Invisalign Clear Aligners A Modern Orthodontic Approach
Invisalign has changed how we think about orthodontic care. Rather than using uncomfortable and unsightly metal hardware to reposition your teeth, the Invisalign system uses a series of transparent plastic trays. At Family Dental Care in Flowood, MS, serving the greater Jackson area, Dr. Jan O'Keefe Belote oversees orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. She can create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the beautiful, straighter smile you desire.
Straighten Your Smile Discreetly With Invisalign
Dr. Claire Logan explains how Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth more comfortably and subtly than braces can. Both teens and adults can benefit from this modern orthodontic option. We can even create a digital model to show you what your newly aligned smile will look like at the end of treatment.
Invisalign Provides a Number of Benefits
Discreet Orthodontics
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great choice for public speakers, people with customer-facing jobs, or those who simply don't like the look of traditional orthodontics. Since aligners aren't noticeable, patients don't need to feel insecure in social situations.Comfortable Appliances
Patients who wear braces are always at risk of an unexpected poke from a wire or bracket. This can cause irritation and discomfort inside the mouth. In comparison, Invisalign clear aligners are smooth, simple, and pop on and off in seconds.Unrestricted Diet
Hungry and ready to eat? Patients with braces need to worry about what foods will damage their brackets, but with Invisalign, you can simply remove your clear aligners and enjoy your favorite sticky, crunchy, and gooey foods with no second thoughts.Easy Maintenance
With Invisalign, it's easy to take care of your teeth and stay on top of your dental health. Remove your clear aligners when you're ready to brush and floss. Do these activities as you would regularly, and clean your aligners each time to prevent any issues. This is significantly easier than trying to maneuver floss around braces.Boosted Confidence
Achieve straight teeth and a beautiful smile in around 12 months. Invisalign provides a new sense of control and freedom to straighten your teeth, with a stunning smile at the end to prove it. Patients feel more confident and enjoy a higher quality of life without having to worry about how their teeth look.Invisible Orthodontics See How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of transparent plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into place. This treatment can be provided by orthodontists and dentists alike, which makes it a great option for patients who want to pursue smile-straightening treatment at their trusted local dental practice rather than with a specialist.

View on GoogleThe Ideal Candidate for Invisalign
While Invisalign sounds like the ideal orthodontic treatment, it is not for everyone. During your initial consultation at our Flowood office, just east of Jackson, MS, Dr. O'Keefe Belote will review your dental needs, assess the condition of your smile, and discuss your concerns to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.
Mild or Moderate Cases
Invisalign treats mild or moderate malocclusion (improper bite), crowding, or gapped teeth. Dr. O'Keefe Belote may recommend traditional orthodontic treatment for patients with more extreme needs that Invisalign cannot address.
Good Oral Health
Patients need to be in good oral health before beginning treatment. We will need to address and treat any decay, infection, or gum disease before starting treatment. Along with a healthy mouth, patients must be able to care for their aligners on a daily basis.
Committed
Invisalign oral appliances are removable but must be worn at least 20 hours per day. You must be dedicated to wearing the aligners. This is essential, as failing to do so may result in more prolonged treatment. Patients should also take extra care to avoid losing their aligners.No Teeth Grinding
Patients who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) may not be eligible for Invisalign because this habit can wear down the chewing surfaces of the aligners, interfering with your treatment. Dr. O'Keefe Belote will assess your case and recommend an alternative treatment, such as braces, if necessary.
Decay? No Problem. We Gently Remove Cavities
Removing cavities is a prerequisite for receiving Invisalign clear aligners. Many dentists use dental drills to remove cavities, leading to pain and causing dental anxiety in patients. Our practice prioritizes Jackson's needs by completing cavity removal with air abrasion–utilizing air to clear out tooth decay with as little discomfort as possible.
Invisalign Attachments Make Treatment Possible for More Patients
If you're concerned that Invisalign may not be right for you because of the amount of correction you need, you still have options. Many of our Mississippi patients can qualify for Invisalign thanks to Invisalign attachments.
Invisalign attachments are tooth-colored "bumps" of resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. They give the aligner trays a firmer grip on the teeth, which in turn helps them provide additional force to achieve movement. Teeth that are rotated or otherwise affected by more complex misalignment can still be brought into proper position with Invisalign attachments.
If your orthodontic needs are especially complex, we also offer clear braces. These work much like traditional metal braces, but they use ceramic brackets and tooth-colored wires for a much more subtle look. When patients in Greater Jackson need orthodontic solutions, we can handle cases both simple and complex.

Invisalign treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete. At the end of the treatment process, you'll wear your last set of aligners or a new custom retainer to sleep to preserve your results.
Request Personalized Invisalign Treatment
If you're interested in Invisalign, it is very important to understand that this is not a cookie-cutter treatment. No two cases of misalignment are the same, meaning every patient requires individualized Invisalign treatment. Thankfully for patients throughout the Jackson area, this type of customized care is something Family Dental Care prides itself on.
In fact, the newest dentist to join our team, Dr. Claire Logan, says that the unique care we tailor for each patient is one of the things that drew her to join our practice.

Invisalign Aftercare
To maintain your straight teeth and new smile, you must wear the last set of clear aligners or a pair of retainers to sleep. Retainers help prevent any shifting or movement that may occur in the mouth, ensuring that your teeth stay where they are. It is vital to follow these instructions, as neglecting to do so may eventually require costly retreatment. Patients should also stay on top of their routine dental visits and practice good dental hygiene at home, including cleaning their aligner trays and retainers each day.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The average cost of Invisalign treatment is $3,000 to $5,000 at our Jackson-area dental practice. Because Invisalign is a truly personalized orthodontic treatment experience, costs vary per patient. Your final costs may influenced by factors like whether you required any preparatory dentistry and the length of your treatment plan.
We're pleased to tell you that many dental insurance plans will provide coverage for Invisalign. We accept most types of dental insurance, and our team will be happy to help you file a claim. If you are uninsured, we invite you to become a member of the Family Dental Care VIP program, which covers preventative dentistry and provides a 15% discount on all other dentistry for as low as $27 a month.
We also accept CareCredit®, a financing option that allows you to pay for treatment in manageable monthly installments.
