I live outside Winnipeg. Is Invisalign still realistic for me?+
It can be, provided the in-person visits are workable. Your assessment gives a clearer picture of what your plan involves, so raise the distance with the dentist before deciding.
How do I request a visit from elsewhere in Manitoba?+
Phone (204) 338-3003 or use this page’s form, mentioning that you’d be travelling. Care takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and the clinic responds to arrange timing.
Can my own dentist’s X-rays be used?+
Ask us when you book. If you have recent images from another clinic, we can talk about whether having them transferred would be helpful for your assessment.
What should I do if I lose an aligner far from the clinic?+
Call us and explain what happened. Missed wear can let teeth lag behind the plan, and the right correction depends on where you are in the series.
Are the trays difficult to manage while travelling?+
They need a little forethought. Take your case and a toothbrush, since aligners come out for meals and drinks other than water, and teeth should be cleaned before they go back in.
How would I get replacement retainers later on?+
Ask about this near the end of treatment so you know the process. Because teeth can move throughout life, keeping up with retainers matters no matter where you live.
