Why Invisalign?
Invisalign uses nearly invisible aligners to gently shift your teeth into place. You wear them day and night, but you can take them out to eat, brush, or floss. If you want straighter teeth without metal braces, Invisalign is a smart, comfortable option.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
If you’re dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, an overbite, or an underbite, Invisalign may be a great fit. It’s often chosen for cosmetic reasons, but it also improves your bite and overall oral health. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, Invisalign could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What to Expect at Willow Dental Care
We start with a 3D scan of your teeth using advanced iTero technology. This lets us create a treatment plan made just for you. Your aligners are then custom-designed and adjusted throughout your treatment. Each aligner is typically worn for about 1 to 2 weeks before switching to the next one in the series. Most people complete their Invisalign journey in about 6 to 18 months.
You’ll come in for regular check-ins so we can track your progress and make sure everything’s on schedule

Common Conditions Invisalign Can Treat
Invisalign aligners are designed to treat a wide range of alignment and bite issues. These include:
Crowded teeth
When there isn’t enough space in your jaw for teeth to fit properly.
Underbite
When the lower teeth stick out past the upper teeth.
Crossbite
When some upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth.
Gapped teeth
Spaces between teeth that can lead to gum issues or self-consciousness.
Overbite
When the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much.
Open bite
When upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed.

Fun Facts About Invisalign
Who qualifies for Invisalign treatment?
A wide range of individuals can take advantage of this cosmetic procedure. The key factors often hinge on one's ability and willingness to adhere to the prescribed treatment regimen. Consider whether you can commit to wearing the aligners for 22 hours each day.
Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?
Invisalign effectively addresses many common dental issues in teenagers, including underbites, overbites, overcrowding, and gaps. However, some adolescents may struggle to wear their aligners for the recommended duration of 22 hours daily. If this is a concern for your teenager, traditional braces might be a more appropriate option.
