Invisalign in Chandler, AZ
A straighter smile is not only more attractive—it also promotes healthier teeth and gums. At Robert F. Walker Jr. DDS, we proudly offer Invisalign in Chandler as a modern alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gently shift your teeth into their proper positions. With this system, patients can enjoy orthodontic treatment that is comfortable, discreet, and effective without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign treatment relies on advanced 3D imaging and precision design to create aligners tailored specifically for your smile. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks, gradually moving teeth into alignment. Over the course of treatment, you’ll switch to new sets as your smile continues to improve.
The aligners are made from a patented, medical-grade thermoplastic material that is clear, durable, and biocompatible. This ensures comfort and safety while providing the flexibility needed to shift teeth effectively. Best of all, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?
The length of treatment varies by case, but many patients complete Invisalign in as little as 12–18 months. Minor adjustments may be achieved faster, while complex cases can take longer. During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized timeline based on your goals and dental needs.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Both Invisalign and braces are effective, but many patients prefer Invisalign for the lifestyle flexibility it offers.
• |
No Food Restrictions - Simply remove aligners to enjoy all foods, unlike braces that limit sticky or crunchy snacks.
|
• |
Comfort and Aesthetics - No metal brackets or wires; aligners are smooth and clear.
