Patients from across Winnipeg come to our McPhillips Street clinic with the same question: would removable aligners do the job for my teeth? An assessment is how you find out.
Let's find a time
Most people researching Invisalign have already pictured themselves in it. What they really need to know is whether a removable tray can make the particular movements their teeth require. Sometimes it can. Sometimes fixed braces, or a mix of the two, would be more predictable.
Wherever you live in Winnipeg, the conversation is the same at Winnipeg North Dental: we look at your teeth, your bite and your daily habits together, then talk plainly about what each appliance would ask of you.

An appliance earns its place by being able to deliver the tooth movement you need, not by how it looks in the mirror.
Trays only work while they are in your mouth, so an honest look at your routine belongs in the decision.
You can hear how both options apply to your teeth and take the information home to think it over.
Neither option wins outright. Here is how the day-to-day experience differs, and why the answer depends on the movements your assessment identifies.
A planned series of custom trays applies controlled pressure, shifting teeth gradually from one stage to the next.
Brackets and wires stay bonded to the teeth for all of active treatment, so there is nothing to take out or remember.
Choosing the appliance is a shared decision, made after the dentist has seen how your teeth, roots, jaws and bite relate to one another.
If an assessment points toward Invisalign, treatment moves through four broad stages. Your own appointments will depend on what your plan requires.
Request your visitYour teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are examined, with photographs and any appropriate X-rays reviewed alongside them.
A plan maps where each tooth should go, how room will be made for it, and which movements need extra control.
We check the fit, bond any planned attachments, and show you how to put the aligners in, take them out and look after them.
Real movement is compared with the planned sequence, and we step in if a tray has stopped sitting the way it should.
You don’t need to have made up your mind before booking. Knowing what bothers you about your teeth, and what you could realistically keep up with, is plenty to begin with.
Cost depends on the plan your teeth need, so ask for an estimate once your assessment makes that clearer, and ask how your insurance applies.
Where your fittings and progress visits may take place.
Any appliance takes some getting used to. Knowing what is ordinary, and telling us about what isn’t, makes those early days easier.
Ask us to go through inserting and removing them with you until the motion feels natural.
If part of a tray irritates your mouth, call the clinic and describe what you are noticing.
Nothing is too small to raise, from how attachments feel to how a new stage should sit.
After active treatment
Two things tend to surprise people comparing appliances: extra aligners are sometimes part of the plan, and retention follows either option.
When some movements remain incomplete, updated records can be used to order refinement aligners. That is a normal planning step and doesn’t by itself mean anything went wrong.
Aligners and braces share this requirement. Worn as prescribed, retainers hold teeth while the surrounding tissues adapt.
Teeth can keep shifting for as long as you have them, which is why retention deserves a place in your long-term routine.
Still torn between the two appliances once you’ve been in? Call us and ask.

Helpful details about invisalign in Winnipeg.
Ask our teamIt depends on what your teeth need to do. Aligners manage many concerns, while certain movements are more predictable with braces or a combined approach. An examination is what separates one case from another.
Yes. Use the form on this page or call (204) 338-3003 to request one at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. A reply from the clinic then sorts out the timing.
Possibly, at conversational distance. Tray edges, saliva and tooth-coloured attachments can catch the eye, even though aligners are far more discreet than brackets and wires.
Mostly wear time. Trays move teeth only while seated, so long stretches out of the mouth can let teeth fall behind the digital plan, and that may lengthen or change treatment.
The trays come out for meals and snacks, so the bigger change is the routine around eating. Everything except plain water means taking them out, then cleaning your teeth before they go back in.
They are, exactly as they would be after braces. Skipping the prescribed retainer schedule leaves teeth free to drift.
Some concerns are about shape or surface rather than position. These pages explain options the dentist may raise once your teeth have been assessed.
