Could clear aligners fit your goals?

Clear aligners may be suitable for selected tooth-movement goals. Records, bite, gum health, expected wear and the limits of aligner treatment are reviewed before a plan is proposed.

Invisalign uses a sequence of removable clear aligners to guide selected tooth movements. At Regal Heights Dental Centre on St. Clair Ave W in St. Clair West, it can be an option for appropriate patients—but treatment still requires diagnosis, digital planning, consistent wear and regular monitoring. Patients from Wychwood, Regal Heights and nearby midtown Toronto can call 416-665-1145 or request a consultation to discuss whether clear aligners are a reasonable fit for their goals.

From consultation to retainers

This is a genuine treatment sequence, not an instant or automatic process. Timing and suitability can only be estimated after a clinical assessment and records.

Consultation
Discuss alignment and bite goals; assess teeth, gums and existing restorations to determine whether clear aligners are a reasonable option.
Records
Photographs, digital intraoral scans and imaging may be recommended to plan the specific proposed movements.
Treatment planning
Proposed movements, expected limitations and any attachments or enamel-reduction requirements are reviewed before a decision is made.
Aligners
Trays are changed on the prescribed schedule during active treatment; consistent daily wear is important for the plan to track as designed.
Monitoring
Progress appointments allow the clinician to compare actual movement with the planned positions and check gum health; refinements may be added when movement differs from the plan.
Retainers
Retention after active treatment helps maintain tooth positions; retainer wear is an ongoing commitment after aligners end.

Candidacy assessed

Digital plan explained

Retention included in planning

Invisalign versus braces

Both approaches can straighten teeth. The better fit depends on the movements required, gum health, restorations, growth status and how consistently trays can be worn.

Clear aligners

Aligners are removable and less visible during treatment, but they require consistent daily wear to achieve the planned movements. Attachments, enamel reduction or refinements may still be part of the plan.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces exert continuous force and may offer advantages for some complex movements or for patients who would find aligner wear compliance difficult to maintain.

How we decide

A clinician can explain which approach is appropriate based on the planned movements, gum health, existing restorations, growth status and daily habits. Fees and insurance coverage vary by plan and treatment complexity; we do not publish fixed fee promises because each treatment plan is individualized.

Daily life with clear aligners

Aligner wear affects meals, cleaning, comfort and social situations. Understanding what is involved before treatment begins helps patients manage the adjustment period and stay on track.

What Invisalign may address

Clear aligners may be considered for selected spacing, crowding and bite concerns. Suitability depends on more than how the front teeth look—the full bite, gum health and the nature of the required movements all matter.

Selected spacing

Gaps between teeth may be suitable for aligner-based closure when gum health, tooth size and the planned movement fit within an aligner approach.

Mild to moderate crowding

Mild to moderate crowding can sometimes be addressed with aligners; more complex crowding may need a different orthodontic approach or additional planning steps such as enamel reduction.

Some bite concerns

Certain bite discrepancies may be suitable for aligner-based correction; the appropriate assessment considers the type and degree of the malocclusion before aligners are proposed.

Relapse after previous orthodontics

Patients who have experienced minor tooth shift after fixed braces may be candidates for limited aligner therapy when the goal is modest, gum health is stable and a current assessment confirms suitability.

Cases that may need another approach

Complex movements, active disease, certain restorations, growth considerations or anticipated difficulty with wear compliance may mean fixed braces, referral or delayed orthodontic care is more appropriate.

Monitoring and retainers

Progress appointments allow the clinician to compare actual tooth movement with the planned positions and check the health of the teeth and gums. Refinements—additional aligner stages—may be needed when certain teeth do not move exactly as predicted by the digital plan.

Treatment does not end when the final active aligner is finished. Teeth can shift throughout life, and retainer wear is an ongoing commitment. The type of retainer, wear schedule and monitoring interval should be discussed and agreed before active treatment ends, not as an afterthought.

Invisalign fees and coverage

A short, limited aligner plan involves different clinical effort and materials than a full treatment including complex movements, multiple refinement stages and extended monitoring. Fees reflect that difference.

Records, the number of aligners, any replacement trays needed during treatment and retainers can each affect the total fee
Some dental benefit plans include an orthodontic allowance; others exclude adult orthodontics entirely or apply a lifetime maximum
CDCP coverage and eligibility rules for orthodontic services should be confirmed for the individual patient and proposed treatment before planning begins
