The Problem: Wanting Straight Teeth Without the Metal

You’ve always wanted straighter teeth, but the thought of wearing traditional metal braces has held you back. Perhaps you’re an adult professional who feels that braces would be inappropriate for your image. Maybe you’re a teenager who is anxious about how braces will affect your social life and confidence. You might be concerned about the discomfort, the dietary restrictions, and the difficulty of keeping metal brackets and wires clean.

Crooked or gapped teeth can make you feel self-conscious, and you know that a straighter smile would boost your confidence. But you need a solution that fits seamlessly into your life—one that is discreet, comfortable, and doesn’t require you to change your lifestyle. You want the results without the obvious appearance of orthodontic treatment.

The Solution: Custom Clear Aligners for a Discreet Transformation

At West Harbour Dental, we provide clear aligner treatment that is tailored to your unique smile. The process is straightforward, comfortable, and designed to fit around your busy life.

Here's how clear aligner treatment works:
  • 1. Comprehensive Consultation and Planning

    We start with a detailed examination of your teeth and bite. We will take digital impressions using our comfortable Intraoral Scanner and may also take x-rays, such as a Lateral Cephalogram, to assess your jaw alignment. Using advanced software, we create a precise 3D treatment plan that shows you exactly how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.

  • 2. Custom Aligner Fabrication

    Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom clear aligner trays are fabricated specifically for you. Each set of aligners is designed to make small, controlled movements, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal position.

  • 3. Wearing Your Aligners

    You will wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, for at least 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This means you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restriction and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

  • 4. Regular Progress Checks

    We will schedule periodic check-ups (typically every 6-8 weeks) to monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners.
