At Defay Orthodontics, we believe every child and teen deserves a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime. That’s why we offer Invisalign® clear aligners—an innovative, comfortable, and discreet orthodontic solution designed to fit seamlessly into growing lifestyles.
Invisalign® for Kids and Teens is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gently straighten teeth and support healthy smile development. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these virtually invisible aligners fit comfortably over the teeth and gradually move them into their ideal positions without the need for metal brackets or wires.
For younger children, Invisalign First® is designed to guide developing smiles by creating space for incoming permanent teeth and addressing early orthodontic concerns. For teenagers, Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces while effectively treating common issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crooked teeth.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing kids and teens to eat their favorite foods, brush and floss with ease, and participate in sports or musical activities without the restrictions often associated with traditional braces. Treatment plans are customized for each patient, ensuring a comfortable fit and predictable results while supporting growing smiles.
Invisalign® for Adults is an advanced orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners instead of traditional metal braces. Designed for adults who want a discreet and comfortable way to improve their smile, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners gradually moves your teeth into their ideal positions with precision and comfort.
Because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, they allow you to straighten your teeth with confidence in both professional and social settings. They are also removable, making it easy to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without the limitations of traditional braces.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next.
Treatment time varies depending on your orthodontic needs, but most Invisalign cases are completed within 6 to 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment timeline.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel mild pressure or soreness for a few days when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign they’re working.
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining, damage, and trapped food particles.
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. Only remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Yes. Invisalign is an excellent option for both teens and adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth. Your orthodontist will determine if it’s the right treatment for your specific case.
We proudly serve patients at two convenient locations, making it easy for you to access expert orthodontic care close to home.
