Visit Us for a Modern Approach to Orthodontics With Clear Aligners

More adults than ever are pursuing orthodontic treatment. Whether you missed out on braces in your teens or saw your smile shift over time, you’ll love Invisalign treatment. It’s a subtle solution that works with your lifestyle rather than against it. Instead of wires or brackets, you’ll wear a series of clear aligners that gradually reposition your teeth. Invisalign aligners can help correct bite issues and potentially alleviate problems with your temporomandibular joints (TMJs).

If you’re ready for a straighter smile without compromising your routine or appearance, here is what you can expect:

  • Comprehensive Exam – Your dentist will take digital X-rays and examine your bite. We’ll confirm that Invisalign is the right treatment for your needs.
  • Digital Impressions – If you’re a good candidate, a quick digital scan will capture precise images of your teeth. This information is used to design your aligners.
  • Aligner Wear – You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 22 hours per day. You’ll remove them only to eat, brush, and floss.
  • Regular Aligner Changes – About every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. Each aligner shifts your teeth closer to their ideal position.
  • Progress Checkups – You’ll visit the office every six weeks or so for a checkup. Your dentist can monitor your results and make any needed adjustments.
  • Completion Timeline – You can expect to complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. The exact timing depends on your smile goals and realignment needs.

After treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. Regularly wearing your retainer prevents your teeth from shifting back.
