Do You Want Straighter Teeth? Choose JW Family Dentistry
Initial Consultation
Using our iTero scanner, we create a detailed 3D model of your teeth—no goopy impressions, no gagging. Through advanced visualisation technology, you'll see exactly what your future smile will look like before treatment even begins. This digital preview helps you make confident, informed decisions about your care.
Custom Treatment Planning
We design your personalized treatment plan, mapping out each step of your smile transformation with precision. Understanding how teeth relate to one another is essential—we move your teeth into a position that enhances both function and appearance. Our goal is to create results that last.
Custom Aligners
Receive your custom-made clear aligners, designed for comfort and virtually invisible appearance during daily wear. Each set of aligners gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal position.
Progressive Results
Watch your smile transform as you progress through your series of aligners. We schedule regular check-ins every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress, ensure optimal results, and provide new sets of aligners.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients with features that accommodate growing smiles:
- Compliance indicators that fade with wear to help teens track their progress
- Eruption tabs that accommodate teeth that haven't fully grown in yet
- Replacement aligners are included in case any are lost
- Discreet appearance that doesn't affect confidence during important teenage years
Teens appreciate the freedom to remove aligners for sports, performances, and special events—without the dietary restrictions or appearance concerns of traditional braces.
What Invisalign Treats
Crowded Teeth
Align overcrowded teeth for a more balanced, harmonious smile and improved oral hygiene. Crowded teeth are harder to clean and can lead to decay and gum disease.
Gaps Between Teeth
Close unwanted spaces to create a more cohesive, confident smile. Gaps can trap food and affect your bite.
Bite Issues
Correct overbite, underbite, and crossbite problems for better dental function and appearance. Proper bite alignment reduces wear on your teeth and improves jaw function.
Misaligned Teeth
Straighten crooked teeth for enhanced smile aesthetics and dental health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign treats a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The best way to find out if Invisalign is right for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation. We'll assess your smile, discuss your goals, and show you a digital preview of your potential results.
How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?
Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and more comfortable than metal braces. There are no dietary restrictions, easier oral hygiene, fewer office visits, and no metal brackets or wires. You can see a digital preview of your results before treatment begins.
What happens after Invisalign treatment?
After completing your Invisalign treatment, you'll receive a retainer to maintain your new smile and protect your investment. We'll create a personalized retention plan based on your specific needs. Wearing your retainer as directed ensures your teeth stay in their new, ideal position for life.
Is Invisalign painful?
Patients typically experience mild pressure for a few days when starting each new aligner set. This temporary sensation indicates the treatment is working and your teeth are moving. Most describe it as pressure rather than pain. Any discomfort usually subsides within a day or two.
Can teenagers get Invisalign?
Yes! Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients and includes special features like compliance indicators that fade with wear, eruption tabs for teeth still growing in, and replacement aligners in case any are lost. Teens appreciate the discreet appearance and freedom to remove aligners for sports and special events.
How often will I need check-up appointments?
Most patients visit us every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners. These appointments are typically quick and convenient, fitting easily into busy schedules. We track your progress digitally and make adjustments as needed.
Can I eat with Invisalign aligners?
Remove your aligners for eating and drinking anything except water. This helps maintain their clarity, prevents staining, and protects them from damage. One of the benefits of Invisalign is no dietary restrictions—you can continue enjoying all your favourite foods.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans in Ontario cover Invisalign similarly to traditional braces. We accept major providers, including Greenshield, Manulife, Sun Life, and CDCP. Our team will verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and help you maximise your plan. We also offer flexible financing options to make treatment affordable.
How do I clean my aligners?
Clean your aligners daily using lukewarm water and gentle soap or specialized Invisalign cleaning solutions. Brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent staining.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Most patients experience a minimal adjustment period of a few days as they get used to wearing their aligners. Any slight lisp typically disappears quickly as you adapt. The aligners are thin and designed to fit comfortably in your mouth.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
For optimal results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures your treatment stays on schedule and delivers the results you expect.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration varies by case but typically ranges from 12-18 months for adults and 18-24 months for teens. More complex cases may take longer. During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide a customised timeline based on your specific needs and show you a digital preview of your expected results.
