Invisalign® is a clear braces alternative that straightens the teeth using clear, removable aligners. Smile Studios Orthodontics offers Invisalign® to teens and adults living in Marietta, Atlanta, and the nearby areas of Georgia. We offer this treatment at our offices in Fairburn, Lovejoy, Hiram, and Carollton.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a clear, removable alternative to braces that uses a series of clear aligners to gradually shift and straighten the teeth. They are also referred to as clear braces due to their virtually unnoticeable appearance. Invisalign® can be used to address the following concerns:
- Overly crowded or spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
On average, the cost of Invisalign® will be no more than $125 a month for kids and no more than $162 a month for adults. However, the cost of your Invisalign® treatment will largely depend on your unique treatment needs. The cost of treatment can be made more affordable with dental insurance or dental financing.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an appropriate treatment for both teenage and adult patients. The Invisalign® treatment requires more discipline than braces, so it may not be suitable for younger patients. However, anyone who would like to achieve a straighter, healthier smile without worrying about the cosmetic appearance of braces may be able to benefit from Invisalign®.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
Invisalign® aligners are custom-fit using 3D imaging technology to ensure optimal fit and efficacy. Each aligner is worn for a few weeks at a time, shifting your teeth little by little. After a few weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners that will continue the alignment process until your final results are achieved. During the Invisalign® treatment, you will have appointments approximately every two months. Invisalign® requires fewer and shorter appointments than a braces treatment, since no regular adjustments are required; you simply swap out your aligner every few weeks as treatment advances.
How Long Will I Have to Wear Invisalign®?
The duration of your Invisalign® treatment will depend on the position that your teeth are in when you begin treatment. However, Invisalign® is typically a quicker, more efficient treatment compared to braces. During your consultation, Dr. Venn will provide you with an estimate after developing a personalized treatment plan.
Do I Need to Avoid Certain Foods with Invisalign®?
Invisalign® aligners should be removed while you are eating, brushing, or flossing. This means that patients will be able to eat all of their favorite foods during their treatment without restriction.
