Invisalign® & Orthodontics in Columbia, SC

At WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry, we use two proven methods to create the ideal location for each tooth inside your mouth: Invisalign® and traditional orthodontics - braces for our Columbia, SC patients. Virtually invisible and extremely convenient, Invisalign allows you to improve your smile without having to worry about your appearance. Invisalign offers:

• Advanced Comfort — no metal brackets or harsh wires
• Unmatched Convenience — with removable aligners, you pop out your Invisalign® braces to eat, brush and floss, then put them back in!
• Faster Alignment — the average Invisalign case lasts 6-12 months; that’s 33-50 percent faster than traditional orthodontics!
• Aesthetic Transparency — no one will ever know that you are wearing aligners; they are so thin and clear
• Better Hygiene — maintain your normal brushing and flossing, with convenient removable aligners

In Columbia, SC Invisalign® may not be for everyone, however. Dr. Griffin will recommend braces, or traditional orthodontics, for Columbia, SC patients who need serious adjustments to their bite. We recommend that you visit our office to explore the ideal position of your bite and teeth.

Convenient, Comfortable & Effective Bite Alignment

Invisalign is a series of consecutive, removable, transparent aligners that straighten your teeth without compromising the beauty of your smile.

It is an ideal solution for correcting overbites, underbites or teeth that are gapped, crowded, misaligned, rotated, broken or fractured. Whereas metal brackets only pull from one angle, these invisible aligners can gently shift teeth from multiple angles.

The one important prerequisite for Invisalign is that your mouth must be free from cavities. If you are cavity-free, Columbia, SC Invisalign dentist Dr. Griffin will begin the process with digital photos, x-rays and impressions. The impressions are scanned into our CAD/CAM computer, where they are manipulated in a 3D environment where you can see the changes taking place.

Would you like to enhance your smile by improving your bite? Traditional orthodontics and Invisalign can help you do just that. Call our Columbia SC orthodontics office today for a consultation.
