Invisalign©
Invisalign© is a system of custom made clear aligners that are worn over the teeth to gradually move teeth into their desired position. They’re a “virtually invisible” alternative to traditional braces, and are just right for people who don’t want to draw attention to their treatment.
Here’s a brief breakdown of the process for Invisalign© treatment at Deer Park Dental:
Step 1: No charge consultation
Step 2: iTero scan of mouth and teeth/gums + x-rays/photos
**iTero scan is a digital scan of the mouth that allows the creation of 3-D models of a patient’s teeth and gums for treatment planning
Step 3: Creation and presentation of customized treatment plan by dentist
Step 4: Aligner fabrication
Step 5: Wear aligners for 20-22 hours a day for the duration of the treatment
**treatment time frame varies on a case by case basis depending on need (generally 6-18 months)

INVISALIGN - FAQs
How much does Invisalign cost in Toronto?
Typically $3000-$10000 depending on the length of the treatment and complexity of the case. At Deer Park Dental we offer comprehensive Invisalign packages from $3000-$6500.
Does insurance cover Invisalign in Toronto?
Private Insurance coverage for Invisalign varies from 50%-100% coverage depending on plan and carrier. Some plans have a one-time maximum benefit for each individual under the plan ($1000-$3000). Contact us our front desk team to inquire about your coverage limits.
Does the CDCP cover Invisalign?
Currently the CDCP does not include Invisalign in its coverage.
How long does Invisalign take?
Depending on case complexity, treatment generally ranges from 3-24 months.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces, though you will likely feel some temporary discomfort—usually a mild pressure or soreness when you start a new set of aligners.
How many hours a day do I have to wear the aligner trays?
You’re required to wear the aligner trays for 20-22 hours a day, but closer to 22 hours for the best results. Wearing them less than 22 hours a day may lengthen your treatment time, potentially by months.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes, but only after you remove the aligners. The aligners themselves are not designed to withstand chewing, so eating while wearing them can cause damage and lead to other problems.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Yes, Invisalign can affect your speech—but the change is usually mild and temporary. Most people notice a slight lisp or difficulty with certain sounds in the first few days or weeks, and their speech returns to normal as their tongue adapts.
Where can I get my Invisalign done in Toronto?
We offer full comprehensive Invisalign packages at Deer Park Dental. Dr. Wong is a “Gold-Tier” provider, a recognition that less than 10% of Invisalign doctors attain.
