Clear aligners straighten teeth with a series of custom-made, removable trays — no brackets and no wires. At Smile Avenue Dentistry in North York, clear aligner treatment starts with an assessment of your teeth, bite and goals, so your dentist can confirm whether aligners can achieve the result you want before you commit to a plan.
Confirmed by your dentist at your visit, after an assessment

Most people will not notice you are wearing them.
Take them out for meals, brushing and flossing.
No brackets or wires to damage.
Many patients need shorter, less frequent visits than with braces.
No metal edges against your cheeks and lips.
The cost of clear aligners depends on how many trays your plan needs and how complex the movement is. Your dentist confirms the exact cost after an assessment, before treatment begins. Call Smile Avenue Dentistry at (416) 250-5354 to book an assessment.
Clear aligners are transparent plastic trays made from digital scans of your teeth. Each set of trays moves your teeth gradually, and you switch to the next set every one to two weeks, as directed by your dentist. Smile Avenue Dentistry provides Invisalign and clear aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Because the trays are removable, you can eat, brush and floss normally throughout treatment.
Your dentist examines your teeth and bite.
See the expected tooth movement before you start.
20 to 22 hours a day, removing them to eat and brush.
Progress reviews and your next sets of trays.
After the final trays, a retainer keeps your teeth in their new position.
Clear aligners in North York suit many teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite issues such as overbite, underbite and crossbite. Some complex movements still need traditional braces or a combined plan — your assessment is where that is decided honestly. Good candidates also commit to wearing the trays 20 to 22 hours a day; aligners only work while they are worn.

It depends on how much movement your teeth need. Simpler cases can take several months; more involved plans take longer. Your dentist gives you an estimated timeline with your plan, before treatment begins.

Orthodontic services are currently not available under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Private insurance varies by plan — some plans include orthodontic coverage with limits. The clinic can help you check your coverage and request a predetermination before you decide.
Aligners are discreet and removable, and suit many mild to moderate cases. Braces can handle more complex movements and do not depend on remembering to wear trays. Your dentist compares both honestly against your teeth, your lifestyle and your goals at your assessment.
