Are you struggling with gapped or crooked teeth? Do you want to change the way your smile looks without committing to braces? Invisalign clear aligners can help you get there. These custom-fitted aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment over time while remaining nearly invisible — so you can go about your life without worrying about how your smile looks during treatment.
Invisalign clear aligners are ideal for teenage and adult patients alike. You can work with our orthodontic team in Dunwoody, GA, to determine if Invisalign is the right fit for your smile goals. Browse our full dental services to learn more about what we offer.
Each set of Invisalign clear aligners is uniquely designed for its wearer. There is no generic option you can use to straighten your teeth, fix your bite, or improve your smile’s appearance. Instead, our team will sit down with you and walk through the fitting process, which includes:
Once we have finalized your treatment plan and created your aligners, we will schedule regular check-ins to fit you for new trays as your teeth progress. Those appointments also allow us to make any adjustments needed to stay on track with your smile goals.
Comprehensive airway treatments and family dental services with payment plans that work for your budget.
Dunwoody patients receive attentive care from Dr. Patrice Robbins and Dr. Preston Shurley, who bring genuine compassion and clinical precision to every appointment. Our skilled hygienists, including Deborah, are frequently praised for their gentle touch and thorough care. We are committed to creating a comfortable, welcoming environment where you feel respected and cared for throughout your visit.
Invisalign clear aligners are a good fit for a wide range of patients. Their near-invisible appearance means you can wear them to work and school without any noticeable change to your smile. Their comfort also makes all-day wear manageable for most people.
That said, it is worth discussing the specifics of your oral health, lifestyle, and commitment to the treatment with our team. If all-day aligner wear is not realistic for you, or if you want to explore other options, we can walk you through our full orthodontic and restorative treatment options.
Once you have committed to Invisalign treatment, our team will create your custom aligners and map out a plan to account for the gradual movement of your teeth. You will have opportunities to pick up new trays throughout the process as your smile progresses.
After receiving your first set of aligners, you can expect to schedule dental check-ins every few weeks for the next several months. We will carefully monitor the movement of your teeth to make sure you are on track to reach your smile goals.
Once your teeth are in the position you want, we will discuss post-Invisalign care and methods to preserve your results long term.
Ideally, you will want to wear your Invisalign clear aligners for between 20 and 22 hours per day. However, they are not permanent fixtures in your mouth. You can remove them to eat and drink, and you are free to take them out for special occasions when needed.
You should also remove your aligners to brush your teeth at least twice a day.
If you do not wear your aligners consistently, it may take longer than expected to achieve your desired results. Patients who are concerned about maintaining consistent wear are encouraged to discuss alternative dental services with our team.
Yes — Invisalign clear aligners can serve as an effective alternative to braces for many patients. They gradually reposition teeth over time, allowing the jawbone to adapt to each new alignment.
After completing Invisalign treatment, it is important to use a retention solution — typically a post-treatment retainer — to give the jawbone time to stabilize in its new position. Without it, teeth may begin shifting back toward their previous placement.
Additionally, patients with more complex tooth spacing or jaw structure concerns may need to address those issues with braces first before Invisalign is recommended for continued treatment. You can discuss your specific situation during a consultation with our team in Dunwoody.
Straightening your teeth does not have to mean months of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable path to a healthier, more confident smile — and our Dunwoody team is here to guide you through every step. Whether you are dealing with crowding, gaps, or misalignments, we can help you find the treatment approach that fits your life. We also offer flexible financing options to make care more accessible.
