Invisalign – Lovell, WY
Achieving a Confident Smile Has Never Been More Convenient
For decades, traditional metal braces have been used to treat a number of orthodontic problems that can compromise a smile: underbites, overbites, cross bites, rotated (crooked) teeth, and teeth that are irregularly spaced. No question, traditional braces work well, but they can be a nuisance and a distraction—especially for adults who need to think about their appearance in professional and social circumstances.
We’re excited to offer what we believe is a far superior solution: Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign can treat the same orthodontic problems as metal braces, but in a much more discreet way. Here’s how we can use these clear aligners to straighten your smile, boost your confidence, and bolster your oral health—and reach out if you’re ready to schedule an appointment!

How Invisalign Works
After a thorough dental cleaning and exam to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy, we’ll take photographs of your teeth and your mouth, as well as X-rays and molded impressions. With these as a guide, Dr. Anderson creates a treatment plan designed to precisely correct your misaligned teeth. The plan will include a 3D visualization of how your teeth will move and what your smile will look like at the conclusion of treatment. For Invisalign patients, this glimpse of their future smile can be very reassuring.
The aligners, which are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, will arrive in our office arranged in a series of pairs—one aligner for your upper arch of teeth and one for the lower. You must commit to the wearing schedule, which is usually about two weeks for each pair before you advance to the next pair in the series. Your dedication to wearing your aligners consistently day after day is key to the timely success of your treatment.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign is capable of assisting in a lot of situations! While severe cases of malocclusion may necessitate traditional metal braces, Invisalign is often able to tackle a wide range of orthodontic issues. Some of these include:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding is a common concern that can negatively impact the appearance of your smile and oral health. However, Invisalign is often a solution for mild to moderate cases of crowding.
Gaps Between Teeth
Many people grow up with gaps between their teeth, but as time passes, they grow less fond of them. Luckily, Invisalign is capable of gradually closing gaps in one or both arches.
Bite Alignment
Bite problems don’t just affect your smile’s appearance; they affect your oral functionality and can even damage the teeth or strain the jaw joints. Whether you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, Invisalign may be able to help.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign comes with all kinds of exciting benefits. For example, while going through treatment, you’ll be able to remove your aligners to eat, meaning there are no dietary restrictions at all. This also means oral hygiene is a breeze, as you’ll just brush and floss your teeth as usual in addition to cleaning your aligners! There’s also no risk of breaking a bracket or dislodging a wire, as can happen with traditional metal braces.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Since Invisalign isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment, there’s no standard price—it is always going to depend on a patient’s circumstances, as well as what they’re trying to accomplish. That said, during your consultation, we’ll review your dental history, examine your teeth, gums, and jaw, and learn about your smile goals. From there, we can begin putting together a custom treatment plan that includes a cost estimate. We’re also happy to review all financial solutions with you—we want you to feel confident about your commitment to your new smile!
