Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. Because the aligners are nearly invisible, most people will never notice you are in treatment. Dr. Christopher Murphy is a certified Invisalign provider and has treated many patients using this advanced clear aligner system.

Is Invisalign a Clear Alternative to Traditional Braces?

Yes. Invisalign is designed for patients who want to improve their smile without metal brackets or wires. Clear aligners offer a more subtle and comfortable orthodontic experience while still delivering effective results. At Southern Maine Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign for adults and teens, including Invisalign Teen.

What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that gently move your teeth into better alignment over time. Advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to digitally plan your treatment and even preview your expected results before you begin.

Each aligner is worn for a short period before switching to the next set, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal positions.

Why Do Patients Choose Invisalign?

Many patients prefer Invisalign because it fits easily into everyday life. Invisalign allows you to:

• Straighten your teeth without noticeable braces
• Remove aligners to eat, brush, and floss normally
• Enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions
• Maintain your normal lifestyle and activities
• Spend less time in the orthodontic office

Invisalign combines flexibility, comfort, and proven orthodontic results.

What Is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for growing smiles. These aligners provide the same clear, comfortable treatment as Invisalign for adults, while accommodating the needs of teenagers.

Invisalign Teen aligners are:

• Clear and discreet
• Removable for meals and hygiene
• Comfortable and smooth
• Custom-designed for each teen

From sports and school activities to photos and social events, Invisalign Teen allows teens to feel confident throughout treatment.

Is Invisalign Comfortable for Active Teens?

Yes. Invisalign aligners are smooth, durable, and flexible, making them easy to wear during sports, music, and other extracurricular activities. Because aligners are removable, teens can continue enjoying everything they love with minimal disruption.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign varies based on several factors, including the complexity of your case, treatment length, and the personalized plan created by Dr. Murphy. Invisalign is often comparable in cost to traditional braces.

We work hard to make Invisalign affordable and accessible for our patients.

What Payment Options Are Available for Invisalign?

Southern Maine Orthodontics offers flexible payment options, including:

• Low or no down payment options
• Interest-free monthly payment plans
• Flexible arrangements for FSA or HSA accounts
• Acceptance of most major credit cards

Does Insurance Cover Invisalign?
