Reveal aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating, and often more comfortable than competing systems. Patients from Scarborough choose Reveal for discreet, predictable orthodontic results. Schedule your aligner consultation or call (416) 297-6109.
Reveal® is an orthodontic treatment that involves a series of clear plastic aligners designed to fit over the teeth. These aligners work to gently shift the teeth to their proper positions, and are conveniently removable for eating and brushing your teeth, much like retainers. Typically, each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before moving onto the next, with progress monitored periodically by a dentist or orthodontist to ensure that teeth are moving as they should be.
Reveal® is the ideal solution for anyone seeking a comfortable and discreet orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces that rely on wires and brackets, Reveal®’s® removable aligners are much more comfortable to wear, allowing patients to eat, drink, and maintain their oral hygiene routines with ease. Additionally, Reveal®’s® clear and transparent material is perfect for those who don’t want to draw attention to their orthodontic treatment. With Reveal®, there is no need for frequent adjustments or tightening, and fewer trips to the dentist are required compared to traditional braces. Finally, Reveal®’s® effects are often noticeable in a shorter period than traditional braces, allowing patients to achieve the smile they desire more quickly.
Smooth plastic surfaces offer a comfort level to the tongue and cheeks unequaled by other forms of straightening.
Gradual pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less stress and shortened treatment times, in many cases.
We dispense several sets of aligners at once, allowing you to change to a new one at home every two weeks.
No more getting food caught in your braces. Easily brush and floss your teeth for better oral hygiene.
Initial Consultation
During your first appointment, your dentist will evaluate your mouth and discuss your cosmetic dentistry goals. If Reveal® is a viable option for you, the dentist will explain the treatment process and the estimated length of treatment. If it isn’t, your dentist will discuss other options with you.
Molding Process
Next, your dentist will take digital scans, photographs, and x-rays to create a precise model of your teeth. This model is sent to the Reveal® laboratory to make your custom aligner trays.
Fitting the First Tray
When your trays are ready, your dentist will fit the first one to your teeth. Small, clear attachments may also be placed on your teeth to help the trays stay in place. Your dentist will check the fit of your aligner trays and explain your aftercare program.
Follow-Up Appointments
You’ll need to return periodically to check on your progress, but you won’t need to see the dentist each time you switch to a new aligner tray. If your treatment isn’t progressing as planned, you may need to have a new digital scan taken to order an additional set of aligners.

Here is exactly what happens at your appointment at Finch Midland Dental. Knowing each step makes the experience far less intimidating — and lets you relax knowing what comes next.
Here is how Reveal Clear Aligners compares to the main alternatives. our team reviews all options with every patient at Finch Midland Dental so you make the best-informed decision for your situation.
| Feature | Reveal Aligners | Metal Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Nearly invisible | Clearly visible |
| Removable | Yes, for eating and brushing | No |
| Diet restrictions | None (remove to eat) | Many (no sticky/hard foods) |
| Cleaning | Normal brush and floss | Special tools needed |
| Office visits | Every 6–8 weeks | Every 4 weeks |
| Best for | Mild to moderate cases | All cases including severe |
These are the questions patients at Finch Midland Dental ask most often before committing to treatment. our team addresses each one honestly at your consultation.
"Clear aligners are only for minor cases"
Reveal handles mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues effectively. For severe cases, traditional braces may still be the better tool — and our team will tell you honestly which system suits your case.
"Will people notice I'm wearing them?"
Reveal aligners are nearly invisible, and most people won't notice unless they're looking closely. Speech usually adapts within a day or two.
"Are they painful?"
You'll feel pressure when a new set of aligners is inserted — that's the tooth movement in action. Most patients describe it as 'tight' for the first day or two, then comfortable.
Every procedure has tradeoffs, and transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. our team reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins.
Reveal aligners offer a refined, almost invisible clear aligner experience that adult patients at Finch Midland Dental really appreciate — especially those who cannot or do not want to wear traditional braces. The clarity of the material and the comfortable fit make daily wear much easier.
Every case is carefully evaluated before recommending clear aligners. They work best for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. For more complex cases, traditional braces may still be the better tool — and that conversation is always upfront with patients.
