Invisodontics is NOT Invisalign…It is much more!


Invisodontics is NOT Invisalign…It is much more!

Invisalign has become a household word these days.  Align Technology, Inc., the manufacture of Invisalign, has invested millions in marketing and public awareness of their product.  So much so that it is my feeling that the general public identifies their product with the service of getting their teeth actually straightened.  That has been very likely an intentional marketing goal.

Invisodontics is the service of using invisible means to straightening misaligned and malfunctioning teeth and bites.  An Invisodontist will use many types of inconspicuous appliances to properly accomplish that end.  Some may even be fixed in the mouth similarly to fixed visible braces but in a way that is unnoticeable.  As well as the more well know appliance methods which are removable, like Invisalign.  They are all “tools” of the trade.

Invisalign is to an Invisodontist as a hammer is to a carpenter…a primary tool that is indispensable on the job.  Yet, just because one knows how to pound in a nail with a hammer does not imply that person is qualified to build and install fine custom cabinetry.  So goes it with Invisalign.  There are different levels of expertise when it comes to creating results with a particular tool.  An Invisodontist has made it their life’s work through education and dedicated practice experience in the realm of invisible orthodontics to make the most out of a very technologically advanced tool like Invisalign.

Use of Invisalign does not make one an Invisodontist…it is just a product or a tool used in the practice of Invisodontics.

So don't be lead to believe when you see this logo:


That it is any different than seeing:
