If you’ve ever dreamed of a straighter smile but weren’t thrilled by the thought of wearing metal braces, there’s good news—Invisalign® clear aligners offer a modern, comfortable, and virtually invisible alternative. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent, or a teen, Invisalign lets you improve your smile discreetly and on your terms.
At Grandville Dental, we’re proud to offer Invisalign to patients looking for a personalized orthodontic experience that delivers great results—without the brackets and wires of traditional orthodontics. Let’s explore how Invisalign works, what to expect, and why more people are choosing clear aligners to transform their smiles.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners to gently move your teeth into their ideal position. These aligners are removable, smooth, and nearly invisible, making them one of the most popular options for adults and teens looking to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces.
Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into alignment. Over time, your smile becomes more even, your bite improves, and your confidence grows.
The Invisalign process is simple and convenient:
1. Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey starts with a consultation at Grandville Dental. We’ll assess your smile, take digital scans of your teeth, and determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Using 3D imaging, we create a custom treatment plan that shows how your teeth will move with each stage of aligners—and what your final smile will look like.
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners made specifically for your mouth. Each set is worn for 20–22 hours a day and replaced every 1–2 weeks.
You’ll visit us every 6–8 weeks to ensure your progress is on track and to receive your next sets of aligners.
After completing treatment, you’ll be fitted with a retainer to keep your smile beautifully straight for years to come.
