Straighten Your Smile Without the Metal
Want straighter teeth without the look or feel of traditional braces? At Smile Makers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer Invisalign clear aligners for patients in Fort Worth who want a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to align their smiles.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that uses a series of removable, transparent trays to gradually shift your teeth into place. Whether you’re an adult seeking cosmetic improvement or a teen looking for a braces-free option, Invisalign makes it easy to fit orthodontic care into your lifestyle.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment begins with digital impressions using the iTero scanner, which creates a precise 3D model of your smile. From there:
- A series of custom-made aligners is created for your treatment plan.
- You wear each set for about 1–2 weeks, 20–22 hours a day.
- Aligners gently move teeth into alignment without brackets or wires.
- Check-in visits every 6–8 weeks ensure you’re progressing smoothly.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable—making it easier to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is ideal for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bite and alignment needs to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If you’re not a candidate, we’ll explore alternative cosmetic options like veneers or cosmetic bonding.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Many patients ask how Invisalign compares to metal braces. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible
- Comfort: Smooth plastic trays reduce irritation
- Lifestyle: No food restrictions or difficult cleaning routines
- Office Visits: Fewer adjustment appointments required
- Treatment Time: Comparable for many mild to moderate cases
For those seeking a subtle orthodontic solution that doesn’t disrupt daily life, Invisalign is often the preferred choice—especially for working adults or image-conscious teens.
