For a Beautiful Smile and a Healthy Lifestyle
Straightening your teeth isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s an essential part of maintaining good oral health. While it may seem like your crooked teeth don’t pose a problem, misalignment can lead to various dental and health complications. Straight teeth help your bite function correctly, reduce the risk of oral health issues, and can even prevent more serious conditions down the road.
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Food getting stuck between teeth
- Difficulty flossing and cleaning between teeth
- Increased risk of cavities and gum disease
- Greater likelihood of health issues, including heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and stroke, as gum disease is linked to these conditions
Nearly 9 out of 10 people have some degree of tooth misalignment, contributing to problems like:
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to take action. Schedule an appointment for an evaluation to assess your oral health and explore treatment options.
When Is the Right Time to Start?
If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment, it’s never too late to start. Whether your dentist has just recommended it, or you’ve been thinking about it for a while, starting treatment sooner rather than later will help you avoid future complications. Your teeth will continue to shift over time, so the longer you wait, the more difficult and expensive treatment may become.
Treating your misalignment early ensures faster results and fewer adjustments. Additionally, Invisalign treatments are affordable, and we offer flexible payment options to suit most budgets.

What to Expect When You Start Your Treatment
Invisalign is designed to align your teeth gradually, starting with a solid foundation. You’re never too old to benefit from straightening your teeth, and we’ll ensure your smile is perfectly aligned for optimal function and appearance.
Your Treatment Plan
Your journey begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Using Invisalign’s advanced software, we create a customized treatment plan that shows exactly how your teeth will move throughout the process. You can even preview your smile transformation, from the initial stages to the final result. After finalizing the plan, your aligners are custom-made using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art printing technology.
The First Aligners
When your aligners arrive, small attachments may be temporarily bonded to your teeth. These fasteners help the aligners fit securely, ensuring effective treatment. Don’t worry—they’re discreet and removed at the end of your treatment.
Follow-Up Appointments
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, with slight adjustments occurring each time you switch to the next set in the series. You’ll visit our office about every 1-2 months to track your progress and ensure that everything is moving according to plan.

- Gentler: Invisalign aligns your teeth gradually with less pressure and discomfort, offering a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
