A Smarter Way to Straighten Your Teeth
Orthodontic treatment has come a long way from the metal brackets and wires most people picture when they think about straightening their teeth. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to move teeth gradually and precisely into their correct positions, with none of the visibility, dietary restrictions, or maintenance challenges that come with traditional braces.
At Stetson Village Family Dentistry in Peoria, we offer Invisalign® as a comfortable, discreet alternative for patients who want to improve their alignment without interrupting their daily lives. The aligners are smooth, virtually invisible when worn, and removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Most people you interact with daily will never notice you are in treatment at all.
Whether you are an adult who never got around to orthodontics or a teen looking for a less conspicuous option, Invisalign may be exactly what you have been waiting for.

What Invisalign® Can Correct
Invisalign is effective for a broad range of alignment and bite concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth that overlap or are difficult to clean properly
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overbite, where the upper front teeth extend too far over the lower
- Underbite, where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper when biting
- Crossbite, where upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly on one or both sides
- Open bite, where the upper and lower front teeth do not make contact when the mouth is closed
- Mild to moderate misalignment that affects the appearance and function of the smile
More complex orthodontic cases may require traditional braces or a referral to an orthodontic specialist. We will assess your specific situation at your consultation and give you an honest recommendation on whether Invisalign is the right fit.
What to Expect from Your Invisalign® Journey
01
Consultation and Assessment
We evaluate your teeth, bite, and alignment concerns and confirm that Invisalign is appropriate for your case. We discuss your goals, answer your questions, and give you a realistic picture of what treatment will involve and how long it will take.
02
Digital Scan and Treatment Planning
A digital intraoral scan replaces messy traditional impressions to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth. This scan is used to map out the complete movement of your teeth and generate a digital preview of your projected outcome. Once you approve the plan, your custom aligners are fabricated.
03
Receiving Your Aligners
Your first sets of aligners are provided at a follow-up appointment. We walk you through how to insert and remove them, how long to wear them each day, and what to expect as you progress through the series. Small tooth-colored attachments may be bonded to certain teeth to help the aligners achieve specific movements. These are subtle and removed at the end of treatment.
04
Wearing Your Aligners
Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for treatment to progress on schedule. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistency is the single most important factor in achieving your projected result on time.
05
Progress Appointments
We see you periodically throughout treatment to monitor progress, address any questions, and provide your next set of aligners. These appointments are typically brief and straightforward.
06
Retention
Once your final aligner is complete, retainers are provided to maintain your result. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward their original positions without consistent retention, making this step as important as the treatment itself. We will give you clear instructions on retainer wear and care at the end of your treatment.
Invisalign for Teens
Traditional braces have long been the default orthodontic option for teenagers, but for many teens, the visibility, maintenance demands, and dietary restrictions that come with brackets and wires are a real source of frustration. Invisalign Teen offers the same clinically proven tooth movement as standard Invisalign in a format designed specifically around the realities of a teenager's life.'
Invisalign Teen includes a few features that address the practical differences between treating teenagers and adults. Compliance indicator dots are built into each aligner, fading from blue to clear over the course of wear to give parents and our team a simple way to confirm the aligners are being worn as directed. Replacement aligners are also included in the treatment plan to account for the occasional lost or damaged set, which is an inevitable reality with teenage patients.
See What Your Smile Could Look Like
A digital preview of your Invisalign outcome is part of the consultation process, which means you can see a projection of your results before committing to a single aligner. Our Peoria team will walk you through the full picture at your first visit so you can make a confident, informed decision.
We make it easy to get started, whether you are brand new to our practice or returning after time away. Give us a call to learn more about how Invisalign can help you.
