someone holding up an invisalign retainerInvisalign uses a unique method to straighten your teeth. Traditional metal braces are not removable and can be challenging to keep clean. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses custom-made aligners created just for you. The comfortable aligner trays come in a set that are smooth and almost invisible. When you wear the aligner trays, they gently shift your teeth into place over time.  There are no metal wires or brackets to deal with or wires to adjust.

Dental veneers are also known as porcelain veneers.  They are thin custom-made porcelain shells that fit directly on top of your existing teeth.  The porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth to change their colour, shape, size, or length.  They can be made with porcelain or composite resin.  Veneers made with porcelain will help to resist stains better than veneers made of composite resin.  Another benefit of porcelain veneers is that they mimic lighting reflections closely to natural teeth.  The advantage of composite resin veneers is that they require less natural tooth material to be removed so that they can be fitted.  Your dentist can explain the different options with you.
