St. Clair Shores Invisalign

Straighten Your Smile, Invisibly

At LakePointe Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign as a discreet, comfortable option to help you get a beautiful smile without noticeable braces.

Our orthodontists provide your family with top-quality clear aligner treatment in St. Clair Shores, Grosse Pointe, Warren, Roseville, and the surrounding areas.

Your Invisible Smile Solution

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible — and they’re custom-made for your unique smile so you can enjoy a comfortable, efficient, and discreet road to straighter, healthier teeth.

You’ll wear each series of clear, removable aligners for about one to two weeks before moving to the next set or tray. Each new tray follows your customized treatment plan to gradually shift your teeth into correct alignment.

The best part? Everyone will pay attention to your straighter smile — and most won’t even notice your treatment.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign aligners fit snugly over your teeth to apply gentle pressure to move them into the right position. Here’s how the process works:

Initial Consultation

During your first visit, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth to create a precise 3D model. This allows us to plan your treatment and design your custom aligners.

Receiving Your Aligners

Once your aligners are ready, we’ll provide you with several sets to wear over the coming weeks. Each set differs slightly to progressively move your teeth.

Wearing Your Aligners

Wear each set of aligners for 20 –22 hours a day. Remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You’ll visit our office every 8 – 10 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers many advantages over traditional braces. Here are some of the key benefits:

Comfort & Convenience

Invisalign aligners are smooth plastic, making them comfortable to wear. There are no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth. The gradual movement of your teeth ensures top comfort throughout your treatment.

No Dietary Restrictions

With Invisalign, you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods. Simply remove your aligners before meals and eat without worrying about damaging your orthodontic appliance.

Easy Oral Hygiene

Since Invisalign aligners are removable, maintaining good oral hygiene is simple. You can brush and floss your teeth as usual without any obstacles.

Fewer Emergencies

Invisalign eliminates common orthodontic emergencies like broken brackets or pokey wires. If you lose an aligner, you can usually move on to the next set without missing a beat.

Discreet Treatment

Invisalign aligners are clear and almost invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Krieg, Dr. Brynn, and Dr. Frenchi have extensive experience with Invisalign and are Elite Invisalign providers, ensuring you receive the highest quality care.

Invisalign First for Kids

Invisalign First is for young children who need early orthodontic intervention. This treatment uses clear aligners to address issues like spacing, crowding, and misaligned teeth in children as young as six.

Invisalign First guides the growth of your child’s teeth and jaw, creating the foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile.

Early Intervention Benefits

Addresses spacing and crowding: Invisalign First helps correct spacing and crowding issues early, preventing more severe problems later.
Guides jaw growth: The aligners guide the growth of your child’s jaw, setting the stage for a healthier bite and smile.
Comfort and confidence: Aligners are comfortable, removable, and almost invisible, making them a great option for self-conscious kids.

Regular Check-Ups

Regular check-ups ensure your child's teeth move correctly. We adjust the treatment as needed to guide their dental development effectively.

The Clear Choice for Teens

Invisalign Teen offers a clear alternative to traditional braces for teenagers. These aligners fit comfortably and discreetly, allowing teens to maintain their confidence while straightening their teeth.

How Invisalign Teen Works

Removable aligners: Teens can remove their aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy their favorite foods.
Custom-made for comfort: Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teen’s teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Advanced technology: Invisalign Teen uses the same advanced technology as regular Invisalign, providing effective treatment for a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Special Features for Teens

Blue dot wear indicator: This feature helps teens track how long they’ve worn each aligner, ensuring they follow their treatment plan.
Replacement aligners: Invisalign Teen includes up to six free replacement aligners in case any are lost or damaged.
Accommodates growing mouths: The aligners adapt to the changing mouths of teenagers, ensuring effective treatment as they grow.

Taking Care of Your Invisalign Aligners

Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is crucial for successful treatment. Here are some tips to keep your aligners in great condition:

Daily Cleaning

Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and cause scratches.

Oral Hygiene

Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth after every meal before putting your aligners back in. This helps prevent plaque buildup and keeps your aligners clear.

Storage

When you’re not wearing your aligners, store them in their protective case to prevent damage or loss. Never wrap them in a napkin or leave them out, as they can easily get lost or thrown away.
