The invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.

invisalign-logo

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

  • tooth-list-green

    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.

Invisalign® for Teens

Invisalign can be the perfect teeth straightening system to fit within a busy lifestyle. Appointments are conveniently scheduled approximately every two to three months so you won’t be missing out on all those extra-curricular activities. We can even be flexible with students who are off to college! Since Invisalign is a more inconspicuous way to straighten teeth, people are less self-conscious during daily life events such as seniors photos, date night, or important work presentations. It’s also much easier to eat and drink what you want, when you want, and aligners can be removed for important school plays, sports games and even prom night!

Invisalign® FAQs

What is Invisalign? Expand

Invisalign uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners made of special plastic. Each tray is created specifically for you, to move your teeth exactly the way your PDGO orthodontist prescribed.

Does Invisalign hurt? Expand

Most patients only report mild soreness during the first few days of each Invisalign aligner. The rate of tooth movement can be slowed down to just 0.25 millimeters per aligner so your teeth experience the lightest amount of pressure as possible. Since the aligners are made from comfortable plastic, you won’t experience the same abrasiveness as metal brackets and wires.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat with Invisalign? Expand

Nope, none! The aligners are removable so you can take them out to eat popcorn, corn on the cob, and all of your favorite foods!

Is Invisalign as effective as braces? Expand

You can achieve the same result with Invisalign as you can with braces in the majority of cases. While a lot of people think that Invisalign takes longer than braces to straighten teeth, you can actually achieve your optimal smile in the same amount of time, or even less.

How long does Invisalign take? Expand

Every case has unique differences, but at our office the average length of treatment for our Invisalign patients is 9-15 months. You play an important role in staying on track with your timeline - the better you wear your aligners, the quicker your treatment completes.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign? Expand

Most patients can get the same results with Invisalign as braces. Come see us for a complimentary consultation to assess your specific desires and we will tell you whether or not you are a good candidate for Invisalign.

Can I get Invisalign anywhere? Expand

It is important that an orthodontic specialist oversee your tooth movement and we advise caution with DIY aligner companies. Invisalign requires in depth knowledge and an experienced professional's watchful eye.
