Invisalign

Straighten Your Smile

Traditional braces are awkward and often uncomfortable. While an effective treatment, metal wires can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. That’s why we offer Invisalign as an inconspicuous way to straighten your smile.

Invisalign uses clear aligners to fix crooked teeth or gaps in your smile. You can smile with confidence again using Invisalign.

The Benefits of Invisalign

There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign, including:

  • Removable - They can be taken out before meals, allowing you to eat and drink without restrictions.
  • Comfortable - Each pair of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly.
  • Inconspicuous - Clear aligners make them practically invisible, so nobody will notice you’re wearing them.
  • Quick - Invisalign straightens your teeth up to two times faster than traditional braces.

The Invisalign Process

Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a free consultation with one of our doctors. If you decide to go with Invisalign, we’ll use our state-of-the-art technology to we’ll create a series of aligners that are custom-made to match the unique shape of your bite.

After receiving your first pair of aligners, you’ll get your a set every two weeks until your treatment is complete. Your aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. The average treatment time is 12 to 18 months, so your new smile will be ready before you know it.


Invisalign vs. At-Home Aligners

Nowadays, many patients are trying clear aligners that are delivered straight to your door without a visit to the dentist. It may sound easy and convenient, but a lot can go wrong without the supervision of a licensed orthodontist.

At-home aligners can result in devastating effects — it can even damage your bite. This can take a toll on how you eat and speak, costing you time and money to correct the problem. Seeking treatment from a licensed orthodontist ensures safe and effective care.
