Invisalign®

For patients interested in a more discreet way to improve tooth alignment, Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually guide the teeth into their desired positions. The trays are custom-fitted to your smile and can be taken out during meals and your regular brushing and flossing routine. This flexibility can make Invisalign® an appealing choice for patients who want orthodontic treatment that fits more easily into their everyday routines.

Clear Plastic Retainers

After orthodontic treatment, wearing a retainer every night is an important step in keeping your newly straightened smile from shifting. We offer custom clear plastic retainers that fit comfortably over your teeth and help prevent them from gradually moving out of position. Their discreet, removable design makes clear retainers easy to wear. Dr. Guthrie will provide personalized instructions for wearing and caring for your retainer so you can protect your smile for years to come.
