Why choose the world's leading invisible teeth straightening system?
Customized for Your Unique Smile
Invisalign treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. Our innovations and technological advancements make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life. Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth with no brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces. Your dentist will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
Comfort and Predictability
At Dental Arts Davis Square, we use iTero 3D scanning equipment to map out the path to your treatment, from your first aligner to your brand-new smile. You’ll be able to see a high-resolution, interactive 3D image of your teeth, that your dentist will use to determine your treatment options and then show you a simulation of how your smile will progress. You’ll decide together on your final result, and with iTero’s advanced imaging technology, you’ll be able to track your progress at every appointment.
The new Invisalign clear aligners are made from Invisalign’s patented SmartTrack material, so they are more comfortable than ever. Aligners made from SmartTrack material are specially designed to improve tooth movement, straightening your teeth more predictably, for the smile you expect.

Invisalign Treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist. Your dentist will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for approximately 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every week. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
While the average case can be completed in less than 6 months, depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 10 weeks. You’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks.
