Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable way to straighten your teeth without the appearance of traditional braces. At Nord Orthodontics, Dr. Scott Nord is a certified Elite Invisalign provider who has successfully treated many patients using this advanced clear aligner system. Invisalign is a popular option for teens and adults who want effective orthodontic results with flexibility and discretion.
A Clear Alternative to Traditional Braces
Many patients want a straighter, healthier smile but prefer to avoid metal brackets and wires. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gently move teeth into alignment while blending seamlessly into your daily routine. Treatment is planned digitally to ensure accuracy, comfort, and predictable results.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners instead of braces. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting teeth into better positions over time. Aligners are typically worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
Completely Invisible
Invisalign aligners cannot be seen while you are wearing them! Friends, family members and co-workers may never even know you are wearing braces, unless of course you tell them!
Comfortable to Wear
The aligners are made from a special plastic that has smooth, rounded edges so they won’t irritate your mouth and tissues like traditional braces often can.
Removable
Unlike traditional metal braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss and for special occasions. There’s no need to change your lifestyle with Invisalign!
Effective
You will begin to notice a significant difference even before your treatment is complete! Most treatments are completed within one year; however this can vary from patient to patient.
Customized just for you
Your Invisalign aligners are customized to fit your mouth. Dr. Nord uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to replicate an exact impression of your mouth and teeth, then he customizes each aligner so that it fits your mouth, and over time moves your teeth into the proper position.
