Clear Aligner Therapy

Straight teeth. Nearly invisible.

Feeling confident in your smile means feeling confident in yourself. Invisalign straightens teeth using thin, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment — without the brackets, wires, or years of traditional orthodontics.

Overview

Invisalign Clear Aligners for Straight Teeth.

Many people walk around every day resigned to the idea that their smile is what it is — and that nothing can change it. Invisalign is proof that improving the aesthetic appearance and function of your smile is easier than you thought.

Unlike traditional orthodontic methods, which can take years to complete and involve brackets and wires that can be uncomfortable and unsightly, Invisalign uses thin, removable trays that gradually increase in size until your teeth have achieved proper alignment. The result is straighter teeth, delivered in less time and nearly invisibly.

Is It Right For You?

Invisalign works well for most common cases.

Aligner therapy has advanced considerably. Most orthodontic issues that used to require braces can now be treated with Invisalign. During your consultation, we'll take a digital scan and tell you honestly whether it's the right fit.

Crowding

Teeth that overlap, twist, or don't have enough room to sit in a straight line.

Spacing & Gaps

Visible gaps between teeth, whether cosmetic or caused by tooth loss.

Overbite & Underbite

Mild to moderate bite corrections where the upper and lower teeth don't align correctly.

Crossbite & Open Bite

Cases where the top and bottom teeth meet improperly or don't touch at all.

Orthodontic Relapse

Teeth that have shifted years after braces or a previous aligner treatment.

Cosmetic Alignment

Minor front-tooth corrections often finished in as few as six months with Invisalign Express.

The Process

Four steps from first scan to final smile.

01

Initial Consultation

We begin by evaluating your overall oral health to determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Not every case is a fit, so we're honest with you up front.

02

Diagnostic Exam

Dental X-rays and a digital scan help us map every tooth. From there, we build a treatment plan tailored to the nature and severity of your case.

03

Wear Your Trays

Wear each tray 20–22 hours a day, switching sets on schedule. Less severe cases can be corrected in about six months. More complex cases may take a year or slightly longer.

04

Enjoy Your Result

Once your teeth reach their final position, we finish with a retainer to keep them there. Straight, healthy smile — on your timeline.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

The differences most patients care about.

Both methods can produce excellent results. The right choice depends on your case, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you day to day.

Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?

Many patients are, but Invisalign is not a fit for every case. More severe misalignments or complicating oral-health issues may need a different approach. At your consultation we'll take X-rays and a digital scan, review your situation with you, and give you an honest answer.

How long does treatment take?

The number of trays you'll need depends on the nature and severity of your case. Less severe cases may be corrected in as quickly as six months. More severe cases may take up to a year or slightly longer. You'll have a projected timeline before we begin.

What determines the cost?

Cost depends on the severity of your case, how many aligners are required, length of treatment, and how many visits are needed. If you have dental insurance, your final out-of-pocket is determined by your coverage, co-pay, and annual deductible.

What insurance and financing do you accept?

We're in network with most PPOs and accept all insurance plans. We also offer interest-free financing through Lending Club and CareCredit, and you can join our Dental Serenity Membership Club to simplify payments and save on care. All major credit and debit cards accepted.

Does Invisalign require special care?

The most important thing is wearing your trays the recommended 20–22 hours a day. When you take your trays out to eat or brush, rinse and brush the trays before putting them back in. Beyond that, keep up with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.

What can I do to protect my results?

Brush twice a day and floss regularly — floss picks or interdental brushes work well if traditional floss is a struggle. Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato-based sauces, and rinse with water after sugary drinks. Come in for a professional cleaning and checkup every six months.
