If you’ve always wanted a straighter, healthier smile but prefer to avoid the look and feel of traditional metal braces, Invisalign® may be the perfect solution. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to transform your smile confidently and discreetly. At River City Orthodontics, Dr. Richard Boyd is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive experience treating teens and adults using this advanced clear-aligner system.

Today’s patients are searching for orthodontic options that blend seamlessly into their daily lives. Invisalign fits that demand, offering comfort, flexibility, and remarkable results without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.

A Modern, Braceless Alternative to Traditional Braces

Imagine improving your smile without noticeable orthodontic appliances. Invisalign makes that possible. The aligners are crafted from a smooth, clear material that fits comfortably over your teeth, guiding them into alignment with gentle, precise movements.

At River City Orthodontics, we personalize every Invisalign treatment plan using advanced digital imaging and 3D modeling. Whether you’re exploring Invisalign for yourself or for your teen, Dr. Boyd provides a complimentary evaluation to determine whether clear aligners are the right fit for your smile goals.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a sequence of custom-designed, removable clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Built on advanced 3D scanning technology, Invisalign offers an accurate, comfortable, and predictable orthodontic experience.

Benefits of Invisalign Include:

• Nearly invisible appearance – Most people will never notice you’re wearing aligners unless you tell them.
• Smooth, comfortable design – No brackets or wires means less irritation to your cheeks, lips, and gums.
• Customized fit – Each aligner is created from a digital scan of your teeth for precise tooth movement and a comfortable fit.
• Removable design – Eat, drink, brush, floss, and enjoy special occasions without restrictions.
• Fast, predictable results – Most patients begin seeing improvements quickly, and many complete treatment within 9–15 months.

Invisalign is designed to fit your lifestyle, making orthodontics easier and more flexible than ever.

Why Patients Choose Invisalign

More and more teens and adults in Glen Allen and surrounding areas are choosing Invisalign for its blend of convenience, aesthetics, and effectiveness. Here’s why:

• Discreet treatment – Perfect for professionals, athletes, public speakers, brides, and anyone who wants a subtle orthodontic option.
• No food restrictions – Remove your aligners to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about broken brackets.
• Simple oral care – Brushing and flossing remain easy since the aligners come out.
• Minimal lifestyle changes – Continue sports, music, work, and social activities just as you always have.
• Fewer appointments – Because there are no wires to adjust, visits are typically short, easy, and spaced further apart.

Invisalign aligns beautifully with busy schedules—and with the needs of adults and teens who prefer a low-profile treatment experience.

How Invisalign Works?

Your Invisalign journey begins with a digital scan of your teeth using advanced imaging technology. This scan allows Dr. Boyd to map out each step of your treatment with precision.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Custom Aligners Made for Your Smile

You’ll receive several sets of aligners, each uniquely shaped to move your teeth gently and accurately.

2. Wear Each Set for 1–2 Weeks

Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day for optimal results. Every 1–2 weeks, you switch to the next set.

3. Gradual, Comfortable Tooth Movement

Each aligner introduces small, controlled shifts. You’ll start noticing improvements within weeks.

4. A Straight, Healthy Smile

In just a few months, many patients see significant results. Most complete their Invisalign treatment within one year, though treatment time varies by individual needs.
