How Invisalign® Works
A straighter smile has never been easier or more convenient. At Otter Creek Family Dentistry in Little Rock, AR, we offer Invisalign®—a modern, discreet solution designed to fit seamlessly into your daily life.
Using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gently moves your teeth into their ideal position over time—without brackets or wires. The aligners are comfortable, removable, and virtually invisible, so you can go about your day with confidence while making steady progress toward your new smile.
Invisalign Smile Makeovers
Are you unhappy with your smile’s appearance? If you have crooked, uneven, or crowded teeth that you wish were straighter, Invisalign might be the ideal solution.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign involves no wires or brackets. With their near invisibility, these procedures allow you to go about your daily life without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is versatile, addressing various orthodontic cases, from minor cosmetic adjustments to more severe issues. It can even address jaw concerns, such as underbites or overbites.
What The Treatment Includes
Step 1 – A consultation followed by an examination and x-rays.
Step 2 – A virtual preview of what your smile will look like after the treatment.
Step 3 – Sets of custom Invisalign® aligners are made for you.

Q: What Does the Invisalign System Entail?
The Invisalign system offers a nearly invisible method to align your teeth and achieve your desired smile. Utilizing advanced 3D computer imaging technology, Invisalign treatment maps out your entire process, starting from your teeth’s initial positioning to your desired final alignment.
Custom-made clear aligners are then created specifically for your teeth, gradually moving them with each set. You wear each aligner for approximately two weeks before switching to the next in the series, progressing until your teeth reach their desired alignment.
The duration of your Invisalign treatment will be determined by your doctor, tailored to meet your individual requirements.

Invisalign aligners are clear, seamlessly integrating into your lifestyle and social interactions. Their removability offers flexibility; you can enjoy your favorite foods and beverages by simply taking them out while eating.
