Call Revive Dental about Invisalign today!
Want to straighten your teeth without traditional metal braces? Invisalign clear aligners provide a removable and discreet orthodontic option for many teens and adults.
At Revive Dental in Marriottsville, just 10 minutes from Ellicott City, Dr. Hazel Glasper plans your treatment with an iTero 3D scan, so you can see a preview of your new smile before you start. We provide personalized Invisalign treatment for patients in Ellicott City, MD, and surrounding communities from our nearby Marriottsville dental clinic. Your treatment is planned around your teeth, bite, oral health, and smile goals.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to gradually move your teeth according to a treatment plan developed by your dental provider. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue brushing and flossing your teeth normally throughout treatment.
Invisalign is a system of clear, removable orthodontic aligners designed to gradually move teeth into planned positions. Each set of aligners is custom-made for the patient’s treatment plan and is generally worn for most of the day, with removal for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign can address a variety of alignment and bite concerns, but it is not appropriate for every orthodontic condition. A dental evaluation is necessary to determine whether clear aligners can effectively treat your specific needs.
Orthodontic treatment is not only about creating a straighter-looking smile. Crowded, overlapping, or misaligned teeth can sometimes make certain areas more difficult to clean effectively. Improving tooth alignment may make it easier to brush and clean between teeth as part of your normal oral hygiene routine.
Healthy teeth and gums depend on more than alignment, however. Daily brushing, cleaning between your teeth, regular dental examinations, a balanced diet, and professional dental care remain important before, during, and after orthodontic treatment. Invisalign can make maintaining your normal oral hygiene routine convenient because the aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing.
Important: Invisalign should not be considered a treatment for gum disease or tooth decay. Existing dental problems should be evaluated and treated as appropriate before or during orthodontic treatment.

Depending on the individual case, Invisalign may be used to address concerns such as:
The complexity of your case matters. Some tooth movements and bite problems may be better treated with traditional braces or another orthodontic approach. Traditional braces may be considered when a patient needs more complex tooth movement, significant bite correction, or treatment that cannot be predictably accomplished with clear aligners.
In addition, active dental problems such as untreated cavities or gum disease may need to be addressed before or during orthodontic treatment. Our recommendation is based on your individual dental health and treatment goals not on choosing one type of orthodontic treatment for every patient. If Invisalign is not the most appropriate option for your situation, we will explain why and discuss the alternatives available to you.
Invisalign may be an option for many teens and adults who want to improve the alignment of their teeth. You may be a candidate if you have:
Mild to moderate crowding
Gaps between teeth
Certain bite alignment concerns
Teeth that have shifted after previous braces
A desire for a removable alternative to traditional braces
Healthy teeth and gums or dental conditions that can be appropriately treated
Your candidacy depends on more than whether your teeth appear crooked. We also consider your bite, gum health, existing dental restorations, oral hygiene, treatment goals, and the type of tooth movement required. The best way to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate is through a comprehensive dental evaluation.
Many adults consider Invisalign because they want to address crowded teeth, spacing, bite concerns, or teeth that have shifted since previous orthodontic treatment. Adults often appreciate that Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, compatible with normal eating, and convenient for brushing and flossing. Orthodontic treatment can be considered at many stages of adulthood, provided your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment and the planned tooth movements are appropriate.
Invisalign may also be an option for eligible teenagers. For teens, successful treatment depends on more than the aligners themselves consistent wear, good oral hygiene, attending scheduled appointments, and following treatment instructions are all important. During a consultation, we can evaluate your teen’s tooth alignment, bite, oral health, and treatment goals to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate. Parents and teens will also receive instructions on caring for the aligners and maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout treatment.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth according to a personalized treatment plan.
1. Comprehensive Consultation
We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. We also discuss what you would like to change about your smile.
2. Digital Treatment Planning
Digital records and scans can be used to evaluate your teeth and plan the intended tooth movements. Your treatment plan is designed around your individual anatomy and orthodontic goals.
3. Receive Your Aligners
Your custom aligners are provided with instructions for wearing, removing, cleaning, and caring for them.
4. Wear Your Aligners as Directed
Aligners need to be worn consistently for treatment to progress as planned. Your provider will give you specific instructions regarding daily wear and when to change aligners.
5. Progress Checkups
Periodic appointments allow us to monitor your tooth movement and determine whether your treatment is progressing as expected.
6. Retention
Once your active treatment is complete, retainers help maintain the position of your teeth and protect your results.
Here’s what your Invisalign experience typically looks like:
During your initial consultation with Dr. Hazel Glasper, digital 3D impressions of your teeth will be taken to devise your personalized treatment plan and create a series of customized aligners.
Our team designs a digital map of your expected tooth movements. You’ll even get a preview of what your smile is anticipated to look like at the end of treatment.
Once your aligners are ready, we’ll make sure they fit comfortably and explain how to wear and care for them. You will be instructed to wear each aligner for about two weeks before replacing it with the next one in the series.
Periodic checkups with our dentist in Ellicott City, MD, who is an experienced Invisalign cosmetic dentist, will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any required adjustments to ensure your treatment plan remains on track.
