Whether you're exploring clear aligners for the first time or revisiting a smile you’ve always wanted to improve, we deliver an experience that’s modern, human, and centered on results — without the stress of insurance or impersonal clinics.

As your general dentist, we stay involved every step of the way — ensuring your smile’s alignment supports your overall dental health, function, and long-term wellbeing.

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth, jaws, and bite relationships.
Straight teeth do more than just look good — they improve chewing function, support better speech, reduce wear and tear on enamel, and make daily hygiene easier. Orthodontic care is often the foundation for long-term dental health.
At Pelican Dental Care, we approach orthodontics as part of a whole-person philosophy. That means your alignment isn’t viewed in isolation — it’s considered in relation to your bite, facial structure, airway health, and your broader oral health goals.

Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Not all orthodontic treatments are the same — and not all are right for every patient. Understanding the difference helps you make an informed, confident decision about your smile.

Here’s a quick comparison:

  Traditional Braces Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®)
Appearance Metal brackets and wires Nearly invisible plastic trays
Removable No Yes — remove for eating, brushing, and photos
Comfort Can irritate cheeks and gums Smooth and custom-fit for daily comfort
Hygiene Brushing and flossing around brackets is difficult Easy to clean teeth normally
Best for Severe or complex cases Mild to moderate corrections (crowding, spacing)
Requires Adjustments Yes — regular wire tightening appointments No wires — just new aligner trays every few weeks

At Pelican Dental Care, we focus exclusively on Invisalign® clear aligner therapy because it’s the most proven, trusted system available — and best aligns with our approach to patient comfort, aesthetics, and long-term oral health. If a case requires more advanced or traditional orthodontic techniques, we’ll help coordinate care with a specialist we know and trust — and stay involved every step of the way.

Invisalign: The Clear Choice

Discreet. Comfortable. Proven.

Why We Use Invisalign

There are dozens of clear aligner brands available today, but Invisalign remains the gold standard for a reason.

We exclusively use Invisalign because:

  • It’s backed by over 15 million successful cases worldwide
  • It’s the most precise system on the market — powered by advanced digital scanning and AI-based movement prediction
  • It offers superior comfort and control, with SmartTrack® material designed for predictable results
  • It gives us full clinical oversight — unlike mail-order alternatives that leave patients on their own

As your general dentist, we’re committed to only offering treatments that meet the highest clinical and patient-care standards. Invisalign is the system we trust to deliver real results, with real safety, under our supervision.
