Clear Aligner Therapy in Kelowna
Clear aligner therapy is also sometimes known as “invisible braces.” This is a popular treatment option for those who want to correct their bite and align their teeth, but without the look and feel of traditional braces. Clear aligner therapy can be a good option for people with mild to moderate alignment needs.
How Clear Aligner Therapy Works
Clear aligner therapy uses transparent plastic trays that fit over the teeth and slowly adjust their positions over time. Depending on how your teeth need to be shifted, you will receive several different trays during the course of your treatment. Aligners need to be worn for the majority of the day to be effective (including during sleep), but can be removed to eat and to clean your teeth and the trays.
Why Patients Choose Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligner therapy delivers several benefits that orthodontic patients enjoy. First, the aligners are nearly invisible in the mouth, allowing you to smile naturally without any visible structures in the mouth. Another benefit is that there are no restrictions to eating; as long as you clean your teeth and aligners well, you can enjoy all the foods you would normally eat. Finally, eating and cleaning your teeth and aligners is convenient and simple, because the aligners can simply be removed when necessary.
Invisalign
Invisalisn is a popular brand of clear aligner therapy, and that’s because it’s proven to get great results. Many people choose Invisalign because it’s based on dental technology that can help straighten the teeth without the discomfort and restrictions sometimes associated with traditional orthodontics.

How Invisalign Works
When you start Invisalign treatment, you’ll be given a series of clear trays. The trays are placed over the teeth. Over time, they will slowly move the teeth into new positions. Each Invisalign treatment is highly customized to a person, making sure that each of the small movements will lead to an ultimately straight and aligned smile.
Comfortable, Restriction-Free Straightening
Invisalign treatment allows you to easily remove the trays from your mouth while eating. This means that many of the traditional restrictions given for metal braces do not need to apply. You can continue eating popcorn, sticky foods, and other treats just as you would normally; you’ll just need to properly clean your teeth and aligners before putting them back in. Many of our patients greatly appreciate these freedoms during their orthodontic treatment!
