Invisalign in Airdrie
Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly and Comfortably
Sierra Springs Dental offers Invisalign clear-aligner assessments in Airdrie for suitable teens and adults. Treatment begins with an examination and digital planning, and the recommended approach, timing and number of aligners vary by bite, alignment and individual response.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually and gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, completely removable, and designed for maximum comfort. At Sierra Springs Dental in Airdrie, our experienced Invisalign providers use modern digital technology to plan aligner treatment for suitable teens and adults alike.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Discover the advantages of choosing Invisalign clear aligners for your orthodontic treatment.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign can correct crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite for suitable teens and adults. It is often chosen by patients who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces, and it can be combined with teeth whitening or other cosmetic treatments once alignment is complete. For younger teens or more complex bite issues, traditional braces and orthodontics may be recommended instead. Your dentist will confirm suitability at your consultation.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Your journey to a straighter smile is simple and straightforward.

Reveal Your New Smile
Once your treatment is complete, you will receive custom retainers to maintain your beautifully straight smile for years to come.
Caring for Your Aligners
Wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss. Clean your aligners daily with a soft brush and lukewarm water, and store them in their case when not in use. Keep up with your regular dental checkups and cleanings throughout treatment so your dentist can monitor your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Invisalign clear aligners.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, since there are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign they are working.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. We provide a personalized quote after your consultation and offer flexible payment plans.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Many cases are completed in 12 to 18 months, though this varies by individual. Your dentist gives you a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan.
Will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes. Once your treatment is complete, you will receive custom retainers to maintain your new smile. Wearing them as directed helps prevent your teeth from shifting back.
Can Invisalign fix an overbite?
Invisalign can treat a range of bite issues including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, depending on the severity. Your dentist will assess your bite at your consultation to confirm whether Invisalign is suitable.
