Obtain orthodontic realignment with Invisalign treatment
In the past, teeth straightening was only achieved using traditional orthodontics, such as metal bracket-and-wire braces. That caused many individuals to avoid talking to their dentist about realigning their smile to avoid the embarrassment of using metal appliances to achieve desired results. Fortunately, the field of orthodontics has changed dramatically. Now, patients can use orthodontic alternatives such as Invisalign aligners to get the smile they’ve always dreamed of without the embarrassment of metal appliances. Drs. Geeta Gautham and David Ma of Humber Valley Dental in Bolton, Ontario, can educate you further on Invisalign aligners and how they work to help you understand your options better when it comes to realigning the teeth.

Real Patients – Real Results
How do Invisalign orthodontics work?
Invisalign is an orthodontic procedure that straightens the teeth using clear, removable aligners. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, so no one will know you are wearing them unless you say something!
The Invisalign system uses a specialized series of custom-made, clear aligners to move your teeth slowly into the desired position. The patient uses each aligner tray for about fourteen days before replacing it with the next in the series. As you replace each aligner tray, your teeth will gradually move until they reach their final, ideal position.
What are some benefits of using clear orthodontic braces instead of traditional ones?
In addition to being virtually invisible, Invisalign trays are also removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you want without worrying about food or candy getting stuck in metal brackets or wires. It also makes it simpler to floss, eliminating the need for dental accessories to get the floss between the teeth and the metal aligners. Thanks to the ease of caring for the teeth and gums during treatment, those who use Invisalign have fewer periodontal issues such as decay or disease.
Why might patients consider Invisalign instead of metal bracket-and-wire braces?
Invisalign has many advantages over more traditional methods of treatment. These include:
- Clear appearance.
- No diet restrictions.
- Easier oral health care.
- Less risk of cavities and disease.
- More confidence and improved self-esteem.
- Comparable in cost.
How long does it take to get my finished smile with Invisalign?
Invisalign orthodontics takes time, and the duration needed to achieve the final results will vary depending on the severity of one’s condition. Severe cases of misalignment will take longer, but most of our patients will find that they can achieve their results in about a year on average.

This is what our patients say about their experiencee with Invisalign
"★★★★★
I am two weeks into Invisalign treatment, and my only regret is that I did not start treatment sooner.
I've always wanted my teeth straightened but metal braces wouldn't work with my busy lifestyle. The aligners
are so easy! I love the freedom to eat normally and brush and floss with ease.
From the initial consultation with Gina to the first invisalign attachment appointment with Chris and Dr.
Gautham the process has been effortless.
Being a mom of two boys and constantly on the go, as most mothers know, we seldom make the time to put
ourselves first. I am so glad I made the time for this investment in myself.
