Clear Braces

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean metal brackets and wires. At Chillicothe Family Dental, we offer clear braces using Invisalign®—the nearly invisible way to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.



With clear aligners, you can improve your bite, appearance, and confidence while still enjoying the freedom to eat, brush, and floss normally.

How Invisalign® Treatment Works
  • Consultation – Our dentists, Dr. Schwalbach or Dr. Holland, evaluate your smile and create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Custom Aligners – Invisalign® aligners are made from advanced 3D imaging technology for a precise fit.
  • Wearing Aligners – Each set of aligners is worn for about 2 weeks, only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
  • Progress Checkups – You’ll visit our office about every 6 weeks to monitor progress.
  • Treatment Timeline – Most cases last 9–15 months, with 18–30 aligners used, depending on your needs.
Benefits of Clear Braces
  • Nearly invisible – Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them
  • Comfortable fit – Smooth aligners won’t irritate cheeks and gums like metal braces
  • No food restrictions – Simply remove aligners to enjoy your favorite meals
  • Easier hygiene – Brush and floss normally for better long-term oral health
  • Predictable results – Digital planning allows you to see your expected results before treatment begins
What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces, also called clear aligners, use a series of custom-made, removable trays to gently shift your teeth into place. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are:

  • Virtually invisible
  • Smooth and comfortable
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
  • Custom-designed with 3D computer imaging
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign®?

Clear aligners can treat many common orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Mild to moderate misalignment



For more complex cases, we may recommend traditional orthodontics or a combination approach.
