Alignment That Makes Better Dentistry Possible

Straightening teeth is not always the end goal — often it is the step that makes the rest of your treatment more conservative. Moving a tooth into its ideal position first can mean removing far less natural enamel later.

Whether you want a simple correction or you are preparing for veneers and restorative work, we plan alignment around your long-term result.

Reasons for Use

1Correction of the bite — sometimes necessary prior to cosmetic treatment.
2Allows your treatment to be as conservative as possible.
3Allows for less tooth structure removal when doing veneers.
4Simply straighten the teeth.

Your Options

We recommend the approach that fits your goals, timeline, and the complexity of the movement needed.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Removable, nearly invisible trays that shift teeth gradually — no brackets or wires, and easy to remove for eating and cleaning.

Conventional Orthodontics

Fixed appliances for cases where precise, complex movement is required to correct the bite.

Pre-Restorative Alignment

Short-course movement used to position teeth before veneers, crowns, or reconstruction — preserving enamel.

Invisalign FAQs

Both. Clear aligners can correct crowding, spacing, and many bite relationships. More complex bite problems may call for conventional orthodontics or a combined approach — we determine that at your evaluation.

Sometimes. If teeth are tipped or crowded, aligning them first means we remove less enamel to place veneers, which is more conservative and helps your restorations last.

Minor movement can finish in a few months; comprehensive cases take longer. You receive an estimated timeline once your records and plan are complete.

The trays are clear and removable, so most people will not notice them. You take them out to eat and to brush and floss normally.
