The Clear Alternative to Braces: Invisalign
Dr. Heaton is a certified and trusted Invisalign doctor and provider. He uses Invisalign clear aligners to gently straighten teeth for teens and adults. Invisalign can remedy most cases of crooked or misaligned teeth for patients who want an alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear plastic aligners that gradually and precisely move the teeth into place. Unlike metal braces, the aligners can be removed and only need to be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Invisalign has been proven for over two decades to get results similar to traditional metal braces in most cases of crooked, crowded or gapped teeth, as well as poorly aligned bites. Best of all, Invisalign is virtually invisible.
