Welcome to North York Dentistry! We are leading family and cosmetic dentistry in North York offering Invisalign treatment – the most advanced aligner technology globally. You can now get straighter teeth without worrying about the cons of traditional braces.
Think of Invisalign as “invisible” braces that are just as effective (if not more). The treatment also has many other pros, which are discussed below.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a leading brand for clear aligners (which are transparent orthodontic devices used to straighten/adjust teeth). The aligners are made using flexible thermoplastic material and are designed to be effective without being conspicuous like traditional braces (1).
How They Work
The aligners are custom-made to fit tightly and gently shift your teeth into position. The treatment usually involves regular checkups and several sets of new clear aligners every few weeks to effectively and continuously shift the teeth into the required position.
For the best results, patients need to wear the aligners as recommended i.e., over 20 hours per day, and take them out when eating, brushing, and flossing.
Who Needs Invisalign?
Clear aligners are for anyone (adults and children) with crooked teeth/misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, an overbite, underbite or crossbite, and gaps between teeth. They are suitable for anyone who wants a straighter smile for cosmetic reasons among other oral health reasons like correcting an overbite.
Our Invisalign Procedure
Our Invisalign dental treatment is a simple 4 step process:
Step 1: Invisalign Consultation
If you like the idea of clear aligners over braces, book an initial consultation with us.
Step 2: Custom Invisalign Treatment Plan
During your initial appointment, our lead dentist – Dr. Claire Benmergui (alongside her dental team) – will create a personalized treatment plan that begins by taking 3D digital expressions of your teeth, capturing exact shape, alignment, and movement.
We have invested in the latest dental technologies to ensure we create custom aligners that fit you perfectly. Your custom treatment plan will also include information such as how long your treatment will be, aligner care tips, and more.
Step 3: Fitting
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll need to wear them to ensure they fit perfectly. You’ll also get information on how long you should wear them.
Step 4: Assessment
As mentioned, you’ll need to visit us regularly for digital scans, monitoring progress and getting a set of new aligners periodically. Assessments are also important for determining the exact treatment time.
Treatment Cost of Invisalign Aligners in North York
The cost of Invisalign Aligners at North York Dentistry will vary depending on factors like the number of aligners needed to straighten teeth and the dental visits required before completing treatment.

Invisalign vs Traditional Braces: Should You Consider Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Invisalign aligners have many benefits over traditional metal braces. The most notable include:
- Invisible braces: Invisalign aligners are clear and hardly recognizable, making them perfect for those who wish for inconspicuous orthodontic treatment.
- Effective: As long as the aligners are customized perfectly by reputable Invisalign providers like us, they will fit firmly and correct teeth alignment problems as effectively (if not better) than traditional metal braces. Clinical studies also confirm the effectiveness of Invisalign in orthodontic treatment (2).
- More comfort: Traditional wire braces are notorious for irritating and sometimes injuring the gums and cheeks. Invisalign aligners don’t have wires. They are made of comfortable thermoplastics.
- No dietary restrictions. Removable aligners: You can eat anything while undergoing Invisalign treatment because the aligners are removable. The same isn’t true for traditional braces where you need to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods.
- Lower risk of cavities and side effects: Unlike traditional braces that make it difficult to keep teeth clean, Invisalign aligners can be removed to allow thorough brushing and flossing of teeth. What’s more, Invisalign aligners don’t cause side effects like enamel erosion, tooth sensitivity, and jaw pain.
