Dr. Irvine Discusses Invisalign
I think a lot of people know a lot about Invisalign from online resources, but they have just become better and better with the tray fitting. There’s minimal change in the way you speak, usually, and the technology of the forces applied with the trays has really increased the efficiency of being able to do bigger cases in a reasonable amount of time, usually under one year. I think that the best thing about Invisalign is that you can take it off and eat normally out to dinner or have an office meeting without them in, and then they can put them back in.
They can take them out and brush them. They are not getting food caught in their braces, and it’s amazing in the first few months how much of a difference it can make. And it’s not just for cosmetics.
It can improve the bite, and it can improve the crowding to the point where they’ll be able to maintain the teeth better for the rest of their life.

Get a Great Smile With Barely Visible Orthodontics
Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic treatments. Patients love being able to straighten their teeth without anyone else around them noticing. It’s perfect for professional adults or anyone concerned about their appearance while fixing alignment issues. If you are ready to begin your journey to straight teeth, your dentist will examine your mouth to determine if you are right for Invisalign. Our practice has completed MOLIS coaching. This program helps us streamline the experience for you and ensure you have the best results.
If you are right for Invisalign, here is what you can expect:
- Planning Process – Your dentist will capture impressions of your teeth using advanced scanning technology. This same equipment allows us to show you your outcome before treatment starts. You can feel confident seeing what your smile will look like when you’ve completed treatment.
- Receiving Aligners – A special lab creates your aligners. You will come back to our practice to pick them up when they are ready. Your dentist will review your treatment plan with you.
- Wearing Aligners –You will need to wear the Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. However, you can take them off to brush your teeth, floss, or eat. It’s much easier than braces, which requires you to limit foods and use special equipment to floss. You’ll see your dentist for occasional progress checks.
- Completing Treatment – Most patients take about 12 to 18 months to finish Invisalign. However, everyone is unique. Your dentist will review how your long your treatment will take. Once it’s over, you will receive a retainer that will ensure you maintain the results.
Make Your Smile Shine With Other Cosmetic Options
After you have the straight teeth you’ve always wanted, you may want to consider other cosmetic dentistry solutions. You can:
- Whiten Your Teeth – Make your smile sparkle with in-office or at-home whitening kits. You can get your teeth brighter in a single appointment or more gradually from the comfort of home.
- Hide Dental Flaws – If you have imperfections like chipped or cracked teeth, you can hide them with bonding or veneers. Veneers last a decade or longer. Bonding is a more affordable option that doesn’t last as long.
- Reshape Your Gumline – A gummy smile can detract from your beautiful teeth. Your dentist can use a gentle laser to reshape your gumline, so more of your teeth will show.

All of the staff at Providence Dentistry including Autumn and Heidi at reception were friendly and welcoming. Emily, my dental hygienist, was very thorough and gentle. She explained what she was doing and put me at ease. Dr. Felden, the dentist, also took time to talk with me. Sam, the technician who took my scan for a retainer, explained the procedure well. I would highly recommend Providence Dentistry.

I wrote the following about a year ago and now I’m 89. I really can’t improve on what I wrote, unless I put it in BOLD, CAPS, AND UNDERLINED SCRIPT. This time, Dr. Irvine(I call her Dr Beauty!) actually driled through an implant to tighten it(then patched it flawlessly)and I didn’t even have novocane and felt nothing!!!! (now for last years’ post): She and her staff are the most friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and PAIN FREE of any dentists I’ve been to in my 88 years! I actually look forward to an enjoyable time when I go-HA!!! It’s like going to a party, with all the laughs and lovely faces around me!!! Joe Parascand

Dr. Irvine fixed a busted crown for me today and did her usual excellent job, i.e. no pain, well-explained, reasonable terms, with help from her courteous and always welcoming team (today it was Marciola; great job!). My wife and I feel lucky to have Dr. Irvine’s group available to us. Dr. Moran has to be one the best dentists in the area. She’s thorough, knowledgeable, technically savvy and friendly. My wife and I have relied on her for some 15 years now. She and Dr. Irvine (also very talented) have built a solid, customer-focused team. I would definitely recommend either dentist for your personal care.

Best practice in the area. The staff is well-educated and generous with their knowledge. Having an advocate for my teeth and gums was not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. Dr. Irvine is the absolute best dentist and Grace, the hygenist, is as amazing as the song says she is 😉. I couldn’t recommend a better office or group of people, from front desk to checkout, everyone is a rockstar!

M. P. (Verified Patient)
Just returned from my first visit. It was great!! Highly professional and very friendly at every turn. Jeri, who cleaned my teeth, did an exceptional job. Really liked my previous dentist (of over 30 years), but he retired and prices had been going up quickly. Definitely recommend these folks. Just went today for my second cleaning. As before, it was a great experience. Jerilyn is amazing! Whatsherface the dentist too. The technology these folks have is amazing. If you don’t have a fantastic dentist, go to Providence Dentistry. 03/15/22 appointment. Again, a very pleasant experience at “The Dentist.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s really true.

Trusted Providence Dentistry for over 5 years and have the utmost confidence in their professionalism and competence. Today Mauri did a great and thorough cleaning with a few X-rays. Dr. Irvine came in, checked me out and except for one problem tooth all is well. We trust and appreciate Providence Dentistry and the entire staff.
B. G. (Verified Patient)
Visited just a few days ago to launch an Implant, and benefitted from a concise, yet thorough, explanation of what the process involves from Dr. Irvine’s personable and clearly competent Assistant, Jackie. I am impressed by the innovative utilization of technology and engineering in the preparation for, construction of and manner of firmly securing the implant. The amount of thought, time and planning involved in this important procedure, plus the obvious skill and caring of Dr. Irvine and her Team have, once again, occasioned my “Thank You” to the source of my initial referral to the practice!
A. L. (Verified Patient)

K. R. (Verified Patient)

Outstanding as always. 15 years with same doctor.
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.
Barely. Unlike classic braces made of stark metal brackets and wires, these modern orthodontic aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, clear plastic that is virtually invisible. This means you won’t draw any unwanted attention to your mouth, and there won’t be any awkward questions or stares from onlookers during your months of treatment.
Invisalign can address many of the same issues as conventional braces. However, not everyone is a candidate for clear aligners treatment. The severity of your problems may require a more involved solution. That said, you will never know the best way forward until you schedule a consultation appointment with us.
