If the idea of traditional braces puts you off, removable clear aligners may be the solution!

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

You've lived with crooked teeth or a misaligned bite for years, maybe your whole life. You're finally ready to do something about it, but metal brackets and wires? That's not happening.

For a more adult-friendly, discreet option, we recommend Invisalign clear aligners at our Newmarket dental office. Dr. Kent Shin is a Diamond Invisalign Provider who has completed a significant number of Invisalign cases and consistently demonstrates a commitment to excellence.

What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign treatment involves a series of custom-made clear aligner trays. Unlike metal braces with brackets and wires attached to your teeth, the nearly invisible aligners slip snugly over your teeth like a mouthguard.

Each set of aligners is based on a plan that maps out how your teeth will move throughout treatment. You wear each set for one to two weeks before switching to the next set in your series as you watch a straighter smile slowly emerge.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

We combine advanced Invisalign technology with a personalized treatment approach to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Virtually Invisible

The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible when worn, so most people won't even notice you're straightening your teeth. You can smile confidently throughout your treatment without feeling self-conscious.

Comfortable

Smooth plastic aligners won't irritate your cheeks and gums like metal braces sometimes do. There are no sharp edges, broken wires, or orthodontic emergencies requiring urgent visits to adjust your braces.

Removable

Remove your aligners for oral hygiene and to eat whatever you want—no food restrictions or worries about getting food stuck in brackets. You can also remove them briefly for important meetings, photos, or special occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I too old for Invisalign?

No, there's no upper age limit for Invisalign treatment. Whether you're 25, 45, 65, or older, Invisalign can effectively straighten your teeth, provided your teeth and gums are healthy. In fact, more adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment to address alignment issues they've lived with for years or teeth that have shifted over time.

With Invisalign, Age Is Just a Number

Invisalign works by applying gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth gradually into proper alignment. This biological process works at any age, though treatment may take slightly longer for older adults because mature bone is denser and teeth move more slowly.

The critical factors aren't your age; they're the health of your teeth, gums, and bone structure.

Ideal for Adult Lifestyles

Many older adults prefer Invisalign precisely because it fits seamlessly into their established lifestyle. The clear aligners are virtually invisible during business meetings, social gatherings, and video calls.

You can remove them for important occasions, and there are no dietary restrictions, unlike traditional braces. For professionals, parents, and retirees seeking to enhance their smile without the appearance of metal braces, Invisalign is often the ideal solution.

Health Considerations with Invisalign

The main requirement is healthy gums and adequate bone support. If you have active gum disease or significant bone loss, we'll need to address those issues first before beginning orthodontic treatment.

As a Diamond Invisalign Provider, Smilehaus Newmarket has extensive experience treating adult patients of all ages. Call us at (647) 927-6912 to schedule your consultation. We serve patients throughout Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Aurora, and surrounding Ontario communities.

What to Expect with Invisalign Treatment

Getting started with Invisalign at Smilehaus Newmarket is a straightforward process. After determining if clear aligners are right for you, expect the following steps:

Treatment Planning — Advanced 3-D scanning technology captures precise impressions of your teeth, allowing us to create a detailed treatment plan and show how your teeth will move with each set of aligners.
Smile Preview — Using specialized software, we'll provide a virtual preview of your finished smile, so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
Receive Your Aligners — In 2–3 weeks, when your custom aligners arrive from the Invisalign lab, you'll return to our office to receive your first set and detailed instructions for wearing and caring for them.

How to Wear Your Clear Aligners

Follow these steps to get the most out of your Invisalign treatment:

Wear your aligners 20–22 hours daily. They should be removed only when you brushing your teeth, eating, and drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth.
Switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks as directed by your Invisalign dentist.
Visit our Newmarket office every 6–8 weeks so we can monitor your progress, ensure your teeth are moving as planned, and provide your next set of aligners.

Please note that treatment time varies. Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while most complete treatment in 12-18 months.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners Technology

Panoramic X-Rays

Panoramic x-rays capture your entire mouth in a single, sweeping image, including all teeth, both jaws, sinuses, and jaw joints in one comprehensive view. This technology helps us evaluate wisdom teeth position, detect jaw abnormalities, assess overall dental development in children, and screen for tumours or cysts.

Unlike traditional x-rays that show only a few teeth at a time, panoramic imaging gives us the complete picture in one quick, comfortable scan, making it ideal for treatment planning and orthodontic evaluations.
