At Shelly Ereth Barone, we proudly provide Invisalign clear aligners in Metairie, Louisiana, to help you achieve the beautifully aligned smile you have always wanted without compromising your confidence or lifestyle.

One of the standout features of the Invisalign system is its nearly invisible design. The aligners are made from clear, BPA-free plastic, ensuring they remain discreet throughout your treatment. Whether you are at work, school or social events, Invisalign aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces. This innovative approach helps you maintain your confidence while working toward a more harmonious smile.

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gums precisely. The smooth material eliminates the irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires, providing enhanced comfort throughout your treatment. Additionally, the aligners are removable, making it easy to eat your favorite foods, brush and floss. Unlike traditional braces, there are no dietary restrictions and maintaining excellent oral hygiene is effortless.

The Invisalign process is designed for efficiency. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, our dentist and team creates a personalized treatment plan that maps the movement of your teeth. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their optimal positions. Many patients find that Invisalign therapy offers shorter treatment times compared to braces, and fewer office visits are required, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Invisalign aligners are suitable for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps and mild to moderate bite problems. Our experienced team will evaluate your needs and determine if Invisalign treatment is the right solution for you.
