About this transformation

A quick before and after of one patient's front teeth straightened with clear aligners by Dr Sarah Sadek.

Results vary from person to person. At Waterloo we offer AddaSmile and Invisalign aligners, with a free consultation to compare them.

Questions we often hear

How long does it take to straighten front teeth with aligners?

Simple cases can take a matter of months, while others take longer. You will get an estimate after your scan and assessment.

What is a digital scan?

Instead of messy moulds, we take a quick 3D scan of your teeth, which is used to plan your aligners.

Can I whiten my teeth after aligners?

Yes. Many people choose to whiten once treatment is finished, and some aligner packages include a whitening kit.
