The VIP Pass for a Confident Smile: Invisalign

Maybe you’ve gotten good at smiling with your lips closed, or avoiding photos altogether. You want straighter teeth, but the idea of metal braces feels like too much. Invisalign lets you make that change quietly, comfortably, and on your own terms: we’ll give you a confident smile to do life without hesitation.

At Intentional Smiles here in Edmond, OK, Dr. Taylor Barton takes a gentle approach that keeps your smile looking and feeling authentically you. These custom clear aligners fit into your life (and your calendar) without any wires, so you can unselfconsciously get a smile that feels true to who you are!

Smile Upgrade 101 – What Is Invisalign? 

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth to gently and discreetly guide them into a straighter position. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal wires or brackets, just a smooth, clear tray that you change every one to two weeks.

And because the aligners are removable, you can still enjoy your favorite meals (no spinach stuck in brackets!). Brushing and flossing stay simple too, with no special tools or complicated routines. The best part is that you can get clear aligners at any age – it’s never too late!

What to Expect (Besides Compliments)

We keep things personal and unrushed, every step of the way:

• Let’s Talk: Dr. Barton will start with a one-on-one conversation about your goals and take digital scans (no messy goopy impressions).
  
• See It Before You Commit: Using advanced 3D imaging, you’ll preview what your future smile could look like before treatment even begins.
  
• Custom Aligners, Crafted for You: Your aligners arrive in stages week by week, gently guiding your teeth toward alignment.
  
• Regular Check-Ins: Quick visits with Dr. Barton ensure everything’s tracking smoothly and comfortably.

You’ll leave each appointment knowing exactly what’s happening and why, no pressure, no rush.

Why Invisalign Over Braces?

Invisalign works smarter, using controlled, gradual pressure to move teeth comfortably and efficiently. No emergency wire pokes, no adjustment pain, no “brace face.”

You’ll also spend less time in the dental chair. Most patients only need quick progress visits every 6–8 weeks, compared to the constant tightening schedule of traditional braces. And while every smile moves at its own pace, most Invisalign treatments take about 6 to 18 months; often faster than braces, depending on your case.

So you can go from “I’m thinking about it” to “I can’t stop smiling” sooner than you’d think.

Not Just About Looks

Having straight teeth is more than just a cosmetic thing; it’s about long-term health. When your teeth are properly aligned, they’re easier to brush and floss, which helps prevent the buildup of plaque that can lead to cavities and gum disease. A properly aligned bite also reduces stress on your jaw, helping to prevent headaches, jaw pain, and uneven wear on your teeth.

The Craftsmanship Behind Every Smile

If you’ve ever seen Dr. Barton’s woodworking projects, you already know he’s a craftsman at heart. That same attention to detail shows in his dentistry. He doesn’t just straighten teeth, he shapes smiles that fit naturally with your features and personality.

At Intentional Smiles, we do what’s right for you, every time. Whether that means taking a slower, more conservative approach or finding a way to make treatment fit your budget, we’re here to guide you to your most confident self!

Your Time to Shine!

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, this is it – you’re really not “too old”, and Invisalign makes it easy to align your smile without turning your life upside down.

Let’s plan a smile you’ll actually enjoy showing off.
