The Invisalign System straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth.
Clearly Different
The Invisalign System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by Dr. Jerry. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, we use advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners - as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually - week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!

To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using the Invisalign System. Invisalign aligners are not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. To see if Invisalign aligners can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, contact us to make an appointment.
Invisalign® Aligners Reviews
4 of the 5 people in our family are patients here. They are flexible on scheduling and offer family discounts for our whole clan.I was/am happy with my invisalign and 2/3 kids have braces. The 4th is getting his space maker out soon.
Fantastic! First, i was warmly greeted by the wonderful Smith staff, including Stephanie, who took the time to understand what I desired with my smile. Then Nora took detailed digital pictures with the latest high tech dental wand for Invisalign (no more gooey impressions like we did years ago!) In addition, (shout out to Nora), she also detected a little tartar build up and was so kind to clean that complimentary—-tooth surface feels much smoother. Thank you! And finally, Dr. Smith is making it all happen because he has the vision, expertise, and specialized orthodontic experience to help close the tiny gaps between my teeth post braces 40 years ago. Dr. Smith measured & measured to the nth detail and made me feel like my smile was the most important!Thank you so much, Smith Smiles!

Frequently Asked Questions
How often must I wear my aligners?
You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You should remove them for eating, drinking and regular oral hygiene.
Are there any restrictions to what I can eat while in treatment?
No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.
Will wearing the aligners affect my speech?
Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.
Is there any discomfort with Invisalign treatment?
There will be some pressure and minor discomfort for a day or two after each initial insertion. This is a sign that your teeth are moving sequentially into their final position.
Can I chew gum?
It is recommended that you remove your aligners prior to chewing gum as the gum will stick to the aligners, but remember you need to wear these aligners a minimum of 22hrs/day.
Can I smoke with the aligners in?
We discourage smoking with aligners as the cigarette smoke will tend to discolor them.
How do I keep my aligners clean?
Brushing them with mouthwash will keep them fresh and clean.
How often do I see an orthodontist while wearing Invisalign aligners?
Regular office visits are every five to six weeks. This will ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
What happens after my treatment is complete? Do I need retainers?
All orthodontic patients are instructed to wear their retainers at night indefinitely. Sleeping with your retainers in at night will ensure a healthy bite and maintain the new position of your teeth.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the misaligned teeth. Treatment time can be shorter than traditional braces, between six and 18 months.
Do Invisalign aligners work for kids?
Yes, if their teeth, including second molars, have grown in completely.
