Invisalign in Montreal
Dreaming of straighter teeth without anyone noticing? At the Di Battista Kornbluth Muller clinic, Invisalign is one of the discreet options we offer patients in Montreal.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a treatment method that uses clear aligners. Removable and custom-made, these aligners gradually move the teeth into their ideal position, with no wires or metal brackets. For this treatment, all of the permanent teeth must have come in.
How does an Invisalign treatment work?
It all starts with detailed impressions used to create a 3D virtual model of your mouth and the planned tooth movements.
A plan designed and reviewed by our orthodontists
The treatment plan is set out and then reviewed step by step by our orthodontists. Once the virtual treatment is approved, your series of aligners is produced.
A series of aligners you change every 14 days
Each aligner moves the teeth a little further. You switch to a new aligner every 14 days and wear them at all times, except during meals.
The advantages of clear aligners
- Discretion: the aligners are clear and nearly invisible day to day.
- Freedom: being removable, they simply come out for meals.
- Easier hygiene: because they come off, brushing and flossing stay simple.
- Comfort: less cheek and tongue irritation than with a fixed appliance.
Invisalign or traditional braces?
The difference comes down mainly to how clear and removable Invisalign is, whereas traditional braces are fixed. Every situation is unique: some cases are a perfect fit for aligners, others call for a fixed appliance.
Is Invisalign right for you?
Since all the permanent teeth need to be in, Invisalign is mainly suited to teens and adults. We confirm whether this type of treatment suits you at your first exam.
How long does treatment take?
The length depends on how complex your case is. Most treatments run from 12 to 36 months, with a check-up every 6 to 8 weeks and a new aligner every 14 days. Wearing them consistently directly affects the result.

Frequently asked questions about Invisalign
Are the aligners noticeable?
Barely. Being clear, they go almost unnoticed in everyday life.
Can I eat whatever I want?
Yes. You take your aligners out for meals, then put them back in.
What about hygiene?
Simpler than with a fixed appliance. Because the aligners are removable, you brush and floss as usual.
Is it covered by insurance?
Often in part. Many insurers reimburse a portion of orthodontic care, and in Quebec it qualifies as an eligible medical expense.
