A straight, confident smile can transform your appearance, oral health, and self-esteem. If traditional braces aren’t for you, Invisalign® offers a nearly invisible, modern solution. At Hamilton Family Dentistry in Baltimore, MD, we’re proud to provide this innovative treatment to help patients achieve healthier, more beautiful smiles.

Dr. Erin Wolfson, owner of Hamilton Family Dentistry, is certified in Invisalign and dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans. Dr. Sydney Nolan focuses on patient comfort and education, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. Let’s explore how Invisalign works and why it’s a revolutionary choice for orthodontic care.

The Invisalign Process: Step by Step

Invisalign clear aligners rely on advanced technology to deliver results without the wires and brackets of traditional braces. The process begins with a personalized treatment plan created just for you. Using 3D digital imaging, our team maps out your current smile and simulates how your teeth will shift into their ideal positions over time.

Once your custom aligners are fabricated, you’ll receive a series of trays to wear in a specific order. Each aligner applies controlled pressure to gently guide your teeth into their ideal position.

Depending on your treatment plan, you’ll switch to a new set every one to two weeks.

The material behind this technology is called SmartTrack®, a flexible yet sturdy plastic designed to fit snugly over your teeth. It’s not just durable—it’s also engineered for optimal comfort and precise movement.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers numerous advantages that appeal to both teens and adults. One of the biggest draws is its discreet design—the clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.

In addition to aesthetics, Invisalign aligners are removable. This allows you to eat all your favorite foods and keep up with your normal brushing and flossing routine with ease.

Treatment times can also be shorter with Invisalign, depending on your specific needs. Many patients complete their treatment in as little as 12 to 18 months, though individual results vary.
