Straighten Your Teeth, Improve Your Oral Health with Invisalign
One of the most common reasons people use Invisalign clear aligners is to improve their smile’s appearance. Invisalign can transform a misaligned, crooked smile into a radiant “celebrity” smile in as little as 18 months. Although a beautiful smile is a motivation enough to straighten crooked teeth, a straighter smile can also improve oral health. Invisalign treatment from Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry in Pierrefonds, Quebec, offers both aesthetic and oral health benefits.
What You Should Know About Invisalign?
Unlike metal braces that are permanently attached to your teeth, Invisalign clear aligners are removable to make it easier to eat and clean your teeth throughout your treatment. Your Pierrefonds, Quebec dentists, Dr. Ramin Mirmooji and his associates will customize your aligners for a comfortable, snug fit. When worn, these aligners put mild pressure on your teeth to gently shift them into a straighter position. Our team will give you a new set of aligners every few weeks to continue the straightening process until your treatment is complete.
There are numerous advantages to using Invisalign invisible braces for teeth, one of which is discretion, as the clear aligners are hardly noticeable on your teeth. You won’t feel self-conscious about your appearance during treatment. Comfort is another advantage, as the aligners are made of clear plastic, with no metal wires or brackets to irritate gum tissue. You don’t have to alter your diet as the aligners can be removed for eating and teeth cleaning, enabling you to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
Oral Health Benefits of Straighter Teeth
If you struggle with crooked, overcrowded, or gapped teeth, you know how difficult it is to keep them clean, as there are so many places your toothbrush can’t reach. As a result, there’s a greater risk of plaque buildup that can lead to decay and dental disease. Crooked teeth can cause bite issues (malocclusion), making chewing difficult or painful as your teeth don’t come together correctly. An improper bite can also lead to premature wear and tear on your teeth, resulting in chips, cracks, and enamel erosion. Many of these problems can be averted through Invisalign orthodontic treatment.
Straightening crooked teeth with Invisalign:
- Makes it easier to keep them clean to prevent problems with decay and dental disease
- Corrects bite issues to protect your teeth from premature wear and tear
- Improves your ability to chew
- Realigns your jaw to relieve stress on jaw muscles and joints. Relaxing jaw muscles can prevent problems with headaches and TMJ pain.

Crooked teeth can also impact your mental health by causing you to feel inferior about your appearance. Straightening your smile with Invisalign can boost your confidence and self-esteem, giving you a more positive perspective about yourself and your future.
Invisalign Clear Aligners FAQs
What makes Invisalign different from traditional metal braces?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth without the use of metal brackets or wires. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed during meals or brushing. This makes Invisalign an ideal option for patients looking for a more discreet and flexible way to improve their smile. Plus, there are no dietary restrictions, just pop the aligners out and enjoy your favorite foods!
How do Invisalign aligners straighten teeth?
Each Invisalign aligner is designed to apply gentle pressure to specific teeth, gradually guiding them into better alignment. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, with each set building on the progress. Over time, your teeth shift into place according to a personalized digital treatment plan created by Dr. Mirmooji. The process is precise, comfortable, and effective for many types of orthodontic issues.
Can Invisalign fix more than just crooked teeth?
Yes! Invisalign doesn’t just straighten teeth—it also addresses bite issues like overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, spacing, and crowding. If your teeth are misaligned or your bite feels “off,” Invisalign may be able to correct those issues as well. We use digital scans and imaging to assess your smile and recommend the best course of treatment based on your individual needs.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment time varies from patient to patient, but most Invisalign cases are completed in 12 – 18 months. Some mild corrections can be finished in as little as six months. For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 – 22 hours per day. Skipping wear time can delay progress, so consistency is key. Our team will monitor your progress with regular check-ins and adjust your plan if needed.
Do Invisalign aligners hurt?
Invisalign is known for being more comfortable than traditional braces. However, it’s normal to feel mild pressure or tightness when switching to a new set of aligners—this means they’re working! Any soreness usually fades within a day or two. There are no metal wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks or gums, which makes Invisalign a great option for sensitive mouths.
What’s the daily routine like with Invisalign?
You’ll wear your aligners all day and night, only removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss. After eating, brushing your teeth before reinserting your aligners is essential to prevent trapping food particles and bacteria. The aligners themselves should be rinsed and gently cleaned daily. Most people adjust to the routine quickly, and the removable nature of Invisalign makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Is Invisalign worth the investment?
Absolutely. Invisalign offers a blend of aesthetics, convenience, and results that many patients find well worth the cost. You get a straighter smile without the look or discomfort of metal braces—and you’ll be able to enjoy your usual lifestyle with fewer restrictions. At Msmiline Dental Clinic, we offer payment plans and financing options to make Invisalign more affordable. We are here to guide you every step of the way.
