INVISALIGN – Baltimore, MD
If you think that having a great smile means wearing metal braces, rubber bands, and wire tightening? Well, think again! Invisalign is a clear, nearly inconspicuous way to straighten your teeth, using plastic trays called aligners. Invisalign is not only practically unnoticeable, but the treatment system is comfortable and convenient, which can match your busy and lifestyle… not to mention, no off-limits foods. Invisalign is perfect for adults who want a beautiful smile without the look of metal braces and teens who want to straighten their teeth to suit their active lifestyle. Are you curious?

WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
Invisalign is a modern and gentle solution to straighten your teeth by using a series of custom-made aligners. These aligners are made of smooth and durable plastic, which gradually straighten your teeth. This means no irritation from metal braces, poky wires, no off-limits foods, and no interference with your lifestyle! Each patient is different, but treatment typically takes 9 to 15 months for most adults. Teens can expect to wear Invisalign as long as they would traditional braces.
Your treatment begins with a digital scan, x-rays, and pictures which Invisalign uses to produce a comprehensive 3D image of your smile and bite. Dr. D will use this 3D image to develop your custom treatment plan, including the estimated duration of your treatment time. Using this 3D image, you’ll even see a virtual representation of your before and after bite before you even start treatment. Cool huh?
After we study your bite (occlusion) in-depth and develop a treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners are created just for you. Your first aligner is a slightly straighter version of your smile starting out. You’ll wear the aligners throughout the day, removing them to eat, brush, and floss. The aligners will completely cover your teeth, and we bet no one will be able to tell you’re wearing them… unless you tell them!
After approximately one to two weeks, you’ll receive a new set of aligners to wear. Each subsequent set is a slightly straighter version of the last set, allowing your teeth to gradually and gently shift into a final, perfect smile. Invisalign treatment plans can include between 10-50 aligners, based on your current smile and bite. You’ll meet with Dr. D approximately every six to twelve weeks to check on your progress with Invisalign. Of course, you can always call us or hop on a virtual check-up if you have any questions in the meantime!

- Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
- Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
- Comfortable: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
- Convenient: Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, since you only need to visit our office every six weeks.

INVISALIGN FOR TEENS
When we think of orthodontic treatment for teens, traditional metal braces almost always come to mind. However, Invisalign can be an excellent option for busy teens who might already feel self-conscious about their teeth.
Fits Your Busy Lives
Because you receive several Invisalign aligners at each appointment, there are fewer appointments required than for traditional braces. On top of that, there are no emergency appointments to handle broken brackets or wires!
Perfect for Active Lifestyles
Because Invisalign aligners are completely smooth and removable, they’re perfect for teens who play sports or certain instruments. Unlike traditional braces, aligners can be temporarily removed for band practice or replaced with a traditional mouthguard for that lacrosse game.
Flexible and Invisible
Let’s be honest, your teen might already be feeling self-conscious about their teeth! Invisalign allows them to straighten their smile without drawing attention to the treatment. Additionally, being able to remove the clear aligners means no off-limit foods. And who really wants to manage their teen’s movie popcorn consumption
Invisalign Price
You might think that Invisalign is more expensive than traditional braces, but that’s typically not the case! Every patient and their custom treatment plan are different, but Invisalign is usually comparable in price to traditional braces and covered by most dental insurance plans.
