What Is Invisalign™?
Invisalign™ is a system of clear removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into position. Each set of aligners is custom-made for your mouth and worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign™ aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and don't involve any wires or brackets. Most people won't notice you're wearing them.
Invisalign™ in Sidney
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth — no metal wires or brackets required. Dr. Andrews is passionate about not only transforming your smile for esthetics, but for function too.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and far more comfortable than traditional braces for most patients. They're a good fit for a wide range of concerns, from crowding and spacing to bite alignment.
How It Works
Treatment starts with a consultation and digital scan, so you can see your projected results before committing. From there, you'll move through a series of custom aligners, typically swapped out every one to two weeks, with regular check-ins to track your progress.
A Foundation for Your Smile
Getting your alignment right is often the first step before other cosmetic work, like veneers or whitening — straight teeth make any cosmetic treatment on top of it look better and last longer.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Not every case is a fit for clear aligners, and Dr. Andrews will give you an honest assessment of whether Invisalign — or another option — is the better path for your smile. Book a consultation to find out.

frequently asked questions
Do you offer direct billing to insurance?
Yes, we direct bill most major insurance providers, so you typically only pay the portion not covered by your plan.
Do you see emergency dental patients?
We do our best to accommodate urgent dental issues — call our office directly and let us know you're dealing with a dental emergency so we can find you the earliest available appointment.
Is Invisalign a good option for adults?
Yes — Invisalign is popular with adult patients specifically because the clear aligners are far less noticeable than traditional braces, making it easier to wear during work and social settings.
What should I bring to my first appointment as a new patient?
Please bring your dental insurance information and a list of any medications you're currently taking.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment length varies by case, but most patients complete Invisalign in Sidney within 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the alignment needed.
Do you accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Yes, we accept CDCP and offer direct billing for eligible patients, so you won't need to pay upfront and claim it back yourself.
Are you accepting new patients in Sidney?
Yes, we're currently welcoming new patients at our Sidney, BC dental clinic. You can book online or call our office to get started.
Is Invisalign a good option for children/teens?
Invisalign requires that you diligently wear your trays, clean them, and brush your teeth after eating/drinking anything before putting them back in. Children and teens can sometimes find compliance difficult, so it's often better to use traditional braces instead.
