About Orthodontics in Calgary
Yes. Royal Oak Smiles is an Invisalign provider in NW Calgary. Dr. Tanya Khattra offers Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults looking to straighten their teeth discreetly. Treatment typically involves a series of custom-made aligners worn 20 to 22 hours per day, changed every 1 to 2 weeks.
Invisalign treatment at Royal Oak Smiles typically takes 6 to 18 months depending on the complexity of your case. Mild corrections may be completed in as few as 6 months, while more significant alignment issues may take up to 18 months. Dr. Khattra will provide a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Invisalign uses removable clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible and can be taken out to eat and brush. Traditional braces use fixed metal brackets and wires that are more effective for complex bite corrections. Invisalign suits most mild-to-moderate cases; braces are better for complex alignment issues. Dr. Khattra will recommend the best option after examining your teeth.
