Clear Aligners
Hide your treatment, not your smile
Clear aligners, often referred to as Invisalign®, are an innovative technology designed to straighten teeth and improve your smile in the most inconspicuous way possible! Using advanced 3D computer-imaging to create a digital model of your teeth, Dr. Greg creates a plan for your entire treatment, tooth by tooth, before it even begins. Then, using a series of clear aligners custom-made just for you, we’ll position your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners last for 7-14 days, as directed by Dr. Greg, depending on the tooth movement necessary until your treatment is completed, and your desired smile achieved
With Clear aligners
- Eat whatever you want! That’s right, ZERO dietary restrictions. Just take the aligners out when you eat, brush and then replace them when you are finished.
- Hide your treatment, not your smile! because you can smile in every photo and most people won’t even know your smile is under construction.
- Spend your time how you choose! Invisalign appointments are shorter and less frequent than traditional braces. Expect appointments to only last about 20 min every 8-12 weeks

Are aligners only for adults?
This is a common misconception! Aligners can be beneficial for patients of all ages. Dr. Greg has successfully treated hundreds, if not thousands, of children with aligners and often time they can be more efficient than braces in correct your child's teeth. Not only are aligners cosmetic, they are usually more comfortable and easier for children to keep their teeth clean!

Adult orthodontic treatment offers solutions for misalignment, bite issues, and spacing, improving both appearance and dental health. With options like braces or clear aligners, adults can achieve a straighter smile and reduce the risk of future dental complications. Learn more
How aligners work
Clear aligners work by gradually moving teeth into better alignment through a series of custom-made, removable trays. Each set of aligners is worn one week, applying gentle pressure to shift the teeth toward their desired position. The aligners are designed using advanced 3D technology, ensuring a precise fit and movement plan. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Over time, with regular wear, the teeth are guided into their optimal alignment for a healthier, straighter smile.
