Take the first step toward a confident smile with clear aligner treatment at LS Family Dental, right here in Peabody, MA.
Invisalign helps you straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably while fitting around your daily life in Peabody.
The clear plastic aligners sit flush against your teeth. Most people won't notice you're wearing them at all.
Take them out to eat, drink, brush, or for a special occasion. That kind of freedom doesn't exist with metal braces.
Because you remove the aligners before meals, nothing is off-limits. Eat whatever you want throughout your treatment.
Brushing and flossing work exactly as they normally would. No wires to navigate means a lower risk of cavities during treatment.
Invisalign requires fewer check-in appointments than traditional braces, making it a practical choice for busy schedules.
Invisalign addresses crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites — ideal for mild to moderate cases.
The smooth SmartTrack plastic causes far less irritation than metal brackets and wires against the inside of your cheeks.
We show you a digital simulation of your expected outcome before your first aligner is made, so you know what to expect.
Invisalign works well for most teens and adults dealing with mild to moderate alignment concerns. There is no single answer that works for every smile — your candidacy depends on your bite, gum health, and ability to commit to wearing the aligners consistently. At LS Family Dental, we give you an honest assessment based on what we actually see, not what's easiest to sell.
Aligners need to be worn 20 to 22 hours every day for treatment to stay on schedule. Our team at LS Family Dental will always give you an honest picture of what Invisalign can achieve and whether it's truly the right fit for your smile.
A little discipline goes a long way here's what to keep in mind day to day and throughout your treatment at LS Family Dental.
Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day without exception Always brush before putting aligners back in after eating Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water each time you remove them Store them in their case when not in use to avoid loss or damage Avoid drinking anything other than water while aligners are in.
Switch to your next aligner set every one to two weeks as directed Attend all scheduled progress check-ins at our Peabody office Contact us if an aligner feels significantly off or causes unusual pain Wear your retainer consistently once treatment is complete Maintain your regular cleanings during Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into position. Each set applies light pressure to specific teeth, and you move to the next tray every one to two weeks until treatment is complete.
Most patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns complete treatment in 12 to 18 months. Simpler cases can take as little as six months. We give you a realistic timeline during your consultation at LS Family Dental.
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new aligner — this means it's working. There are no sharp brackets or wires, so the day-to-day experience is generally much more comfortable than traditional braces.
Cost varies based on your case complexity and treatment length. We go over everything transparently during your consultation. Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that may apply, and we're happy to help you understand your coverage.
Yes. You remove your aligners before every meal, so there are no food restrictions at all. Just brush before putting them back in, and you're good to go.
