The Clear Alternative to Braces
The Invisalign Teen system straightens your teeth with custom-made clear aligners that are comfortable and practically invisible. It was developed with leading orthodontists and it works!
One million patients worldwide have made Invisalign their clear choice. So many good reasons to smile!
Designed to Fit in Your Life
Invisalign effectively straightens teeth. It’s designed to custom-fit your teeth and goes with your lifestyle.
Do What You Do
Since Invisalign aligners are comfortable and smooth, it’s easy for you to keep doing the things you want — football, soccer, field hockey and basketball. Invisalign won’t interrupt your life.
Smile…Often!
Invisalign is practically invisible. Most likely, the only way people will know about your treatment is if you tell them. So go out with your friends, take those selfies, and smile confidently!
Chow down…Brush…Floss
Because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally. Plus you can eat whatever you want – crunchy vegetables, popcorn and chewing gum! That’s right, no forbidden foods.
Comfort
Because Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic and move your teeth in small increments, you don’t have the pain that’s often associated with tightening braces. Plus there are no metal wires or brackets to poke your mouth and gums. Relief!
Health benefits
Straight teeth look great but straight teeth also give you a healthy smile. Here are some of the health benefits of orthodontic treatment, which you can get with an Invisalign smile:
Self-confidence – After your Invisalign treatment, you may find your self-confidence boosted by your new smile and the change in your appearance. Some people even feel that way during treatment. As you know, smiling has many benefits. It can help you make a strong impression in lots of different social situations – at school, at work, or at a party.
Healthier gums – When your teeth are crowded or too widely spaced, you can get swollen gums and redness – signs of periodontal disease. All of that can make you less likely to smile, even when you want to make a good impression, like in photos or at an interview. Clinical studies show that when teeth are straight, the gums fit tighter around the teeth, which can lead to better periodontal health. Your gum health may improve after your Invisalign treatment.
Less stress on joints – Misaligned teeth can cause painful stress on supporting bone and jaw joints, as well as cause abnormal wear on your teeth, which can lead to even more problems. The good news is that Invisalign can help solve those problems by properly aligning your teeth.

Being a part of someone’s orthodontic journey is a dream come true and a position not taken lightly at Shoreline Orthodontics. My own personal orthodontic journey was both fascinating and inspiring and I wish to be able to impart the same experience to the patients here. Meet Dr. Kosmowski
Dr. Megan McFadden
I really had fun going to the orthodontist when I was in braces. Everyone in the office was happy and enjoyed their work. This and the fact that my father was an oral surgeon inspired me to become a dentist and eventually an orthodontist. I like solving puzzles, thinking, planning and organizing all of which I am able to do as an orthodontist. More importantly, I enjoy getting to know people and making them smile. Meet Dr. McFadden
Dr. Paul Helpard
I really care about the people who trust their teeth to me. When you come to Shoreline Orthodontics for treatment you are more than a patient, you are part of the family. Your relationship with everyone at Shoreline will extend beyond the office and beyond your time in treatment. Meet Dr. Helpard
Dr. Erin Eyer
I have always wanted to be an orthodontist. While visiting my family home a few years ago, my husband came across an old school project of mine from grade three. In it, we were asked to describe what we wanted to do when we grew up. My answer was “I want to be an orthodontist because I like to make people smile”. Years have gone by and it turns out my answer is still the same. What I have learned now is that what we do at Shoreline is so much more than making people smile – it is helping people find their confidence – and that lasts a lifetime. Meet Dr. Eyer

Embarking on my orthodontic journey at the age of 12, I vividly recall the braces and elastics that transformed my smile. The friendly and engaging atmosphere during my regular appointments left an indelible impression. Witnessing the positive impact my new smile had on my confidence, I knew that dentistry was my calling. Meet Dr. Sigouin
