Invisalign clear aligners in Leduc
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable trays instead of metal brackets. TLC Family Dental is an Invisalign provider, so you can plan your smile close to home.
Why it matters
Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that gently shift them into place, with no metal brackets or wires. At TLC Family Dental in Leduc, Dr. Lesko maps out your treatment, then you switch to a new tray every week or two. Because the aligners are nearly invisible and removable, most people barely notice you are wearing them.
What Invisalign can help with
Clear aligners treat many of the same alignment and bite concerns as traditional braces.
Crowded teeth
When teeth overlap or twist because there is not enough room, aligners create space and guide them into a straighter, easier-to-clean position.
Gaps and spacing
Aligners can close small gaps between teeth for a more even smile, which also removes spots where food likes to get trapped.
Bite concerns
Many overbite, underbite, and crossbite cases can be improved with aligners, so your teeth meet more comfortably when you chew and speak.
Relapse after braces
If teeth have shifted since you had braces years ago, a short course of aligners can often bring your smile back into line.
A discreet option
Because the trays are clear and removable, aligners suit adults and working professionals who would rather not wear visible metal brackets.

Your clear aligner options
Invisalign for everyday adults
Clear aligners are a popular choice for adults who want straighter teeth without the look of metal braces at work or in photos. The trays are see-through and you remove them to eat and clean your teeth.
That freedom comes with responsibility. Aligners only work when you actually wear them, so adults who keep their trays in for the full day tend to see the smoothest results.
- Nearly invisible in conversation and photos
- Removable for meals, brushing, and flossing
- Suited to crowding, gaps, and many bite concerns
Invisalign for teens
Many teenagers are good candidates for clear aligners, especially those motivated to wear their trays consistently. There are no brackets to break and no wires to poke, which can make life easier through sports, school, and everyday eating.
During your visit, Dr. Lesko will look at how your teen's teeth and jaw are developing and give you an honest read on whether aligners or braces are the better route for them.
- No brackets or wires to break or adjust
- Easier brushing during the teen years
- Dr. Lesko advises if braces suit the case better
Treating crowding, gaps, and bite
Clear aligners handle a wide range of everyday concerns: crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps and spacing, and many overbite, underbite, or crossbite cases. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which can lower your risk of decay and gum problems over time.
Some cases are more complex than aligners can fully correct. If yours is one of them, Dr. Lesko will tell you plainly and walk you through your other options.
- Crowding and rotated teeth
- Gaps and uneven spacing
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite improvement
Retainers to hold your result
Finishing your aligners is not quite the end. Teeth naturally want to drift back over time, so you wear a retainer to lock in the result you worked for. For most people that means wearing it nightly long term.
Dr. Lesko will explain your retainer routine clearly so your straighter smile stays put for years to come.
- Keeps teeth from shifting back
- Custom-fit to your finished smile
- Simple nightly routine for most patients
What to expect, step by step
Your consult
Dr. Lesko examines your teeth and bite, talks through your goals, and confirms whether Invisalign is a good fit for you.
Digital plan
We take scans and photos to design your custom aligner series, so you can see how your smile is expected to change.
Wear your trays
You wear each set of aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to the next set roughly every week or two as your teeth move.
Hold the result
Once your teeth are where you want them, you wear a retainer to keep your new smile stable over the long term.
Comfort & calm
Comfortable, calm care
Clear aligners are one of the gentler ways to straighten teeth, since there are no brackets or wires rubbing against your cheeks. You may feel mild pressure or tightness for a day or two each time you start a new tray, which is a normal sign your teeth are moving.

How long does Invisalign take?
Most Invisalign treatments take several months to around a year and a half, though it varies a lot from person to person. Simple spacing or minor crowding moves faster than complex bite corrections. The biggest factor is you: wearing your aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day keeps treatment on track. Dr. Lesko gives you a realistic timeline after your exam.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally comfortable, with no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth. You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners, which simply means your teeth are shifting. That feeling usually fades quickly. Most patients find the trays far easier to live with than they expected.
How many hours a day do I wear the aligners?
You wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. This is the honest trade-off with Invisalign: it works extremely well, but only if you keep the trays in. Patients who slack off on wear time see slower, less predictable results.
Is Invisalign as good as braces?
For many common cases, clear aligners straighten teeth just as effectively as braces, and you get the bonus of a removable, nearly invisible tray. That said, certain complex bite or rotation problems are still better suited to braces. The only way to know which is right for you is an exam, where Dr. Lesko reviews your teeth and gives you a straight answer.
Can teens get Invisalign in Leduc?
Yes, many teens are good candidates for clear aligners at TLC Family Dental in Leduc. Success depends mostly on commitment, since teens need to wear their trays consistently and keep track of them. Dr. Lesko checks how your teen's teeth and jaw are growing, then recommends aligners or braces based on what will work well for their smile.
What happens after Invisalign treatment ends?
After your last aligner, you move into a retainer to hold your new smile in place. Teeth naturally try to drift back toward their old positions, so most patients wear a retainer nightly over the long term. It is a small, easy habit that protects the time and effort you put into straightening your teeth. Dr. Lesko walks you through the routine.
