Say goodby to metal braces with Invisalign
Perfecting Your Smile In Secret
Invisible Braces


Our smiles are so deeply personal to each of us.
They are often the first thing people notice when they meet us.
Even though we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, not feeling confident in our smile can really hold us back in living the life we want.
If you are lucky to be born with straight teeth you may never understand the discomfort and embarrassment of less-than-perfect smiles.
Having a smile you’re not confident in can hold you back in life, sad to say. Thankfully orthodontics helps people everyday from all walks of life feel better about themselves.
But, traditional metal braces can be like a flashing red sign that we are correcting unstraightened teeth. It’s like the very moment we are straightening our smiles we get the eyes-and possible judgements-of the world. No one wants that!
On top of the look there’s legit discomfort and the inconvenience that metal braces bring to eating and teeth cleaning. They can be painful and irritate our gums and cheeks. Broken wires can even mean trips to the Emergency Room!
Then there’s the cleaning. It’s almost impossible to clean in and around all those brackets. Flossing takes a lot of time, requiring careful and painstaking work. And after all that care and attention sometimes your mouth still doesn’t feel totally clean. Kind of gross right?
But, having the confidence to flash your beautiful new smile no longer comes with the pain and inconvenience of metal braces. Imagine correcting your smile where only you and your orthodontist have to know?
Thankfully, there has been an amazing breakthrough in the giving-you-a-brighter-smile business. Invisalign clear aligners will give a great smile with fewer dental appointments, elaborate clearing procedures or a sign that says “Look I’m wearing braces”.

What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?
They are nearly invisible, removable, teeth straightening, mouth miracles! Invisalign straightens your teeth without:
- Hassles of ER visits for broken wires
- The gross feeling of food getting stuck in your braces
- Everyone knowing that you’re straightening your teeth

Did you just say I can remove them everyday?
Yes, yes we did. You’ll want to keep your Invisalign clear aligners in most of the time. However if you want to eat foods that metal braces can’t handle, go right ahead. In addition you can take off your aligner to clean it and your teeth each day.
Wait, how will there be fewer appointments?
The way Invisalign works is you get a series of clear aligners that are personalized mouth pieces built specifically for your mouth. Once you have begun the treatment process you will only have to come to our office once every 6-8 weeks for a checkup and to receive your next clear aligners. Fewer appointments so you can spend more time enjoying your life!
Invisalign Clear Aligners vs Metal Braces
Invisalign treatments take away two key pains in the mouth that their metal counterparts create. No shade on metal brackets, they were a huge revolution in orthodontics but they did come with drawbacks. First, the look of metal braces can be far from flattering, although there have been huge advances to make them more discreet. Second, eating and cleaning your teeth with braces is an annoyance only those who’ve been through the experience will understand.
With clear aligners like Invisalign you now have the ability to straighten your teeth and eat your cake too! Or corn-on-the-cob, nuts or other foods traditionally off limits for those with braces.
Ok I’ll bite, which is cheaper between braces and Invisalign clear aligners?
Only your orthodontist can determine exactly what the cost would be. But in general you can expect slightly more for clear aligners than metal braces. The main reason for this is the cost of materials. One way we make it easier on your wallet is by having treatment plans available.
Are Invisalign treatment plans covered by insurance in Manitoba?
Yes, most comprehensive dental plans will cover Invisalign. As with many orthodontic treatments your provider may require a co-pay. Call us or reach out on social media with any questions on treatment plans!
How much should I budget for Invisalign Clear Aligners?
The best way to know is to book a Smile Consultation. We have financing options available as well as accept all major dental insurance plans.
