Straighter teeth, without the metal

Invisalign uses a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners to move your teeth gradually into place. Most adults and teens finish in 5 to 24 months, with fewer appointments and far less hassle than braces.

About Invisalign & braces

Orthodontics corrects how your teeth and jaws line up. Straight teeth are easier to clean, wear more evenly and, of course, look great. We offer Invisalign clear aligners as well as traditional braces and palatal expanders for children whose upper jaw is too narrow.

Treatment starts with a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your teeth (no messy impressions). From that scan we plan every stage of movement and show you a simulation of your finished smile before you commit.

Why patients choose this treatment

  • Nearly invisible aligners nobody needs to notice
  • Removable for eating, brushing and special occasions
  • 3D digital scan and preview of your result
  • Typically 5 to 24 months of treatment
  • Invisalign payment packages to spread the cost

Common concerns

Am I too old for straightening?

No. Many of our Invisalign patients are adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Healthy teeth and gums can be moved at any age.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You may feel gentle pressure for a day or two when you switch to a new aligner. That is the aligner doing its job, and it fades quickly.
