YOUR DENTISTS ON THE PLATEAU MONT-ROYAL
Our clinic stands out in Montreal as a pioneer in using technology. In addition to paperless patient records management, these tools allow us to provide care comfortably, quickly, and with great precision.
Our clinic offers Invisalignᴹᴰ orthodontics in Montreal on Plateau Mont-Royal. Because invisible orthodontics is relatively new compared to traditional treatments, patients often wonder what steps are involved in benefiting from this more discreet and comfortable technique. Here are the different stages to expect during an invisible orthodontic treatment.
The process begins with an orthodontic consultation where your dentist evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and determines whether invisible orthodontics is right for you. It is also the perfect time to ask questions about the treatment.
Instead of using traditional plaster impressions, Invisalignᴹᴰ uses digital impressions. These are taken in just a few minutes with a digital scanner that gently scans your teeth. This captures detailed images of your dentition to create precise digital models. These models are then used to plan tooth movements and design the clear aligners needed for each stage.
Once the digital impressions are taken, your dentist creates a personalized treatment plan. At this point, more details about the treatment steps can be shared with you. Using advanced software, you can also see a simulation of your future smile. In other words, you can observe on the screen how your teeth will move throughout the process and get a very concrete preview of the final result.
The clear aligners are custom-made according to your treatment plan. Invisalignᴹᴰ manufactures the aligners based on the models created by your dentist. You should expect a delay of about two weeks between the first appointment and when the aligners are ready. During a following visit, the aligners are given to you along with all necessary instructions from the dental team.
Once you receive your aligners, you wear them according to your dentist’s recommendations. They apply precise forces to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is typically worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set. This process continues until your teeth reach the desired alignment.
Throughout the treatment, you will have regular follow-up appointments to monitor the movement of your teeth. Adjustments can be made if needed to ensure the best results. For example, the duration of wear for each set of aligners may be modified, and new aligners can even be created during the process if necessary.
Once the treatment is completed, you can enjoy your new smile. Invisalignᴹᴰ results are generally very satisfying. The smile becomes more harmonious, and orthodontic treatment also provides benefits for the health of the teeth, mouth, and jaws.
By following these steps carefully and respecting your dentist’s recommendations, you can fully enjoy the advantages of Invisalignᴹᴰ, particularly its comfort and discretion.
