It is wonderful that you are exploring ways to achieve your dream smile. Here at Wheaton Orthodontic Center, we are honored to be a Diamond Plus Invisalign® provider — a distinction that places us among the top 1% of providers in North America. While our credentials show our dedication to excellence, what matters most to us is your comfort and confidence. Dr. Laurie and our team are here to walk you through the process, helping you decide if these discreet, comfortable Invisalign® aligners are the right choice for your lifestyle.
Is Invisalign Treatment Right for You?
The best way to know for sure is to have a simple, no-pressure conversation with our team. We would love to welcome you to our office, answer your questions, and map out your unique path to a beautiful smile.
Options Designed for You
Every smile is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach to your care. Whether you are a teen looking for a more flexible option than metal braces or an adult seeking a subtle way to straighten your teeth, you have choices.
Invisalign First for Growing Smiles
Some younger patients may benefit from Invisalign First, a clear aligner option designed for children whose smiles are still developing. This treatment can help guide early tooth movement, create room for incoming permanent teeth, and support healthy bite development without brackets or wires.
Dr. Laurie will carefully evaluate your child’s teeth, bite, and growth before recommending any treatment. If Invisalign First is the right fit, we will explain the plan clearly and help your child feel comfortable every step of the way.
Invisalign Aligners for Teens
We know that being a teenager can be busy and demanding. Invisalign aligners are a popular choice because they are removable, making it easier to keep your teeth clean and continue enjoying your favorite snacks without the hassle of wires or brackets.
Because every teen’s bite is different, we use advanced 3D technology, like the iTero™ scanner, to create a custom roadmap for your smile before we even begin. Many teens find that they can achieve their goals in less time than they might expect, often with fewer office visits, leaving more time for what truly matters to you.
Invisalign Treatment for Adults
You are never too old to invest in your confidence. Invisalign treatment is a fantastic fit for busy, active adults who want to straighten their teeth without disrupting their professional or social lives. The ability to remove your aligners for special events, meetings, or meals offers a level of freedom that many of our patients truly appreciate. Best of all, treatment is often comparable in price to braces, and we are here to help you navigate pricing and payment plans that fit your budget.
Smile Express®
For those who want a straighter smile with the convenience of remote care, we offer the Smile Express system. It is a wonderful way to achieve results in as little as six months1, all while keeping the doctor-directed oversight you deserve.
Invisalign® Treatment Reviews
Everyone’s so nice and helpful with the whole process! I was so nervous to start Invisalign but they’ve made the process so easy. Diana helped me at my appointment today and was great! Thank you 😊
I had a seamless experience with Wheaton Orthodontics. The staff was competent, professional and caring. I am very satisfied with my results utilizing invisalign via Smile Express which is offered here.
Update: Smile 10/10 treatment completed!I went in today for my consultation for Invisalign with Dr Laurie. From the moment that I walked in the office I was greeted, and welcomed by the staff with kindness and smiles. Dr Laurie is such a genuinely sweet person. You can tell she is so passionate about what she does and helping patients achieve their dental goals. Im really excited to start treatment here and I am so grateful that I happened to find this office off of a google search. I will definitely be recommending this location to others.
Couldn't say enough wonderful things about Wheaton Ortho. We put one child through braces with Dr Allen and her teeth still look beautiful! Our 2nd child did braces now with Dr Laurie and I am also doing Invisalign! The whole team is amazing and every time we are there it's always a fun experience. My son loves the snacks after his appointments, and I don't mind them either!
As an adult being treated with invisalign here has been a very positive experience. Staff friendly and helpful. Treatment process easy and costs are affordable. Best of all I'm getting positive results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my aligners?
Keeping your aligners fresh is simple. Rinse them as soon as you take them out, and use the recommended Invisalign® cleaning crystals daily to keep them clear and bacteria-free. A gentle brush can help sweep away any remaining debris.
How long do I wear each set?
Typically, you will switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, depending on your personalized treatment plan. We will guide you on exactly when to move to your next set during your visits.
Can I play sports or attend special events?
Absolutely. One of the best things about Invisalign treatment is that it fits right into your life. If you have a big game, you can wear a mouthguard over your teeth, or simply remove your aligners for a few hours if you have a special occasion.
How often will I visit the office?
We love seeing our patients, but we know you are busy! With Invisalign treatment, check-ups are typically short and occur every four to six weeks. If you prefer even more convenient progress checks, ask us about our remote care options.
What are TADs?
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small anchors sometimes used to help guide teeth into their correct positions more efficiently. Not everyone needs them, but if Dr. Laurie feels they would benefit your specific treatment, she will discuss that with you in detail.
