Trust Your Smile to a Diamond+ Provider
Your Provider’s Expertise Matters
A general dentist performing Invisalign treatment is not the same as seeing a Board-Certified, Top 1% Orthodontist. Invisalign is simply a tool we use to apply our orthodontic expertise. It is like a pair of shears for a hairstylist. The skill is in the hands, not the tool. If it were, you might trust Dr. Barefoot to cut your hair, but one look at his hair will tell you that is not a good idea!
While any dentist can legally offer Invisalign after a weekend course, orthodontists complete two to three years of specialized training after dental school. Our doctors go beyond the basic Invisalign software, creating dozens of custom refinements for each case to achieve the best possible outcome.
Your final results depend on your doctor’s experience, and at Total Orthodontics, you are in the hands of proven experts. Invisalign® gives special recognition to the top 1% of most experienced doctors in the world using Invisalign. We have been certified by Invisalign® to be in this elite top 1% of providers and we are really proud of it.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into position. You’ll wear each set for about a week before switching to the next, gradually straightening your smile without wires or brackets.
Invisalign aligners are:
Virtually invisible, making treatment discreet and natural-looking.
Custom-fit using precise 3D scans for comfort and accuracy.
Removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally.
Smooth and comfortable, reducing mouth irritation.
Efficient, often completing treatment within 6–12 months.
We use Invisalign®, not an imitation product, for most of our clear aligner treatments.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults who want a modern, flexible alternative to braces. It can treat:
Crowded or spaced teeth
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Mild to moderate alignment issues
During your consultation, our orthodontists will determine if Invisalign is right for you—or if another treatment can achieve your goals faster.

Both Invisalign and braces deliver beautiful results, but many patients prefer the discreet and flexible benefits of Invisalign.

Invisalign Before and After
FAQ
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
Invisalign® treatment time varies depending on your specific case. Most patients complete treatment in about 6 to 18 months. Many begin seeing noticeable improvements within a few short weeks. Your orthodontist will create a custom plan to ensure your teeth move efficiently and comfortably.
How Will the Plastic Invisalign® Aligners Straighten My Teeth?
Invisalign® aligners use gentle, constant pressure to gradually move your teeth into alignment. Each custom-made set is worn for about a week before switching to the next. Over time, these precise adjustments guide your teeth into their ideal position for a straighter, healthier smile.
Will Invisalign Affect My Speech or Eating Habits?
You might notice a slight change in your speech for the first few days as your mouth adjusts to the aligners, but it quickly goes away. Because Invisalign® is removable, you can eat and drink normally. Just brush before putting your aligners back in to keep them clean and clear.
Is Invisalign Painful?
Most patients describe Invisalign® as comfortable and easy to wear. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when starting a new set of aligners, which is a sign that your teeth are moving correctly. The smooth plastic design also helps prevent mouth irritation.
How Do I Clean and Care for My Invisalign Aligners?
Rinse your aligners with cool water each time you remove them. Gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals for a deeper clean. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic, and always store aligners in their case when not in use.
