Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. You wear each set for about a week, take them out to eat and brush, and most people never notice you are wearing them. Dr. Chelsea Mason plans your case with a digital scan, so there are no gooey impressions.

Your oral health affects your overall well-being and goes far beyond just the teeth and gums. Dr. Chelsea Mason takes an integrative approach to understanding dental health and its connection to overall health. Today, dental health can no longer be considered or treated in isolation from the rest of the body.
Invisalign works well for crowding, gaps, mild bite issues and teeth that shifted after braces years ago. Because the aligners come out, you eat what you want and keep brushing and flossing normally. Checkups are quick and you can often go six to eight weeks between visits, which matters if you are driving in from Midland or Saginaw.
We do not place traditional metal braces. For most adults and teens with crowding, spacing or a mild to moderate bite issue, Invisalign does the same job without brackets and wires, with fewer office visits and no food restrictions. Treatment for adults usually runs 12 to 18 months.
If your case needs braces, Dr. Chelsea Mason will tell you at the consultation and refer you to an orthodontist we trust; we would rather send you to the right treatment than sell you the wrong one.

It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Simple cases cost less than full treatment. You get an exact price at the free consultation, and we offer monthly payment plans. Many dental plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies.
Most cases finish in six to eighteen months. Minor crowding or spacing can be quicker. Wearing the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day is the biggest factor in staying on schedule.
You will feel pressure for a day or two each time you switch to a new aligner. That is the aligner working. It is much milder than the soreness of tightened braces, and over-the-counter pain relievers handle it.
Water is fine. For anything else, take them out, then brush before putting them back. Coffee, tea and red wine will stain the aligners if you drink with them in.
Yes. Invisalign Teen includes wear indicators and replacement aligners. Dr. Mason will tell you at the consultation whether a case is a good fit for aligners or needs traditional braces.
Yes. Teeth drift without one. We include retainers at the end of treatment, usually worn at night.
No. We offer Invisalign clear aligners, which handle most adult and teen cases without brackets or wires. If braces are the better option for you, Dr. Chelsea Mason will say so at your consultation and refer you to a trusted orthodontist.
