Our Orthodontic Services in Plainfield
Our available services include clear aligner treatment for appropriate alignment concerns and custom appliances for patients who grind or clench their teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign provides a discreet way to address certain alignment concerns using transparent trays that fit over the teeth. Each set is worn as directed to guide the teeth toward their planned positions. Since the trays are removable, you can take them out for meals and continue brushing and flossing as usual.
Whether Invisalign is suitable depends on your alignment needs, bite, and overall oral health. We assess these factors before recommending treatment. If you’re looking for orthodontic treatment near me, our team can evaluate your smile and discuss whether clear aligners are an appropriate option for you.
Custom Dental Guards
Grinding or clenching your teeth, also known as bruxism, can contribute to tooth wear, sensitivity, damaged restorations, and jaw muscle discomfort.
Custom dental guards are designed to fit your teeth and help protect them from damage associated with grinding or clenching. We may use digital impressions to create a personalized fit without conventional impression material. We will evaluate your teeth, bite, and symptoms to determine whether a custom dental guard may be appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer traditional braces, or only Invisalign?
We offer Invisalign as our tooth-straightening option rather than traditional braces. We can take a look at your teeth and bite to determine whether clear aligners may be appropriate for your needs.
Can I straighten my teeth without braces?
In some cases, yes. Invisalign clear aligners can gradually reposition teeth without brackets and wires. Whether aligners are suitable depends on your tooth alignment, bite, and individual treatment needs.
Is Invisalign more affordable than traditional braces?
Costs vary relying on the complexity and length of treatment and other individual factors. Since we do not offer traditional braces, we will provide an estimate for Invisalign based on your specific treatment plan.
Will my insurance cover Invisalign or a dental guard?
Coverage depends on your individual dental plan. Some policies may provide orthodontic or appliance benefits, while others have limitations or exclusions. Our team can help you review applicable insurance information.
What's the best age to start Invisalign treatment?
There is no single ideal age. Invisalign may be appropriate for teens and adults depending on dental development, alignment needs, oral health, and the ability to follow aligner wear instructions.
How long does a custom dental guard last?
The lifespan of a dental guard varies based on grinding intensity, frequency of use, appliance care, and changes in your teeth or bite. We can check its condition and fit during your dental visits.
