Align Your Smile With Barely Visible Orthodontics
Clear aligners from Invisalign offer the flexibility you need in your busy life. You can remove them for meals, important meetings, or special events. With Dr. Rafferty’s decades of expertise, you know you’re in good hands for comprehensive care. Using advanced 3-D CT scanning technology, he will create a precise Invisalign treatment plan tailored just for you.
Here is what you can expect for treatment:
- Initial Consultation – Dr. Rafferty will examine your teeth to determine if Invisalign is right for you. He will use the CBCT scanner to get a detailed 3-D image of your smile.
- Custom Treatment Plan – Based on the scans, your dentist will design your treatment plan and have a series of custom-made aligners made just for you.
- Fitting Your First Aligners – When your Invisalign aligners arrive, we will ensure they fit comfortably. Our team will also show you how to put them in and share tips on how to care for them.
- Regular Checkups – You’ll visit us every few weeks to monitor progress. You will also pick up your next set of aligners. Our Saturday hours make scheduling easy! For best results, wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Completion – Result times can vary. In some cases, you may finish treatment in as few as six to eight months. More complex cases can take 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will review your specific timing. Once you’ve achieved your desired smile, you’ll receive a retainer to maintain your results.
Throughout your treatment, you’ll appreciate the comfort of our office. We offer blankets and pillows to help you relax during appointments. Plus, our comprehensive approach means we can address any dental needs that arise alongside your orthodontic treatment.
Top Off Your Results With Other Cosmetic Solutions
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you may consider other cosmetic procedures to top off your results. You can:
- Whiten Your Teeth – Your dentist can give you take-home whitening kits. These trays will give you better outcomes than any store-bought products.
- Correct Minor Imperfections – If you have chipped or uneven teeth, tooth bonding can correct minor problems. It typically takes only one appointment.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are an effective orthodontic treatment for a variety of alignment needs. However, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with severe orthodontic issues or specific dental conditions. Additionally, patients who struggle with compliance or commitment to wearing the aligners as directed may not achieve the desired results. During your consultation, we’ll determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment and discuss all options available to you.
Most patients find clear aligners more comfortable than braces. With no metal brackets or wires to rub against your mouth, you’re less likely to experience irritation. Not only that, but they require no periodic tightening of archwires to adjust the fit. When you first switch to a new set of aligners, you may feel pressure. We recommend switching right before bedtime to lessen the chance that the pressure will bother you.
If you don’t have a severe overbite, clear aligners could be an effective orthodontic solution for your malocclusion. Teeth that protrude slightly can be fixed with this clear aligner system, but if your jaw or bite problems are more complicated, you might need conventional braces to correct the alignment of your teeth.
