Invisalign® in Carmel, IN

If you’ve been wanting a straighter smile but aren’t interested in metal braces, Invisalign® clear aligners could be the perfect solution. At Lakewood Family Dental in Carmel, IN, we offer Invisalign® as a comfortable, discreet, and effective way to align your teeth and enhance your confidence. With Invisalign®, your teeth are gradually moved into place using a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made for your mouth. The aligners fit comfortably, are nearly invisible, and can be taken out when you eat or brush—making them an easy fit for your everyday life.

When You Might Need Invisalign®

Invisalign® can help with a variety of dental alignment issues, from simple cosmetic concerns to more noticeable bite problems. You might be a good candidate if you have:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Shifting teeth after previous orthodontic treatment

Because Invisalign® uses gentle, controlled movements, it’s a great choice for teens and adults who want a straighter smile without the appearance or restrictions of traditional braces.

The Invisalign® Process

Your Invisalign® journey begins with a consultation at our Carmel office, where we take digital scans of your teeth to create a precise treatment plan. You’ll even get to see a preview of your future smile before treatment starts.

Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll wear them for about 20–22 hours a day, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. Each set gradually moves your teeth closer to their ideal position.

You’ll visit our office for checkups every few weeks so we can monitor your progress and make sure everything is on track. Most treatments take about 6 to 18 months, depending on your specific case.
