Westdale Dental Care in Hamilton is proud to offer the Invisalign experience. Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth. Here's some important information about Invisalign:
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for those who want a more aesthetically pleasing orthodontic treatment.
Comfortable
The aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and don't have the wires and brackets associated with traditional braces, reducing the risk of irritation.
Removable
Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, drinking, or for special occasions, providing greater flexibility and ease in maintaining oral hygiene.
Effective
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild to moderate cases.
The Invisalign Process

A consultation with our Invisalign-trained dentist will determine if Invisalign is right for you. He will create a personalized treatment plan.
