Braces & Invisalign® Treatment
Many adults would like straight teeth but do not want to show braces. Invisalign® is an
excellent alternative for these patients. Invisalign® is a custom-made appliance made of medical-grade, FDA-approved plastic designed to straighten your teeth progressively.
About Invisalign®
These aligners are a straightforward, effective, and comfortable way of moving your teeth. Each tray is slightly different from the one before, moving your teeth closer and closer to the desired result. Invisalign® is an excellent appliance choice for those individuals with higher aesthetic demands. Being removable and clear, they are comfortable and easy to manage.
We offer professional Invisalign® treatment and services to people residing in Coquitlam. Our team will ensure that it sits comfortably on your teeth and is less visible. Over time, it will help restore your teeth’s alignment without affecting your smile. Call us today for more information.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process
The Invisalign® treatment process involves several steps to ensure your teeth are gradually moved into their desired position. Here’s an overview of what to expect during your Invisalign® treatment at Coquitlam Centre Dental Clinic:
Initial Consultation:
During your first visit, our dental team will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign® is the right treatment option. We will also discuss your treatment goals and answer any questions you may have about the process.
Custom Treatment Plan:
If Invisalign® suits you, we will create a custom treatment plan based on digital scans or impressions of your teeth. These will make a series of custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth to the desired position.
Aligner Fitting:
You will come in for a fitting once your aligners are ready. We will ensure that your aligners fit comfortably and provide instructions on how to wear and care for them.
Wearing Your Aligners:
You will wear them for 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
Monitoring Progress:
Throughout your treatment, you will have regular check-up appointments with our dental team to monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
Refinement:
In some cases, refinement aligners may be needed to fine-tune the results. These aligners are similar to the initial set but are designed to address any remaining issues.
Retainers:
Once your treatment is complete, you will receive retainers to maintain your teeth’s alignment. It’s essential to wear your retainers as instructed to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position.
Enjoy Your New Smile:
After completing your Invisalign® treatment, you can enjoy the benefits of a straighter, healthier smile. Your confidence will be boosted, and you can smile with pride.
