About Invisalign
At Westfall Orthodontics, we know that every smile is unique, and so are your goals for treatment. Many patients want the benefits of orthodontics without the look or feel of braces. That’s where Invisalign comes in. As a Platinum Invisalign Provider, our team has the highest level of experience with clear aligners, helping patients of all ages achieve confident, healthy smiles with a discreet alternative to braces.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike braces, there are no brackets or wires—just smooth, nearly invisible aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth.
Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and brush and floss your teeth as usual. They’re designed to blend into your lifestyle seamlessly, making them an excellent choice for teens and adults who want a more discreet approach to orthodontics.
Whether your case is simple or complex, Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
The Invisalign Process
Your Invisalign journey at Westfall Orthodontics is personalized from start to finish:
- Consultation & Digital Scan — We’ll begin with a free consultation to evaluate your smile. Using our iTero scanner, we create a precise 3D image of your teeth—no messy impressions required.
- Custom Treatment Plan — Dr. Westfall designs your treatment plan, mapping out the exact movements of your teeth. You’ll even see a digital preview of your future smile before you begin.
- Your First Aligners — Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Progress Check-ins — With tools like DentalMonitoring, many of your check-ins can be done remotely, keeping you on track with fewer office visits.
- Your New Smile — As you progress through your aligners, your teeth move step by step into their ideal positions. Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive a retainer to maintain your new smile.
Invisalign vs. Braces
Both Invisalign and braces are effective tools for creating beautiful, healthy smiles, but they offer different benefits depending on your lifestyle and needs.
Invisalign Advantages:
- Nearly invisible design for a discreet treatment experience
- Removable aligners make eating, brushing, and flossing easy
- Smooth plastic aligners mean fewer irritation spots than braces
- Fewer office visits, especially with virtual check-in technology
Braces Advantages:
- Effective for all types of orthodontic cases, including the most complex
- Options include metal, ceramic, and self-ligating braces
- Always working—no need to remember to wear them
The best choice depends on your treatment goals, preferences, and lifestyle. During your consultation, we’ll help you compare options and decide which is right for you.

Invisalign For Kids
Early orthodontic care can help guide a child’s smile as it develops, and Invisalign First was created just for younger patients. These clear aligners are designed to treat issues in growing children, such as crowding, spacing, and arch development.
Unlike traditional expanders or early braces, Invisalign First aligners are removable, comfortable, and easy for kids to adapt to. Parents love that their child can still brush and floss normally, and kids love that they can eat their favorite foods without worry.
At Westfall Orthodontics, we make early treatment fun with our 7&Up Kids Club, ensuring children feel positive and excited about orthodontics. With Invisalign First, kids can start their journey to a healthier smile in a way that’s gentle, effective, and confidence-boosting.
Invisalign For Teens
The teenage years are busy, and confidence is everything. Invisalign Teen is designed to fit seamlessly into a teen’s lifestyle, offering the effectiveness of braces without the brackets and wires. The clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them an appealing choice for school, sports, or social events.
Invisalign Teen includes features made specifically for younger patients, such as compliance indicators that show if aligners are being worn enough, plus replacement aligners in case a set is lost or damaged. Teens can continue to enjoy their favorite foods, play instruments, or participate in athletics without braces getting in the way.
With our DentalMonitoring technology, many check-ins can be done virtually, so teens spend less time at appointments and more time doing what they love. Invisalign Teen makes it easy to stay on track while boosting self-esteem during these important years.
Invisalign For Adults
More adults than ever are choosing Invisalign to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. Whether you never had orthodontic treatment as a child or your teeth have shifted over time, Invisalign offers a discreet, flexible solution that fits into your busy lifestyle.
Because the aligners are clear and removable, adults can straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious in professional or social settings. Treatment is comfortable and convenient—no dietary restrictions, no special tools for brushing and flossing, and fewer office visits thanks to virtual monitoring.
At Westfall Orthodontics, we know adults value efficiency. As a Platinum Invisalign provider, Dr. Westfall has the expertise to handle even complex cases with clear aligners, often achieving results that rival traditional braces. With Invisalign, you can improve your oral health, bite function, and confidence—all without disrupting your day-to-day life.
