Invisalign in Vaudreuil: It all starts with a simple appointment!
The first orthodontic consultation is the most important step in the treatment journey. This is when you decide, with confidence, whether or not to start treatment, when the plan best suited to your situation is established, and when you assess whether or not you get along with the clinic that will accompany you for one to three years.
Here’s what to expect during your first orthodontic consultation, step by step.
What exactly is “Invisalign”?
There are three main reasons why we consult an orthodontist:
- On the dentist’s referral, when he or she observes an alignment or occlusion problem during a routine examination.
- On their own initiative, for aesthetic reasons or to improve their smile.
- Due to a functional problem, such as difficulty chewing, jaw pain, or abnormal tooth wear.
Regardless of the reason, the first consultation always has the same two objectives: to make an accurate diagnosis and to plan the treatment best suited to your situation.
THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGNยฎ TREATMENT
Invisalign aligners are removable. They allow you to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. There are also fewer dietary restrictions with the use of shells. Of course, this treatment is known for its discretion and aesthetics. However, it is necessary to validate with an orthodontist if this treatment is suitable for your needs.
Frequently asked questions
Questions? Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more.
Will I be able to afford orthodontic treatment?
We devote an hour or more to you or your child to examine and explain the orthodontic problems and possible treatment options. Please call us for more information on our consultation fees. If the orthodontist indicates that, for the time being, the situation only requires a periodic monitoring of your childโs dental development, it is good to know that these follow up appointments do not entail any extra fees.
If an orthodontic treatment is needed, the price will vary depending on the needs of the patient and the length of the treatment.
How long should I expect the first consultation to last?
The initial consultation will last about an hour. Your orthodontist will take the time to answer your questions and give you all of the information necessary to make an informed decision.
How often will I need to visit the orthodontist?
Your appointment schedule will depend on your individual treatment plan. The first appointment to install braces generally takes 1 to 2 hours. Most patients come back for adjustments every 4 to 8 weeks. These appointments can take about 20 to 30 minutes each. Sometimes, there are specific situations that require a more frequent verification.
What will happen if I need to postpone an appointment?
If you must postpone an appointment, please call to inform us as soon as possible. Canceling an appointment may delay the progress of your treatment.
Please call us during business hours at 450 218-1892. We will require a 48hrs (2 business days) notification for any appointment modifications/cancellations. Fees may apply if delays are not respected.

Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of orthodontics?
- Improved smile
- Increased self-esteem
- Decreased risk of wounds to protrusive front teeth
- Guided facial growth and development
- Improved effectiveness of teeth brushing when teeth are aligned
- Improved dental occlusion and comfort
- Improved distribution of forces for mastication
- Better outcome for restorative treatment to replace missing or broken teeth when teeth are aligned and dental occlusion is optimal
How long will my orthodontic treatment take?
The length of a treatment depends on the orthodontic problem of each patient and may be influenced by many factors, such as the severity of the problem, the growth rate of the jaws and the collaboration of the patient. In general, the length of a treatment varies between 12 and 36 months. On average, a person wears braces for about 24-30 months. Excellent oral hygiene and assiduous attendance to regular appointments will contribute to keeping the treatment on track.

Broken or lost retainer ?
If you break or lose your retainer, call us immediately so that we can schedule an appointment to repair or redo it as the teeth may move in the meantime.
Can an orthodontic correction be done while a child still has baby teeth?
Yes, certain orthodontic problems are important enough to require early intervention. However, if the patient is not ready for treatment, we will keep an eye on the situation during their growth and development until they are ready to begin.
What is the ideal age for an orthodontic evaluation?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic exam as of age 7. At this age, some permanent teeth are already grown and jaw growth patterns can be analyzed and predictions made for future growth allowing us to properly identify potential orthodontic problems. But, if a developmental problem is suspected, it may be advantageous to consult with an orthodontist earlier in order to monitor your childโs oral development. Certain dental occlusion problems can be intercepted, reduced or even eliminated if they are discovered early.
