Plenty of people learn to smile with their lips closed, and few say why. If you’ve been doing it in Selkirk for years, this page is about taking a first look without any pressure.
Let's find a time
Tilting your head away, standing at the back of the group photo, laughing behind your hand: those habits can build up so slowly you barely notice them. Wanting that to change is a good enough reason to ask a question, and it doesn’t need any further justification.
An honest answer has limits, however. Aligners may help with some position concerns, but a digital preview isn’t a promise, and treatment can’t predict how you’ll feel. Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, so asking in person means coming in to the clinic on McPhillips Street.

Point out what you see in the mirror, even if you’ve never spoken it aloud to anyone before.
If colour or shape is your concern, a different kind of treatment may be more relevant to you.
Trays aren’t truly invisible, which is useful to know if you’re sensitive about being looked at.
People who dislike their smile often can’t say exactly why. Breaking it down helps, because different concerns respond to different kinds of dental care.
If the issue is where teeth sit, an aligner plan might be worth discussing. Your dentist has to determine whether those movements are realistic with trays.
Moving a tooth won’t change its colour, chips or overall proportions. These may call for restorative or cosmetic options, either on their own or following alignment.
The look of a smile depends on more than one factor. Ask the dentist which of your concerns aligners could affect, and which they couldn’t.
These stages are the same for every aligner patient. For someone who feels shy about their teeth, it can help to know what each stage involves.
Request your visitYour teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are examined, while photographs and suitable X-rays are reviewed. Photos are clinical records, not portraits.
Scans and software show proposed movements and a possible outcome. Enjoy seeing it, but keep in mind that real teeth may need the plan refined.
Trays are checked for fit and you’re shown how to use them. If attachments are needed, ask to see where they’ll be, as they can affect appearance.
Real progress gets compared with the plan. You’re welcome to say how you’re feeling about the changes you’ve been seeing.
You don’t need to explain your feelings at the front desk. A few practical preparations can make the assessment easier, and you can ask ahead how long it should take.
A photo you dislike may be a useful way to show what you mean, especially if you find it difficult to describe your concern in words.

Opening your mouth for an exam can be uncomfortable if you’ve spent years hiding your teeth. Dental teams look at teeth all day long, and you’re welcome to mention how you feel.
If a visit feels like a big step, begin with a few questions over the telephone instead.
Or ask not to dwell on them, if you’d rather. Tell the team whichever you prefer.
Find out how visible your plan would be, so that you aren’t surprised by what others can notice.
After the mirror changes
When active movement is finished, the routine shifts but doesn’t disappear. You’ll want a plan for keeping your teeth where they ended up.
After alignment, ask whether reshaping, bonding or whitening might be relevant for any concerns that remain.
If something isn’t where it was planned to be, new records can help in ordering refinement aligners.
Worn as prescribed, retainers help hold teeth in place, because shifting is possible at any age.
Bring up any lingering disappointment too. It’s worth discussing what’s realistic, and whether anything further would make sense.

Helpful details about invisalign in Selkirk.
Ask our teamNo one can promise that. An assessment can tell you which movements seem achievable, and the plan’s preview remains a proposal rather than a certainty.
If they’re on your mind, that’s reason enough to ask. There’s no threshold to meet before you’re allowed to bring up something that bothers you.
They could. Edges and any attachments can be noticed in conversation, so ask to understand how your plan would look before making a decision.
An examination can help you sort that out. Show the dentist what you’ve been noticing, and ask which treatments relate to each concern.
It’s a good thing to ask about, particularly if colour’s part of your concern. The dentist can explain how these treatments might be sequenced for you.
