So, if you’re thinking of finding out what all the Clear Aligners fuss is about, you couldn’t find a better team or practice to do so with.

What are Clear Aligners and how do they work?

Clear Aligners are designed to work around your life.

Receiving Clear Aligners from the experienced team at The York Dental Suite couldn’t be simpler, and treatment can be completed in three easy steps:

  • Consultation: At your complimentary consultation we’ll assess your dental health and take a 3D digital scan so we can show you the projected end result.
  • Smile Mock-up: Using digital imaging software, we’ll be able to show you how your smile will move and realign during your Clear Aligners journey.
  • Fitting: Within four weeks of having your Smile Mock-up appointment, your personal aligners will be ready to be worn.

Nearly-invisible Clear Aligners

So, Clear Aligners might not be completely invisible, but they’re as close as you’re going to get without the use of magic. Far more subtle and discreet than the likes of metal or even ceramic braces, Clear Aligners allows you to keep smiling even while straightening your teeth.

Future Perfect

Who says you can’t predict the future? With our 3D imaging and planning software, we’ll be able to show you how your future smile will look, as well as plan every moment of your treatment journey millimetre by millimetre.

And The Living is Easy…

With Clear Aligners, you can continue to live your life as normal, with no special brushes or cleaning routines to worry about. Because they’re removable, you can take out your aligners whenever you eat and to brush your teeth, although you do need to wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day in order to achieve the smile of your dreams.

Lovely Smiles for The Little Ones

At The York Dental Suite, we’re very proud of being able to help even our younger patients straighten their teeth with Clear Aligners. Our children’s range starts from the age of six, and we’ll be able to detect whether or not they need orthodontic help during their routine examinations here with us.

What can Clear Aligners fix?

invisalign before after

Crowded teeth

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.

invisalign before after

Gaps between teeth

Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.

invisalign before after

Open bite

An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.

invisalign before after

Underbite

An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.

invisalign before after

Overbite

An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.

invisalign before after

Crossbite

A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.

FAQs

1. What is the treatment process?

Clear Aligners treatment starts with a consultation with an Clear Aligners-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created.

You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.

How long does Clear Aligners treatment take?

Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months, but you’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

What are clear aligners made of and what do they look like?

Clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack created exclusively for treatment.

2. What is Clear Aligner treatment?

Clear Aligner treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.

What are Clear aligners made of and what do they look like?

Clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack created exclusively for treatment.

How will Clear Aligner treatment straighten my teeth?

Your Clear Aligner Doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Clear Aligner Doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

What are the primary benefits of Clear Aligner treatment?

Clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break.

Unlike other brands, clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which is more comfortable and provides a better fit.

Clear Aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance. As the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, we have successfully improved over 10 million smiles, including 1.4 million teen smiles.

Am I guaranteed to have straight teeth with Clear Aligner treatment?

Every smile is unique, which is why your Clear Aligner treatment starts with a consultation. During your consultation, your Clear Aligner Doctor will help you determine what Clear Aligner treatment could do for your smile. We cannot guarantee a particular treatment outcome, but encourage you to share your treatment goals with your Clear Aligner Doctor at your consultation.

3. Who is Clear Aligner treatment for?

Could Clear Aligner treatment be right for me?

Clear Aligner treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. Our innovations and technological advancements make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life. And, thanks to a discreet blue dot on the outside of teen aligners, parents can be sure their child is wearing their clear aligners enough.

How long will treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your Clear Aligner Doctor will determine exactly how long your treatment could take based on your specific needs. On average, Clear Aligner treatment time is 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

4. How much does Clear Aligner treatment cost and what are the payment options?

How much does Clear Aligner cost?

Like other types of orthodontic treatment, the price of the Clear Aligner treatment depends on the complexity of your dental correction and your course of treatment.

5. Why should I feel confident about Clear Aligner treatment?

How many people have used clear aligners?

Over 10 million people, including more than 1.4 million teens, have used clear aligners to transform their smiles.

How is Clear Aligner treatment different than other teeth-straightening options?

Clear Aligner treatment is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, backed by more than two decades of innovation.

Unlike braces, clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires and brackets, so you don’t need to change the way you brush and floss. And, you can continue to eat all your favourite foods.

And no other clear aligner is made from SmartTrack material. This advanced technology helps move your teeth more predictably and can help you get the smile you want up to 50% faster. Learn more about the Clear Aligner difference or view our treatment comparison chart.

6. What if I've had braces or other types of Dental Work?

I am currently wearing braces. Can I make the switch to Clear Aligner treatment?

Possibly. Clear Aligner Doctors are treating a significant number of patients with a combination of braces and clear aligners — consult your Clear Aligner Doctor to determine the best treatment approach for your smile.

Since having my braces removed, my teeth have shifted. Can Clear Aligner treatment fix this?

Yes, clear aligners can treat nearly all common teeth-straightening issues, from simple to complex. Many people who formerly had braces choose Clear Aligner treatment as the discreet solution to improve their smile when they find that their teeth have shifted back.

I have veneers or crowns. Will clear aligners work with them?

It depends. Talk with your Clear Aligner Doctor about the dental work you’ve had done, including veneers and crowns, and he or she will evaluate your individual needs.

I have bridgework on several teeth. Will clear aligners still work?

Clear aligners are designed to move each tooth individually. Because bridgework connects two or more teeth, clear aligners may not be effective.

7. How will Clear Aligner treatment affect my life?

Can anyone tell that I’m wearing the aligners?

Clear Aligner aligners are virtually invisible. Others may not even notice you’re wearing them, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle.

Can I take my aligners off whenever I need to?

Yes, you can remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favourite sport or instrument. Just remember to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?

None! clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy, as they can damage or get stuck in your braces.

Is Clear Aligner treatment painful?

Clear Aligner treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure” and it’s normal — it’s a sign your Invisalign clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Please see your Clear Aligner Doctor if you have any concerns or experience continued discomfort.

Sometimes when I remove my aligners, my teeth feel loose. Is that common?

Yes. As your aligners gradually shift your teeth into their proper position, your gums are re-forming around each tooth as it moves. Be sure to talk to your Clear Aligner Doctor about any concerns.

Will Clear Aligner treatment still work if I only wear my aligners while I sleep?

You need to wear your  aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the results you want.

Will wearing clear aligners affect my speech?

It may take a couple of days for your tongue to get used to having your aligners in your mouth, and you may have a slight lisp. But this should disappear quickly.

Will smoking stain my aligners?

We discourage smoking while wearing aligners because it can stain them.

Can I chew gum while wearing aligners?

No, gum will stick to your aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.

Can the aligners slip off while I’m asleep?

It is very unlikely that your aligners would ever fall out, no matter what you are doing: sleeping, talking, laughing, etc. clear aligners are designed to fit snugly around your teeth, so this should not be a cause for concern.

I went on a trip and forgot to take my aligners with me. Will my aligners still fit?

The answer depends on how long you’ve gone without wearing your aligners. If it’s only been a short time, your aligners should still fit, but they might feel uncomfortable. If it’s been a longer time, talk to your Clear Aligner Doctor about your unique situation.

8. How do I take care of my aligners?

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using the Clear Aligner Cleaning Crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

If I have food residue (like blueberries or pasta sauce) in my mouth when I put my aligners back in, can they become stained?

Yes. That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal, before placing your aligners back in your mouth.

What if I lose or break an aligner. What should I do?

If you lose or break an aligner, immediately let your Clear Aligner Doctor know. Your Clear Aligner Doctor will work with you to ensure you stay on-track with your treatment plan, which may involve wearing a previous set of aligners, your next set of aligners, or ordering replacements aligners.
