Clear Aligner Therapy

There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. Our office is proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Why Clear Aligner Therapy?

• Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly in mature adults, we may consider longer periods between aligner changes.
• Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
• Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
• Convenient: Clear aligner therapy is ideal for your only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.

The Clear Aligner Therapy Process

Your First Consultation

At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether clear aligner therapy is right for you. We are very selective about cases performed in this office and we may recommend referral to a local orthodontist for your care.

Your Custom Treatment Plan

We will use a scanner such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.

Your Clear Aligners

Your custom-made aligners will be made of strong clear plastic. They are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.

Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.

Your Progress

As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so.

Taking Care of Your New Smile

When your treatment is complete, we will fabricate retainers to maintain your smile and requires you to diligently wear the retainers indefinitely to prevent relapse.
