Straighten Smarter with Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and are designed to move them into the desired position over time. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly.

At Dove Family Orthodontics in Kirby, TN, we are proud to be a certified Invisalign® provider, offering both Invisalign® and Invisalign® Teen to help you achieve a beautifully straight smile without the need for traditional metal braces. Whether you’re an adult looking for a discreet option or a parent interested in Invisalign® for your teen, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care with the latest orthodontic technology.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. During treatment, you'll wear each aligner for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through each set of aligners, your teeth slowly move into alignment.

Regular checkups allow us to monitor your progress, and once your treatment is complete, you'll wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. It's a comfortable, discreet, and effective way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces.

What is Invisalign Teen

Invisalign® Teen is a specialized version of the Invisalign® treatment designed specifically for teenagers. It combines the same clear, comfortable aligners with unique features that address the specific needs of growing teen mouths. Invisalign® Teen also includes eruption tabs to accommodate emerging teeth and compliance indicators to ensure teens wear their aligners as prescribed.
