A Straighter Smile Starts Here

Invisalign clear aligners can straighten your smile without the hassle and appearance of metal brackets and wires. We focus on bringing your teeth into proper alignment not only for your self-confidence, but to improve occlusion and your overall oral health. A straighter smile is easier to keep clean and can help you prevent other dental issues as you age.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Consultation

First, you’ll meet with one of our doctors to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If you are, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth with our iTero scanner to create your first set of aligners. The aligners are made with a clear, smooth plastic for optimal comfort and durability.

Aligner Visits

You’ll come see us every 6-8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and fit you for your next set of aligners. You wear a series of aligners for a period of time before switching to a new one to gradually straighten your teeth and bring your smile into proper alignment.

Maintenance

Maintaining the results of your Invisalign treatments is just as important as the treatments themselves! We’ll create a custom set of retainers for you so you can maintain your progress and enjoy your straight new smile for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take my aligners out to eat/drink?

How long do I have to wear Invisalign aligners?

That answer depends on your individual dental goals and needs, but on average, most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12-18 months.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign Clear Aligners can be used to correct a variety of mild to moderate misalignment issues, from bite correction to spacing issues and more.
