Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Invisalign
At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign clear aligners as a comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Perfect for teens and adults alike, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position — without the need for wires or brackets.
This advanced orthodontic solution aligns teeth efficiently while allowing you to maintain your normal lifestyle, including your diet and oral hygiene routine. With our experienced dental team and advanced 3D imaging technology, your treatment is tailored precisely to your smile goals.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan of your mouth using our 3D CT Scanning technology. This scan helps us create a digital roadmap of your treatment. You’ll then receive a series of aligners, each worn for about two weeks, that gradually move your teeth into alignment.
Benefits of Invisalign:
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- No metal brackets or wires
- Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
- Custom-fit aligners for comfort and control
- Ideal for treating mild to moderate alignment and bite issues
Invisalign is especially effective for correcting:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Invisalign offers several advantages over braces:
- Appearance: Clear aligners are nearly invisible
- Comfort: Smooth trays reduce gum and cheek irritation
- Convenience: Removable for meals and hygiene
- Predictability: Digital treatment planning from start to finish
However, complex alignment cases may still benefit from traditional braces. We’ll help you choose the right option based on your goals and clinical needs.
Invisalign and Your Oral Health
Properly aligned teeth do more than just enhance your smile — they make brushing and flossing easier, which reduces your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and TMJ issues.
By straightening your teeth with Invisalign, you're investing in both the aesthetics and long-term health of your smile.
