We at Port Coquitlam Dental Centre are proud to offer Invisalign® invisible braces to our patients who desire straighter teeth without the inconvenience of traditional metal braces.
Invisalign® invisible braces are potentially ideal for anyone who requires orthodontic treatment but does not wish to wear traditional metal braces. Adults and post secondary students are excellent candidates for Invisalign®.
Invisalign® invisible braces can straighten teeth gently and gradually without brackets, bars, and bands. Because Invisalign® invisible braces are easily removable, patients can eat, brush, and floss as they normally would. Patients who are interested in immediate improvement for misaligned teeth may be good candidates for porcelain veneers, also known as “instant orthodontics.”
If you’ve been delaying orthodontic treatment because of dental anxiety or concerns about the appearance of traditional braces, the Invisalign® system allows you to receive effective treatment without discomfort or cosmetic inconvenience. Other people will not be able to notice that you are undergoing treatment! To find out whether you are a candidate for Invisalign® orthodontic treatment, we invite you to contact Port Coquitlam Dental Centre
INVISALIGN® TREATMENT
After impressions are made of the patient’s bite, Invisalign® 3-D digital imaging software is used to create a series of clear retainers. The first retainer in the series is designed to fit comfortably over the patient’s teeth in their current alignment. The last retainer in the series is shaped closely to the desired final alignment. After wearing each aligner for approximately two weeks, the patient will remove the aligner and replace it with the next one in the series. In this manner, teeth are straightened gradually and gently without the hassle and discomfort of traditional metal braces. Treatment with Invisalign® invisible braces can be completed with approximately 18 to 30 aligners.
Our friendly and caring staff will provide you with financial information and assistance and will help determine the amount of coverage that you are eligible to receive from your insurance company for Invisalign® treatment.
