Clear Aligners
Work?

Invisalign and Spark™Aligners are a high-tech way to straighten your teeth. No one will even know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment! The system relies on a series of removable, BPA-free, plastic aligners that are custom-made according to Dr. Kwong’s specifications. They’re supremely comfortable and best of all, virtually invisible.

T hink of it in sports terms. It’s not the basketball, baseball bat, or golf clubs that make the sports star a finished product, but the training and effort they put into it. The same holds true for clear aligners. It’s not the plastic aligners that result in a stunning smile; it’s the planning that goes on behind the scenes on the part of Dr. Kwong, who maps out the exact movements of the teeth. This is why it’s important to choose an orthodontist who is trained and experienced in Invisalign, Spark, and other aligner treatments.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks and certain teeth will move based on Dr. Kwong’s blueprint. With each new set, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into their new positions. You’ll take them out to brush, floss, and eat. How convenient is that?

The Advantages of Clear Aligners

The end result may be the same as traditional braces, a stellar smile, but the benefits of aligners are pretty hard to beat:

  • Effectively treat a wide variety of cases including spacing, crowding, crossbite, overjet teeth, and underbite
  • Virtually invisible
  • Removable so you can brush and floss as you normally would for improved oral health
  • Snack away! No food restrictions
  • Smooth and comfortable aligners without the need for poking wires or metal brackets

Are You a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

The good news is a lot of patients are excellent candidates for Invisalign and other clear aligners, especially teens and adults. Dr. Jeff can effectively treat more cases than ever with aligners. He’ll assess your needs at your free consultation and determine if Invisalign, Spark Aligners, or other options will work for you.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Everybody there is incredibly kind and caring. I honestly couldn't imagine a more comfortable environment to do my Invisalign treatment. Living hundreds of miles away for college, I didn't know how it was going to work. However, they make it effortless for me. I just let them know how long it will be until I return to Eldo and they give me the necessary aligners and supplies to get me through. I'd recommend the Invisalign not only for the amazing results, but also to prevent the freshmen fifteen! Once you have the aligners in, you don't always feel like taking them off just for snacks.

My daughter got her braces off today and our experience with Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics was awesome! My daughter had an expander and phase I braces. Dr. Kwong was very knowledgeable about how her teeth come in and we were able to head off some problems that would have only gotten worse as she grew older. My daughter enjoyed going there and we were impressed to be able to see Dr. Kwong personally on every visit. My daughter also had fun with his rewards program and earned gift cards for Jamba Juice and Target. I highly recommend Jeffrey Kwong Orthodontics!
