Aster Dental Centre provides Invisalign consultations in Edmonton for patients who want to discuss clear-aligner treatment. A consultation is needed to assess your bite, tooth movement needs, oral health, and treatment goals.
The dentist reviews your smile and bite, takes records when appropriate, and explains whether clear aligners are suitable. You will also discuss wear expectations, review appointments, and the retention plan after active treatment.
Invisalign works well for most mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowded teeth, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. It is not ideal for severe rotations, significant vertical corrections, or complex skeletal problems that require surgical intervention. Dr. Bhanushali evaluates each case individually during the Invisalign consultation and provides an honest assessment of whether Invisalign, traditional braces, or a hybrid approach is most likely to achieve your goals.
A 3D digital scan of your teeth is taken at the consultation. The scan generates a ClinCheck treatment preview showing the projected movement of your teeth from start to finish. You can review the expected outcome before committing to treatment.
Most Invisalign patients at Aster Dental Centre complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Simpler cases with minor crowding may finish in 6 to 9 months. Progress is checked every 6 to 8 weeks at the clinic, where the dentist confirms tooth movement is tracking as planned and dispenses the next set of aligners.
Compliance is the single biggest factor controlling timeline. Aligners worn the full 20 to 22 hours daily produce predictable results. Patients who wear aligners inconsistently often need refinements at the end of treatment, adding 2 to 4 months. Dr. Bhanushali discusses this clearly at the start so patients understand the commitment.
Invisalign treatment at Aster Dental Centre in Edmonton ranges from $4,500 to $8,000 CAD, depending on the number of aligners required and case complexity. Most dental plans with orthodontic benefits apply that benefit to Invisalign at the same rate as traditional braces. Aster Dental Centre direct-bills all major Canadian insurers.
For patients without orthodontic benefits, 0% financing is available to spread payments across the treatment period. The consultation includes a full cost breakdown. There are no additional charges for mid-treatment refinements when cases stay within the original scope.
Invisalign aligners should be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, and when brushing and flossing. After eating, rinse the aligners under lukewarm water before reinserting. Never use hot water, which can warp the plastic. Clean aligners with clear soap and a soft-bristled brush once daily. Invisalign cleaning crystals are also available and dissolve safely in water.
Because aligners are removed for meals, there are no food restrictions during Invisalign treatment at Aster Dental Centre. This is one of the main reasons patients prefer them over traditional braces. After treatment ends, retainers are required to maintain results.

Yes. Invisalign is suitable for adults of any age and is one of the most popular treatments for working professionals in Edmonton who prefer a discreet option. There is no upper age limit. Adults at Aster Dental Centre typically complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. Teens can also be treated with Invisalign Teen, which includes compliance indicator dots to help monitor wear time.
After completing Invisalign at Aster Dental Centre, retainers are required to maintain your results. Teeth naturally want to drift back toward their original positions, and retainers prevent this. Dr. Bhanushali typically recommends wearing retainers every night indefinitely. Vivera retainers, made from the same scanning technology as Invisalign, are available through the practice.
Invisalign is effective for correcting mild to moderate overbites using mandibular advancement features built into certain aligner series. Severe overbites with a significant skeletal component may require a combined approach with orthodontics and jaw surgery. Dr. Bhanushali will evaluate your bite during the consultation and advise whether Invisalign alone is appropriate or whether a referral to an orthodontist is in your best interest.
Most Invisalign patients at Aster Dental Centre experience mild pressure for 1 to 3 days when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a sign the aligners are working. The discomfort is generally well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief and resolves quickly as teeth adjust to each new position. Unlike metal braces, there are no wires or brackets to cause cuts or irritation.
