Invisalign - An Esthetic Alternative For Calgary Orthodontic Patients

You may have heard of Invisalign, virtually undetectable custom aligners, that are used to straighten teeth.  These aligners are easy to use and comfortable to wear - making them a viable treatment option for patients who don't require orthodontic brackets.

Cory Liss Orthodontics specializes in Invisalign treatment, as we know that it's never too late to improve your smile.  Whether it's a whole new smile you are after, or simply a tooth that has stepped out of line, Invisalign may be the esthetic alternative for you. 

Feel free to contact our office to inquire more about the many benefits Invisalign offers.

Cory Liss Orthodontics also offers the Damon Bracketing System and is a leader in the SureSmile orthodontic system.

The Timing Of Orthodontic Treatment In Calgary

Calgary Orthodontic Specialist
The proper timing of orthodontic treatment is essential to producing the most favorable result.  Each patient is different and therefore requires an individualized approach to treatment.  Some conditions require the attention of the orthodontist as soon as they are detected (e.g. harmful habits). 

While others require treatment to coincide with periods of rapid growth or a time where cooperation can be maximized.  Crowding, potential trauma and the eruption status of teeth are other factors that must be taken into consideration.

The timing and approach to orthodontic treatment can be as unique as the individual patient.  Many factors are taken into consideration when a diagnosis is made and the treatment planned.

An orthodontic evaluation is the best way to determine if and when orthodontic treatment is required.

The Straight Talk On Orthodontics In Calgary

Calgary Braces Specialist
Calgary Orthodontists use many different types of appliances to move teeth.  Simple, limited tooth movements can be accomplished with a plastic retainer that simply pushes or pulls teeth in the desired direction. 



Movements are limited because these types of appliances do not have control of teeth in all three planes of space.

More significant tooth movements require braces (orthodontic brackets).  Braces come in many shapes, sizes, colors, styles and essentially act like small handles attached to teeth.  With the addition of the orthodontic wire, these handles slowly move teeth into place.  Currently, many orthodontists are moving towards braces with less friction.  These Self-Ligating braces replace the colored rings on every tooth with small doors.  Less friction means longer appointment intervals, lighter wires and less patient discomfort.

Invisalign is another exciting option, where clear custom fabricated molds are used to slowly move teeth into place.
