Achieve Your Dream Smile with Invisalign

At Magnolia Dental Care in Edina, MN, Dr. Sarah Latterell and her team are proud to offer Invisalign® clear aligners for adults—a modern, discreet, and effective way to straighten teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires. As a trusted dentist in Edina, MN, Dr. Latterell combines precision, technology, and compassionate care to deliver outstanding orthodontic results tailored to your smile.

What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

Invisalign is a system of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gently and gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike traditional braces, there are no wires or brackets involved—just a series of nearly invisible trays that fit comfortably over your teeth.

Here’s how it works:

  • 1

    Consultation and Digital Imaging: Your treatment starts with a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and advanced 3D scanning using the iTero® Flex Digital Scanner. This technology allows us to create a detailed simulation of your potential results, so you can preview your future smile before starting.

  • 2

    Custom Aligner Creation: Based on your digital scan and personalized treatment plan, Invisalign manufactures a series of aligners designed specifically for your teeth.

  • 3

    Wearing the Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series, your teeth will move gradually until they reach their desired positions.

  • 4

    Regular Check-ins: You’ll visit Magnolia Dental Care periodically to ensure treatment is on track and to receive your next sets of aligners.

Because Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, they allow you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.

Why Straightening Your Teeth Matters – It’s About More Than Just Looks

Many people choose Invisalign for aesthetic reasons—to enjoy a straighter, more confident smile. But aligning your teeth does more than improve appearance. Dr. Sarah Latterell also recommends Invisalign for long-term oral health.

When teeth are crowded, crooked, or misaligned, it becomes more difficult to brush and floss effectively. This can lead to a buildup of plaque and bacteria, increasing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. With straighter teeth, your oral hygiene routine becomes more effective, helping you maintain healthier gums and fewer cavities.

In addition, misaligned teeth or an uneven bite (malocclusion) can cause extra pressure on certain teeth, leading to premature wear, chipping, or even fractures. Invisalign helps correct these bite issues, reducing the risk of trauma and protecting your teeth for years to come.

By choosing Invisalign, you’re not just improving your smile—you’re investing in your dental health, comfort, and long-term well-being.
