Finding the right Invisalign® doctor for you

July 2024

So, you’ve decided to straighten your smile. Amazing! That’s a huge decision. Of course, the market is crowded. It can be hard to take the next step in your journey, to decide on a treatment provider and begin the smile transformation process. How do you know which one to pick?

Well, we’re here to make that choice easy for you. Not all clear aligners are created the same, and there are profound differences between brands you need to know before taking the next step.

The Invisalign® system offers you doctor-directed care from start to finish, with an Invisalign® trained provider overseeing your treatment at every step. In fact, it’s the #1 doctor-recommended clear aligner brand globally.1

What’s more, this will be a doctor you trust – one who you’ve chosen yourself based on their location, expertise and rating from other patients. It all helps make the Invisalign® treatment experience a positive one, as you journey from the beginning to your brand-new smile. The British Orthodontic Society also recommends you see a dentist about teeth straightening.2

Let’s take a look at why doctor involvement is so integral to Invisalign® treatment, and how you can find the best local Invisalign® doctor to handle your case.

Benefits of doctor-directed care

  • Full professional examination and proper diagnosis.
    Make sure your treatment stays on the right path by involving an expert, qualified professional from the very start, to determine your exact diagnosis and oral health needs.

  • Predictable results.
    With treatment overseen by a medical practitioner, using the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, you can rest assured you’ll get the smile results you expect. Your doctor can even show you a simulation of what your future smile may look like in your initial consultation.

  • Proper treatment monitoring.
    A mixture of virtual check-ins and in-person check-ups means your chosen doctor can ensure your treatment stays on track, making any necessary adjustments to your plan and ensuring you achieve the smile you’ve dreamed of.

  • A better experience and doctor-patient relationship.
    Working with a doctor you have chosen and trust makes your treatment experience a more positive one. They have the expert knowledge and training to direct your treatment to a successful conclusion.

  • Your questions answered.
    Having a doctor on hand at every step means you have support throughout treatment. There’s always a reliable, informed person you can contact should you have any questions or concerns about your treatment.

  • Reliable treatment you can trust.
    You never have to fend for yourself or go it alone with Invisalign® treatment. Teeth straightening is a medical procedure, involving moving teeth through bone. It requires medical supervision, and so it is essential to find the right Invisalign® doctor for you when you choose to undergo treatment.
