Invisalign

The days of noticeable metal brackets and wires are officially over. With Invisalign®, you can straighten your teeth on your own terms.

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that blend in with your smile, so only you know that you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Visit Dr. Philip J. Latteier and the dentists at Midnight Sun Dental. We have two convenient locations in Anchorage and Eagle Rock, AK.

Invisalign vs. Braces Why Clear Aligners Are Superior

Orthodontists and dentists may recommend Invisalign over traditional braces for many reasons. That's because:

Clear Aligners Are More Subtle

Patients often ask our dentists for aligners simply because they're more discreet than braces. Having a subtle option to straighten your teeth can do wonders for your confidence during treatment.

Clear Aligners Are Easier to Maintain

Braces can often make brushing and flossing tricky. Not to mention, there's always the possibility of a dislodged bracket or broken wire. With aligners, all you have to do is take them out at meals and clean them with water and dish soap.

Clear Aligner Treatment Is Simpler

You typically just need to switch aligners out on a schedule and visit our dentists for checkups. That's much simpler than getting your braces tightened regularly by an orthodontist.

Clear Aligners Let You Eat What You Want

No need to take foods like apples, nuts, or caramel off the menu. Invisalign treatment gives you the flexibility to eat what you want, when you want, so that you can enjoy a rich diet.

High-Tech Materials Make All the Difference

Our dental practice prides itself on using quality materials, like Invisalign retainers made from their proprietary SmartTrack thermoplastic.

Whether you're an on-the-go adult or you're looking for an orthodontic option your teenager can appreciate, Invisalign treatment is the way to go. As you can see, clear aligners will blend in easily with your teeth. This makes them the obvious choice for discreet treatment from orthodontists and dentists alike.

You know after moving to Anchorage not knowing anybody and finding these guys on the internet I was in and out in an hour and 30 minutes for the crack molar. Now that I'm relocating to Seattle I'd even come back up here just to see these guys thanks MSD

Am I an Invisalign Candidate?

Teenagers and adults can be eligible for Invisalign. It's ideal for patients with mild to moderate misalignment and crookedness. For more severe cases of misalignment or bite issues, you may be a better candidate for traditional braces. Because each case is different, you can only know for certain by visiting our dental office in Anchorage or Eagle River, AK, for a free aligner consultation.

How Does Invisalign Work?

We offer free consultations and free second opinions.
We offer free consultations and free second opinions.

Consultation

At our Eagle River or Anchorage dental office, your dentist will assess your candidacy, design a treatment plan, and answer all your questions.

Scans

Next, we'll capture precise images of your teeth and gums using a scanner.

Aligner Creation

Your scans will be sent out to a trusted lab, where all your custom aligners will be made.

In-Office Fitting

You'll pick up your aligners and likely have an in-office fitting.

Wearing Your Aligners

For your treatment, you'll wear your clear aligners on a schedule, switching them out as directed. You'll need to keep them in for about 22 hours a day.

Check-Ups

Throughout the process, you'll visit our dentist for appointments on your progress. Once your teeth have finished shifting into position with aligners, you're ready to enjoy your new smile.

Retainer

Wearing your retainer as directed is the secret to maintaining your results.

Covering the Cost of Clear Aligners

Insurance coverage for Invisalign is fairly rare, but you or your child may be eligible if aligners are crucial for your health. Even if that's not possible, we accept most major credit cards, as well as flexible CareCredit® financing
