Your Invisible Secret to a Straighter Smile
with Invisalign Clear Aligners
Have you ever wished for a straighter smile without the hassle of metal braces? With Invisalign, that's no problem! Invisalign uses custom, clear aligners that iteratively move your teeth into their perfect final positions. They’re virtually invisible, so you can keep smiling confidently throughout your treatment. Plus, they’re removable, which means you can eat all your favourite foods and brush and floss normally.
Your smile is special. Entrust it to a specialist.
Dr. Selnes is a Platinum Plus Invisalign Provider, placing him among the top 5% of Invisalign providers in North America. This means you’re in expert hands with an Orthodontist who has a proven track record of success with Invisalign clear aligners.
He’ll create a custom treatment plan that’s unique to your bite and needs, based on a digital scan of your teeth. You’ll even be able to see a preview of your new smile before you even get started!

Can Invisalign fix my smile?
Invisalign can effectively treat all sorts of orthodontic problems, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Open bite
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Gaps between teeth
Invisalign treatment gradually transforms your smile using a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to specific teeth, gradually shifting them into their ideal position.
The best way to find out if Invisalign is right for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Selnes. He’ll examine your teeth and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

What to Expect From Invisalign Treatment
Your Invisalign journey with Heritage Orthodontics begins with a complimentary consultation with Dr. Selnes. He’ll use our state-of-the-art digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth, which allows us to map out your personalized treatment plan. You’ll even get to preview your new smile before you begin treatment! This advanced clear aligner system ensures precision, comfort, and convenience with removable and easy-to-clean trays.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. You’ll visit Dr. Selnes periodically for checkups, but you’ll have fewer appointments than with traditional metal braces.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces: Which is Right for You?
- Virtually invisible: Invisalign clear aligners are clear and discreet, so you can smile confidently throughout treatment.
- Enjoy Your Favourite Foods: Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions. Simply take them out before meals or snacks, then pop them back in when you're done.
- Better hygiene: Since you will take out your aligners when you brush and floss, it's easier for you to maintain great oral hygiene!
- Comfort is Key: Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that's custom-fit to your teeth. This means you won't have to worry about wires or brackets poking and irritating your mouth.
- Fewer office visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer checkups than traditional metal braces.

Debunking Invisalign Myths
We know you might have some questions about Invisalign, so let’s address some common misconceptions:
Myth: Invisalign is only for minor corrections.
Fact: Invisalign is great for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including cases that you think are too complex for aligner technology. Whether you have gapped teeth, crowding, an oepn bite, overbite, underbite, crossbite or crooked teeth, Invisalign could be the solution you’re looking for.
Myth: Invisalign is just as inconvenient as metal braces.
Fact: Invisalign offers much more freedom and comfort than traditional braces. You can eat and drink whatever you like, as long as you remove your aligners beforehand. Plus, you’ll have fewer checkups with Dr. Selnes than you would with braces.
Myth: Invisalign is less effective than braces.
Fact: Invisalign is highly effective for many orthodontic issues, as long as you wear your aligners as prescribed and follow the treatment plan. If Dr. Selnes determines that Invisalign can correct your bite, the correct end result of a straight smile will be the same, regardless which treatment you follow.
Myth: Invisalign aligners are still quite noticeable.
Fact: Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible. Most people will not realize that you're wearing Invisalign upon first impression and they won't appear prominently in photos like braces would.
Myth: Invisalign is only for adults.
Fact: Invisalign is a great option for kids (early treatment), teens and adults alike! Teens frequently enjoy the advantages of Invisalign Teen, a line of aligners specifically designed for younger patients.
After Invisalign: Maintaining Your Beautiful Smile
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Retainers are an essential part of any orthodontic treatment, and we’ll create custom aligners and retainers for you to ensure your teeth stay in their new, perfect position.
