What Is Invisalign® and Suresmile?
Invisalign® and Suresmile, offered by My Victoria Dentist in Canada, revolutionize orthodontic treatment with their discreet, comfortable, and effective solutions. These innovative systems employ clear plastic trays tailored precisely to fit each patient's teeth, gradually guiding them into optimal alignment. Unlike conventional braces, these aligners are practically invisible, making them popular for those seeking a more discreet option.
Furthermore, their removability ensures ease of oral hygiene maintenance and allows for comfortable eating without dietary restrictions. Invisalign® and Suresmile have become synonymous with modern orthodontic care, providing patients in Victoria and beyond with a convenient and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces.

The Process of Invisalign® Treatment
We begin by acquiring a highly detailed 3-D map of your teeth and gums using an optical scanner and imaging software. This map helps study how your teeth will move during the different stages of treatment, eventually aligning them appropriately. We can also use the software to simulate how your teeth look after alignment before starting treatment. The 3D image is sent to Invisalign® with instructions. At Invisalign®, several sets of clear plastic trays called aligners are fabricated and returned to the office. Retentive elements are added to the teeth at your next appointment to assist in movement.. Sometimes, the teeth will need to be narrowed to allow straightening. Every 1-2 weeks, the aligners are replaced with a new set of aligners which gradually improve the alignment of the teeth. Ideally, the aligners are worn 20-22 hours per day. Once the ideal alignment of the teeth is achieved, the retentive elements are removed, and retainers are given to prevent the teeth from relapsing to their original position.
What Can Invisalign® Treat?
Invisalign® is a great solution for:
-
Misaligned teeth: Also known as crooked teeth, it can cause various dental conditions and affect the appearance and functionality of the mouth.
-
Crowding: It occurs when the teeth are twisted and misaligned, leading to a lack of space in the jaw. Invisalign® can gradually reposition the teeth into their proper alignment, creating a straighter smile.
-
Crossbite: It is a condition where the upper and lower teeth don't line up correctly when the mouth is closed. Invisalign® applies gentle pressure to guide the teeth to optimal positions, ensuring a more balanced bite.
-
Overbite: An overbite occurs when the top front teeth protrude beyond the lower front teeth. Invisalign® can gradually shift the upper teeth backwards and the lower teeth forward, achieving a more aesthetically pleasing bite.
-
Underbite: It occurs when the lower teeth extend farther than the upper teeth. Invisalign® moves the lower teeth back and the upper teeth forward, helping to improve the alignment and functionality of the jaw.
-
Open bite: It refers to a condition where the front upper and lower teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. Invisalign® Victoria can guide the teeth into proper alignment, allowing them to meet when the mouth is shut.
-
Gaps between teeth: Also known as diastema, small extra spaces can occur between teeth. Invisalign® can be suitable for filling these large gaps.
