At McNamara Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign clear aligners as a modern, effective way to straighten teeth for children, teens, and adults. Invisalign uses advanced digital technology to gently guide teeth into proper alignment while allowing patients to maintain their normal routines. With fewer food restrictions, easier oral hygiene, and a discreet appearance, Invisalign has become a popular teeth-straightening option for families seeking flexibility and comfort.
Under the care of Dr. Laurie McNamara McClatchey, each Invisalign treatment plan is customized to support long-term oral health, proper bite function, and confident smiles at every stage of life.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead of traditional braces. Each aligner is custom-made using 3D digital imaging and is designed to move teeth gradually and predictably over time. Aligners are worn for most of the day and changed periodically as treatment progresses.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can eat comfortably, brush and floss normally, and enjoy greater flexibility throughout treatment.
Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign offers several advantages compared to traditional braces, making it an appealing option for many patients:
Nearly invisible appearance for discreet treatment
Smooth, comfortable aligners with no wires or brackets
Removable design for easier brushing and flossing
No food restrictions during meals
Fewer in-office visits compared to braces
Customized digital treatment planning for predictable results
These benefits make Invisalign a popular choice for patients looking for effective teeth straightening without major lifestyle disruptions.

Invisalign for Children (Phase I / Invisalign First)
Invisalign First is designed specifically for younger children who need early orthodontic intervention. This Phase I treatment helps guide dental development while accommodating growing jaws and emerging permanent teeth.
Invisalign First can help address:
Crowding and spacing issues
Narrow dental arches
Early bite concerns
Space creation for permanent teeth
Treatment begins with a simple digital scan, allowing parents and children to clearly understand the treatment plan from the start. Aligners are designed for smaller teeth and changing dentition, making them comfortable and effective during early growth stages. Because aligners are removable, children can continue enjoying their favorite foods and maintain consistent oral hygiene habits.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign for teens offers an effective orthodontic solution during the adolescent years, when most permanent teeth have erupted and alignment concerns become more apparent. Teen treatment plans are designed to balance effectiveness with confidence and busy schedules.
Teen patients benefit from:
- A discreet appearance during school and social activities
- Removable aligners that fit sports and extracurricular routines
- Digital monitoring and predictable tooth movement
- Reduced risk of broken brackets or emergency visits
- Invisalign teen aligners support both alignment and bite correction while helping teens feel confident throughout treatment.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Every Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation. Using digital scans, Dr. Laurie McNamara McClatchey designs a personalized treatment plan that maps out tooth movement from start to finish.
Patients receive a series of aligners, each worn for approximately one to two weeks. Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Progress is monitored at regular intervals to ensure treatment stays on track.
What is The Cost of Invisalign?
Your smile is an important investment. The cost of Invisalign treatment varies based on the complexity of alignment concerns, treatment length, and individual goals. During your consultation, a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate will be provided so you know exactly what to expect.
