Clear AlignerTreatment.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into position: no brackets, no wires, and no interruptions to your daily life. At Nanwood Dental in Brampton, we guide you through every stage of the process.
How does Invisalign work at Nanwood Dental?
Invisalign treatment at Nanwood Dental in Brampton begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth. That scan maps out the full movement plan, from your current alignment to your final result, and is used to fabricate a series of custom clear plastic aligners, each designed to move your teeth a small, precise amount.
You wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before progressing to the next. Because the aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, then put them back in. Most patients visit Nanwood Dental every six to eight weeks so we can confirm your teeth are tracking as planned and provide your next sets of aligners.
How long does Invisalign treatment take in Brampton?
Most adult Invisalign cases in Brampton take between 12 and 18 months to complete. Mild crowding or spacing issues can sometimes be resolved in as few as 6 months, while more complex bite corrections may extend to 24 months. Your dentist at Nanwood Dental will give you a personalized estimate during your initial consultation.
At your consultation, we use 3D simulation software to show you a projected outcome before you commit to treatment. Once you proceed, your custom aligners are typically ready within three to four weeks. We deliver multiple sets at each visit, so you have everything you need between appointments.
How does Invisalign compare to traditional braces?
Invisalign is not the right choice for every orthodontic case, but for patients who qualify it offers several meaningful advantages over fixed metal brackets.
Nearly invisible. The clear plastic aligners are difficult to detect during normal conversation and social situations.
No dietary restrictions. Because aligners are removed for meals, you can eat whatever you like throughout treatment.
Easier oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing are unaffected; there are no brackets or wires to work around.
Fewer appointments. Check-ins are typically every six to eight weeks rather than the monthly adjustments required with braces.
Comfortable fit. Smooth plastic aligners do not have sharp edges or protruding wires that can irritate cheek and gum tissue.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign at Nanwood Dental?
Invisalign is effective for a wide range of alignment concerns. The following conditions are commonly treated with clear aligners at Nanwood Dental:
Crowded or rotated teeth
Spacing gaps between teeth
Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Adults and teens seeking a discreet treatment option
Patients who previously had orthodontic treatment and have experienced some relapse
Very complex bite problems or cases requiring significant jaw movement may be better suited to traditional braces. Your Nanwood Dental dentist will assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate approach.
What should I expect during Invisalign treatment at Nanwood Dental?
Invisalign results depend directly on how consistently you wear your aligners. The recommended wear time is 20 to 22 hours per day. Removing them for longer than this (even intermittently) can slow progress and may require additional aligner stages.
When you switch to a new set of aligners, mild pressure or tenderness is normal and typically resolves within two to three days as your teeth adjust. A small number of patients notice a slight change in speech during the first week; this usually resolves quickly as you adapt to wearing the aligners.
Once active treatment is complete, you will be fitted with a custom retainer to hold your teeth in their new position. Wearing your retainer as directed is essential to maintaining your result long term.
