At Dorfner Dental Studio, we understand that a healthy, beautiful smile can boost your confidence and make you feel great, inside and out.

General and cosmetic dentist Rachel Dorfner, DMD, is an Invisalign®-certified provider and uses this cutting-edge orthodontic system to help adults and teens achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted.

How Invisalign® can Enhance Your Smile and Dental Health

  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

Unlike traditional braces, the Invisalign® system doesn’t include rubber bands, brackets, and wires that can poke the inside of your mouth or require frequent adjustments. Invisalign® consists of a series of clear aligners made of proprietary SmartTrack® technology. SmartTrack® is a nearly invisible FDA-approved thermoplastic. It contains no gluten, latex, or BPS, making treatment safe for people with allergies and pregnant women.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

When you begin treatment, Dr. Dorfner gives you several sets of clear dental aligners. You’ll wear one set of aligners for two weeks, and then move on to the next set every two weeks until treatment is completed. For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. You’ll return to our office in Burlington every 8-12 weeks so Dr. Dorfner can check your progress and give you new sets of aligners. Each pair of aligners puts mild pressure on your teeth and jaw, gradually shifting them into a new position.

What to Expect at Your Invisalign® Consultation

First, Dr. Dorfner does a comprehensive oral examination and takes a series of X-rays. She reviews these X-rays to assess the alignment of your teeth and jaw and determine if you qualify for Invisalign® treatment.

If you’re a candidate for Invisalign®, we take precise 3D digital impressions of your teeth and mouth and upload them to a state-of-the-art orthodontic computer program. Dr. Dorfner uses the program to develop a custom orthodontic treatment plan. This amazing technology enables her to map out the exact movements of your teeth and jaw and enables you to see how your new smile will look. After explaining your treatment plan and answering any questions you may have, she sends your designs to the Invisalign® dental laboratory, where they use these digital impressions to create your custom-made clear aligners.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment with Invisalign® Take?

Invisalign® treatment typically takes between 12 and 18 months but may take longer, depending on your individual needs. For the best results, It’s important to wear your aligners at least 20-22 hours a day and keep your scheduled check-up appointments at Dorfner Dental Studio. When treatment is complete, we’ll give you a set of retainers. With daily wear, your retainers will prevent your newly aligned teeth from shifting out of place.

Advantages of Invisalign®

One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign® is that it helps you attain a beautiful, healthy smile with minimal interference in your daily life. Because your aligners are made of clear plastic, most people won’t even know you’re wearing them. They are also removable and can be taken out when you eat, for special events, or for taking photographs. You don’t have to deal with any dietary restrictions like you would with traditional braces, which allows you to keep enjoying all the foods you love.

Invisalign® Teen

Dorfner Dental Studio also offers Invisalign® Teen for younger patients. Invisalign® Teen is specially designed to provide extra space for growing teeth and new molars to erupt and shift into their proper position. Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® Teen can prevent alignment issues before they start.

How Do I Clean My Aligners?

Maintaining your oral hygiene routine and cleaning your aligners every day are critical to keeping your teeth healthy and reducing the buildup of plaque, food particles, and saliva. Invisalign® aligners are super easy to clean. Dr. Dorfner recommends rinsing your aligners in cool tap water at least twice daily and gently brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush at night. To avoid losing your aligners, always put them in their case when you take them out to eat or for other activities.
