The Benefits Of Invisalign Therapy

As an Ames cosmetic dentist, we provide comprehensive Invisalign clear aligner therapy to address mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. This modern approach offers significant advantages over traditional braces for many adult patients.

Correcting Crowding And Spacing

We use Invisalign as part of our cosmetic dentistry services to gently shift overlapping teeth into their proper positions and close unwanted gaps. This creates a more balanced, attractive smile while improving overall alignment.

Improving Bite Alignment

We use Invisalign to address mild overbites, underbites, and crossbites with customized clear aligners. As part of our cosmetic dentistry services in Ames, correcting these alignment issues can help reduce unnecessary enamel wear and improve everyday chewing function.

Enhanced Oral Hygiene

One of the benefits of Invisalign is that you can easily remove your aligners to maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine. This helps reduce the risk of plaque buildup and tooth decay while keeping your smile healthy throughout treatment.

Superior Daily Comfort

We provide Invisalign clear aligners made from smooth, flexible plastic that will not irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces. As part of our cosmetic dentistry services, Invisalign offers a comfortable and discreet way to improve your smile.

A Relaxing Path To A Straighter Smile

We understand that choosing Invisalign as an adult can feel intimidating. That is why our approach to cosmetic dentistry focuses on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience from start to finish. While we create your custom Invisalign treatment plan using advanced digital scanning technology, you can relax with our complimentary comfort menu, which includes warm blankets and soothing paraffin hand dips.

I have been going to Ames Center For Cosmetic & Family Dentistry for many years. Since the first visit, the quality of care and compassion is truly evident. Dr. Amie and her team are seriously the best! The reception staff are always so friendly and very helpful. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful team be apart of my care. In addition to routine cleanings, Dr. Amie was able to help me when one of my bonded retainers started becoming loose. They always go above and beyond for their patients. I would highly recommend this place for anyone needing dental care, you will be in the best hands. Thank you for all you do!

Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable.
Efficient. Today Anna helped me get my Invisalign checkup at same time as my cleaning so I could skip a month off check-ins, especially helpful since I planned to be out of state. I didn’t bring it up though. She noticed it when looking to book my next appt and suggested it to Amie. Amie was able to work that into her day and I still had time for a paraffin wax for my hands. Very friendly staff who work together as a team and make sure you know your plan and what to expect at future appts. Thank you all for the great care!!

I always enjoy going into the office. EVERYONE is so nice. I learned about Dr. Amie because I needed an appliance made for my sleep apnea; which is far better than putting one of those apparatuses around my head and having air forced down my nose. The appliance is by far, a better choice. Dr. Amie knows her stuff. She has been great through the whole process and it is working well.
