Get A Better Smile With Aligners

Achieve Your Dream Smile with Invisalign in Durango

Don't hide your crooked teeth behind closed lips! Invisalign in Durango, CO gives you a discreet way to fix your smile while you go about your normal day. The transparent trays slip over your teeth and gently shift them into place. Nobody will catch on that you're straightening your teeth because the trays are practically invisible.

Take them out whenever you want to eat or drink something, so you won't have to worry about avoiding any foods. Keeping them fresh is easy. Just give them a quick scrub with your toothbrush. Your mouth stays comfortable since there are no metal pieces or sharp edges anywhere.

Invisalign treatment also typically takes less time than other types of orthodontics. You'll notice your teeth moving within weeks, and most treatments wrap up in less than two years.

Straighten Your Teeth Without Changing Your Life

Invisalign aligners blend right into your busy schedule. You keep them in for most of the day and night, only removing them for meals and cleaning your teeth.

You can still bite into apples or eat popcorn without any restrictions. Your smile makeover happens so quietly that even your family might not realize what's going on.

You'll swap out your clear trays for new ones every few weeks as your teeth gradually move. You'll make occasional trips to our office, so your dentist can check your progress. Unlike braces, though, no uncomfortable adjustments are needed.

Treatment time varies, but most people finish in 12 to 24 months.

Build Your Perfect 
Smile Step by Step

Clear aligners work wonderfully by themselves, but you may want to use them as part of a bigger smile makeover.

After your teeth are perfectly aligned, you might decide to brighten them with professional whitening. You can also get porcelain veneers or dental bonding to address any imperfections not resolved through your orthodontic treatment.

Our dental team enjoys creating custom treatment plans that match what you want to achieve. We'll help you figure out the best order for your treatments and spread them out over a timeline that works for you. Your final result will be a stunning smile that boosts your confidence every day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

How does Invisalign look on teeth?
Teens and adults often prefer Invisalign to traditional metal braces because the aligners are clear and nearly impossible to see. People may not even notice you're wearing them unless you point them out, so you'll feel much more confident about your appearance while at school and in social or professional settings. You can also remove your aligners for a short time for photos or special events.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners instead of braces to move your teeth into their proper position. Based on a customized treatment plan created by your dentist, your aligners are made for you at a special lab. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, then move to the next set in the series. You'll make occasional visits to our office for progress checks.
Is Invisalign painful?
Your Invisalign aligners will be comfortable because they don't contain any metal or pointed edges that can irritate sensitive areas in your mouth. Most patients report little or no trouble getting used to the aligners. They will fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into their ideal positions.
