Invisalign
Crooked or gapped teeth can cause you to hide your smile and lose confidence in your appearance.
Invisalign® can discreetly shift your teeth into proper alignment to correct minor smile imperfections and enhance your self-esteem.

Which Dental Flaws Can Clear Aligners Correct? Invisalign Can Effectively Straighten Your Smile
A Closer Look At Clear Aligners and How They Can Discreetly Straighten Your Teeth
Impressions of your teeth and bite will be taken during your first appointment at our West Valley City, UT, practice, just outside Salt Lake City. Your aligners will be customized to correct your specific misalignment issues. With their slight variations in shape, each progressive Invisalign aligner tray will exert gentle force on your teeth. Over the next 6–18 months, your teeth will gradually shift into alignment. Because the aligners are removable and clear, Invisalign is a discreet orthodontic alternative to traditional braces.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Most patients with minor to moderate misalignment issues make good candidates for Invisalign treatment. However, there are a few factors our dentists will consider during your consultation.
Below are the characteristics of ideal Invisalign candidates.
Good Oral Health
A healthy smile is the foundation for successful treatment with Invisalign. Oral health issues like gum disease or tooth decay will need to be addressed before you can begin Invisalign.
Minor to Moderate Misalignment
Invisalign works best for mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment. Patients with severe misalignment issues may benefit from braces or another orthodontic treatment instead.
Committed to Treatment
You must wear your clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day to enjoy the best results. Patients who want to undergo treatment with Invisalign need to be committed to maintaining this schedule.
We Offer Invisalign Attachments for Patients With More Serious Misalignment
SmartForce® attachments are small tooth-colored additions that adhere to your teeth to help your aligners exert extra force. By providing additional pressure, SmartForce attachments can help correct misalignment issues that Invisalign alone cannot, which allows more patients to choose clear aligners over traditional braces.
In cases of severe misalignment that cannot be treated even with Invisalign attachments, we can either fit you with braces at our West Valley City practice or refer you to a trusted orthodontist while still remaining active in your treatment plan.

Tips for Invisalign Patients Keep Your Mouth and Aligners Clean
Once you get started with Invisalign, our dentists will give you instructions on how to best care for your teeth, gums, and aligners during your orthodontic treatment.
Brush and Floss Regularly
Continue to brush your teeth twice daily and floss once daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Clean Your Aligners Frequently
Clean your aligners every time you brush and floss your teeth. The best way to keep your aligners clean is by using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Avoid using very hot or very cold water when cleaning your Invisalign aligners. Extreme temperatures can warp the plastic and affect your treatment timeline.
Rinse Your Mouth After Eating
Aligners are worn 22 hours a day, you don't want food particles or the remnants of sugary drinks to sit on your teeth that entire time. Rinse your mouth after eating or drinking anything besides water before reinserting your aligners.
Keep Your Aligners Safe
Unlike traditional orthodontics, Invisalign trays are removable. Keep this convenience from becoming a hassle by making sure you put them in a safe place where they cannot be lost or damaged.
