No brackets and wires are used during Invisalign treatment. Clear aligners are used to straighten your smile over time and these clear aligners can be removed. They are made of flexible plastic and as your smile changes, new clear aligners are created. 

Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Dollfus will customize a treatment plan based on the unique movements of your teeth. Using state-of-the-art technology, digital images are taken of your teeth to track their movements so that we can create the custom clear aligners.

Invisalign clear aligners are made with patented SmartTrack material that is nearly invisible to the naked eye. Invisalign clear aligners can be removed for special occasions and can be conveniently removed to eat, brush, and floss your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, there are no brackets or wires that can break.

Children, teens, and adults can use Invisalign! Overbites, underbites, corssbites, and other bite issues can be corrected using Invisalign. Our aligners for children and teens can also let parents know that they are being worn using a discreet blue dot that indicates consistent wear!

Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Dollfus are certified Invisalign providers. During your consultation, digital images will be taken of your teeth to assess what kind of bite issue you may have. Once your treatment plan is in place, clear aligners will be custom made. They are to be worn at least 22 hours a day to gradually shift your teeth. New aligners will be created as your bite shifts into the desired look of your beautiful new smile. 

The difference in cost of Invisalign versus the cost of traditional braces is not far off from each other. Our team at Chesterbrook Dental Associates is here to work with you to help you get the treatment you need. We can also provide you with the information you need to determine if your insurance can cover some of the cost of Invisalign.
