Your Coquitlam Invisalign® Provider
At Dr. Matthew S Ng Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our Coquitlam dentists offer traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners as orthodontic treatment options to help straighten your smile.
How Orthodontics Work
Orthodontic treatment aims to straighten teeth for children, teenagers or adults so they look better and work better.
This goal is achieved using braces or clear aligners that put gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position over a period of months or years.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal or ceramic braces have been used for decades to straighten teeth. In recent years, advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that are low-profile, more comfortable, and easier to care for.
How Braces Straighten Teeth
Braces apply continuous pressure to the teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their new positions.
As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time.
Invisalign clear aligners are a convenient option that is removable and low-profile for when you'd prefer no one know that you are straightening your teeth.
Similar in appearance to custom whitening trays, they can be easy to insert. You can even remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss!
