Invisalign in Richmond Hill & Thornhill

Traditional braces that may attract more attention to your teeth may have held you back from improving your smile…that was the case until now! If you're already self-conscious about your smile, Invisalign offers a discreet solution.

Our Richmond Hill dental office offers Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign are custom-fitted removable trays which are changed about every two weeks, progressively straightening, aligning and improving your smile. The Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic and are virtually unnoticeable to those around you.

Depending on your individual situation, the duration of the procedure is about the same as traditional braces …but the results are indisputable.

Beyond aesthetics, Invisalign offers additional advantages:

Removable trays make cleaning and oral hygiene easier
You can maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine
Trays can be conveniently removed while eating
Say goodbye to irritation from metal braces
Properly aligned teeth benefit speech, chewing, gum health, and bone health

Uses of Invisalign

Although the most common use of Invisalign is to straighten teeth, there are a few other issues that it can fix. For example, if you have gaps between your teeth, Invisalign can reduce the gap and decrease the risk of tooth decay. Invisalign can also help with crowding, overbites, and crossbites.

The Invisalign Procedure

If you are interested in getting Invisalign treatment, set up a consultation appointment with our Richmond Hill dentist Dr. Anthony Bastone. He will ask you about your goals, design a treatment plan with you, and take impressions of your teeth.

During the treatment, you will need to replace the custom-fit plastic aligners every week and visit Dr. Bastone every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress. Typically, Invisalign treatment lasts about 1 year and you will have an improved smile in no time!
