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are discreet, making them less noticeable to others during treatment.
- Convenient: The removable nature of Invisalign allows for normal brushing and flossing, and there are no food restrictions, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods.
- Comfortable: Without metal brackets or wires, clear aligners avoid the irritation often associated with traditional braces. They fit comfortably over your teeth for a smooth treatment experience.
Achieve a Perfect Smile Discreetly
Many adults avoid traditional metal braces due to concerns about appearance. Invisalign offers a discreet solution, allowing you to straighten your teeth with clear aligners that are hardly noticeable. You can wear them throughout the day without drawing attention, and if needed, remove them for important meetings or events. Just remember to put them back in as soon as you're done to stay on track with your treatment.
Invisalign for Teens
Many of our patients wonder if clear braces are suitable for teens. The answer is yes—Invisalign can address many of the same orthodontic issues as traditional braces. In fact, Invisalign offers a special version for teenagers with features tailored to their needs. These aligners include extra space for growing teeth, six complimentary replacement trays, and indicator dots to help ensure the trays are worn for the recommended time.
