Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign® clear aligners at Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics — a modern, nearly invisible path to a straighter smile in Grand Rapids and Grandville, MI.

Overview

Invisalign® clear aligners take a modern approach to straightening teeth — using a custom-made series of trays created specifically for you and only you. At Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics, our Grand Rapids and Grandville Invisalign orthodontists recommend this treatment to both teen and adult patients who are looking for a comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional braces.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign consists of a collection of top and bottom aligner trays made from smooth, comfortable, virtually invisible plastic. Patients wear them over their teeth for 20–22 hours per day. As you progress through your series of custom aligners — switching to a new set approximately every two weeks — your teeth gradually and gently shift into the positions your doctor has planned.

There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners on schedule and let the process work. Most patients achieve their new smile with little interference in their daily lives.

    The freedom to remove aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
