Preferred Providers of Invisalign®

Many patients wish their teeth were straight but are hesitant to do anything about it. For over 10 years, Thornton Orthodontics has offered patients from across the Eugene and Creswell areas complete orthodontic services. From traditional braces to Invisalign® and other treatments, we will help you determine which treatment fits your goals for your smile.

Invisalign® allows Dr. Thornton to provide orthodontic treatment without using braces. This type of treatment starts with a scan using our state of the art Itero scanner. The scan produces digital models of your teeth. Dr. Thornton moves your teeth digitally, then sends the completed digital models back to Invisalign®. Invisalign® then creates a series of aligners that straighten your teeth as you wear them.

Invisalign® is constantly improving its product. Most of the changes that traditionally could only be made with braces can now be made with Invisalign® too. So, if the idea of braces has been holding you back from the smile you have always wanted, consider Invisalign®.

Invisalign Teen® Info

Bummed out about having braces? Invisalign Teen® aligners give you a whole new way to wear braces for a “clearly” amazing smile!

Invisalign Teen® aligners are a perfect fit for your lifestyle because aligners are:

Pizza, Popcorn... No Problem!

You’ve probably heard from friends that with braces you won’t be able to eat anything. With Invisalign Teen® aligners, you can eat whatever you want!

Unlike traditional metal braces, your Invisalign Teen® aligners are removable, which means you can go ahead and eat all the things you love without worrying about breaking a bracket or losing a rubber band.

It’s Your Life; Keep It That Way!

Invisalign® aligners are really comfortable and very durable. They fit in with any of your extracurricular activities. So whether you’re swimming the 50-meter race, throwing the football out on the field, or playing the clarinet with the school band, you don’t have to worry about your braces getting in the way!

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® offers a nearly invisible method for aligning your teeth and attaining the smile of your dreams. Utilizing sophisticated 3D computer imaging, Invisalign® maps out your entire treatment journey, from where your teeth start to where you want them to end up. For your teeth specifically, a sequence of transparent aligners is crafted to incrementally adjust their position. You’ll wear each aligner for one to two weeks, progressing through the series until your teeth reach their intended alignment. The duration of your Invisalign® treatment is customized by Dr. Thornton to meet your unique requirements.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign®?

Invisalign® aligners are transparent, blending perfectly with your lifestyle and daily interactions without being noticeable. What sets Invisalign® apart is its removability. This means you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages during your treatment by simply taking out the aligners before meals. Additionally, you can remove them for your usual dental cleaning routines, allowing for better oral hygiene and fresher breath compared to wearing traditional braces. Invisalign® doesn’t use the metal brackets or wires found in conventional braces, reducing discomfort and the potential for irritation inside your mouth. You’ll also appreciate fewer visits to the dental office, giving you more freedom to enjoy your activities. Furthermore, Invisalign®’s advanced technology offers a glimpse of your treatment outcome through a virtual preview, enabling you to see how your teeth will look after your journey to a straighter smile.

How many patients has Dr. Thornton treated with Invisalign®?

Dr. Thornton has more than 20 years of Invisalign® experience. We have treated more than one thousand Invisalign® patients in our office, and the number of Invisalign® smiles grows daily. At your next appointment, we can help answer any questions you might have and get you started on the smile you’ve always wanted.
