TREATMENT TYPES
Straight Teeth… No Braces!
Invisalign provides a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Custom-made clear aligners gently shift teeth into alignment, offering a discreet and effective orthodontic solution. Enjoy the benefits of a straighter smile without visible braces, thanks to Invisalign’s innovative approach.
Faster than Braces
In many cases, Invisalign can offer a faster treatment timeline compared to traditional braces. This is because Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are changed every few weeks to gradually move teeth into the desired position. The precise and controlled movements facilitated by Invisalign often result in shorter treatment.
Nearly Invisible
Invisalign offers a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. Using custom-made clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth, Invisalign gently shifts them into the desired position. This discreet solution allows you to achieve a straighter smile without braces, providing comfort and confidence throughout your treatment journey.
Better Comfort
Invisalign offers superior comfort compared to traditional braces. The clear aligners are smooth and gentle on the mouth, without any sharp brackets or wires that can cause irritation or discomfort. Additionally, they can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for a more convenient orthodontic solution.

Orthodontic Treatment for the Entire Family
Early Treatment
A common question we hear is “Why are so many 2nd graders in braces these days?” Phase I treatment is not something we recommend to everyone, but when it is indicated, it can make a huge difference in a child’s life (and mouth!). We would much rather see a child too early and just put them in our developmental supervision program than see them too late and have our options limited as to what can be done for them.
A few reasons dentist refer to us at an early age are: cross bites, open bites due to thumb/ finger sucking, large diastemas, severe crowding, missing teeth, and teeth erupting in an irregular manner.
Adolescent Treatment
Drs. King, McCune & Moore recommend monitoring growth and development starting around age seven, but early treatment is not necessary for all patients. Adolescent treatment, begins when the last baby teeth are lost and permanent teeth are erupting. Treatment on adolescents varies case to case. With appliances, braces, or Invisalign, the doctors will be able to align teeth and correct bite. Orthodontic problems do not improve with age, but simply become harder to treat.
Adult Treatment
Orthodontic treatment is not just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common orthodontic questions we are asked!
Who is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligner orthodontic treatment developed by Align Technology, Inc. It offers a popular alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are designed to gradually shift teeth into the desired position over time, providing an effective and discreet solution for achieving a straighter smile. Invisalign treatment is suitable for both adults and teens and is known for its comfort, convenience, and aesthetic appeal.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are nearly invisible plastic shells that are custom-formed to your mouth and seamlessly fit over your teeth. They exert gentle pressure, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. Typically, each aligner is worn for 1 week at a time, at least 22 hours a day, and moves teeth a fraction of a millimeter at a time. If you’re dealing with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, aligner treatments could be the ideal solution you’ve been seeking.
Should I consider braces or clear aligners?
Braces and clear aligners are both effective orthodontic treatments, but they differ in their approach and appearance. Braces consist of metal brackets and wires, while clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them discreet, while braces are more noticeable. The biggest difference is that clear aligners can be removed for important events or to eat or drink. Additionally, braces are typically more suitable for complex issues, while clear aligners are preferred for mild to moderate cases. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences and treatment needs.
How often do I need to wear my clear aligners?
For optimal results, it’s recommended to wear clear aligners for 20-22 hours per day. This ensures consistent pressure on the teeth to facilitate their gradual movement into the desired position. Typically, clear aligner treatment duration spans around 9 to 18 months, varying depending on the complexity of the orthodontic issues being addressed. Adhering closely to the prescribed wearing schedule enhances the effectiveness of the treatment and helps achieve desired outcomes within the estimated timeframe.
Can I play sports or an instrument with clear aligners in?
In most cases, your sports performance should remain unaffected by wearing clear aligners. They are constructed from smooth, low-profile material, clear aligners minimize discomfort and interference during sports activities, ensuring you can continue playing with ease and confidence.
