All About Invisalign in Tuscaloosa
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth by using a series of custom-made aligners created for you and only you.
These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gently move your teeth into place little by little, based on the exact movements your orthodontist plans for you.
You won’t need to worry about attaching metal brackets or tightening wires. You just pop in a new set of aligners about every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.
Why Invisalign at Whitaker Orthodontics?
With Invisalign, you’ll get a great smile with a treatment that doesn’t get in the way of your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.
This nearly-invisible option to straighten your teeth is truly changing the way people see orthodontic treatment. We’re very excited to offer this technology to our Tuscaloosa braces patients.
Dr. Whitaker has a lot of experience treating patients with Invisalign, and she and our team are happy to offer this game-changing treatment to you.
Invisalign: Clear Aligners, Confident Results
Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable alternative to traditional braces—designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic cases with ease. With their sleek, nearly invisible design, they deliver a smooth and discreet path to a straighter smile.
Here’s what makes them stand out from the rest.
Low Profile, High-Impact
Your aligners are designed to stay virtually invisible, made from clear, transparent material that keeps your treatment discreet every step of the way.
Unlike metal braces, there’s no glare or bulky hardware, just a subtle, comfortable fit that lets your smile stay behind the scenes until it’s ready to shine.
Orthodontics That Fit Your Life
Your smile journey should work around your life—not the other way around. Invisalign is designed for flexibility, letting you eat what you want and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine with ease.
Since they’re removable, they fit seamlessly into your day—but for the best results, be sure to wear them at least 22 hours a day.
Unmatched Comfort
Crafted from smooth, flexible, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign molds perfectly to your teeth—so comfortable, you might even forget they’re there.
Custom Fit, Customized Care
Every set of Invisalign is custom-crafted to fit your unique smile, ensuring a comfortable and highly effective treatment experience.
Using advanced 3D imaging, we map out a precise plan for your tooth movement, and with our cutting-edge technology, you’ll even get a preview of your future smile before treatment begins!

Stop by for a free consultation with Dr. Whitaker, where we’ll chat about whether Invisalign is the right fit for your smile goals. You might just be on your way to a grin so bright, sunglasses are optional—but recommended!
02
Say Cheese to 3D
We offer same-day starts, so if you're ready to begin your smile transformation. We’ll take quick digital impressions using our iTero scanner which means no goopy molds, no mess, just high-tech comfort from the start.
03
Start Smiling—Your Aligners Are Here
Once you receive your aligners, you’ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day—removing them only for meals, drinks (other than water), and your daily brushing and flossing routine.
04
Stay on Track With Each New Set
You’ll receive a new set of aligners every couple of weeks and have regular check-ins with us every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress.
05
Time to Shine Bright
When you finish your final set of Invisalign, you’ll enjoy straight teeth and a balanced, healthy bite.
To keep your smile perfect for years to come, we’ll create a custom clear retainer just for you. Wearing it as directed—usually just at night—helps maintain your beautiful results for a lifetime.
06
Protect Your New Smile
After completing your Invisalign treatment, it’s natural for teeth to try shifting back over time.
To protect your new, healthy smile, you’ll transition from your final aligners to a custom retainer designed to keep your teeth securely in place, helping your smile stay beautiful for a lifetime.
Your Teen Will Love Invisalign®
Almost Invisible
The Invisalign for Teens aligners are made of clear plastic and almost invisible. Your friends probably won’t even know you’re wearing them. Instead of hiding behind a mouth full of metal, you’ll enjoy the confidence of showing that smile every day.
You probably have friends with braces who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat certain foods like popcorn and whole apples. With Invisalign Teen, the aligners are completely removable, allowing you to eat all of your favorite foods whenever you want.
This also means you can easily keep brushing and flossing as you normally would for proper oral hygiene. Try that with braces.
Invisalign for Teens helps you focus on doing what you do best—being a teen.
Perfect for Busy Schedules
Invisalign for Teens treatment is ideal for busy parents because you won’t have any emergency appointments from broken wires or brackets.
Invisalign often requires fewer appointments (than traditional metal braces) because you get your Invisalign aligners in advance, and each visit requires less "chair time."
The typical Invisalign for Teens patient is seen once every 8 weeks for a total average treatment time of 9 to 15 months.
Doesn't Cost More than Traditional Braces
Every patient's needs are different, and many factors determine the cost of Invisalign treatment. In most cases, Invisalign is comparable in cost to traditional braces and covered by most dental insurance plans.
Financing options are also available to make Invisalign more affordable for your family.
Great for Active Teens
Invisalign for Teens effectively straightens teeth the same way metal braces do and is an ideal choice for teens who:
- Participate in sports
- Play certain types of instruments
- Love crunchy foods
- Are worried about how braces will look at homecoming or in the yearbook
With the clear, comfortable technology of Invisalign, teens can keep being themselves and love their smiles even more.
