Invisalign Runaway Bay & Helensvale
You deserve to enjoy excellent oral health and a beautiful smile that you’re proud to share. With invisible braces, we have helped many patients achieve both of those goals.
Why Choose Orthodontics?
In our dental practice, we see the effects of crooked teeth and misaligned bites all the time. When people have crooked or flawed teeth, they often try to hide their smiles, which is unfortunate.
Thankfully, smile improvements created with orthodontic treatments, like invisible braces, may offer the confidence boost some patients need to share their smiles again.
In addition to changing your smile’s appearance, orthodontic treatment can also make your oral hygiene routine more effective, leaving your teeth and gums cleaner and healthier. With cleaner and healthier teeth, you will likely encounter fewer dental problems.
Plus, with a better-aligned bite, you may have an easier time chewing and experience less wear on your teeth.
If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, we invite you to call Bayview Dental Centre with any questions about invisible braces. We enjoy helping patients choose the right course of treatment for their specific situation.
Benefits of Invisible Braces
Many teen and adult patients have considered orthodontic treatment options but don’t want to deal with the aesthetics of traditional braces. However, with invisible braces, patients don’t have to worry about their appearance while undergoing orthodontic treatment. A significant benefit of invisible braces is their ability to discreetly straighten your teeth, fixing problems like misalignment and gaps between your teeth.
There’s no need for your co-workers or schoolmates to know that you are pursuing a more attractive, functional smile with invisible braces. And that’s not the only benefit they provide.
We have outlined some of the other benefits of invisible braces below:
- No need to change your diet or oral hygiene routine thanks to removability
- Short treatment time for most mild to moderate cases of misalignment
- Fewer visits to the dentist or orthodontist for adjustments than with traditional braces
- Easy to maintain and keep clean
- New, digital systems make the treatment process faster and easier than it’s ever been
- Enjoy comfortable treatment due to their flexible, smooth plastic design
Due to these many conveniences, we enjoy helping patients straighten their teeth with invisible braces at Bayview Dental Centre, and we would love to help you.
Are Invisible Braces Right for Me?
If you’re concerned about mild to moderate misalignment or small gaps between your teeth, invisible braces may provide a great alternative to traditional braces. In our dental practice, we use Invisalign Go aligners in mild to moderate cases to help patients quickly and efficiently create a straighter smile.
Invisalign Go offers patients short treatment times because the focus is on straightening only the anterior (front) teeth. With this approach, you’ll likely enjoy faster results than you would with traditional Invisalign treatment or braces.
Of course, invisible braces require some dedication from patients, especially if you want to accomplish quick results. You must wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day and change them out according to the schedule provided by your dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both Invisalign and traditional braces can effectively straighten teeth and improve your oral health and smile. Invisalign is a great option for those who want a discreet and comfortable treatment, and it can produce great results for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Traditional braces are also a reliable option and may be more effective for more complex cases. Your dentist can recommend the best option for you based on your unique needs and preferences, and either way, you’ll be on your way to a beautiful and healthy smile.
Invisalign uses custom-made clear plastic aligners that fit over your teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position. The aligners are created using 3D imaging technology and are worn for two weeks before switching to a new set. Regular appointments with your dentist are necessary to monitor progress. Invisalign is virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing, making it a convenient option for many people.
Yes, both adults and children can use Invisalign to straighten their teeth. However, the suitability of Invisalign will depend on the individual’s orthodontic needs, as it may not be the best option for those with more complex issues. A dental professional can evaluate and recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and your specific treatment goals. In general, Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from a few months to about two years.
For simple cases involving minor tooth movement, treatment may be completed in as little as six months. More complex cases, such as those requiring significant alignment changes or bite correction, may take closer to the two-year mark.
Your dentist or orthodontist will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate of how long your treatment will take after evaluating your specific needs during a consultation.
Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners to eat and drink. One of the advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions. However, it’s important to remember to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. After eating or drinking anything other than water, it’s important to brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.
To clean your Invisalign aligners, rinse them with lukewarm water every time you remove them to prevent buildup, then gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild, clear antibacterial soap. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be abrasive. Additionally, soak your aligners in a denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals as directed by your dentist or orthodontist to remove stubborn buildup. Remember not to use hot water, as it can warp the aligners. Store your aligners in their case when not in use to protect them from damage and bacteria, and clean them at least once a day to keep them clear and odour-free.
