Invisalign in Brantford
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom made, removable trays to gradually shift your teeth into better alignment, without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. At Lifetime Dental, you can get Invisalign from your own family dentist, with no separate referral needed.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom made trays, worn in sequence to gradually move your teeth into their new position.
Wear time. Aligners should be worn twenty to twenty two hours a day, removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Tray changes. Each set of aligners is typically worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next tray in your series.
Minor adjustments. In some cases, small tooth colored buttons or a very slight reduction of less than one millimeter between certain teeth may be needed to create enough room for your teeth to shift properly.
Monitoring. Dr. Kim monitors your progress throughout treatment and confirms when you are ready to move to your next set of aligners.
What Does Invisalign Cost in Brantford?
In Ontario, Invisalign treatment typically ranges from around three thousand to seven thousand dollars, depending on the complexity of your case. This is generally comparable to, and sometimes similar to, the cost of traditional braces, so cost alone should not be the only factor in your decision.
We believe in being upfront about cost. Flexible payment plans are available, and our team is happy to walk you through your specific estimate and any insurance coverage during your consultation, so there are no surprises.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign is a great fit for many patients, particularly those dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, or mild to moderate bite issues like overbites and underbites. It offers real advantages, including a nearly invisible appearance and the ability to remove your aligners for eating and cleaning.
That said, honesty matters here. Invisalign is not automatically the right choice for everyone. It requires real discipline to wear consistently for the recommended twenty to twenty two hours a day, and for more complex bite or alignment issues, traditional braces sometimes offer more precise control. During your consultation, Dr. Kim will give you a straightforward assessment of whether Invisalign is likely to give you the results you want, or whether another option might serve you better.
Why Get Invisalign From Your Family Dentist
Getting Invisalign at Lifetime Dental means one office, one team, and no separate referral to an outside specialist. Dr. Kim can coordinate your Invisalign treatment alongside your regular checkups and cleanings, so your orthodontic care and your general oral health are always managed together, not treated as two separate relationships.
Invisalign or Braces, Which Is Right for You?
Both options can address many of the same concerns, but they work differently. Invisalign offers a nearly invisible, removable option well suited to mild to moderate cases, while traditional braces are fixed in place and often better suited for more complex corrections.

What Our Brantford Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does Invisalign typically cost in Ontario?
Invisalign in Ontario typically ranges from around three thousand to seven thousand dollars, depending on the complexity of your case. We provide a specific, written estimate after your consultation.
2. Is five thousand dollars a lot for Invisalign?
Not particularly. Five thousand dollars sits within the typical Ontario price range for Invisalign, which generally runs from about three thousand to seven thousand dollars depending on your specific case. Cost varies based on how much movement your teeth need.
3. Can Invisalign be covered by OHIP?
No. OHIP does not cover orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, for adults or children. Some private dental insurance plans offer partial coverage, and our team can help you understand your specific benefits.
4. Why don't dentists recommend Invisalign for everyone?
Invisalign requires real discipline, since aligners need to be worn twenty to twenty two hours a day to work as intended. It is also generally best suited to mild to moderate alignment and bite issues. For more complex cases, traditional braces sometimes offer more precise control and a more predictable outcome. We will always give you an honest recommendation based on your specific case, not a one size fits all answer.
5. How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on the complexity of your case. Dr. Kim will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
6. Do I need a referral to get Invisalign?
No. At Lifetime Dental, Dr. Kim can evaluate your needs and provide Invisalign directly, without requiring a separate referral to an outside specialist.
7. What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners, while braces use fixed brackets and wires. Invisalign is nearly invisible and removable for eating and cleaning, while braces are often better suited for more complex corrections. We can help you decide which is right for you.
8. Will my teeth shift back after Invisalign treatment?
Wearing your retainer as directed after treatment is essential to maintaining your results. Teeth can shift back over time without consistent retainer use, which we will review with you at the end of your treatment.
