Invisalign Scarborough Treatment Services
A Comfortable Way to Improve Your Smile
Invisalign is a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners that gradually move teeth, replacing metal brackets and wires. The aligners are made from 3D digital scans, and you switch to a new set about every two weeks. It can suit adults and teens with crowding, gaps, and some bite issues.
Some complex cases may do better with traditional braces. At BSRV Dental Office, your consultation includes an assessment of your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign is suitable. Our dentist can discuss your treatment options, expected tooth movement, and what to expect before treatment begins.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign can do more than improve how your smile looks. Straighter teeth can make daily brushing, flossing, and bite care easier to manage. It can also help create a more balanced bite and support better overall oral hygiene.
Easier to Keep Clean Teeth
Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out to brush and floss normally. This makes it easier to clean around and between your teeth.
Supports a Healthier Bite and Gums
Better tooth alignment can support a more balanced bite and make some areas easier to keep clean. Good daily hygiene also helps support healthy gums.
Fits Your Daily Life
Clear aligners are discreet and removable, so they can fit around meals, brushing, and work or school. Follow-up visits may also be less frequent than some traditional orthodontic appointments.

Why Choose BSRV Dental Office for Invisalign
Choosing Invisalign starts with finding out whether clear aligners actually suit your teeth and bite. At BSRV Dental Office, Our dentist examines your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite before recommending treatment. A digital scan can help create a detailed view of your teeth, while digital smile design can support treatment planning and previewing the proposed changes.
The goal is to recommend the option that fits your needs, not simply the treatment you requested. If braces are a better fit for your alignment or bite, they’ll be discussed, and cases beyond general practice may be referred to an appropriate specialist when needed.

- Personalized treatment plans based on your oral health and goals

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
Your Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation and assessment of your teeth and bite. If you are a suitable candidate, customized clear aligners are created to gradually move your teeth into their planned positions.
1
Consultation and Exam
Your treatment starts with an examination of your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite. Your dentist will discuss your concerns and decide whether Invisalign is a suitable option for your case.
2
Digital Scan and Treatment Planning
A digital scan is used to create a 3D view of your teeth and plan the movements needed. You can review the planned result before your custom aligners are made. Small tooth-coloured attachments may also be bonded to some teeth when extra control is needed.
3
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll move to a new set of aligners according to your dentist’s treatment plan and have regular check-ins to monitor your progress. Treatment may take roughly 6 months or longer depending on your case, tooth movement, and bite.
Is Invisalign Treatment Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Adults Who Want Discreet Straightening
Adults can often be good candidates for clear aligners, and age alone is rarely a barrier. Invisalign can provide a less noticeable option for adults who want to address tooth alignment.
Teens Who Can Commit to Wearing Aligners
Teens may be suitable when they can follow their dentist’s instructions and wear their aligners consistently. Good daily compliance is important for keeping treatment on track.
People With Mild to Moderate Alignment or Bite Issues
Invisalign may suit people with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Suitability depends on the teeth, bite, gum health, and complexity of the case.
Invisalign vs. Braces
Invisalign and metal braces can both straighten teeth and improve bite alignment, but they work differently. Invisalign uses removable, clear aligners, while braces use fixed brackets and wires. The better option depends on your alignment, bite, daily routine, and ability to follow the treatment plan consistently.
| Invisalign | Metal Braces |
|---|---|
| Appearance: Clear and discreet | Appearance: Visible brackets and wires |
| Eating: Remove aligners before eating | Eating: Fixed in place, so some foods need to be avoided |
| Cleaning: Remove aligners to brush and floss normally | Cleaning: Requires careful cleaning around brackets and wires |
| Comfort: Smooth plastic with fewer parts that may irritate cheeks and gums | Comfort: Brackets and wires can sometimes irritate cheeks and gums |
| Office visits: May require fewer visits, depending on the treatment plan | Office visits: Regular adjustments are needed |
| Best for: Many mild to moderate alignment and bite concerns | Best for: Complex cases and patients who may struggle with consistent aligner wear |
The right choice is made at your exam, not by preference alone. Your dentist can recommend the option that best fits your teeth, bite, and treatment needs.
Everything You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign take?
Invisalign treatment can take around 6 months for some simpler cases, while more involved cases can take longer. Your treatment time depends on the amount of tooth movement, bite concerns, case complexity, and how consistently you wear your aligners.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign usually causes mild pressure or tightness when you start a new set, as the aligners guide your teeth into their planned positions. Some discomfort can be normal, but tell your dentist if you have significant or persistent pain.
Invisalign or braces: which is better?
Neither is automatically better because the right choice depends on your teeth, bite, and treatment needs. Invisalign can be discreet and removable, while braces may be a better option for some complex cases.
How many hours a day do I wear Invisalign?
You should generally wear Invisalign aligners for about 20 to 22 hours each day. Remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing, then put them back in as directed.
What if I lose or break an aligner?
Call the dental office rather than simply stopping treatment. Your dentist may advise you to move to the next set or arrange a replacement, depending on where you are in treatment.
How much does Invisalign cost in Scarborough?
There is no single Invisalign cost in Scarborough because treatment fees vary with case complexity, the number of aligners needed, and your treatment plan. BSRV Dental Office can provide a personalized estimate after examining your teeth and discussing your treatment needs.
Can Invisalign fix bite problems, or just crowding?
Invisalign can address more than crowded teeth and may be used for certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment concerns. However, complex bite problems aren’t suitable for every patient, so your dentist needs to assess your bite before recommending clear aligner treatment.
