Invisalign Orthodontist in Nanaimo, BC Canada

What Is Invisalign?

As the name implies, Invisalign® clear aligners are made of virtually invisible polyurethane plastic, instead of metal like traditional braces. Rather than being cemented or bonded to the teeth, these clear aligners are completely removable for eating, and more importantly, brushing and flossing! You must, however, resist the temptation to take your aligners out more than is recommended to ensure that your smile stays on course.

While Invisalign® is really good at what it does, there are certain situations where Invisalign® will not work very effectively, which is why it’s important to start your Invisalign® treatment with a free exam at our office in Nanaimo. At the exam, we will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for Invisalign® treatment. A key to remember is that Invisalign® works for teens and adults.
