Combien de rendez-vous sont nécessaires pour un traitement par aligneurs chez Transforme ?

Thanks to Transforme Orthodontie’s Scanbox continuous care technology, the number of clinic visits is reduced. Adjustment appointments are typically scheduled every 6 to 12 weeks, depending on each patient’s progress, which is assessed remotely.

Est-ce que Transforme Orthodontie pose des broches métalliques ?

No. Transforme Orthodontie specializes exclusively in clear aligner treatments—Invisalign® and ClearCorrect®. We do not fit traditional metal braces.

Comment se déroule la première consultation chez Transforme Orthodontie ?

The initial consultation includes a 3D digital scan using iTero technology. You’ll immediately see a simulation of your future smile. Dr. Altalibi will evaluate your case and present personalized treatment options during that same visit.

Quelle est la différence entre un orthodontiste et un dentiste général pour les aligneurs ?

A specialist orthodontist like Dr. Altalibi (FRCD(C)) has completed 2 to 3 years of specialized residency training following his DMD, focusing exclusively on tooth movement and malocclusions. A general dentist may offer aligners, but without this specialized training in complex orthodontic planning.

Les traitements de Transforme Orthodontie sont-ils admissibles au RCSD (CDCP) ?

Qu'est-ce qu'un orthodontiste ?

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed an additional 2 to 3 years of university training following the completion of their DMD degree. They specialize in the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misalignments of the teeth and jaws (malocclusions). They are experts in fixed braces and clear aligners.

À quel âge faire évaluer son enfant par un orthodontiste ?

The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation around the age of 8. By this age, the permanent incisors and first permanent molars have usually erupted, allowing the orthodontist to assess any malocclusion and plan treatment if necessary.

Quelle est la durée d'un traitement par aligneurs transparents ?

The duration varies depending on the specific case, as assessed by Dr. Altalibi during the consultation. The treatment typically takes between 9 and 36 months. Some straightforward cases can be treated in less than a year. The exact duration is determined during the initial consultation.

Orthodontics for Adults: Balancing Work and Clear Aligners

June 18

Written by Kevin Chin

Orthodontic treatment is often associated with adolescence. However, these days, a growing number of adults in Montreal and on the South Shore are choosing to correct the alignment of their teeth. The demands of professional and social life are prompting people to seek solutions that blend discreetly into their busy daily lives.

Here's how removable aligners meet the specific needs of today's professionals.

Complete discretion in the workplace

For professionals who are constantly attending meetings, giving presentations, or interacting with the public, appearance is a major consideration. Made of medical-grade plastic, the aligners are virtually invisible. They allow you to carry out your professional activities in Côte-des-Neiges or St-Hubert without affecting your speech or compromising your professional image.

Flexibility tailored to busy schedules

The pace of modern life leaves little room for frequent appointments. Our clinical approach relies on virtual follow-up, which transforms time management for our patients:

Fewer in-person visits: Regular checkups are conducted primarily remotely, which significantly reduces the number of required trips to the clinic.
Ideal for the South Shore: For residents of St-Hubert, Longueuil, or Brossard, this technology makes it possible to move forward with treatment without having to plan complicated trips or deal with traffic on the bridges to Montreal.

No dietary or social restrictions

Unlike traditional fixed braces, aligners can be removed for meals. This means you can continue to attend business dinners, corporate events, or family dinners without any dietary restrictions. Oral hygiene is also quick and easy: just brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in.

A simple and accessible interview at the office

Incorporating this care into your daily routine takes just a few minutes a day. To keep your devices clean and prevent scratches on the plastic, all it takes are a few simple good habits:

The soft-bristled toothbrush: Gently brushing the inside and outside of your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water helps remove plaque every day without causing micro-scratches on the plastic.
Cleaning crystals and denture tablets: To eliminate bacteria and prevent stubborn odors, you can soak your aligners in lukewarm water with special cleaning crystals or a denture cleaning tablet while you eat.

Local Expertise

Whether you live near Montreal’s hospital and university centers or in the St-Hubert area, our clinic is dedicated exclusively to this modern method. We also welcome patients eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for evaluation and planning of their orthodontic treatment with aligners.
