Invisalign Treatment in London, Ontario
Straighten your teeth without the hassle of braces with Alternative Treatment
If you’re considering a more subtle alternative to braces, Invisalign might be the right fit. At Wortley Road Dental in London, ON, we offer clear aligner treatment to help straighten your smile without the hassle of metal brackets or wires. Invisalign can be a good option for issues like crowding, gaps, or bite alignment—offering a comfortable and discreet way to improve your smile.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners made from medical-grade thermoplastic. These trays are custom-designed to gradually shift your teeth into alignment over time. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are discreet, comfortable, and easy to remove when eating, brushing, or flossing.
How does Invisalign work?
Each set of aligners is worn for 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next. The trays apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Most Invisalign treatment plans last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
Your Invisalign dentist at Wortley Road Dental will take digital impressions of your teeth and design a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs. You’ll receive regular check-ins to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
Which is better: Invisalign or Braces?
The decision between Invisalign and traditional braces depends on your dental needs, lifestyle, and preferences:
- Appearance: Invisalign is nearly invisible; braces are more noticeable.
- Comfort: No wires or brackets with Invisalign means fewer mouth abrasions.
- Convenience: Invisalign trays are removable, allowing more flexibility during meals.
- Complexity: Braces may still be the better option for more severe bite issues or tooth rotations.
At Wortley Road Dental, we only recommend the treatment option that’s in your best interest. If Invisalign is a suitable choice for your dental goals, we’ll walk you through the process. If traditional braces or another orthodontic treatment would be more effective, we’ll let you know.
Will Invisalign Work for Me?
Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
If you’re unsure whether you’re a candidate, we offer consultations to assess your case and discuss what to expect from Invisalign treatment.
How Often Should I Change Invisalign Trays?
Most patients switch to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their progress. You’ll need to wear your trays for 20 to 22 hours a day for best results. Compliance plays a key role in how effective Invisalign is—wearing your aligners consistently can make a big difference in treatment outcomes.

Can Invisalign Fix Overbites and Crowding?
Yes, Invisalign is effective in treating mild to moderate overbites, underbites, and dental crowding. By gradually repositioning teeth, the aligners can improve overall bite alignment and spacing. For complex cases, our team will assess whether additional orthodontic strategies are necessary.
