HOW DOES IT WORK?

Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements that we plan out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you achieve the confident smile that you’ve always wanted. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

In most cases, Invisalign is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. However only after an examination can we determine the cost, based on your specific needs. Other factors may include your treatment goals, the difficulty of your case, how long you are in treatment, your orthodontic insurance coverage, and additional findings during the examination.

DOES IT REALLY WORK?

Yes. Over 2.7 million patients worldwide are smiling with confidence thanks to Invisalign. Without brackets or wires, Invisalign clear aligner treatment takes a modern approach to teeth straightening and is virtually invisible. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily.

5 Advantages of Invisalign® over traditional braces

#1. Appearance

Invisalign® Clear Braces Look Better

Metal braces can cause the appearance of the mouth to be unattractive, as though it is filled with awkward chunks of unsightly metal. They are noticeable, especially on an adult, and can get food caught in them without the wearer even being aware of it. Invisalign® clear braces are barely noticeable. They look very much as though the person wearing them is not wearing braces at all. They are decidedly more attractive than metal braces.

#2. Comfort

Clear Braces Can Be Removed When Necessary

Once we attache metal braces to someone’s teeth, the braces must remain in place until they are professionally removed. Invisalign® clear braces are removable. If, for any reason, the wearer of teeth aligners wishes to remove them for brief periods of time (to eat or drink), he or she may easily do so.

#3. Safety

Invisalign® Clear Braces Reduce Damage to Teeth and Gums

Conventional metal braces contain wire and protruding bits of metal that can puncture and scratch the insides of the mouth and gums. Clear braces are smooth and comfortable. They do not include any sharp edges or protruding edges or bits. Conventional metal braces can affect demineralization and decaying teeth. They use a great deal of force to straighten the teeth. These problems do not exist with clear aligners. Overall, clear braces reduce the damage normally caused by wearing braces, including gum disease and cavities.

#4. Duration of Treatment

Invisalign® Clear Braces Straighten Teeth Faster

Someone who wears metal braces might expect the treatment to take as long as 5 years. Invisalign® can take from only one year, to a year and a half to work its magic and straighten your teeth.

#5. Knowing What to Expect

There are No Surprises with Invisalign® Clear Braces

In considering Invisalign®, dental patients undergo treatment planning that is fully computerized. Therefore, they know exactly what to expect and how long they will need the braces before they begin wearing them. Metal braces can be a trial-and-error situation that gives no clear idea of what is to come.

Overall, Invisalign® offers distinct advantages over conventional metal braces. It costs slightly more, but in the end, is well worth the price. They are more comfortable than metal braces, pose fewer risks to teeth and gums, and provide beautiful smiles much faster. Anyone considering Invisalign® should book a consultation with Dr. Long Vo to determine if he or she is a good candidate to wear them.

Braces

Straighten up and smile right

Whether you’re an adult who has finally decided to straighten your teeth, or a parent looking to help your child achieve a healthier smile, we offer a number of orthodontic options to achieve your desired smile.

Early analysis. We like to be proactive and see our patients when they’re about eight years old for a full analysis. It’s a great time to take a look at how their adult teeth are developing, analyze the size of their jaw, and assess airway concerns, cross bites, overbites and general appearance. At this age, we can intervene early and eliminate the need for more complicated treatments in the future.

Traditional braces. Metal or ceramic brackets are bonded to teeth, and attached to a series of wires and elastics that move teeth slowly and create a straighter smile.

Invisalign®. This revolutionary system straightens teeth without braces. Using a series of clear, removable aligners, it gradually moves your teeth into the desired position. This option tends to be more suitable for adults and more mature kids, since it requires a commitment to wearing the aligners all the time, except when eating, brushing or flossing.

If you or your kids have crowded teeth, spacing problems or jaw issues, call us. We’ll do a free smile analysis to find the orthodontic solution that’s right for you.

Veneers

Emergency Dental Care Services

What are veneers?

Veneers are very thin shells that are attached to the front part of teeth. They are often made of porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are stronger than composite resin veneers and do not change colour or stain. Generally, porcelain veneers take at least 2 dental visits to apply and composite resin veneers can be done in 1 visit. Porcelain veneers generally last longer than composite resin veneers.

How composite resin veneers are done

Much like bonding, your dentist puts a mild chemical on the front surface of the tooth to be veneered to make it a little rough. This helps the composite resin to stick to the enamel of the tooth. The composite resin that matches the colour of your natural teeth is chosen so that the veneer blends in with your teeth. Your dentist then puts the composite resin on your tooth in layers. A bright light is used to harden each layer of the composite resin. After the last layer of composite resin is hardened, your dentist shapes and polishes it to form your tooth. The finished tooth looks natural and smooth.

How porcelain veneers are done

With porcelain veneers, Dr. Vo may give you a local anesthetic (freezing). Your dentist then removes a thin layer of the enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers. Then Dr. Vo makes a mold of your teeth. This mold is used to custom-make your porcelain veneers. In the meantime, your dentist may place temporary veneers to replace the portion of the tooth that was removed. These are worn until your porcelain veneers are ready. The temporary veneers are very fragile and need to be treated gently during eating and cleaning as they come loose very easily

On your next visit, Dr. Vo removes the temporary veneers and puts a mild chemical on your teeth to make them a little rough. This helps the porcelain veneers stick to your teeth better. The porcelain veneers are then glued to your teeth one by one, using composite resin cement.
