Why Experience Matters with Invisalign
Not every orthodontist who offers Invisalign has the same level of expertise. Invisalign requires skill, planning, and an eye for detail.
Choosing a practice with deep experience ensures your treatment is designed to fit your unique smile goals. Wardlaw Orthodontics is in the top 1 percent of Invisalign providers in the United States and the largest provider in Central Arkansas. Dr. Wardlaw has completed a Master’s program and two Fellowships with Invisalign, which puts him in an elite category of providers nationwide.
When it comes to orthodontics, results depend on the provider. The right Invisalign dentist can make the difference between a standard outcome and a life-changing transformation.
Understanding the Invisalign Process
The Invisalign process begins with a detailed consultation and advanced 3D imaging.
At Wardlaw Orthodontics, we use iTero scanning technology to create a complete picture of your teeth and bite. This digital model helps us map out each stage of your treatment with accuracy. Instead of messy impressions, the iTero scanner provides a faster, cleaner, and more comfortable experience.
Your Invisalign aligners are then custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. Each set of aligners moves your teeth gradually, step by step, until you achieve your desired smile. The process is simple, but the planning behind it is highly specialized, which is why choosing a Certified Invisalign provider is so important.
Invisalign Treatment Benefits
Studies show that patients using clear aligners have better gum health, fewer bacteria, and improved dental hygiene. Aligners can be removed for meals and oral care, which makes brushing and flossing much easier. This means fewer risks of cavities and healthier gums throughout your treatment.
Additional benefits include:
- Nearly invisible aligners for a discreet look
- Comfortable fit
- Flexibility to remove aligners
- Shorter treatment times
These Invisalign treatment benefits give patients the confidence to keep smiling throughout their orthodontic journey.
Orthodontic Treatment Options for Every Age
Wardlaw Orthodontics offers orthodontic treatment options for children, teens, and adults.
Parents often ask if Invisalign is safe and effective for children. The answer is yes. Learn more about Invisalign for kids here.
Starting treatment early can guide proper jaw growth and prevent bigger dental problems later. Teens also enjoy the freedom of removable aligners, especially when playing sports or instruments.
Aligners fit into a busy schedule without disrupting school life, making them a smart choice for families who want an effective and discreet orthodontic solution.
Adults can also enjoy the flexibility and comfort of aligners while balancing work and family life.
For those who prefer a different approach, we also offer traditional braces, and ceramic braces with a clear design. This provides a subtle alternative while still achieving strong results. Every patient is different, which is why we take the time to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Invisalign for Common Smile Concerns
Many people wonder if Invisalign is right for their dental challenges. Aligners are highly effective for treating:
- Crooked teeth
- Spacing
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
If you are unsure, read more about Invisalign for crooked teeth here. With advances in aligner design, more patients than ever can qualify for treatment to straighten teeth, even those with complex cases that once required braces.
Aligners are not just cosmetic. Correcting alignment improves bite function, reduces jaw strain, and protects long-term oral health.
Confidence and Oral Health Connections
Smiling is linked to confidence, and confidence is tied to overall well-being. Studies show that people who maintain routine dental care report higher levels of self-esteem. Aligners make it easier to care for teeth, which helps boost both oral health and confidence at the same time.
Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign helps support both health and confidence at every stage of life. For kids and teens, correcting misalignment can reduce the social and emotional stress caused by dental issues. Research confirms that dental problems in adolescents can have a major impact on self-esteem and social life.
For adults, Invisalign can be life-changing. Straighter teeth improve both function and appearance, which enhances confidence in both personal and professional settings.
