Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern and effective treatment method used to straighten misaligned teeth. The reason why it is so popular is that, unlike braces, Invisalign is undetectable and virtually invisible.
Invisalign & Orthodontics in Vernon, BC
Conservative, Growth-Focused Orthodontic Care for Children, Teens, and Adults
At Aberdeen Dental, orthodontic treatment is approached with the same philosophy that guides all our care: early assessment, conservative intervention, and long-term stability. Whether we are guiding jaw growth in children or straightening teeth for teens and adults, our goal is to create healthy, functional, and confident smiles—without overtreatment.
We provide early orthodontic evaluations, expansion therapy, Invisalign®, and Invisalign Teen, and we carefully assess when aligner therapy is appropriate versus when referral or alternative orthodontic solutions may be required.
Early Orthodontic Treatment (Interceptive Orthodontics)
Guiding Growth for Healthier Smiles
The growth and development of the jaws play a critical role in determining how teeth erupt and align. When jaw size is insufficient or dental arches are narrow, teeth may become crowded, crooked, or impacted.
When these issues are identified early, they can often be corrected or significantly reduced with timely intervention.
Palatal Expansion & Growth Guidance
One effective early treatment option is the use of expansion devices, which help guide jaw growth and create space for the proper eruption of adult teeth. These appliances:
Encourage favorable jaw development
Reduce crowding and impaction risk
May decrease the need for extractions or complex orthodontics later
Expansion therapy can be started as early as 6–7 years old, when growth is most responsive. Early orthodontic evaluation allows us to intervene at the optimal time—often making future treatment simpler and more predictable.
Invisalign Treatment in Vernon, BC
A Modern, Discreet Way to Straighten Teeth
Invisalign is a modern and highly effective orthodontic system designed to straighten misaligned teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. Invisalign is popular with both teens and adults because it is:
Virtually invisible
Comfortable and smooth
Removable for eating and oral hygiene
Designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle
In many cases, Invisalign can correct crowding, spacing, bite issues, and alignment concerns without the appearance or restrictions of traditional braces.
How Invisalign Works
At Aberdeen Dental, Invisalign treatment begins with advanced digital planning. We take a precise 3D scan of your teeth and design a customized series of aligners tailored to your individual needs.
Each set of aligners applies gentle, controlled pressure, gradually moving teeth into their ideal positions. As you progress through the series, your smile becomes straighter with each stage—while allowing you to continue eating, speaking, and living normally.
Invisalign Teen in Vernon
Orthodontic Treatment Designed for Growing Smiles
For teenagers, orthodontic treatment should support confidence—not interfere with it. Invisalign Teen offers a discreet alternative to braces, allowing teens to:
Participate in sports and activities
Eat their favorite foods
Maintain excellent oral hygiene
Smile confidently at school and social events
The clear aligners are smooth, comfortable, and designed to accommodate the unique needs of developing smiles. Invisalign Teen helps teens straighten their teeth without the stigma often associated with traditional braces.

The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation & Smile Assessment — We evaluate your bite, alignment, and goals, and determine whether Invisalign is right for you. A 3D scan allows us to preview potential results.
Customized Treatment Plan — A detailed digital roadmap is created, outlining tooth movement, number of aligners, and estimated treatment time. Financial options are reviewed.
Treatment Begins — Your custom aligners arrive approximately two weeks later. Attachments are placed as needed, and you begin wearing aligners 22 hours per day.
Aligner Changes & Monitoring — Aligners are typically changed every 7 days. Quick checkups every 6 weeks ensure progress stays on track.
Completion & Retention — Once treatment is complete, attachments are removed, teeth are polished, and Vivera® retainers are fabricated to maintain your new smile.
