Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Saskatoon
Invisalign And Clear Aligners At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. They use a set of thin trays that fit closely over your teeth and apply gentle pressure. Over time, the trays guide teeth into new positions. Because they’re removable, patients can take them out for meals, brushing, and flossing.
How Treatment Works
Treatment begins with an exam and digital impressions. A plan is created to map out how teeth will move. A series of aligners is then custom-made for you. Every week or two, you switch to the next set, which continues the movement. The dentist checks progress at regular visits to be sure teeth are shifting as expected.
Why Patients Choose Aligners
For many people, the appeal is simple: aligners are clear, so they’re harder to notice. Being able to remove them makes eating and cleaning easier. They can fit into busy routines, which is why adults often prefer them.
Points To Consider
Aligners must be worn most of the day — usually 20 to 22 hours — to work properly. Skipping trays or leaving them out too long can slow progress. They may not be right for more complex bite problems. In those cases, braces might be the better option.
Everyday Life With Aligners
Most patients adjust quickly. There may be mild pressure each time a new tray is started, but it fades as teeth shift. Because the trays are smooth, irritation is usually minimal compared to braces. Good oral hygiene is still important, since aligners trap whatever is left on the teeth.
