Why choose Invisalign with The Smile Specialists:
Dr. Mona Derentz graduated from THE TOP INVISALIGN PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY! She has the training and experience to treat even the most challenging & complex cases with Invisalign.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the premier clear aligner system made up of a series of aligners. Each of these custom-built aligners works one by one, moving your teeth a little bit each time to the right spot! The aligner trays are all made of BPA-free plastic, with technology 25+ years in the making. With Invisalign, you can achieve the smile you want without the hassle of (highly visible) braces!
At The Smile Specialists, we aim to provide our patients with the latest and best in orthodontic treatment. Dr. Derentz works closely with each patient to provide the safest and most effective treatment available.
How does Clear Aligners work?
We are committed to providing the latest technology with the safest and most comfortable options available. We use a state-of-the-art iTero digital scanner that does not use any x-ray or radiation to take a 3D model of your teeth. It takes about 10 minutes and is completely painless and GOOP-FREE! On that same day, you will even get to see what your potential smile and bite will look like once you are done with treatment!
Then Dr.Mona prescribes the tooth movement needed to get you your perfect smile! In a few weeks, your first set of aligners will be made. Once they are ready, we place your attachments. These are little clear bumps on your teeth that help your aligners grab onto and move those pearly whites. With everything set and ready, we give you your aligners along with instructions on how to wear and care for them! It is that easy!
Your goal is to wear them 22 hrs per day! This gives you more than enough time to take them off for really good coffee, when you eat food, or brush and floss your teeth. The longer the trays are on your teeth each day, the more effective your treatment will be!
Invisalign is clear, made with no metal, and undetectable! There are even fewer office visits needed when compared to metal braces. That means less time away from work or school and more time to yourself! You can also eat anything you want – no restrictions on hard or crunchy food…go ahead, have that crunchy taco on Tuesday! The trays are also a much more gentle alignment appliance, and patients report less discomfort than braces. There are no wires to poke you and no broken bracket or emergencies. For busy adult lifestyles, Invisalign is the clear choice–no pun intended!
Invisalign for Teens:
Teens have so many significant events in their lives: Graduation photos, Prom, Homecoming, and way more. With so many life events, it can be easy to understand why teens might prefer Invisalign compared to bulky and very-visible braces. Invisalign is often the preferred option for teens who want to maintain and improve their self-confidence while straightening their teeth. It is also easier to brush and floss–simply take off the aligner and clean as you normally would! No dipping or dodging between brackets and wires as they would need if they had braces.
Invisalign for Kids/Phase I:
Growing smiles (from ages 6-10 years old) are great for Invisalign! Kids never break brackets this way, and there are no emergency appointments for poking wires or appliances. It is also easy to brush and floss since they can remove the aligner and really get those pearly whites squeaky clean! We even have a special sticker for their aligners if they want to add some color!

CLEAR BRACES
If Invisalign aligners are not for you – we still have some clear options for you! We offer porcelain braces that are color-matched to your teeth. The brackets are similar to traditional braces in how they work, but they are far less noticeable. Only the wires are not clear (sorry, I guess NASA-developed wires aren’t there yet). Even the most challenging cases ranging from deep bites to crossbites and underbites can be corrected with clear braces.
