Dr. Hershey is a Certified Premier Invisalign® Provider

Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful, straight teeth you've always wanted – without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Hershey can determine if Invisalign is right for you.

What is it?

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. You can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about two to three weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Hershey has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Hershey about once every six to twelve weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to fifteen months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between eighteen and thirty but both will vary from case to case.

Dr. Hershey has been recognized as an Invisalign Premier Provider, placing her among the top 5% of Invisalign® providers in the Country. Premier provider status indicates to our patients and to the community that we are among the most experienced Invisalign® practices in the country and that we are committed to staying current with the latest techniques. That leadership reflects the standard of care patients can expect from our practice.
