Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Riverbend Residents

You are an adult thinking about straightening your teeth, and you want to know what it would be like day to day. Start with how each appliance fits into your routine.

The everyday reality

Aligners only work when they are in.

If you are in Riverbend and weighing up orthodontics as an adult, the first thing to know is that Invisalign depends heavily on you. A planned series of trays applies controlled pressure, moving teeth gradually, and they come out for meals and hygiene. Time spent out of your mouth is time without movement.

Braces stay on throughout active treatment, so there is nothing to remember, though brackets and wires are visible and change how you clean. The appliance worth choosing is one that can safely deliver the movement you need. Afterward, whitening, bonding, veneers, reshaping or gum contouring may be considered for any finishing touches.

Your day, with trays

Keep them seated day and night as prescribed, and remove them for food and for any drink other than plain water.

Your day, with brackets

There is no appliance to take out or misplace, but your cleaning routine has to adapt around wires for the duration.

Which teeth need to move

Rotation, root position and bite corrections are not equally predictable, and they can tip the choice one way or the other.

Sizing up your case

From diagnosis to a decision.

An assessment looks at more than crooked teeth, because root support, jaw relationships and bite function all influence what an appliance can accomplish.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Describe your routine

    When you get in touch, share what you would like straightened and be candid about how much daily discipline seems doable.

  2. 02

    Go through diagnostic records

    Your teeth, gums, bite and jaws are examined, and photographs and appropriate X-rays are reviewed to understand the case.

  3. 03

    Discuss the movement required

    You can then ask whether aligners, braces or a combination suits the plan, which auxiliaries may be involved, and what retention follows.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Riverbend.

Ask our team
Will people notice I am wearing aligners?

They are discreet but not invisible. Edges of the trays, saliva and tooth-coloured attachments can catch the eye when someone is speaking with you up close.

Can I sip coffee with my trays in?

Take them out for anything but plain water. Food and drinks can damage trays or hold sugars and acids against your teeth, and clean teeth should go back in with clean aligners.

What happens if I fall behind on wear?

Teeth may lag behind the digital sequence, which can extend or alter treatment. Be upfront at your check, since the plan can sometimes be adjusted if tracking slips.

What are attachments, and why might I need them?

They are small bonded shapes that give a tray leverage over rotation, angulation and root movement. Their number, form and position come directly from your treatment goals.

When are braces the stronger choice?

Braces provide direct control across a broad range of movements and need no remembering, so they may suit a plan where aligners are less predictable or daily wear would be a struggle.

Can Riverbend residents start with Invisalign questions only?

Certainly. Phone (204) 338-3003 or send a request through this page and say you are looking at aligners. Your assessment would be at our Winnipeg clinic, at a time the office confirms.
