Treatment that needs planning ahead

Invisalign for Manitoba Patients

Aligner treatment involves more than one appointment. If you live elsewhere in Manitoba, here’s what to think through before making the trip to our clinic in Winnipeg.

If treatment means making the trip

Planning Clear Aligners From Elsewhere in the Province

Invisalign is a course of treatment and not a single visit. Records come first, then a fitting, then progress checks, and retainers once active movement is complete. Each of those happens in person at our Winnipeg clinic, so the visits are worth factoring into your decision.

For patients elsewhere in Manitoba, an early phone call can clear up a lot. Tell us where you are coming from and what you are hoping to change, and ask how appointments might be arranged around the trip.

Count the visits

Ask how many in-person appointments your plan is likely to involve once the dentist has seen your teeth.

Gather your records

Recent X-rays or notes from your regular dentist can give useful background, so ask about having them sent.

Know who to call

Between trips, a phone call to (204) 338-3003 is your first step if a tray stops fitting or goes missing.

Shared responsibilities

What happens here, and what happens at home.

When you live some way from the clinic, it helps to see clearly which parts of treatment need us and which parts rest with you.

At the Winnipeg clinic

Anything requiring examination, scanning or bonding has to be done in the chair on McPhillips Street.

  • A full look at teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships.
  • Scans and photographs, plus X-rays where appropriate.
  • Fit checks and the bonding of any planned attachments.
  • Comparing real progress with the planned sequence.

Back at home

Most of the actual work happens during ordinary days, wherever those days happen to be spent.

  • Wearing trays through the day and overnight as you’ve been told.
  • Taking them out for anything you eat or drink, plain water aside.
  • Brushing and flossing before each tray goes back in.
  • Keeping aligners in their case, and away from napkins and pockets.

How often you would need to return depends on your treatment. Raise distance early so that it can be part of the planning discussion.

Your trips, in order

What each stage involves.

Your plan determines the actual number of appointments. These are the milestones to prepare for when you are mapping out treatment from a distance.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    The assessment trip

    Your first visit centres on diagnosis: an examination, a review of your history and the collection of records for planning.

  2. 02

    Planning conversation

    The dentist explains the proposed movements, any need for attachments or elastics, and how room would be made for your teeth.

  3. 03

    The fitting

    Your aligners are tried in and attachments are added if they’re part of the plan. Before you head home, you’ll practise inserting and removing the trays.

  4. 04

    Return visits

    Progress appointments show whether your teeth are keeping pace with the sequence. Refinement and retainers may add to these later on.

Before you set out

Make the first trip count.

A little advance organizing can help you get more from your assessment when returning at short notice isn’t simple.

When you request a visit, mention that you are travelling. Ask about the time needed and an estimate of costs, including what your plan may cover.

Pack or arrange ahead

  • Contact details for your regular dentist, in case records are needed.
  • Your medication list and any changes to your health history.
  • Benefit-plan or CDCP paperwork, whichever applies to you.
  • A note of how far ahead you need to know about appointments.

Less to worry about

Feeling prepared between appointments.

Being away from the clinic is easier when you know what to do with an everyday problem. Ask whatever you need to before heading home.

Confidence with your trays

Practise at the clinic until taking your aligners in and out no longer feels awkward.

Keep the number handy

Save the clinic’s phone number so that a question doesn’t have to wait for your next trip.

A sensible backup plan

Ask what you should do with your previous tray in case the current one is damaged while you’re away.

Staying on track from afar

Your follow-up continues once you’re home.

Distance makes it more important to report a problem early. A tray that no longer fits should be discussed with us before you change anything yourself.

01

When a tray stops fitting

Phone the clinic instead of jumping ahead to the next aligner. Lost wear time, damage or teeth that aren’t tracking may each need their own correction.

02

When refinement is needed

Taking new records means another visit to Winnipeg, so include that possibility when you think about the overall commitment. Refinement aligners are an ordinary planning tool.

03

When active treatment ends

Your retainers then take over the job of keeping teeth in position. Wear them as prescribed, and ask how future retainer checks could be managed from home.

If something feels urgent, phone the clinic rather than sending the online form.

Helpful details about invisalign in Manitoba.

Ask our team
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.
