When you’re looking for an orthodontist in Louisville or Erie, we’re here for you. At Caraway Orthodontics, our goal is to use the most advanced tools to help you get the smile you’ve always dreamed of. We stay up to date with the latest technology so we can offer you options that go far beyond just traditional metal braces. One of our most popular choices is Invisalign treatment, a personalized way to straighten your bite that fits right into your everyday life.
What Is the Invisalign System?
Invisalign clear aligners use advanced digital technology to give you a treatment that is both effective and convenient. Instead of using braces with the metal wires and brackets you might be familiar with, this system uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth. One of the best parts? They’re virtually invisible, so you can feel confident showing off your smile even while you're still in treatment. You just wear them for about 22 hours a day, and you’re on your way to a great result.
Why You’ll Love Invisalign Treatment
We want your journey to be as comfortable as possible, and Invisalign treatment offers some great perks that make the process easy:
- Discreet Look: The aligners are so clear that most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.
- Simple Cleaning: Since you can take them out, your brushing and flossing routine can stay the same.
- No Food Rules: You remove your aligners before you eat, so you can still enjoy all your favorite snacks.
- Comfort: Custom-built for your smile and made from smooth plastic material, these aligners are designed to feel great against your cheeks and gums.
- Fewer Appointments: Without wires or brackets to worry about, you won’t have to visit us for "pokes" or repairs, saving you time.
The First Step Is Easy
We’ve mapped out the process so you always know what to expect. You’re in good hands with us every step of the way:
- Your First Visit: We’ll meet at our Erie or Louisville office to see if Invisalign treatment is the right fit for you. While it’s a wonderful option for many adults, we also offer Invisalign treatment for teens for our younger patients.
- Advanced Scanning: If we decide to move forward, we’ll use our iTero™ scanner to take a quick, digital map of your teeth. This innovative diagnostic tool is much more comfortable than old-fashioned impressions.
- Your Personalized Plan: Dr. Caraway uses those digital images to design your specific plan. A series of custom aligners is then made just for you to help straighten your teeth.
- Gradual Progress: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about seven to ten days before moving to the next one. Slowly but surely, you’ll see your teeth moving into their ideal positions.
- The Big Reveal: Once you finish your last set of aligners, your treatment is complete! From there, we’ll set you up with retainers to make sure your beautiful new smile stays right where it belongs.
Invisalign Treatment Reviews
I had the pleasure yesterday of coming into Caraway orthodontics to inquire about Invisalign treatment where I was guided through everything by Christina and Lynn. I felt so welcomed heard and informed by them, as a dental assistant myself it was one of the best in office experiences I’ve had! Dr. Caraway was also very welcoming informant and thorough in his exam to determine what the best course of action was for treatment. I left feeling confident in my treatment plan as well as the office I chose to start treatment with! I look forward to seeing them again and continuing my journey! Thank you Caraway orthodontics for the amazing care you provide to whoever walks through those front doors!
Three family members have been seen or are currently being treated with braces (both Invisalign and traditional). Dr. Caraway is patient - centered with great communication. He and his staff have all been extremely friendly and made each of one of my family members feel like a part of their family. All of our treatment plans have been successful and on-time. We've never had a problem with scheduling - they are extremely flexible. Strongly recommend without hesitation!
Friendly, kind, cheerful people you actually look forward to seeing at appointments! Both offices have a refreshing, beautiful decor I enjoy being in. And they know their stuff when it comes to your teeth. Very pleased with my Invisalign experience. Staff even helped entertain my toddler when he accompanied me. Couldn't ask for better service!
Great job with both of my children. My oldest attempted Invisalign, but couldn’t maintain it and we switched to classic braces. I thought the transition was handled well. My youngest child had a missing tooth and the other teeth had grown around it. He required more complex care to get the adult tooth in place.Office is very well run and I find everyone pleasant. Easy to schedule.I’m very grateful to Dr Caraway and his team.
Excellent service! Our entire family received braces and Invisalign here, and we really appreciate the hard work of this fantastic team. Thank you!
