Your Kid Invisalign Journey in Markham

Your Teen’s Invisalign journey starts with Dr. Sharma, a certified Invisalign provider in Markham. The process includes:

Personalized Teen Consultation

Dr. Sharma meets with you and your teen to discuss goals and expectations. Unlike other offices where you might see different staff members, Dr. Sharma personally evaluates your teen's needs.

Custom Treatment Planning

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, Dr. Sharma creates a precise digital model of your teen's teeth. This allows both you and your teen to preview the expected results before treatment begins.

Custom Teen Aligner Creation

Your teen's custom Invisalign aligners are fabricated specifically for their teeth. Each set is designed to make small, precise adjustments.

Progressive Teeth Movement

Your teen will wear each set of aligners for 1–2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The aligners gradually shift teeth into position according to Dr. Sharma's treatment plan.

Regular Progress Checks

Dr. Sharma personally monitors progress during brief appointments, making adjustments as needed for optimal results.

Common Teen Orthodontic Issues Solved with Invisalign

Proven Solutions for Growing Smiles

Crowded Teeth

When teeth don't have enough space, they can overlap and twist. Invisalign and braces create proper spacing, allowing each tooth to align in its correct position for a more harmonious smile and easier cleaning.

Gaps Between Teeth

Unwanted spaces between teeth can affect your appearance and oral health. Our treatments gradually bring teeth together, closing these gaps for a more confident smile and reducing food trapping between teeth.

Overbites

An overbite occurs when upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth. Correcting this improves your facial profile, reduces uneven tooth wear, and helps prevent jaw pain and potential damage to front teeth.

Underbites

When lower teeth extend past upper teeth, it can create both functional and aesthetic concerns. Our treatments gradually adjust tooth positioning, helping to align your jaws properly for improved bite function and appearance.

Crossbites

A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting. This misalignment can cause uneven wear, gum recession, and jaw problems. We correct this by aligning upper and lower jaws properly.

Open Bites

When upper and lower teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed, it can cause speech problems and difficulty eating. Our treatments close these gaps, creating proper contact between upper and lower teeth for improved function.

Caring for Teen Invisalign Aligners

Simple Daily Tips

Proper care ensures that aligners remain clear and effective throughout treatment. Rinse aligners when removing them to prevent dry saliva and plaque buildup. Clean them daily with a soft toothbrush and clear soap to maintain transparency. Always store your aligners in the protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss. Remember to remove them when eating or drinking anything besides water to prevent staining and warping. Brush teeth before reinserting aligners to maintain optimal oral hygiene and prevent trapping food particles against teeth.

Teen Invisalign Treatment Timeline

The duration of Invisalign Teen treatment depends on specific needs, but most cases follow this general timeline:

  • Initial Consultation – Dr. Sharma evaluates your teeth and discusses your goals

  • Digital Scanning – Precise 3D images capture your current tooth positions

  • Custom Treatment Plan – Dr. Sharma creates your personalized Invisalign plan

  • Aligner Delivery – Your kid receives your first sets of custom aligners

  • Progress Checks – Regular visits with Dr. Sharma (typically every 6–8 weeks)

  • Treatment Completion – Most teen cases finish in 12–18 months

  • Retention Phase – Custom retainers maintain your new smile

Frequently Asked Question

About Teen Invisalign in Markham

Will Invisalign be uncomfortable for my teenager?
Most teens feel mild pressure for one to two days when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that the teeth are moving as planned. The sensation is generally much less uncomfortable than the adjustments associated with traditional braces and eases quickly as the teeth settle. Most teens adjust easily after the first few sets and find the process very manageable.
How do I know if my teenager is wearing the aligners enough?
Invisalign Teen aligners include blue compliance indicators built into the plastic. These indicators fade gradually with wear, giving parents and Dr. Sharma-Fung a visual way to confirm aligners are being worn for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day. At each check-up appointment, Dr. Sharma-Fung personally reviews your teen's progress and can identify early on if wear time needs to improve.
Can my teenager play sports with Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign is an excellent option for teens who play sports. For contact sports, the aligners can be removed and a standard mouthguard worn instead, which is not possible with fixed braces. For non-contact activities, the aligners can stay in with no risk of cuts or injuries from brackets or wires. Dr. Sharma-Fung will advise on the right approach based on the sports your teen plays.
Can my teenager play musical instruments with Invisalign?
Yes. Teens who play wind or brass instruments often find Invisalign much easier to manage than traditional braces. Metal brackets and wires can affect embouchure and cause discomfort against the lips. Invisalign aligners have a smooth surface and can be removed for rehearsals or performances if preferred. Most teen musicians adjust to playing with their aligners in within a short time.
What happens if my teenager loses or breaks an aligner?
Invisalign Teen includes up to six replacement aligners at no additional cost, specifically because teens have active lives. If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact our Markham office as soon as possible. Dr. Sharma-Fung will advise whether to wear the previous set or move to the next set while a replacement is arranged. Acting quickly helps keep treatment on schedule.
Is Invisalign Teen as effective as metal braces?
For most teen orthodontic cases, Invisalign Teen achieves results comparable to traditional metal braces. It treats a wide range of issues including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The key factor is consistent wear of 20 to 22 hours per day. For complex cases, Dr. Sharma-Fung will assess whether Invisalign, metal braces, or a combination approach is the best path to the right result. She will explain the recommendation and why at your consultation.
How long will my teenager need to wear Invisalign?
Treatment length depends on the complexity of the case. Most teen patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule. Dr. Sharma-Fung will provide a realistic timeline at the initial consultation based on your teenager's specific teeth and treatment goals.
How much does Invisalign Teen cost in Markham?
The cost of Invisalign Teen varies depending on the complexity of your teenager's case and the number of aligners required. At Oasis Orthodontics, we offer interest-free payment plans and flexible financing options to make treatment accessible for families. Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that can be applied toward Invisalign Teen, the same way it applies to braces. Bring your insurance information to the consultation and our team will help you understand your coverage and out-of-pocket cost.
