At Douglas Family Dentistry, we offer a modern alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal position. Nearly invisible, these aligners let you smile confidently throughout your treatment.

We provide Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults, making it a flexible option for anyone seeking a straighter smile with minimal disruption. Schedule your complimentary consultation to see how Invisalign can work for you.

Why Patients Choose Invisalign®

Nearly Invisible Aligners

One of Invisalign’s biggest advantages is how discreet it is. The clear aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are barely noticeable, making them perfect for patients who want effective treatment without the look of traditional braces.

Comfortable Fit

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-shaped to your teeth, preventing irritation to your cheeks and gums. You can wear them all day comfortably.

Easier Oral Hygiene

Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally. No more worrying about trapped food or cleaning around brackets and wires.

Efficient Treatment

Digital planning maps out your smile journey from start to finish. Many patients achieve results in about 12 months, sometimes sooner, with fewer office visits.

No Food Restrictions

Eat whatever you like—simply remove your aligners before meals and put them back afterward. No broken wires, no emergency adjustments, no limits on your favorite foods.

Optional Whitening While You Straighten

Ask us about professional whitening gel that works with your Invisalign trays. You can brighten and straighten your teeth at the same time for an even more radiant smile.

Step-by-Step Invisalign Process

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.

STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.

STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.
