Enjoy the Convenience of Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into their ideal position. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next, and your dentist checks your progress every four to six weeks.

The aligners are simple to remove, so eating, brushing, and flossing are just as easy as they are without braces. Here is what makes Invisalign a popular choice for adult orthodontics:

  • Discreet Appearance - The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won't notice you're in treatment.
  • Comfortable Fit - Smooth plastic aligners won't irritate your cheeks or gums the way metal braces can.
  • Flexible Routine - Remove your aligners at mealtime and during oral hygiene without disrupting your day.
  • Shorter Treatment Time - Most adults complete Invisalign treatment in about 12 months, often faster than traditional braces.

Clear Ceramic Braces Give You the Benefits of Braces With a Discreet Look

Clear ceramic braces work the same way as traditional braces, using brackets and wires to move your teeth into alignment over time.

The difference is in the appearance. The brackets are made from a tooth-colored ceramic material that blends naturally with your smile, so they're less noticeable than metal hardware. Here's what sets clear braces apart:

  • Discreet Look - Tooth-colored brackets blend with your natural smile. Your braces stay in the background throughout treatment.
  • Fixed Progress - Because the brackets stay bonded to your teeth, your alignment improves around the clock without any effort on your part.
  • Can Make Complex Corrections - Clear ceramic braces can handle a wider range of alignment issues than removable aligners.
  • Lasting Results - After treatment, a retainer keeps your newly straightened smile in place.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!

Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Lifestyle Braces

What are adult lifestyle braces? 

Adult lifestyle braces refer to orthodontic options designed with the needs and preferences of adults in mind. Clear ceramic braces and Invisalign aligners are popular choices, offering discreet, comfortable ways to straighten your teeth without the look of traditional metal braces disrupting your appearance or daily routine.

How does Invisalign work? 

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and shift them gradually into their ideal position. You wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next. Regular checkups every four to six weeks let your dentist monitor your progress and keep treatment on track.

What are clear ceramic braces? 

Clear ceramic braces function like traditional braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile instead of metal hardware. They apply consistent pressure to guide your teeth into alignment over time. Because they stay bonded to your teeth throughout treatment, your progress continues without extra effort on your part.

How do I know if Invisalign or clear ceramic braces are right for me? 

The complexity of your orthodontic issues, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences will determine whether you should choose Invisalign or clear ceramic braces. Invisalign works well for mild to moderate cases and suits adults who want a removable option. Clear ceramic braces handle a wider range of issues and work best when a fixed appliance delivers more reliable results for your specific case.

Can adults get braces or Invisalign at any age? 

Adults of any age can pursue orthodontic treatment as long as their teeth and gums are healthy enough to support it. There is no upper age limit for straightening your teeth. A consultation gives your dentist the chance to evaluate your oral health and confirm that your smile is ready for treatment before you begin.
