About Invisalign
If you’re looking for a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign offers a modern alternative to traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into proper alignment — without brackets or wires.
At Orthodontic Associates, our board-certified orthodontists use advanced digital technology to design precise, personalized Invisalign treatment plans for teens and adults across Mustang, Oklahoma City, and Edmond.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of smooth, removable aligners that are custom-designed to fit your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next stage in the series.
Over time, these small, controlled movements gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
Your Invisalign journey begins with a digital scan using our iTero 3D scanner — no messy impressions required. This scan allows us to map out your treatment plan with exceptional accuracy. In many cases, you’ll even be able to preview a simulation of your expected results before treatment begins.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is highly effective for many common orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
During your complimentary consultation, we will determine whether Invisalign is the right option for your specific needs. For more complex cases, braces may sometimes provide better control — and we will always recommend the treatment that delivers the healthiest, most stable results.
Benefits of Invisalign
Nearly Invisible Appearance
The clear aligners are made from transparent, medical-grade material that fits snugly over your teeth. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Removable Convenience
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing. This means:
- No food restrictions
- Easier oral hygiene
- Greater flexibility for social and professional situations
Comfortable Design
Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-trimmed to your gumline, reducing irritation often associated with brackets and wires.
Fewer Office Visits
With advanced treatment planning and Virtual Monitoring in many cases, Invisalign often requires fewer in-office appointments — ideal for busy families and professionals.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, they must be worn 20–22 hours per day to stay on track. Consistency is key to achieving optimal results within your projected timeline.
Our team will guide you every step of the way, providing clear instructions and ongoing support to ensure your treatment stays on schedule.
Advanced Technology + Board-Certified Expertise
Invisalign treatment is only as effective as the orthodontist planning it. Our board-certified orthodontists bring more than 30 years of combined experience to every case. Using advanced tools like iTero digital scanning and detailed treatment mapping, we create precise, customized plans designed for long-term stability and healthy results.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all orthodontics. Your smile deserves personalized care.
If you’re considering Invisalign in Mustang, Oklahoma City, or Edmond, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll evaluate your smile, answer your questions, and help you determine whether Invisalign is right for you. A confident, healthier smile may be closer than you think.
Invisalign for Kids
While Invisalign is most commonly associated with teens and adults, it can also be an effective option for certain younger patients. In some Phase 1 or early interceptive cases, Invisalign may be used to guide jaw development, create space for incoming permanent teeth, or address early alignment concerns.
Because children are still growing, timing is critical. That’s why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation around age 7. Even if treatment isn’t needed right away, early monitoring allows our board-certified orthodontists to determine whether Invisalign or another approach would be most beneficial in the future.
Benefits of Invisalign for Younger Patients
- Smooth, comfortable aligners without brackets or wires
- Removable for brushing and flossing
- No emergency visits for broken brackets
- Fewer food restrictions
Invisalign can be especially helpful for children who are active in sports or involved in activities where traditional braces may be less convenient.
That said, compliance is essential. Because aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day, Invisalign works best for children who are responsible enough to follow instructions consistently. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine whether your child is a good candidate.
At Orthodontic Associates, we focus on creating positive early orthodontic experiences that build confidence and set the stage for long-term oral health.
Invisalign for Teens
The teenage years are one of the most common times for orthodontic treatment. Invisalign offers teens a way to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional metal braces.
For many teens, confidence matters — whether they’re involved in sports, performing arts, social activities, or simply navigating everyday school life. Invisalign aligners are clear and low-profile, making them barely noticeable in photos and face-to-face interactions.
Why Teens Love Invisalign
- Nearly invisible appearance
- Removable for meals and special events
- Easier brushing and flossing
- No restrictions on favorite foods
- Comfortable, smooth material
Invisalign can effectively treat many common teen orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
At Orthodontic Associates, we use advanced iTero 3D scanning to design highly customized treatment plans. In many cases, we also incorporate Virtual Monitoring technology to reduce the number of in-office visits — helping busy families save time while staying on track.
Because adolescence can be a challenging season of life, we’re proud to create a supportive environment where teens feel encouraged throughout their smile journey. A healthy smile can have a meaningful impact on self-esteem, and we’re honored to be part of that transformation.
Invisalign for Adults
More adults than ever are choosing Invisalign to improve both the appearance and function of their smiles. Whether you’re correcting teeth that shifted after previous treatment or finally addressing concerns you’ve had for years, Invisalign offers a flexible and discreet solution.
Many adult patients appreciate that Invisalign allows them to maintain a polished, professional appearance at work and in social settings.
Benefits for Adult Patients
- Clear aligners that fit seamlessly into daily life
- Removable for business meetings, presentations, or special occasions
- No dietary restrictions
- Easier oral hygiene compared to braces
- Fewer in-office visits in many cases
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just cosmetic. Properly aligned teeth can improve bite function, reduce uneven wear, and support long-term gum health.
Our board-certified orthodontists carefully evaluate each adult patient’s needs to determine whether Invisalign is the best option. For more complex cases, braces may sometimes offer better precision — and we always recommend the approach that prioritizes long-term health and stability.
With all-inclusive pricing, your first retainer included, flexible financing, and an in-house insurance coordinator to help manage benefits, we make investing in your smile straightforward and affordable.
It’s never too late to achieve the confident, healthy smile you deserve.
