Invisalign has become one of the most popular orthodontic treatments for both teens and adults, and for good reason. Clear aligners make it possible to straighten teeth comfortably and discreetly, without the look or feel of traditional braces. But with so many dental and orthodontic offices offering Invisalign, you may be wondering: how do you choose the right Invisalign provider for yourself or your child?

Your provider plays a huge role in your treatment success, so it’s important to select someone with the right training, experience, and approach to care. Here are the key factors to consider.

1. Look for Specialized Training

While many general dentists can offer Invisalign, orthodontists are the true specialists when it comes to tooth and jaw alignment. Orthodontists complete 2–3 years of additional training beyond dental school to focus solely on moving teeth and correcting bites.

Choosing an orthodontist means you’re working with a provider who understands even the most complex cases and can ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

2. Choose a Board-Certified Orthodontist

Not all orthodontists are board-certified, but at Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics, all of our orthodontists are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).

Board certification requires passing rigorous exams and presenting real patient cases to demonstrate skill and expertise. This distinction shows that your provider has gone above and beyond to deliver the highest quality of care.

3. Ask About Experience with Invisalign

Every smile is unique, and Invisalign can treat a wide range of issues—from minor crowding to more complex bite concerns. When choosing a provider, ask questions like:

• How many Invisalign patients have you treated?
• Do you treat both teens and adults?
• Have you managed cases similar to mine (or my child’s)?

Providers with extensive Invisalign experience will be better equipped to create a customized plan and help you achieve the best results.

4. Look for Advanced Technology

A good Invisalign provider uses the latest tools to make treatment easier and more precise. At our practice, we use 3D digital scans instead of messy impressions. These scans allow us to create a highly accurate treatment plan and even show you a digital preview of your future smile before treatment begins.

5. Consider Convenience & Support

Orthodontic treatment is a journey, so choose a provider that makes the process simple and stress-free. Things to look for include:

• Multiple office locations for easy scheduling
• Flexible appointment times for busy families
• A friendly, supportive team that’s available to answer questions

At our offices in Montgomery, Prattville, and Pike Road, we’re committed to making treatment convenient for you and your family.

6. Trust Your Gut

Beyond credentials and technology, you should feel comfortable and confident with your provider. Orthodontic treatment is a partnership, and having a caring team by your side makes all the difference.

At your consultation, pay attention to how the orthodontist listens to your concerns, explains your options, and makes you feel supported.
