Straighten Your Teeth Around Your Routine
Many of our patients put off fixing crooked teeth or gaps for years because they didn’t want brackets and wires. Invisalign uses clear, custom trays instead. Each set moves your teeth a little at a time, and you can take them out to eat or brush. It works for teens and adults, and our team at Scott Dooley Dentistry in Garland is happy to see if it’s right for you.What Patients Like About Invisalign
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?
- Consultation: Dr. Dooley examines your teeth, asks what you’d like to change, and lets you know if Invisalign will work for you.
- Scans and planning: We take digital scans of your teeth and plan how each one will move. You’ll be able to see what your teeth should look like at the end.
- Your aligners are made: Your trays are made to match that plan.
- Wearing them: You’ll wear each set for 20 to 22 hours a day and switch every one to two weeks.
- Check-ups: You’ll come in every six to eight weeks so Dr. Dooley can see how things are moving.
- Retainers: After your last set, you’ll wear a retainer to stop your teeth shifting back.

Thanks to recent advances in Invisalign® technology, the treatment is suitable for more patients than ever before. If you struggle with any of the following orthodontic concerns, ask Dr. Dooley whether Invisalign® is right for you.
- Slightly crooked or overlapping teeth
- Gaps in your smile
- Mild to moderate bite misalignment, including an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
If you have more severe malocclusion, Invisalign® may not be a suitable treatment. In this case, we will refer you to an orthodontic specialist for more comprehensive correction.
