Whoever says braces are just for teens has probably never heard of Invisalign. Invisalign is an ideal solution for adults wishing to improve their smile without altering their daily lifestyle. Maybe you feel like you’ve missed your opportunity for braces. Or, maybe since childhood orthodontics, your teeth have shifted.  Don’t let apprehension deter you from having a stunning smile any longer.

Like traditional metal braces, common orthodontic issues including spacing, underbite, crowding, overbite and malocclusion can be successfully treated with Invisalign treatment.  Using a serious of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign straightens teeth to their designed position over time. Invisalign treatment is clear and virtually indistinguishable—which means no one will know you are receiving treatment!

Benefits of Invisalign compared to traditional metal braces

It’s Clear
One of the greatest advantages of Invisalign is that hardly anyone will notice you are wearing braces.  The transparent aligners offer an invisible alternative to metal braces, giving patients the confidence they need to receive treatment.

It’s Convenient
Invisalign aligners are removable, and this is a major benefit for active adults who wish to straighten their teeth without impacting their day-to-day responsibilities. Important meeting at work? No problem. Simply remove the aligners as needed so that you can carry on with your normal schedule. As long as your wear the aligners for the required number of hours every day, you have the flexibility to remove them as needed.  You can also maintain better oral hygiene with removable aligners, allowing you to eat, drink, brush and floss conveniently.  

It’s Comfortable
Unlike hard, metal braces, which can irritate your gums, Invisalign is made from soft, smooth plastic materials. They simply slide over your teeth, comfortably fitting your unique bite, and won’t rub against your lips or gums.

It Works
Invisalign works as proven by the nearly 2 million people who are now smiling with confidence. Although traditional braces may be a better solution for patients with complex malocclusions, Invisalign offers the same, beautiful results—and often times treatment is even faster!

A healthy, beautiful smile can improve self-esteem, no matter your age.   At Grove, our team of orthodontists is specially trained to transform crooked smiles with Invisalign.

Many people pursue orthodontic treatment for one simple reason: to attain a beautiful, straight smile.  A more attractive smile is a great motivator for undergoing treatment, but beyond the cosmetic advantages, there are also many important, long-lasting health benefits of straight teeth. 

In addition to enhancing esthetics, a straight smile improves dental function, helping you chew, bite and speak more effectively.  With proper alignment, balanced forces on your teeth can reduce the incidence of damaging dental habits such as grinding or clenching.

Crooked, crowded teeth are also difficult to floss and brush. As a result, plaque can easily accumulate between teeth and along the gum line, leading to a higher risk of cavities and periodontal disease. Since straight teeth are easier to clean, the gum tissue will have less plaque and debris that cause inflammation, decay and gum problems.

Ready to look and feel your very best?  Grove has an entire orthodontic department dedicated to straightening smiles.  Children and adults can enjoy the many health and esthetic benefits of straight teeth with the help of Grove’s orthodontic treatments such as braces and Invisalign.  Come in for a no charge consultation and learn more about the options available.

How to Straighten Your Teeth without Metal Braces

Did you know it's possible to have beautifully straight teeth, without wearing unsightly metal braces? Straightening a smile isn't just an option for teens anymore. Adults can achieve a straighter smile too! Through our Orthodontic department at Grove Dental, we offer Invisalign® invisible braces and Invisalign® Teen, a process that uses a set of clear, removable custom-made aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets.

Using the artistry and expertise of our Orthodontic specialists along with advanced 3D computer technology, the Invisalign® aligners are custom-designed to perfectly fit your teeth. Every few weeks new aligners are used to gradually and comfortably shift the teeth to their desired position. Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked, have spaces between them or have shifted since wearing braces, you'll have a reason to smile at the end of your Invisalign® treatment.

Your Teeth will Change. The Rest of Your Life Doesn't Have To.
For patients eager to achieve a straighter smile, but don't want to wear bulky, wire braces, Invisalign® is the perfect solution.

Invisalign® is INVISIBLE
Invisalign® aligners are transparent and less noticeable than bulky, wire braces. From prom and graduation to work meetings and presentations, you'll never feel embarrassed to smile with Invisalign®.

Invisalign® is REMOVABLE
Not only are Invisalign® aligners clear, they are also removable which gives you the flexibility to remove the aligners for a special occasion, a night out, or to eat dinner -- as long as they are worn for the required number of hours each day. Because the aligners are removable, you can also brush and floss more easily than with metal braces.

Invisalign® is COMFORTABLE
Unlike hard, metal braces which can irritate your gums, Invisalign® aligners are made of soft plastic materials that are comfortable to wear. With Invisalign®, the risk of cutting or injuring the inside of your mouth is less likely.

Invisalign® is HEALTHY.
Wire braces make reaching the entire tooth and gum with your toothbrush and floss a challenging task. With Invisalign®, you can remove your aligners to brush and floss normally, reducing your chance of tooth decay and gum disease.

Invisalign® has proven to be an effective and popular teeth straightening solution for patients of every age. Ready to get the smile you've always dreamed of without wearing traditional metal braces? Grove orthodontists can tackle your crooked teeth, faster and more comfortably than you may think!
