Imagine straightening your teeth without anyone even noticing. At Bethesda Dental Care, we offer Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and SureSmile in Bethesda – a nearly invisible way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. Dr. Herman customizes this clear aligner treatment to fit your lifestyle, so you can improve your smile comfortably and confidently without metal braces.

Virtually Invisible Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of transparent plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into place. The aligners are nearly invisible when worn – most people won’t realize you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. This means you can smile, talk, and go about your day without the self-consciousness that often comes with traditional braces.

Removable Convenience

One of the biggest perks of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. Unlike fixed braces, you can take your trays out when it’s time to eat, so there are no food restrictions. Brushing and flossing is easy too – just pop the aligners off and clean your teeth as normal, then put them back in. Straightening your teeth has never been so compatible with your everyday routines.

Gentle & Comfortable

Clear aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that’s custom-molded for your mouth. They tend to be more comfortable than braces, with no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums. Each new set of aligners shifts your teeth gradually, so while you may feel mild pressure as they work, you’ll avoid the significant soreness and mouth abrasions that can come with traditional orthodontics.

Advanced 3D Planning

Your Invisalign journey starts with advanced 3D imaging of your smile. We create a digital model of your teeth and map out a precise step-by-step treatment plan. You can even preview a simulation of your future results before you begin. This high-tech planning ensures that each aligner is perfectly calibrated to guide your teeth into their ideal positions, making the process highly predictable and effective.

Fewer Office Visits

Invisalign is designed to be convenient for busy patients. You’ll receive several sets of aligners at a time and switch to the next set at home every one to two weeks. Check-ins with Dr. Herman typically occur less often than the monthly tightening appointments braces require. Spending less time in the dental chair means Invisalign easily fits into your schedule, all while your smile is improving week by week.

Healthier, Straighter Smile

A straight smile isn’t just about looks—it’s also about health. Crowded or widely spaced teeth can be harder to clean, leading to a higher risk of cavities or gum issues. Invisalign treatment aligns your teeth properly, making oral hygiene easier and more effective. Plus, correcting bite problems can reduce uneven wear on teeth and jaw strain. In the end, you’ll enjoy not only a more confident appearance but also the long-term oral health benefits of properly aligned teeth.
