Orthodontics Near You

Would you love to straighten and achieve your dream smile? Many adults are pursuing smile alignment thanks to Invisalign and other options for orthodontics in Vancouver.

We offer Invisalign and ClearCorrect clear aligners, which involve patients using a series of clear, custom aligners that gradually shift the position of their teeth into a straighter smile throughout 12 to 18 months, depending on the patient’s individual case.

With clear aligner treatment, you have the ability to remove your clear aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth. We also offer Six Month Smiles orthodontic treatment for patients who require traditional orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign/Clear Aligners in Vancouver

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Do you need orthodontics near you but are hesitant to follow the traditional braces route? You may be a candidate for Invisalign clear aligner treatment. Invisalign technology uses a series of clear, plastic aligner trays instead of the conventional wiring system. Each set of aligners represents a stage in patients’ alignment journey, gradually moving their teeth into a position closer to their desired end result. Time in the dental chair is minimal during the treatment period, and patients are able to take home all of the trays at each stage of their treatment.

One convenient aspect to Invisalign treatment is the ability to remove the aligners so you can eat and drink as you normally would, as well as perform your oral hygiene routine. The alignment trays don’t stand out and are not noticeable, allowing you to stay on track and get that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted without worrying too much about how they appear while wearing them.

    ClearCorrect Aligners

    ClearCorrect is a clear aligner system utilized to straighten teeth and serves as a viable alternative to conventional braces. Much like other clear aligner options, such as Invisalign, ClearCorrect employs a series of custom-designed, transparent aligners that can be easily removed. These aligners work gradually to shift teeth incrementally, ultimately resulting in the correction of teeth alignment and the transformation of one’s smile, creating a refreshed and improved appearance.

    ClearCorrect treatment consists of four stages of aligner therapy, with each stage necessitating the use of a fresh set of aligners to be worn continuously for a duration of three weeks. The intervals between these phases offer a degree of control and adaptability. The ClearCorrect aligners are to be worn consistently, except during meals and beverage consumption or when engaging in oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing. Crafted with aesthetics as a priority, these aligners are hardly discernible and will not disrupt your daily routine.

    Do dental implants require special care?

    After you get dental implants, you’ll want to make sure that you take care of them so you can get the most out of your investment. When you have them placed, be sure to ask your implant dentist for recommendations about the best way to preserve your new restorations so they last a long time. Because implants are so similar to your natural teeth, you typically just have to brush twice a day, and floss at least once each day like you would with your natural teeth. You can also use an antibacterial mouthwash to help control the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth.

    How long is the implant process?

    Many patients are excited and can’t wait to start utilizing their new restorations, which is why they are eager to get the procedure started. One thing to remember is that because dental implants replace both the biting surface and roots of your missing teeth, they have to undergo important processes like osseointegration, when your implants fuse with your jawbone. These often take time, and when they’re not properly completed, can jeopardize the success of your new implants.

    So, in order to give your mouth the healing time it needs and for your implants to be successful, it could take months before you’re able to enjoy them fully. The time frame depends on various factors such as how many implants you’re having placed, and whether or not you need preparatory procedures such as bone grafting.

    Will my dental insurance cover the procedure?

    Typically, dental insurance plans don’t cover implants because they consider them a cosmetic procedure, although they may cover traditional restorations. However, as implants are becoming more common, insurance companies are starting to change their policies on this. Our team would be glad to help you find out if your insurance will cover a portion of the procedure. Plus, sometimes medical insurance plans may help contribute to preparatory procedures, so it’s worth looking into all of your funding options.

    Will it hurt to get my implants placed?

    At Dental Cosmetic Center, we focus on utilizing the latest technology in our field to help minimize our patients’ post-operative discomfort. Typically, after the surgery, patients don’t report experiencing major pain. In fact, most discomfort can be easily taken care of with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and it only lasts a few days. If you need more extensive procedures like bone grafts, it may require more healing time and you could need to take specially prescribed pain medication. The best way to promote fast healing and minimize discomfort is to follow your implant dentist’s aftercare instructions.
