About Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet and comfortable solution for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment to enhance their smile. Unlike traditional braces which use a system of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign treatment employs a series of personalized plastic aligners, each of which are digitally crafted to suit your unique needs. These aligners are designed to make gradual adjustments to your tooth alignment, and as you transition to a new set of aligners every few weeks your teeth will gently shift into their optimal positions. You will meet with our dentists regularly throughout your treatment to ensure that your smile progresses as intended.

Invisalign clear aligners can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, similar to traditional braces. Our experienced dentists may recommend Invisalign orthodontics to correct issues such as crowded or crooked teeth, gaps and spaces between teeth and various bite problems like overbites, open bites, underbites or crossbites.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Adam Schneider, Dr. Katie Staub or Dr. Thomas Tran will assess your candidacy for Invisalign treatment, which often proves to be an excellent choice for adults and individuals who value the discreet nature of orthodontic care. These clear aligners are not only inconspicuous but also exceptionally comfortable, thanks to their custom-made, thin plastic construction. Furthermore, their removable nature allows for easy removal when eating, brushing and flossing, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene with ease.

We invite you to call or text Schneider Family Dentistry at 240-654-3555 to schedule a consultation and learn if you are a candidate for Invisalign clear aligners in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Discover your path to a straighter, more confident smile with a smile makeover!
