Invisalign® Treatment
ORTHODONTIC & INVISALIGN® TREATMENT NEAR ST. JOHN’S
The alignment of your teeth affects the way you chew, how easily you can brush and floss – and how you feel about your smile. At Paradise Dental Care, we offer orthodontic treatment to children, teens and adults. We can make traditional metal braces more fun for children with coloured bands, while adults and older teens may prefer more discreet treatment with clear braces from Invisalign®. Our Invisalign® practice in the St. John’s area has helped people of all ages improve the alignment of their teeth with a variety of orthodontic treatments.

ABOUT INVISALIGN® TREATMENT
While there are some “quick fix” ways, such as the application of veneers, to hide problems with tooth alignment, Invisalign® aligners are clear, comfortable aligners that actually correct tooth alignment over time. No wires or brackets are used, so they are more comfortable than the braces you remember from your childhood, and they are made of clear material, so they won’t hide your smile.
At Paradise Dental Care, you will be given a series of clear aligners, each designed to be worn in sequence, which gradually adjust the position of your teeth. You will be able to remove them when you eat, so you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods; you can also remove the aligners for easy cleaning. You should plan on wearing your aligner for most of the day (20 to 22 hours per day is most effective).
INVISALIGN® ALIGNERS CAN BE USED TO TREAT
Invisalign® can treat:
-
Crowding: Invisalign® may be used when there is insufficient space in the mouth, causing teeth to overlap or become misaligned. The aligners help create gradual spacing to improve alignment.
-
Spacing: Gaps between teeth can occur due to natural spacing or missing teeth. Invisalign® works to gradually close these spaces through planned tooth movement.
-
Crossbite: A crossbite occurs when upper teeth sit inside lower teeth in certain areas. Invisalign® may help adjust tooth positioning to improve bite alignment.
-
Underbite: An underbite is present when the lower teeth extend past the upper front teeth. Treatment may assist in repositioning teeth to improve bite balance.
-
Overbite: An overbite occurs when upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth significantly. Invisalign® can help reduce excessive overlap through staged alignment changes.
Our team in St. John’s assesses each case to develop a suitable Invisalign® treatment approach based on oral health findings.
INVISALIGN® TREATMENT OVERVIEW
The Invisalign® treatment process involves several planned stages to support gradual tooth movement and ongoing monitoring throughout care:
-
Initial consultation: Our team examines tooth alignment, bite position, and overall oral health during the first visit. Treatment suitability and patient concerns are also discussed at this stage.
-
Digital treatment planning: Digital scans and imaging are used to create a customized Invisalign® treatment plan. These records help map the expected movement of teeth over time.
-
Custom aligners: A series of clear aligners is prepared based on the patient’s treatment plan. Each set is designed to apply controlled pressure to specific teeth.
-
Aligner wear schedule: Patients typically wear aligners for most of the day and remove them for meals and oral hygiene. New aligners are usually changed every one to two weeks as directed.
-
Progress monitoring: Follow-up appointments are scheduled to assess tooth movement and treatment progress. Additional aligners or adjustments may be provided if required.
-
Retention after treatment: Retainers may be recommended once Invisalign® treatment is completed. These appliances help maintain the corrected tooth positions over time.
Our team at Paradise Dental Care strives to provide Invisalign® treatment in St. John’s with clear planning and ongoing patient support throughout each stage of care.
