Invisalign® in Birmingham, MI
Choosing Invisalign means working with an experienced orthodontist who understands how to move teeth safely and predictably. At Degenhardt Orthodontics, Invisalign treatment is planned and monitored by an orthodontist serving Birmingham, Michigan and the surrounding communities.
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners to straighten teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. Treatment is designed to address crowding, spacing, and bite concerns while fitting comfortably into daily life.
Invisalign is one of three clear aligner systems we offer, alongside Spark and Angel Aligner. Dr. Steve will walk you through which one suits your case at your first visit, since the right system depends on how your teeth need to move rather than on the name on the box.
Almost Invisible
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, smooth plastic and are designed to be virtually invisible when worn. Most people will not even notice you are in orthodontic treatment, allowing you to straighten your teeth with confidence instead of drawing attention to your smile.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can continue enjoying your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine, helping support better oral hygiene throughout treatment.
With Invisalign, treatment works around your life, not the other way around.

Is Invisalign a Good Fit for Teens?
Teen aligner plans include features built for growing mouths, including compliance indicators that let parents see whether trays are actually being worn and eruption tabs that leave room for second molars to come in. The trade-off is wear time, since aligners only work when they are in the mouth. Our guide to choosing between clear aligners and braces for teens walks through how families usually make that call.
Talk to a Birmingham, MI Orthodontist About Invisalign
For Invisalign to be effective, aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours per day. One of the benefits of Invisalign is the ability to remove aligners for meals or special occasions while continuing treatment as planned.
As with traditional braces, a retainer is typically recommended after Invisalign treatment to help maintain long-term results. Invisalign may not be appropriate for every orthodontic case, and Dr. Steve can help determine the best option based on your individual needs.
