Orthodontic treatment can improve both the appearance of your smile and the alignment of your bite. Pocahontas Dental Associates offers Invisalign® clear aligners, which gradually reposition teeth without traditional metal braces.

What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner is worn for a specific period before progressing to the next stage of treatment.
Invisalign® may help correct:
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Bite alignment concerns
Improving tooth alignment may also support better oral hygiene alongside Dental Exams & Cleanings.
Benefits of Invisalign®
Clear aligner treatment offers several advantages compared to traditional orthodontics.
Benefits include:
- Nearly invisible aligners
- Removable trays for eating and brushing
- Customized treatment planning
- Gradual, controlled tooth movement
Because aligners are removable, patients can maintain normal oral hygiene routines.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
The Invisalign® process involves several stages designed to ensure accurate tooth movement.
Steps typically include:
- Evaluating tooth alignment and bite
- Creating digital impressions of the teeth
- Designing a series of custom aligners
- Wearing each aligner according to the treatment schedule
Patients may also explore cosmetic options such as Dental Veneers to further enhance smile appearance after orthodontic treatment.
