Invisalign is an orthodontic device that uses transparent, incremental aligners to adjust teeth as an alternative to traditional wire braces. These virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after.
Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and have been proven effective in treating tooth alignment issues. However, not all patients are suitable for Invisalign treatment. Only a trained and licensed Invisalign provider can determine if you will be a suitable candidate. Floss & Gloss Dental is a Preferred Invisalign Provider in Edmonton; book a consultation with us to see if Invisalign is the right solution for you.
Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are free from intrusive metals and wires, making them more comfortable to wear than traditional braces and which also means that less time needs to be spent coming in for adjustments.
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to brush, floss, eat, and drink anything other than water. As you advance your aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, day by day, week by week — until they have straightened to their designated final positions.
We will see you about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages about 9 to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from person to person. Please ask us during your orthodontic consultation for more detailed explanations.

When you visit us for a Free Invisalign consultation, we will discuss various options for your orthodontic treatment and your smile goals. Once you decide to start Invisalign treatment, we will take X-rays, images, and impressions of your teeth. This information will be used to create a 3-D image of your mouth.
Your personal treatment plan will be created based on 3D images and impressions of your teeth. It will include the movements of your teeth necessary to achieve a beautifully aligned smile and treat any bite issues. Invisalign will then create your series of custom-made aligners.
You’ll then receive your custom aligners when they’re done being made. Each aligner is slightly different than the previous one, and are designed to progressively shift your teeth into the desired position over time. You’ll swap out the aligners on your own at home approximately once every two weeks, according to your individual treatment program. This process typically takes about 12 – 18 months, though treatment time varies depending on various factors.
