Why clear aligners

A clear, comfortable way to straighten your teeth

Clear aligners use a series of custom, clear trays to move your teeth gradually. As a specialist orthodontist, Dr. Catherine McLeod offers them for a wide range of cases.

Virtually invisible

Most people will not even know you are in treatment. The aligners are clear and discreet.

Comfortable and removable

Smooth trays you take out to eat, brush and floss, so you carry on as normal.

Proven technology

SmartTrack material and SmartForce features are clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement.

Fits your schedule

Aligner changes at home, with in-office visits roughly every six weeks.

Two systems, one specialist

Invisalign and Angel Aligner, under one roof

Not every clear-aligner system suits every case, so Dr. Catherine McLeod offers two. She is a specialist orthodontist, which places her among the most experienced Invisalign clinicians in the region, and she also works with Angel Aligner. Having both means she can recommend the system that genuinely fits your teeth and your budget, rather than fitting you to whichever one is on the shelf.

What to expect

How clear aligner treatment works at Embrace Orthodontics

It starts with a free consultation at our Spring Garden Road practice in central Halifax, where Dr. Catherine McLeod checks whether aligners suit your bite and takes a quick digital iTero scan. From that scan she can often show you a preview of your finished smile before you commit. Your custom aligners are then made, you wear each set for the prescribed time before moving to the next, and you come in for a review roughly every six weeks.

Most aligner treatments run somewhere between six and eighteen months, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Every mouth is different, so Dr. Catherine McLeod gives you an honest estimate rather than a headline figure. The fee is specific to your case too, and you get a clear written quote at your consultation, with interest-free plans from $149 a month. Our page on your investment sets out how payment works.

The thing to know is that clear aligners are only as good as the plan behind them. As a specialist orthodontist, Dr. Catherine McLeod plans and monitors every stage herself, and works to straighten your smile without extractions wherever it is clinically possible.

Good to know

Clear aligner questions

What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom, clear, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into position. Dr. Catherine McLeod offers both Invisalign, where she is among the most experienced clear-aligner clinicians in the region, and Angel Aligner, so she can recommend the system that suits your case.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
Invisalign treats a wide range of issues, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites and underbites. At your consultation Dr. Catherine McLeod will tell you honestly whether clear aligners or braces suit your case best.
Can teenagers use clear aligners?
Yes. Embrace Orthodontics is a certified Invisalign Teen provider. Because the aligners are removable, teens can eat what they like and keep up with their activities without brackets or wires.
How much does Invisalign cost in Halifax?
Your Invisalign fee depends on the complexity of your case and how long treatment takes, so it is confirmed at your free consultation. Embrace Orthodontics offers transparent pricing, interest-free monthly plans from $149, and direct-bills most insurance companies.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most clear aligner treatments take between about six and eighteen months, depending on how much your teeth need to move, and simpler cases finish sooner. At Embrace Orthodontics, Dr. Catherine McLeod gives you a personalized timeline at your free consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
How many hours a day do I wear clear aligners?
For clear aligners to work well they need to be worn about 20 to 22 hours a day, taken out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush. The more consistently you wear them, the smoother your treatment goes, and Dr. Catherine McLeod will talk you through the routine.
