Discreet
Clear aligners are far less noticeable than traditional braces.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Straighten Your Smile Without Putting Life on Hold
Invisalign® uses a personalized series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth. There are no metal brackets or wires, and the aligners can be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing.
Dr. Austin Reed plans each case using precise iTero® digital scans and guides you from the first consultation through retainers. Your treatment is tailored to your teeth, bite, goals, and everyday routine.
