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.

I recently visited Providence Dentistry and had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Michelle Felden — and I couldn’t be more impressed. Her patient care was exceptional from start to finish. She checked in constantly to make sure I was comfortable, paused whenever I needed a break, and clearly explained each stage of the procedure and what to expect next. Even though my “responses” were mostly muffled uh-huh’s and thumbs-ups, she still guided me through the entire process, and I felt completely informed the whole time. Having grown up with my mom as my dental hygienist for over 20 years, my old dental office felt like a second home — so I wasn’t sure I’d ever feel that comfortable switching dentists. But from the moment I walked into Providence Dentistry, from the front desk staff to the hygienists to Dr. Felden herself, I immediately felt at home and completely confident that I was receiving the highest level of care. Dr. Felden’s gentle approach, attention to detail, and communication style made what could have been an anxious experience into one of ease and trust. Thank you to the entire team at Providence Dentistry — I’m already looking forward to bringing some treats for you guys next routine cleaning!

Jeri – best hygienist. Dr Irvine – best dentist. Support staff – excellent. Highly recommended! Update 7/2022: unfortunately, had to pull a tooth. Dr Patel was my dentist for the first time and it was a good experience. Gave me my options of an implant or a bridge. Very professional and knowledgeable.. Has made me as comfortable as I can be in my current situation. I’m going with the bridge and have full confidence Dr Patel will do a good job. My “white knuckling” that I have always felt when at the dentist, has reduced due positive experiences. I highly recommend Providence and Dr’s Patel and Irvine.

I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the whole staff at Providence Dentistry. I had an accident while traveling 10 days ago. My friends recommended this practice to me. I made an appointment for the day I returned from my trip. I was a new patient, so they made accommodations to fit me in. The whole staff was so kind to me from the moment I made the appointment until after my procedure yesterday. I highly recommended Providence Dentistry! I had a phobia of the dental office before, they were so caring and helpful that I no longer fear the dental office.

I would highly recommend Providence Dentistry.

what can you say about a Dentistry that says you have great teeth … other than to say they are great. Great staff. Energetic and Helpful. Thanks
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.
