Patients may have similar dental issues, but the options to treat them are varied. It is not what benefits me, but what is best for each patient. It is my privilege to identify what they feel is important, then design treatment options that meet their needs, wants, and what is financially in their best interest.

Drs. Gruelle and Dempsey design every Invisalign treatment plan for their patients. Once your treatment plan is established, youll receive a series of Invisalign aligners. Patients wear each set of aligners for 7 days or less, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

One advantage to Invisalign that patients like is that they are nearly invisible, so your overall personal look is unchanged while you straighten your teeth and perfect your smile. Another aspect that patients typically appreciate is that because the aligners are removable, eating, brushing, and flossing is completely unaffected during treatment. For a lot of people, the aligners are also more comfortable than metal brackets and wires, and there are NO emergencies. A lot of patients also like the 3D imaging used to create the treatment plan because it allows them to see the final results before they even get started.

For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. After your braces come off, youll feel more self-confident. During your treatment, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can often choose brackets that are clear or metallic, and sometimes you can choose the color of the ties that hold the wire in brackets. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be, and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.

Treatment time typically ranges from one to three years, depending on the growth of the patients mouth and face, and the severity of the problem. Patients grow at different rates and will respond variously to orthodontic treatment, so the time until case completion may differ from the original estimate. The patients diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment. Interceptive or early treatment procedures may take as few as six months.
