Whether you’ve completed Invisalign® or braces, wearing a retainer is the key to protecting your investment, and your confidence. It keeps your teeth stable, and ensures your smile.

If you’ve been researching ways to straighten teeth especially for your teen, you’ve probably come across two common options: Invisalign® clear aligners and at-home mail-order aligner kits. 

If your teen has been recommended for braces, you may be wondering what the process looks like, how long treatment usually takes, and what you can do to support them at home.

Traditional braces often require frequent adjustments, but Invisalign typically involves shorter and less frequent appointments. Most adults only need to visit their orthodontist every 10-12 weeks.

Your first visit involves a complete review of your dental history and oral health. At Bronte Family Orthodontics, Dr. Aggarwal will take detailed photographs & X-rays to understand your teeth.

Getting Invisalign aligners is just the first step in your smile transformation journey. The real challenge comes with wearing them correctly every day and keeping up with your treatment.
