Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners in Markham, ON

At My Dental Home, we believe a straight smile can transform your confidence and improve your oral health. If you’re looking for a discreet and comfortable way to achieve beautifully aligned teeth, clear aligners in Markham, ON are an ideal choice.

We proudly offer two leading clear aligner systems — Invisalign and ClearCorrect — giving patients of all ages effective, modern alternatives to traditional braces.


What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike metal braces, they are virtually invisible, smooth, and wire-free, offering a more comfortable experience with fewer lifestyle disruptions.

Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before moving to the next in the series. Over time, your teeth gently shift into alignment — revealing a healthier, more confident smile.

Clear aligners can effectively treat:

  • Crowding or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps and spacing
  • Mild to moderate bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)

Invisalign & ClearCorrect

Invisalign

Invisalign is the world’s most recognized clear aligner system, trusted for its advanced SmartTrack® material and precision fit. Using 3D digital scans, Invisalign creates a fully customized treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.

It’s an excellent choice for adults and teens seeking a discreet, comfortable, and highly predictable orthodontic solution.

ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect provides an effective and affordable option for patients who want reliable results without compromise. These aligners are made from durable, stain-resistant plastic and are custom-fitted to your smile.

Ideal for mild to moderate misalignments, ClearCorrect combines practicality, comfort, and value — all while keeping your treatment low-profile and convenient.

What to Expect During Clear Aligner Treatment

Your aligner journey begins with a digital scan — no messy impressions required. Our team uses advanced 3D imaging to design a series of aligners that progressively move your teeth into their ideal position.

You’ll wear each set for 1–2 weeks, with brief checkups every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress.

Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, depending on case complexity and compliance.


Comfort & Care: Managing Mild Soreness

It’s completely normal to feel light pressure when switching to a new set of aligners — this means your teeth are moving as planned.

Mild tenderness typically fades within a few days and can be eased with:

  • Over-the-counter pain relief
  • Cold water rinses
  • Switching to a new aligner before bedtime so your teeth adjust overnight

Aligner treatment is significantly more comfortable than traditional braces — no wires, no irritation, and no emergency visits.


Caring for Your Aligners

To keep your aligners clean and clear:

  • Gently brush trays with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water
  • Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic
  • Always remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water
  • Store aligners in their protective case when not in use to avoid loss or damage

Retainers & Long-Term Smile Protection

Once active treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your beautiful new smile.

Most patients wear retainers nightly to prevent their teeth from shifting back.

At My Dental Home, we’ll design a customized retention plan to keep your results stable and lasting.


If an Aligner Is Lost or Damaged

Accidents happen — but we have you covered.

If an aligner cracks or goes missing:

  1. Keep your previous aligner in place temporarily.
  2. Contact our office immediately for guidance.
  3. Do not skip ahead to the next set without approval.

We’ll provide a replacement or arrange a quick scan to ensure your treatment stays on track.


Our Commitment to Your Success

Every clear aligner treatment at My Dental Home is dentist-supervised. You’ll receive:

  • Consistent progress monitoring
  • Transparent updates throughout treatment
  • Adjustments made at no additional clinical charge if needed

We’re committed to ensuring your treatment is effective, safe, and predictable — every step of the way.


Seamless Care & Portability

Should you relocate or transfer care, we make the process easy.

You’ll receive complete access to your digital scans, progress data, and retention plan, so your treatment can continue seamlessly with another provider.

You remain in full control of your dental records and your smile journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear aligners are a set of custom-made, transparent trays designed to gradually move your teeth into alignment without the use of metal brackets or wires. They are virtually invisible, providing a discreet orthodontic solution. 

Clear aligners work by gently shifting your teeth over time. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series, following a personalized treatment plan. As you progress through each set, your teeth move into their ideal position. 

Yes! Clear aligners are highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues. Your dentist will determine if clear aligners are the right treatment option for you. 

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their treatment in 12-18 months. Your dentist will provide a more specific timeline after assessing your needs. 

While Invisalign is the most widely recognized clear aligner brand, there are other excellent options available, each offering unique benefits. The right aligner brand for you will depend on your specific orthodontic needs, and your dentist will help determine which system works best for your smile. 

Clear aligners are easy to care for. Simply remove them when eating or drinking (except water) and clean them regularly with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Avoid using toothpaste, which can scratch the aligners. 

You may feel mild pressure or tightness for a day or two when switching to a new set—this is normal and means the aligners are working. Most patients find them much more comfortable than braces.

For the best results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.

No—hot or colored drinks can stain or distort your aligners. Remove them before consuming anything other than water, then rinse your mouth before reinserting.

Don’t skip ahead to the next set. Place your previous aligner back in and call us right away. We’ll advise whether a replacement is needed or if you can safely move forward.

Yes. Wearing retainers after treatment prevents your teeth from slowly shifting back. Most patients wear them nightly to maintain long-term results.

Check-ups are typically every 6–8 weeks so we can monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure your aligners are fitting correctly.
