Straighten Your Smile Without the Metal
Invisalign aligners are an effective and discreet orthodontic treatment worn comfortably over your teeth to gradually adjust alignment and spacing. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign lets you straighten your smile without wires or brackets, making it a popular choice for patients who want results without a noticeable change to their appearance. It has also become a preferred option for adults balancing treatment with work and family life, since the aligners are removable and require far fewer lifestyle adjustments than metal braces.
At Sumner Dental Group in Gallatin, TN, your Invisalign aligners are custom-made using detailed models of both your current teeth and the smile you hope to achieve. From there, treatment becomes a straightforward, predictable process that fits into your everyday routine. Our team stays closely involved throughout your treatment, so you always know what to expect and how close you are to your final results.

Orthodontic Issues Invisalign Can Treat
Crowding
When there is not enough room in the jaw for teeth to align properly, causing teeth to overlap or twist
Gaps or Spacing Issues
Noticeable spaces between teeth caused by missing teeth, small teeth, or natural growth patterns
Mild Overbite
When the upper front teeth extend too far over the lower front teeth
Mild Underbite
When the lower front teeth sit further forward than the upper front teeth
Crossbite
When one or more upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when biting down
Open Bite
When the upper and lower teeth do not touch when the mouth is closedDuring your consultation, our team will evaluate your smile to confirm whether your specific orthodontic concern is a good fit for Invisalign or if another treatment approach would better serve your needs.
How Your Smile Gradually Shifts Into Place
Invisalign works through a series of custom aligners that each make a small, precise adjustment to your teeth. Here is what the process looks like from start to finish:
Digital Scanning and Planning
We take detailed scans of your teeth and use them to map out your entire treatment, from your starting position to your final result.

Receiving Your Custom Aligner Series
Based on that plan, a series of custom-made clear aligners is created specifically for your smile.
2
Wearing Each Set of Aligners
You will switch to a new set of aligners about every two weeks, with each set shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position.

Progress Checks
Periodic visits to our Gallatin, TN office let us confirm your teeth are moving as planned and make adjustments if needed.

Reaching Your Final Results
Most patients complete treatment in about 20 to 40 weeks, though timelines vary depending on the complexity of your case.

Invisalign works well for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, though it is best suited for certain situations. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues
- A minor bite misalignment, such as a slight overbite or underbite
- A preference for a discreet treatment option over visible braces
- The discipline to wear your aligners consistently throughout the day
- Overall healthy teeth and gums
For more complex bite issues, our team will let you know during your consultation whether Invisalign is the right fit or if another orthodontic option would serve you better.
