INVISALIGN

Teeth-straightening with invisible plastic aligners.

straightening teeth without braces

We now offer Invisalign®, a modern approach to straightening teeth. A custom-made series of invisible plastic aligners are made specifically for you and gradually shift your teeth into place. There are no metal wires or brackets, you just wear a new set of aligners every two weeks. Your teeth will gently straighten based on the exact movements the dentist plans out for you. Invisalign® treatment provides minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself. This is much the same as Clear Correct orthodontics.

Invisalign can correct aesthetic imperfections with your teeth that may have occurred following traditional orthodontics as a child. However, we can also treat functional imbalances that lead to premature wear of the teeth. This wear can cause the need for extensive future dental treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for invisalign?
It takes a thorough exam by Dr. Fowles to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. However, those with mild-moderate crowding or spacing make good candidates for treatment. We offer free consultations to further discuss this with one of our doctors in Bend. Contact us today! 541-388-1434.
How much does Invisalign cost?

Our cost is very reasonable and more affordable than many other places in Bend, OR. We understand that cost plays a role and have several options to help you afford the treatment that you need. We will also utilize any dental insurance that you have to get you the most benefit. If you don’t have insurance, we also have an option for you!

What is is like wearing invisible aligners?
Wearing clear aligners requires some adaptation. It can mildly effect your speech which most people rapidly adapt to. They are nearly invisible and often comfortable. As with traditional braces, there can be some discomfort when initially starting your aligners or changing to a new set of aligners. This improves over the course of hours or days. Retainers should be worn 20-22 hours per day and taken out only to eat, drink, floss and brush. You may drink only water with your aligners in place.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatment time can only be determined following a thorough evaluation, however, the average time for an adult is around 12 months.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
There are several advantages to treatment with clear aligners. They are virtually invisible and removable. There are no metal brackets or wires that cause irritation in your mouth. We are also able to see the result virtually before you start, so you can have some input in the outcome if you would like!
Do I need to go to an orthodontist for treatment?
No, you do not need to see an orthodontic specialist for Invisalign treatment. Dr. Fowles has extensive training in clear aligner orthodontics and can confidently treat a variety of cases. However, he will never threaten your well being and will refer you to another provider in Central Oregon if we feel you will be better served by them.
