Invisalign in Vancouver, BC Vancouver’s Top 1% Invisalign Provider, Right Here in Yaletown

Expo Yaletown is home to Dr. Mark Hamanishi, a Diamond+ certified Invisalign provider and one of the most experienced clear aligner specialists in Canada. If you are considering Invisalign in Vancouver, you will not find a higher level of expertise at a general dental clinic. We offer free iTero scans and virtual consultations for new patients.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are:

  • Nearly invisible
  • Removable for eating and brushing
  • Smooth and comfortable
  • Custom-fitted for precision

Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Over time, your teeth move into their ideal position.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Braces?

Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes maintaining good oral hygiene throughout treatment much easier than with fixed braces. Properly aligned teeth also place less stress on your gums, jaw joints, and surrounding bone, reducing long-term wear and the risk of chipping or breakage. For adults and teenagers living busy lives in Vancouver, Invisalign fits seamlessly into daily routines in a way that traditional braces often cannot.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Specialist-Level Care Without the Specialist Referral

Most dental clinics refer complex orthodontic cases out to separate specialist offices. At Expo Yaletown, Dr. Mark Hamanishi treats hundreds of complex cases every year from right here on Expo Boulevard. His Diamond+ status means he is in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in Canada by volume and complexity. You get specialist-level outcomes while staying within your regular dental home.

Your iTero Scan and Treatment Plan, Free of Charge

We use the iTero Element intraoral scanner to take a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in minutes. From there, Dr. Hamanishi uses Invisalign’s AI-powered Outcome Simulator to show you exactly what your smile could look like at the end of treatment before you commit to anything. This scan and consultation are completely free and carry no obligation.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Treatment time varies depending on your case.

Most Invisalign treatments take between 6 and 18 months. Minor corrections may take less time.

During your consultation at our Vancouver dental clinic, we provide a personalized timeline based on your alignment goals.
