Invisalign® in Whitby, ON
When choosing an option for straightening your teeth, it’s important to consider what works best for not only your appearance, but for your lifestyle. While the results may appear the same—a confident, beautiful smile—when you stop and actually compare Invisalign® to other teeth-straightening options, the advantages become quite apparent.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Gandhi plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

Invisible & Removable
Invisalign aligners invisible and removable as well, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment and brush and floss without hassle.
Comfortable
Invisalign aligners are comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
Visualize
Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
Time
With traditional metal braces, patients need to be seen once a month for wire adjustments. With Invisalign, you will only need to be seen by Dr. Gandhi every eight to ten weeks.
Invisalign® with iTero® Digital Scanning
As a Preferred Invisalign® provider, Dr. Gandhi uses the iTero® Digital Impression System to make your treatment more comfortable and accurate. Instead of traditional impressions, the iTero scanner captures a digital 3D image of your teeth in minutes.
With this advanced technology, we can create a precise treatment plan and even show you a preview of how your new smile could look before treatment begins. The iTero scanner also helps track your progress along the way, ensuring your aligners are working exactly as planned.
