Straighten your teeth discreetly with Invisalign® in Burlington, ON
Have you ever wondered how so many people achieve beautifully straight smiles without the look of traditional braces? The answer might be Invisalign®! This advanced orthodontic treatment offers a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires.
With Invisalign®, you can improve your smile while continuing to enjoy your daily life—no need to worry about noticeable braces or discomfort from wires. Whether you’re at work, socializing, or enjoying your favourite foods, Invisalign® allows you to straighten your teeth with confidence and ease.
How Invisalign® works
Invisalign® straightens your teeth using a series of custom-designed, clear aligners that gradually shift them into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible and removable, allowing you to improve your smile discreetly and comfortably.
Step 1: Your Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation to determine if Invisalign® is the right fit for you. We take detailed images and digital impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. Using advanced technology, you’ll even get a preview of your expected results before starting treatment!
Step 2: Custom Aligners & Treatment Process
Your aligners are fabricated in an Invisalign® laboratory using smooth, BPA-free plastic for a comfortable fit. Once they’re ready, you’ll visit our office to pick them up, where we’ll guide you on proper wear, care, and maintenance.
Wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only when eating, drinking (except water), or brushing and flossing.
Switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks to keep your treatment progressing.
Step 3: Your Progress & Final Results
Each Invisalign® treatment is tailored to the individual, but most patients complete their journey in about one year. After achieving your beautifully straight smile, you’ll receive a custom retainer to wear at night, ensuring your teeth stay in their new, perfectly aligned position.
With Invisalign®, you can straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly—without the hassle of metal braces!
Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an excellent option for adults and older teens who want a straighter smile without the look and feel of traditional braces. This discreet and comfortable treatment can correct a variety of alignment issues, including:
✔ Crooked teeth
✔ Overcrowded teeth
✔ Gaps between teeth
✔ Overbite
✔ Underbite
✔ Open bite
However, Invisalign® isn’t the best solution for every case. Severe misalignment or complex bite issues may require traditional orthodontic treatments for optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether Invisalign® is the right choice for you. If another treatment would be more effective, he’ll guide you toward the best option for achieving a healthy, confident smile.

Invisalign FAQ
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. You’ll start with the first aligner in your personalized series and progress to the next set every few weeks. These aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and apply gentle, controlled pressure to move them into the correct position.
What Material Are Invisalign® Clear Aligners Made Of?
Invisalign® aligners are crafted from a high-quality, transparent dental-grade plastic. They are made using SmartTrack® thermoplastic material, which is uniquely designed for Invisalign® treatment. This patented material ensures a snug, comfortable fit while providing the precise level of pressure needed to effectively and efficiently shift your teeth into place.
What Are the Primary Benefits of Invisalign®?
Virtually Invisible – The clear aligners blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them barely noticeable.
Removable – Unlike traditional braces, you can take Invisalign® aligners out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
No Metal Wires or Brackets – Enjoy a more comfortable experience without irritation from brackets and wires.
Convenience & Flexibility – You can continue enjoying your favourite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine.
What is the Invisalign® Treatment Process?
Your Invisalign® journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Nguyen. He will evaluate your smile and create a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your dental needs. Using advanced imaging, you’ll even get a preview of what your smile will look like after treatment!
Once your custom aligners are ready:
– Wear them for 20 to 22 hours per day (removing them only for meals and oral care).
– Switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks to keep your treatment on track.
– Each set gently shifts your teeth into their ideal position for a healthier, more aligned smile.
How Long Does Invisalign® Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. For minor adjustments, results may be seen in as little as six months. However, for most patients, Invisalign® treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months. Dr. Nguyen will provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.
Can I Remove My Aligners Whenever I Want?
Yes, Invisalign® aligners are removable! You can take them out whenever you need to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, or floss. However, for the best results, you must wear them for at least 20 to 22 hours per day. Not wearing them consistently can slow down your progress and extend your treatment time.
What our Patients Say

~ Denielle Trisha★★★★★
Dr. Nguyen is hands down THE BEST dentist I've ever been to! He and his team are the sweetest, most attentive, and funniest team I've ever encountered. They are soo understanding and always so helpful and unlike the other dentists I've been to, I never once felt insecure or judged during an appointment. I came to Dr. Nguyen for an invisalign treatment and I enjoyed the entire process! He was honest and transparent and he really cared about the concerns I had. He and his team took care of my biggest insecurity and my fear of going to the dentist! I honestly never looked forward to a dentist appointment until I started seeing Dr. Nguyen (and Mai!!!). I highly recommend Tansley Woods Dentistry to anyone thats in the market for a new dentist!
