For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Having straight teeth not only enhances your appearance but also helps prevent costly dental and medical problems. It might be hard to believe, but having straight teeth is crucial for a healthy life. You might think your crooked teeth don’t bother you, so there’s no point in fixing them. However, teeth need to be in the correct position to function properly and last a lifetime.
The Risks of Tooth Crowding and Misalignment
Nearly 9 out of 10 people experience at least mild crowding or misalignment, which can lead to:
- Chipped front teeth or tooth loss
- Food getting stuck between teeth
- Difficulty flossing and cleaning between teeth
- Increased risk of cavities
- Gum disease, which can elevate the risk of systemic health problems like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and stroke
If you have any of these conditions, schedule an appointment at Napanee Smiles Family Dentistry in Napanee for an evaluation of your oral health.
When Is a Good Time to Start?
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth or recently received a recommendation from your dentist, delaying treatment only extends your dissatisfaction and increases the risk of further dental issues. Remember, teeth continue to shift over time.
- Your teeth will be more misaligned in a few years than they are today.
- The more movement your teeth require, the longer and more costly the treatment.
Starting sooner means easier, faster, and less expensive treatment. Don’t worry, treatment is affordable. You don’t need to pay the entire cost upfront. Our office offers various payment options to suit your needs.
What Can You Expect Once You Start Your Treatment?
Our mission is to help our patients achieve overall health and a beautiful smile by starting with a good foundation. This means straightening your teeth so they are in proper alignment and functioning correctly. You’re never too old to benefit from straightening your teeth.
Your Treatment Plan
The process begins with digital scans of your teeth to create your treatment plan. Using Invisalign’s software, we can accurately predict how your teeth will change over time. We can even show you how your teeth will look at different stages of the treatment. Once your digital plan is finalized, your custom aligners are made using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art printing process.
The First Aligners
Once the aligners arrive, special fasteners may be temporarily bonded to your teeth to help clip in your aligners. These fasteners are mostly invisible and will be removed at the end of treatment.
Follow-up Appointments
You will receive a new set of clear aligners every two weeks. Your teeth will gradually shift into place as you progress through each aligner in the series until they reach their final, correct position. Office visits will be scheduled roughly every 1-2 months to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment duration varies depending on individual needs, but many patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 6 to 18 months.
Yes, Invisalign can be used by teens and adults. However, suitability depends on the specific alignment issues, which your dentist can evaluate during a consultation.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, which makes them comfortable to wear. Some patients may experience slight discomfort or pressure when starting a new set of aligners, but this is typically temporary.
Aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners. You can enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions.
Clean your aligners by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and rinsing them with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Specialized cleaning crystals or solutions are also available for a deeper clean.
Invisalign may cause a slight lisp or change in speech when first worn, but most patients adjust within a few days as they get used to the aligners.
The cost of Invisalign can be comparable to traditional braces, depending on the complexity of the case and treatment length. During your consultation, your dentist will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options.
