Straighter Teeth, Without the Hardware
Metal braces work, but for most adults and many teenagers, they are not the most practical or comfortable path to a straighter smile. Invisalign clear aligners offer an alternative that fits around your life rather than demanding you rearrange it.
- No brackets.
- No wires.
- No explaining yourself at a work presentation.
What Can Invisalign® Treat?
Invisalign is effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
During your consultation, Dr. Kocian will evaluate your teeth and let you know whether Invisalign is a strong fit for your situation or whether another approach would serve you better.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign®
Nearly Invisible
The aligners are made from clear, smooth plastic. Most people will not notice you are wearing them unless you tell them.
Removable
You take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Your diet does not change. Your oral hygiene routine does not change.
Comfortable
There are no sharp metal components. The aligners apply steady, gentle pressure to gradually shift your teeth, and adjustments happen by moving to the next set of aligners rather than a tightening appointment.
Predictable Results
Invisalign uses 3D digital planning to map your entire treatment from start to finish before you even begin. You can see where you are headed before the first aligner goes in.
How the Invisalign® Process Works
Consultation
We examine your teeth, take digital impressions, and determine whether Invisalign® is right for you.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your personalized series of aligners is created based on a precise digital treatment plan developed in our office.
Wear and Progress
You wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks, moving through the series as your teeth gradually shift toward their final position. Periodic check-ins allow us to monitor your progress.
Final Result
Most Invisalign® treatments are completed in approximately 12 months, though this varies depending on the complexity of your case.
