Invisalign uses a customized series of clear plastic aligners to move your teeth gradually into healthier positions. The aligners fit closely over the teeth and can be removed for meals, brushing, flossing, photos, sports, and important events.
There are no fixed brackets or wires, so patients can continue eating their usual foods and clean their teeth normally throughout treatment. The clear material also makes Invisalign appealing to adults and teens who want a lower-profile alternative to braces.
Each aligner is designed to complete a specific stage of movement. As you progress through the series, your teeth move closer to the positions mapped out in your treatment plan. Dr. Walton monitors the fit of the aligners and adjusts the plan when needed to keep treatment moving safely and effectively.
Explore Invisalign Treatment at Walton OrthodonticsInvisalign may be suitable for patients with concerns such as:
Clear aligners are not automatically the best choice for every patient. The complexity of the tooth movement, jaw relationship, oral health, and ability to wear the aligners consistently all affect candidacy.
Dr. Walton evaluates your teeth and bite before recommending a treatment. Patients with more complex concerns may benefit from braces or hybrid orthodontics, which combines elements of fixed braces and clear aligners to accomplish movements that aligners alone may not predictably achieve.
Invisalign combines effective orthodontic planning with the flexibility many patients want in their daily lives.
The aligners are designed to blend with your smile, making treatment less noticeable during school, work, meetings, photographs, and social activities.
Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out before eating. You will not have the food restrictions commonly associated with fixed braces.
You can brush and floss without cleaning around brackets or wires. Maintaining good oral hygiene throughout treatment helps protect your teeth and gums.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic without metal components that may rub against the cheeks or lips.
Walton Orthodontics provides Invisalign for adults who want treatment that fits professional and social commitments. Suitable younger patients can also explore Invisalign for teens.
Successful clear aligner treatment depends on the orthodontist planning and supervising the tooth movement—not simply on the aligner brand.
Dr. Walton has treated children, teens, and adults across the Atlanta area for over four decades. That experience helps him recognize when Invisalign is appropriate, anticipate treatment challenges, and determine when another approach may produce a stronger result.
Walton Orthodontics is a single-location, one-orthodontist practice. You will not be moved between multiple offices or handed off to a rotating group of providers. Dr. Walton remains closely involved throughout your care.
Your plan begins with the changes you want to see. Dr. Walton evaluates your alignment, bite, facial balance, and long-term oral health before mapping out the recommended tooth movements.
Patients who are not ideal candidates for conventional Invisalign may still have clear aligner or combined-treatment options. Our team can help you compare Invisalign, clear aligners, hybrid treatment, and braces without pushing every smile into the same solution.
Your first consultation includes an examination, digital X-ray, treatment discussion, and review of your options at no charge.
Dr. Walton listens to your concerns, examines your teeth and bite, and determines whether Invisalign can accomplish your goals.
Detailed photographs, X-rays, and three-dimensional dental records provide the information needed to plan controlled tooth movement and create your customized aligners.
Your aligners are fitted, and our team explains how to insert, remove, clean, and store them. Most patients are instructed to wear their aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day.
You move through the prescribed aligner sequence according to your individual schedule. Each new set continues the planned movement.
Dr. Walton checks that the aligners fit correctly and that your teeth are tracking as expected. Appointments may be spaced several weeks apart, depending on your plan.
After active treatment, retainers help keep your teeth in their corrected positions. Dr. Walton will recommend a retention schedule based on your needs.
The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your alignment, the number of aligners required, expected treatment length, and whether additional procedures or refinements are needed.
Your free consultation includes a clear discussion of the recommended treatment and expected fees. Walton Orthodontics provides flexible financing, coordinates applicable insurance benefits, and offers monthly payment options that can make care easier to manage.

He is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and has contributed research published in the American Journal of Orthodontics.

Most patients need to wear their aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day. They should generally be removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Treatment time varies with the complexity of the case and how consistently the aligners are worn. Dr. Walton will provide a personalized estimate after examining your teeth and bite.
Yes. Invisalign can be a good option for responsible teens who can follow the daily wear schedule. Candidacy still depends on the type and complexity of the orthodontic problem.
Invisalign can treat several types of bite concerns in suitable cases. More complex problems may require braces, additional appliances, or a hybrid approach.
Some patients need small, tooth-colored attachments that give the aligners extra grip for specific movements. Their number, shape, and placement depend on the treatment plan.
Yes. Teeth can shift after any orthodontic treatment. Retainers help preserve the new alignment and protect the time and money invested in your smile.
