Straight teeth improve oral health, reduce cavities, gum disease, and premature wear, while enhancing bite function. Crowded teeth are harder to clean and may lead to tooth loss. Many prefer Invisalign® over traditional braces for its comfort, convenience, and aesthetics. Consult our Invisalign® orthodontist to see if it’s right for you!

Discreet appearance
The clear aligners are barely noticeable when worn.
Removable convenience
You can take the aligners out when eating, brushing, flossing, or attending special events.
More comfortable fit
Smooth plastic aligners reduce the irritation that metal brackets and wires can sometimes cause.
Fewer dietary restrictions
Since the aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying the foods you normally eat.
Simpler oral hygiene
Brushing and flossing are easier because there are no brackets or wires in the way.
Predictable treatment planning
Digital treatment mapping allows you to preview how your smile may progress over time.
Custom treatment planning
Your aligners are designed specifically for your smile, with each set gradually moving your teeth into position.
Wearing your aligners
You’ll wear your aligners daily and switch to new trays as instructed during your treatment process.
Initial consultation
Your treatment begins with an examination. We discuss your smile goals and determine whether Invisalign is a suitable option for your needs.
3D iTero® digital scan
Instead of traditional impressions, we use a digital iTero scan to create a detailed 3D image of your teeth.
