Invisalign at Hoopes Orthodontics

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, are a popular alternative to traditional braces. Designed to be nearly invisible, they allow you to straighten your teeth discreetly while fitting comfortably into your lifestyle. At Hoopes Orthodontics, Dr. Tom Hoopes creates customized aligner treatment plans tailored to your smile.

Why Clear Aligners

Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to gently guide your teeth into place.

  • Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them

  • Eat, brush, and floss without brackets or wires

  • Smooth trays without metal or adjustments

  • Fewer in-office visits compared to braces

What Clear Aligners Can Treat

Aligners are effective for many orthodontic needs, including:

Gaps Between Teeth

Mild to Moderate Bite Issues

Crowded or Crooked Teeth

Early Treatment (Phase I)

In some cases, children can begin aligner therapy as part of early interceptive treatment. Invisalign First® is specially designed to guide growth, make space for incoming permanent teeth, and address developing bite concerns at a younger age.

For more complex cases, Dr. Hoopes will recommend whether braces or aligners are the best choice for you.

What to Expect

Your aligner journey begins with a digital scan of your teeth. From there, Dr. Hoopes maps out your treatment plan and provides a series of custom trays. You’ll wear each set for about 1–2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth into alignment. With regular check-ins, we’ll ensure your smile stays on track.

Your Smile, Your Way

Clear aligners are an excellent choice for both adults and kids. Whether you’re a parent exploring early treatment for your child or an adult looking for a discreet option, aligners can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
