Free Consultation
Meet with our experienced treatment coordinator in person or virtually. We discuss your goals, take photos, review concerns, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. -
Digital 3D Scan & Personalized Plan
We take a precise 3D scan of your teeth — no impressions needed. Using advanced software, we design a step-by-step plan showing how your teeth will move. You’ll even see a digital preview of your future smile. -
Custom-Made Aligners
Your aligners are created using advanced 3D printing technology to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit. -
Wear Your Aligners
Wear each set for 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1–2 weeks, you switch to a new set as your teeth gradually shift. -

How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Most Invisalign treatments at our Pickering clinic take 6 to 18 months. Short, minor corrections may take as little as 6 months, while more complex cases can take up to 24 months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
How much does Invisalign cost in Pickering?
Invisalign pricing varies based on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. At your free consultation, we’ll provide a personalized quote, review financing options, and help you understand any insurance coverage you may have.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients feel mild pressure for a day or two when switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and means the aligners are working. There are no wires or brackets, so day-to-day discomfort is minimal compared to braces.
How often do I need appointments?
Thanks to virtual check-ins, many patients need fewer in-office appointments than with traditional braces. Most visits occur every 6–10 weeks, depending on your progress and case complexity.
Can I eat with Invisalign?
Yes — just remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Brush or rinse your teeth before putting your aligners back in to keep them clean and clear.
Can Invisalign fix bite issues?
Yes. Using advanced planning software, Invisalign can treat many overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether Invisalign is the best option for your specific bite.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. You can begin your Invisalign journey from home with a convenient virtual appointment.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most treatments last between 6 and 18 months. Minor adjustments may take as little as 6 months, while more complex corrections can take up to 24. Wearing your aligners 22 hours a day is essential for staying on track.
How often do I change my aligners?
Most patients switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
Yes — Invisalign must be worn 22 hours a day to be effective. You should only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush/floss.
Will people notice I’m wearing Invisalign?
Aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic and are virtually invisible. Most people won’t notice unless they’re looking closely.
Can I whiten my teeth with Invisalign?
Yes. Many patients use whitening gel between aligners or begin whitening after their final results. We recommend safe whitening options during your visit.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact us right away. Depending on your progress, we suggest moving to your next set, going back to your previous set, or ordering a replacement.
Are there food restrictions with Invisalign?
No. Unlike braces, you can eat anything you like — simply remove your aligners first.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse them with lukewarm water and clean them with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste). You can also use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or approved cleaning solutions.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice mild lisping for the first few days. This usually resolves quickly as you get used to wearing the aligners.
Can I play sports or musical instruments with Invisalign?
Yes. Aligners are safe for sports and do not interfere with wind instruments. For contact sports, you may need a mouthguard — we’ll guide you during your consultation.
Is Invisalign suitable for teens and kids?
Absolutely. We offer Invisalign First for children and Invisalign Teen for growing adolescents. These systems are designed specifically for younger patients.
Will I need retainers after Invisalign?
Yes. Retainers maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back. They’re clear, comfortable, and worn primarily at night.
Is financing available?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans to make Invisalign affordable for every budget. Our team can help maximize any insurance benefits you have.
