Smart Moves Is a Gentle Teeth Straightening Treatment
Both Invisalign and Smart Moves use clear trays that will gradually straighten your teeth over a period of several months.
However, the Smart Moves system starts with soft, flexible clear aligners that allow you to comfortably adjust to wearing invisible braces. As your treatment progresses, you’ll switch to harder plastic trays to stabilize the movement of your teeth.
Corrects Many Simple Orthodontic Issues
Like Invisalign, Smart Moves works for teenagers and adults of any age who want to have straighter teeth. Whether you’ve already had traditional braces or never did, this treatment corrects all kinds of minor tooth alignment issues and ensures you can keep your smile straight and even.
If you have significant bite issues or severely misaligned teeth, you might get better results from traditional braces. Either way, after a consultation with Dr. McCormick you’ll have clear answers about the best option for your specific needs, and the costs associated with straightening your teeth this amazing alternative to Invisalign in Santa Rosa.
Streamlined Orthodontic Treatment, Custom-Made for You
The streamlined approach of Smart Moves has been proven to effectively straighten teeth in as little as six months for many people, while Invisalign is often a slower process.
Smart Moves clear aligners are custom-made based on an individualized treatment plan created just for you. The system uses state-of-the-art dental design technology to create durable, invisible aligners for your unique needs.
What Can Invisible Braces Do for Your Smile?
Many people seek out treatments like Invisalign in Santa Rosa because they don’t like the way their smile looks. Gaps, crowding, and crooked teeth can compromise your smile esthetics, and orthodontic treatment is a predictable way to get a dream smile.
Did you know straight teeth are also essential to your long-term oral health? Misalignments create uneven pressure in your bite, which can wear your teeth down and even cause cracks and fractures. Bite disharmony frequently leads to TMJ pain, tooth sensitivity, and even periodontal problems.
Straight teeth are easier to keep clean, reducing your risks for cavities, gum disease, plaque buildup, and unsightly stains.
However, many people would rather avoid the discomfort and unsightly appearance of traditional braces. If you’re considering Invisalign in Santa Rosa, our discreet orthodontic treatments with Smart Moves invisible braces will give you a dream smile and the peace of mind that comes with great oral health!
How Do Clear Braces Work?
Invisible braces apply constant, gentle pressure to slowly reposition the teeth over a period of time. In some cases, small attachments will give the trays better grip to help them work more efficiently. As your teeth adjust to the shape of the tray, the pressure decreases. When that happens, you’ll switch to the next tray in the series to keep things moving!
Dr. McCormick will design each set of trays especially for you, to address your specific straightening issues. He’ll do this using cutting-edge 3D scans of your teeth and gums and specialized design software that enables him to create a customized plan with consideration for your face shape, the way your teeth come together, and the health of your jaw joints.
A typical treatment takes between two and six clear aligner trays, with the last tray used as a retainer while you sleep so your smile will stay straight and beautiful for years to come!

Are Smart Moves Clear Aligners Right for You?
