About Invisalign

The Invisalign System is a series of clear orthodontic appliances, called aligners, which allow you to straighten your teeth without having to wear traditional braces. Invisalign is an esthetic orthodontic appliance that corrects malocclusion using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible, removable Aligners. Each set of custom-made aligners is worn for about two weeks and moves the teeth in small steps to the desired final position. All of the benefits of traditional braces while being almost invisible.

After thoroughly investigating the Invisalign system, Dr. Kanani determined that it was proven to be a safe and effective method to provide patient treatment in certain cases. This is particularly true for those patients who have avoided receiving treatment because they did not want to wear braces.

Dr. Kanani is a certified and experienced Invisalign orthodontist. After a quick visit to our office we will be able to let you know if you are a candidate for the Invisalign System. Please call our office for a complimentary Invisalign examination to see if this unique orthodontic treatment will work for you!

Most Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear "aligners" are produced. Each "aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

  • Invisalign is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

  • Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.

  • Invisalign is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments.

  • Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start—so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Does Invisalign treatment work for everybody?

All of your permanent teeth must be present before Invisalign treatment becomes an option.  In most patients, this happens between the ages of 12 and 13.  Invisalign is of course a great treatment option for adults as well.  Not all patients are candidates for Invisalign braces.  Call our office at 604-589-2212 for a consultation so our Certified Invisalign orthodontists can determine if Invisalign will work for you.

What are aligners made of?

Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.

What do aligners look like?

Aligners are clear and look similar to tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth.

Is this a new way to straighten teeth?

For years, orthodontists have used removable appliances for limited treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology and custom manufacturing, Invisalign treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.

How old is this technology?

In 1945, Dr. H.D. Kesling envisioned that one day modern technology would enable the use of a series of tooth positioners to produce the kinds of movements required for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Technology has made this vision a reality. Using advanced computer technology, Dr. Kanani will prescribe a highly customized prescription and treatment sequence using a series of customized clear appliances, called "aligners." Each aligner is worn sequentially, by the patient to produce extensive tooth movements in both upper and lower arches.  Aligner wear is adjusted and monitored as necessary by Dr. Kanani to keep your treatment moving forward.

How many patients are being treated with Invisalign?

Worldwide, almost 250,000 patients have been treated with Invisalign. The number grows daily.  We take pride in the fact that Dr. Kanani is the #1 Invisalign provider in the Surrey, Delta, and Langley area of B.C.  Having received the title "Premier Provider" places Dr. Kanani in the top 5% of orthodontists across North America skilled at using Invisalign.

Do doctors need special training in order to use Invisalign?

Absolutely.  While Invisalign can be used with virtually any treatment philosophy, specific training is needed.  Orthodontists are trained in tooth movement, bone biology, and jaw growth for 2-3 years beyond dental school to properly forcast treatment using Invisalign alone, or in combination with ultra-precision miniature braces, depending on the complexity of your particular case.

How does Invisalign effectively move teeth?

Like brackets and arch wires are to braces, Invisalign aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Invisalign not only controls forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.

How can I schedule an appointment to get started?

Please call our office at 604-589-2212 for a full examination and consultation so our orthodontists can thorough review your case and suggest the most optimum treatment plan for the best possible esthetic and functional results.  We look forward to being a part of your orthodontic care.  Thank you for choosing the Guildford Orthodontic Centre.
