Invisalign®
Expert Treatment from the Team That Teaches Other Dentists.
You have choices for Invisalign. Why not choose the experts? Dr. Kalli Hale and Dr. Matt Hicks are the preeminent airway dentistry and Invisalign educators in North America.
What does it mean to choose an Invisalign Diamond Plus Provider? It means our practice has reached the highest tier of certification, putting us in the top 1% nationwide for experience and successful cases.
We leverage this world-class, clinic-wide expertise to deliver a functional, airway-focused treatment plan. Our goal isn’t just a straighter bite; it’s a broad, beautiful smile that enhances your breathing and overall health for life.
Not All Invisalign Is Created Equal.
Invisalign is a tool, not a treatment. The results depend entirely on the doctor designing your plan. Many providers use Invisalign in ways that can compromise your bite or shrink your airway. We plan differently.
| The Airway Dentists | Standard Providers |
|---|---|
|
World-Class Educators Dr. Matt Hicks coaches 2,000+ dentists on Invisalign technique. |

Retracts & Pulls Back Often pulls teeth backward to close gaps, potentially shrinking tongue space. |

Who Is Invisalign For?
Adults
- Relapse: Your teeth shifted after braces or were never fully corrected.
- Crowding or spacing: Teeth feel too tight, overlap, or have visible gaps.
- Bite issues: For those with overbites, crossbites, open bites, and more.
- Sleep apnea: For some mild cases of obstructive sleep apnea.
Teens
- Confidence: Straighten teeth without the “metal mouth” look in photos.
- Hygiene: Removable trays mean they can floss and brush normally—no food stuck in brackets.
- Comfort: Smooth plastic reduces the risk of emergency visits for broken wires or poking metal.
Kids
- Phase 2 ready: Perfect for children who have completed their early orthodontics (Phase 1) treatment.
- Finishing touch: Because Phase 1 already did the heavy lifting to expand the dental arches and support airway health, Invisalign gently guides the newly erupted adult teeth into their final, ideal positions.
- Familiar comfort: Kids who are already used to Phase 1 oral appliances transition easily to these comfortable, removable clear aligners.
How It Works
Digital Scan (No Goop!)
We use the iTero® digital scanner to take a 3D image of your teeth in minutes. No uncomfortable molds or putty.
Expert Planning
Your doctor designs your custom movement plan. You can see a digital preview of your future smile before we even start.
Wear & Go
You receive your series of clear aligners. You wear them for 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks as your teeth gently move.
Refine & Retain
Once your smile is perfect, we provide retainers to lock in your results and protect your investment for life.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does treatment take?
Most cases fall in the 6–18-month range. Because we use advanced digital planning, treatment is often faster and more predictable than traditional braces.
Am I a candidate if my teeth are very crooked?
Yes. Invisalign technology has advanced significantly. We treat mild, moderate, and even severe crowding and bite issues (such as overbites and crossbites) effectively with clear aligners.
Is it more expensive than braces?
Actually, Invisalign is comparable in cost to traditional braces. Our $3,999 special is often more affordable than metal braces at other offices.
Does it hurt?
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when you switch to a new tray—this means it’s working! It is generally much more comfortable than the tightening and poking of metal braces.
I was previously told I’m not a candidate for Invisalign. Is that still true?
Not necessarily. Invisalign technology has evolved dramatically, and treatment outcomes depend heavily on the doctor designing the plan. Many patients who were told “no” years ago—or by providers who don’t handle complex cases—can now be treated successfully. A 3D scan and consultation will give you a clear, personalized answer.
