Dr. Kim Littlefield is a Certified Invisalign
Provider. Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always
wanted ' without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Littlefield can determine if Invisalign is right for you.
What is it?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable
aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So you can smile more during treatment
as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and
has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada
are certified to treat with Invisalign.

Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you
can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing
are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions
during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in
your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your
own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth
will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them
only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next
in the series, your teeth will move ' little by little, week by week ' until they
have straightened to the final position Dr. Littlefield has
prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Littlefield about once every 6
weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment
time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment
is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Learn more about Invisalign
