The invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.
Invisalign® can give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. It works through a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing so you can smile more during - and after - treatment. Invisalign® has been proven in clinical research in dental and orthodontic practices nationwide.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
- Using digital technology, our Invisalign Certified Orthodontists, create a 3D map of your teeth and design a personalized treatment plan with customized aligners to gradually shape your smile.
- Aligner sets are worn for about 1 week each, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position your PDGO orthodontist has prescribed.
- You'll visit your PDGO orthodontist about once every 8-10 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
- Your visits are quick and easy since there are no brackets or wires to adjust.
- You will enjoy seeing your progress as you go.

Invisalign® Facts
-
Why would I want Invisalign®?
Aligners are both comfortable and convenient. These virtually invisible aligners are removable, therefore allowing you or your child to take them out to eat, drink, brush, or floss. That means you can eat popcorn, corn on the cob, or any other favorites foods that braces wearers have a harder time with! They are also typically more comfortable to wear than traditional braces because there are no metal brackets or poking wires. Because of the lack of adjustments needed by your orthodontist, you will spend less time in your doctor’s office. You will also enjoy seeing your progress as you go.

Is Invisalign® right for me?
Invisalign is a great alternative to braces, and at times, works better and more efficiently, with less appointments, shorter visits, better hygiene, and less life interruptions. Sounds too good to be true, right?! If you were told by someone before that you weren’t a candidate for Invisalign, it may be time to check with us!

What’s the first step in starting Invisalign®?
Typically you would start by getting one of those yucky tasting, goopy gagging impressions, but not at PDGO! We use a state of the art 3D intraoral scanner that takes a video of your teeth and creates a digital map of your bite so our orthodontists can create custom fitted aligners just for you. This allows for a way more pleasant and comfortable experience! If you want, we can even show you a preview of your final smile before you get started!

Invisalign® for Children
Invisalign First: Invisalign for Growing Children
Invisalign First is a great option for some children who need help with overcrowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches. With Invisalign, children can remove their trays when eating, drinking, brushing their teeth, playing sports or musical instruments. Other great benefits include no broken brackets or poking wires, which in turn keeps busy parents from having to make special trips to our office.
