Align Orthodontics

Every patient is unique, therefore it may take a longer or shorter time period to see any changes depending on the person. Teeth straightening with dental braces may take anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. The orthodontists at Align Orthodontics will be able to give you an accurate estimate of how long your braces treatment will take based on their experience.

There should be little or no pain when you first get your braces on. However, after the first few hours, you may experience some discomfort for a day or two. Remember, your orthodontic treatment is an investment that lasts a lifetime.

The main factor to consider when it comes to the cost of your Invisalign ® braces is the total estimated length of time it will require to correct your orthodontic issues. More complex orthodontic services will also affect the cost of your clear braces treatment with Invisalign ®. Typically there are two types of Invisalign ® braces services: Express Cases – for minor orthodontic treatment, and Full Cases – for more complex treatment of orthodontic issues. The cost of your Invisalign ® treatment will be the same regardless of your insurance, but depending on your plan and provider, some of the cost for your clear aligners may be covered.

The timeline for dental treatment with Invisalign ® braces varies widely based on how complex your orthodontic issues are, as well as your age. Details that we cannot factor into this initial timeline include how well your teeth respond to the pressure from the Invisalign ® aligners. Everyone’s teeth are unique, and there’s no way for an orthodontist to give an accurate determination on how well you will respond until your braces treatment has begun. How often you wear your Invisalign ® aligners will also affect how long you will need to continue your dental treatment.

Patients can begin with Invisalign ® First treatments as young as 6-10 years old, however, we recommend first visits at age 8 to determine if your child could benefit from orthodontic treatment. Some parents prefer to wait until their children have all of their permanent teeth – usually around the age of 13. Invisalign ® is also available for teens and adults of all ages.

Once you have a treatment plan in place, our highly trained Edmonton orthodontic team will work with you to provide exceptional patient care.
