Invisible braces are an innovative orthodontic solution designed to discreetly straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Unlike conventional braces that can be visually unappealing, invisible braces offer a virtually unnoticeable way to enhance your smile.

Invisible braces are increasingly popular due to their comfort, aesthetics, and convenience. Here are some key benefits:

• Comfortable to wear with no metal wires or brackets
• Eat freely without restrictions—just remove your aligners while eating
• Minimal risk of injury compared to traditional braces
• Fewer dental visits during treatment
• Easier to maintain oral hygiene
• Often covered by dental insurance
• Safe, durable, and removable
• Gradual and gentle alignment tailored to your specific dental structure

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t involve wires or brackets. Instead, it uses clear, flexible plastic aligners made from materials like:

• Polymethyl methacrylate
• Acrylic resin
• Trimethyl orthosilicate

These materials are strong, transparent, and durable—ideal for discreet treatment.

Your orthodontist will provide you with a new set of custom-made aligners every two weeks. These aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

With Invisalign or clear aligners, you can enjoy your daily routine with minimal interruption—and most people won’t even know you’re wearing them!

At Ingersoll Dental Centre, we go a step further: every time you receive a new set of aligners, we often offer teeth whitening to enhance your smile even more.

At Ingersoll Dental Centre, we offer the three most common and effective types of invisible braces:

Similar to metal braces but with tooth-colored or clear brackets, ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They use wires and brackets but are far less noticeable.

Lingual braces (also referred to as Damon braces) are attached to the back side of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. They function like traditional braces but with a hidden design.

Invisalign consists of removable, transparent trays custom-made for your teeth. They are virtually invisible and provide a comfortable, discreet way to align your smile. For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and removed only for eating, brushing, and cleaning.

After completing your Invisalign or clear aligner treatment, your orthodontist will likely recommend wearing a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Here are some essential care tips:

• Clean your aligners and teeth every morning
• Rinse your trays every time you remove them
• Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
• Soak trays daily in Invisalign cleaning crystals or mild denture solution
• Maintaining good oral hygiene ensures your aligners stay clear and your treatment progresses smoothly.

The average cost of Invisalign treatment in Ontario typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000. Treatment duration generally lasts between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual dental needs.

Costs can vary based on:

• Severity of misalignment
• Duration of treatment
• Type of braces selected
• Orthodontist expertise

At Ingersoll Dental Centre, we work closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your smile goals and budget. We also assist with insurance claims to make the process easier and more affordable.

The typical treatment duration is 6 to 12 months, although this depends on your specific alignment issues.

Yes. Invisalign braces are meant to be worn most of the time, including while sleeping. Remove them only for eating and cleaning.

No. Invisible braces are known for their comfort. You may feel slight pressure or discomfort when starting a new set of aligners, but it usually subsides within a few days.

While you can remove clear aligners when eating, it’s best to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods such as:

• Nuts
• Caramel
• Chewing gum
• Sour candies
• Popcorn

These can damage your teeth or trays if consumed without removing the aligners first.
