How do I know if I’m a candidate for Invisalign?+
A complete assessment answers that. It checks whether aligners can achieve your tooth and bite movements, and whether your day-to-day routine can sustain the wear they require.
Where in north Winnipeg can I be assessed for Invisalign?+
Your assessment would happen at Winnipeg North Dental, Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Call (204) 338-3003 or fill out the appointment form, and we’ll respond to arrange a time.
Which records are taken for clear aligners?+
Expect some combination of photographs, digital scans, appropriate X-rays and a bite assessment. Exactly which ones depends on what the dentist needs in order to plan your movements.
Does the digital preview show exactly how my teeth will end up?+
No. It illustrates a proposed result, and it helps with sequencing. Actual tooth movement is biological, which is why the plan is checked and sometimes refined along the way.
Could I be told aligners aren’t right for me?+
Yes, and that is useful to know. Certain movements are handled more predictably with braces or with a combined approach, and we would explain why.
Do bite problems rule out Invisalign?+
Not automatically. Suitable overbite, open bite, crossbite and front-to-back discrepancies may be addressed, though your jaw relationships and the complexity of the movement matter.
