Invisalign®
Orthodontics for the whole family – Adults, adolescents and children

In the field of orthodontics, Invisalign is now recognized as the most discreet advanced technology, efficient, comfortable and easy to use. The vast majority of orthodontic problems can be treated through removable plastic trays (the “aligners”) among both adults and adolescents.
Invisible
The “aligners” are almost invisible to your friends and colleagues. If anyone notices that you wear them, it’s probably because they are too close to you!
Efficient
With new knowledge, the vast majority of orthodontic problems can be treated with Invisalign.
Quick
With acquired advanced techniques, the average length of treatment is 12 months.
Comfortable
The Invisalign technique is more comfortable compared to traditional braces.
Removable
Because you can remove the “aligners” during meals and to brush your teeth, you can maintain the same lifestyle and dental hygiene than before treatment.
Dr. Ménard is passionate about the Invisalign technique which allows him to have total control over all of your treatments. He is constantly looking for new knowledge during training in Quebec and abroad.
Dr. Ménard participates monthly in a circle of studies in orthodontics applied to the Invisalign technique. He is also a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligner and regularly is training there which will allow you to benefit from and be informed of the latest knowledge in the field of orthodontics.
In 2016 Dr. Ménard went to the Invisalign computer factory in Costa Rica which allowed him to meet the Invisalign technicians. This greatly improve his expertise and efficiency in treatments.
Anxious to improve the quality of treatments in 2016, Dr. Ménard integrates iTero digital fingerprints (see below). To stay on the cutting edge, in 2018, and in 2021, the clinic acquired the most recent generation of digital fingerprints: Itero Element 5D.
A smile can change everything
Your confidence. Your outlook. Your life. And with Invisalign, achieving the smile you always dreamed of doesn’t have to be a big deal. In fact, it barely has to impact your day-to-day life at all. Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position. Comfortable, clear and removable – Invisalign transforms your smile without disrupting your life. Something that over 3 million people worldwide have already discovered.

Refusing a patient for Invisalign treatment? Is it possible ? We have heard that some dentists refuse to treat patients who have particular characteristics.

In addition, with Itero® technology, we can simulate on computer so that you can see what your smile will look like in a few months!

What is Invisalign® ?
Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan based on your Invisalign Provider’s prescription, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your Invisalign Provider, based on your specific needs.
What are the benefits of Invisalign ?
Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.
Invisalign aligners are removable giving you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing the aligners. And you can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral hygiene.
Unlike traditional fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires. This means that in most cases less time is spent in your Invisalign Provider’s practice for adjustments.
And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even begin treatment so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.
Is this a new way to straighten teeth ?
Dentists or orthodontists have, in the past, successfully used removable appliances for years. But with the application of Align Technology’s 3D computer technology and mass-customisation, the Invisalign System can be used to treat a wide range of patients who wants straighter teeth. The unique ClinCheck® software allows patients to see their treatment plan from beginning to end even before the start of treatment.

Orthodontic treatment of Phase 1:
Everything you need to know

Objective
Prevent or stop the progression of alignment problems to allow normal eruption of permanent teeth.
Application situations
- Difference in jaw width
- Imbalance between the size of teeth and arches
- Crossbite
- Lack of contact between the anterior teeth
- Tooth migration after loss of a baby tooth
- Severe malpositions
Age of intervention

Prevention
Early orthodontic evaluation,ideally around age 7, is the best prevention for identifying and treating anomalies.
Oral Expansion
What is it?
Buccal (or palatal) expansion widens the upper arch when the palate is too narrow. Used especially in children, it prevents more complex orthodontic treatments.

When do we need it?
• Upper jaw too narrow causing disharmony
• Malocclusion, insufficient space, tooth overlap
• Crossbite, restricted nasal cavity, aesthetic problem
The benefits
Improves masticatory function, prevents premature wear and facilitates dental hygiene.
Device Types
Removable appliance: Removes for oral hygiene.
Fixed appliance: Glued in place, adjusted daily.
Processing
- Activation phase: Daily adjustments to widen the palate (2-3 weeks).
- Immobilization phase: Device held in place to stabilize (approximately 3 months).
Duration of treatment
4 to 6 months, variable depending on severity, oral condition and age.
Perfect timing
Most effective between 5 and 8 years.
Optimization
Good oral hygiene, appliance maintenance, discipline, and wearing a retainer after treatment.
