At Elevated Family Dentistry, we believe orthodontic care should be as comfortable, convenient, and discreet as possible. That’s why we offer Invisalign—a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth without the brackets and wires of traditional braces.
If you’ve been weighing the pros and cons of Invisalign, here’s everything you need to know—and why it may be the perfect choice for your smile transformation.
Yes, You Remove Invisalign to Eat—And That’s a Good Thing
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can enjoy all your favorite foods—no restrictions. While you do need to remove them before eating or drinking anything besides water, this keeps your aligners crystal clear and your teeth clean.
Sure, it takes a little extra effort to brush after meals, but it also encourages better oral hygiene habits that protect your smile during treatment. With traditional braces, food often gets stuck in brackets, making cleaning much harder and increasing the risk of plaque buildup. With Invisalign, you get to take care of your teeth properly, every time.
Cost: Surprisingly Comparable to Braces
Many patients assume Invisalign is more expensive than braces—but that’s no longer the case. Thanks to advancements in 3D scanning and treatment planning, the cost of Invisalign is now similar to traditional orthodontics.
At Elevated Family Dentistry, we offer flexible payment options and financing, and we’ll help you check if your insurance covers part of the treatment. Plus, because Invisalign often requires fewer office visits than braces, you’ll save time and trips to the dentist too.
Attachments? Think of Them as Mini Superpowers
Some Invisalign cases require small, tooth-colored “attachments” to help guide your teeth into the perfect position. These are barely noticeable and much more subtle than brackets. While not everyone needs them, when they are used, they simply help make your treatment more precise and effective. It’s one of the many ways Invisalign technology personalizes your smile journey.
Invisalign Can Handle More Than You Think
It’s a common misconception that Invisalign is only for mild cases. In reality, Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental issues, including:
-
Crowding
-
Gaps
-
Overbites
-
Underbites
-
Crossbites
-
And more
With years of experience and advanced digital planning tools, the doctors at Elevated Family Dentistry are able to customize Invisalign treatment for a wide variety of orthodontic concerns. If your case is more complex, we’ll let you know upfront—but for most patients, Invisalign is not only possible, it’s highly effective.
Built to Fit Your Life
Invisalign trays are made from a patented SmartTrack material designed to be strong, comfortable, and discreet. Like any orthodontic appliance, they can crack if handled carelessly—but with normal use, they’re built to last.
And if something ever happens? Our team is here to help quickly so you stay on track.
The Clear Advantage Over Braces
Braces work—but they come with metal brackets, food restrictions, difficulty brushing, and visible hardware that many people want to avoid.
Here’s why more adults and teens are choosing Invisalign:
| Feature | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Nearly invisible | Metal brackets and wires |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic, no poking wires | Can irritate cheeks and gums |
| Food freedom | Eat anything, anytime | Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods |
| Oral hygiene | Remove to brush and floss | Harder to clean around brackets |
| Office visits | Fewer, quicker appointments | Regular adjustments needed |
| Lifestyle fit | No disruptions | Noticeable in photos and events |
