Most people choose clear aligner treatment (Invisalign® or Angel Aligner) because of the many benefits it offers:

  • 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.
  • Don’t worry, be happy…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 – only about 20 min every 8-12 weeks versus 30-40 min every 4-8 weeks.

Clear Aligner Therapy is a popular way to straighten your teeth as they are easy to use and nearly invisible. Many companies offer clear aligners, however, Invisalign® is the most popular and widely used brand.

  • Dr. Carlson will personalize your Invisalign® or Angel Aligner treatment plan from a digital scan taken in our office.
  • After meticulous planning, he will determine the number of aligners required based on the movements needed to create your ideal smile.
  • Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks depending on daily wear and your specific needs.
  • Visits to have your aligners checked typically range from 8-12 weeks apart.
