Invisalign gives patients of all ages the comfort and confidence to gently straighten their teeth without the discomfort associated with traditional braces. You can maintain your natural appearance while Invisalign quietly does its job.

Instead of having to brush and floss around brackets attached to your teeth, you can remove your clear aligners to brush and floss your teeth. You can also continue to enjoy all your favorite foods, but remember to brush your teeth before popping your aligners back into your mouth.

We Provide Invisalign For Adults

If you’re an adult, the idea of getting braces to straighten your teeth is probably only slightly more appealing than having a crooked smile. It’s a tough choice to have to make, but you want to look your best, and having crooked teeth isn’t an option.

Lakewood Dental Trails offers a new solution in orthodontics in Temple, TX. Invisalign replaces all the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces with crystal-clear acrylic aligners that work quickly and invisibly to straighten your teeth.

Straightening your teeth with traditional bracket and wire braces can take years. With Invisalign, we can dramatically reduce treatment times, and many patients see results in as little as 12 months.

Reasons to Choose Invisalign Clear Braces

Aside from the impact that metal braces can have on your appearance, they also come with other inconveniences simply because they’re affixed to your teeth. The beauty of Invisalign treatment is that the clear aligners are also removable. This is a huge benefit for several reasons:

Easy To Clean

Oral hygiene is the foundation for a healthy smile, but it can be frustrating to try to brush and floss around brackets and wires. With Invisalign, you can brush and floss as usual to get the most out of your routine.

No Food Restrictions

Traditional braces make it difficult or impossible to eat certain foods. With Invisalign, you have no food restrictions and can continue to enjoy all the foods you crave. Just be sure to brush and floss before putting your aligners back in after meals.

Discreet

Most people won’t notice your aligners, but you can remove them for a few hours if you need to attend a wedding or other big event.

Testimonial

I'm glad to be a patient here!

I have usually always been nervous about going to the dentist and when I explained my concerns, the people at Lakewood were very understanding and put my mind at ease. I had to have some dental surgery but it went really well and I was glad to have had it done there. Dr. Sura and her staff are a great team and I'm glad to be a patient here!
