Calgary Invisalign

A straighter smile, without the metal

Clear aligners, planned around your real goals

If you have wanted straighter teeth but dreaded the idea of brackets and wires, Invisalign is the discreet, removable way to get there. Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, and most people won’t even notice you are wearing them.
At Rideau Dental on 4th Street, Calgary, Invisalign treatment starts with a real conversation, not a sales pitch. Dr. Janet Kan takes a diagnosis-driven approach focused on stable, functional, and good-looking results. You’ll understand your plan, your timeline, and your cost before you decide anything.

    Discreet by design

    Clear aligners are hard to spot, so you can straighten your teeth through work, photos, and everyday life without feeling self-conscious.

      Made to come out

      Take them out to eat, brush, and floss. There are no food restrictions and no special cleaning around brackets.

      Diagnosis-driven, not one-size-fits-all

      Dr. Kan plans treatment around your bite and long-term stability — not just how things look at the finish line.

      Calm, unhurried care

      If dental visits make you anxious, you are in the right place. Expect plain explanations, gentle care, and a team that treats you like a neighbour.

      Why choose
      Rideau Dental on 4th Street for Invisalign

      One dentist who knows your smile

      This is a small, non-corporate practice. You see Dr. Kan and the same familiar faces every visit, so your Invisalign treatment stays consistent from the first scan to your final result.

      iTero scanning, no goopy impressions

      We use iTero digital scanning to map your teeth and plan each step, which means a more comfortable start and a clearer picture of where you are headed.

      Early-morning appointments

      Beat the rush with early weekday hours, Monday through Thursday — easy to fit aligner check-ins in before work.

      CDCP and private insurance welcome

      We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan and welcome private insurance, and we will give you a clear estimate before treatment begins.

      How Invisalign works at our office

      01

      Complimentary consult and scan. We talk through your goals, then use iTero scanning to see whether Invisalign is the right fit.

      02

      Your custom plan. Dr. Kan maps your treatment and reviews the timeline and cost with you upfront, so there are no surprises.

      03

      Wear and switch your aligners. You will wear each set about 20–22 hours a day and swap to the next as your teeth move, with occasional check-ins to keep things on track.

      04

      Keep your results. Once your teeth are where you want them, a retainer keeps that new smile in place.

      Is Invisalign right for me?

      Invisalign works well for many teens and adults dealing with crowding, gaps, or a bite that has never felt quite right. It is an especially popular choice for adults who want a discreet option that fits a busy, professional life.

      The best way to know for sure is a complimentary consultation, where Dr. Kan takes a diagnosis-driven look at your teeth and bite and gives you an honest answer about whether aligners will get you the result you want.

      Let’s talk fees and insurance

      We keep payment straightforward. As a non-assignment clinic, you pay at your visit and submit to your insurer for reimbursement — and we will walk you through exactly how that works. We accept CDCP and welcome private insurance, cash, and credit, and you will always get a clear estimate before treatment begins.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Is Invisalign right for adults?

      Absolutely. Many adults choose Invisalign for a discreet way to straighten their teeth. Dr. Kan takes a diagnosis-driven approach focused on stable, functional, and aesthetic results — not shortcuts.

      How long does Calgary Invisalign treatment take?

      It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Many cases run roughly 6 to 18 months, and Dr. Kan will give you a realistic timeline at your complimentary consultation after reviewing your iTero scan.

      Does Invisalign hurt?

      Most people feel mild pressure for a day or two when they switch to a new set of aligners — a sign the treatment is working. It is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks.

      How many hours a day do I wear the aligners?

      For the best results, wear them about 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.

      Is Invisalign better than braces?

      Both straighten teeth well. Invisalign is removable and far less noticeable, which most adults prefer, while some complex cases are still better suited to braces. The consultation will tell you which is right for your situation.

      Do you offer a free Invisalign consultation?

      Yes. We offer a complimentary Invisalign consultation so you can explore your options, see whether you are a candidate, and get a clear sense of timeline and cost before committing.

      Will insurance or CDCP help cover Invisalign?

      Coverage varies by plan. We accept CDCP and welcome private insurance, and we will give you a clear estimate and explain your benefits before you start.
