Invisalign® in Calgary, AB
Does your child have a misaligned smile? Crooked teeth and an uneven dental arch can be restored with the help of invisible braces like Invisalign®. Crooked teeth not only affect chewing functionalities but also make you feel self-conscious.
If your pre-teen or teen needs their teeth corrected, please contact our office for a consultation.
How Do Crooked Teeth Impact Oral Health?
Crooked or misaligned teeth not only spoil the aesthetics of your smile but affect your oral health in many other ways. They are harder to clean and are more prone to plaque build-up due to the food debris that gets trapped between the teeth. They also cause an imbalance in the bite, which forces the jawbone to overcompensate. Misaligned teeth are one of the main causes of TMJ or Temporomandibular Disorder.
Our dentists will evaluate and x-ray the oral cavity and determine the best orthodontic tool for your needs. Sunridge Dental Clinic is pleased to offer Invisalign®, a modern substitute to traditional braces. Invisalign® Calgary is particularly suited for teens and adolescents who lead an active lifestyle. They are also suited for patients who may be sensitive to metal.
How Does Invisalign® Compare with Traditional Braces?
Invisalign® in Calgary, AB offers a host of advantages over conventional metal braces:
- Unlike metal braces, they are less conspicuous and allow you to continue participating in social activities as before.
- They require fewer adjustments than traditional braces. Traditional braces need to be corrected every couple of weeks to ensure that teeth are shifting properly.
- Patients can remove Invisalign® easily when they need to brush or eat their meals. You can clean your teeth and re-insert them in the oral cavity.
Our experienced dentists in Calgary, AB, will make precise 3D images of your teeth before custom-fitting you with Invisalign®.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
