Smithberger DDS offers clear aligner treatment for teens and adults who want a discreet alternative to braces.
If you’re ready for a straighter smile but want to avoid the look and feel of traditional braces, Invisalign may be the perfect solution. At Smithberger DDS in Towson, MD, we offer custom Invisalign treatment plans to help teens and adults align their teeth comfortably, discreetly, and confidently—without metal wires or brackets.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. Each aligner is custom-designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure that moves your teeth toward their ideal positions. Because the aligners are nearly invisible, most people won’t even notice you're wearing them. And since they’re removable, eating, brushing, and flossing is easier than ever.
Invisalign treats many of the same issues as braces—without the hassle or appearance of metal. It’s ideal for patients with:
✔ Crooked or crowded teeth
✔ Gaps between teeth
✔ Overbites, underbites, or cross bites
✔ Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
During your consultation, Dr. Smithberger will evaluate your bite, alignment, and oral health to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. While more complex cases may still require traditional braces, many patients are excellent candidates for clear aligners.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is how discreet and comfortable it is compared to traditional orthodontics. The aligners are smooth and custom-fitted, reducing irritation to your gums and cheeks. In addition, you’ll enjoy:
✔ Removable trays for eating, brushing, and flossing
✔ No dietary restrictions—eat your favorite foods without worry
✔ Fewer office visits compared to braces
✔ Predictable results through digital treatment planning
The Invisalign process begins with a digital scan of your teeth. We’ll map out a personalized treatment plan and show you a preview of your future smile. Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks, changing them as your teeth shift. Regular check-ins at our Towson office ensure your treatment stays on track.
For best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. Most treatment plans last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
After completing your Invisalign treatment, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain your newly aligned smile. Wearing your retainer as recommended is essential for keeping your teeth in position long-term.
