Invisalign: Your Clear Path to a Straighter Smile in Brentwood
Have you ever dreamed of having straighter teeth but cringed at the thought of metal braces? If so, you’re not alone. Many adults and teens in Brentwood and across Essex desire a more aligned smile but hesitate to commit to traditional orthodontics. That’s where Invisalign comes in – a revolutionary approach to straightening teeth that’s as discreet as it is effective.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Think of it as a GPS for your smile – each set of aligners guides your teeth a little closer to their ideal position, creating a straighter, more aligned smile over time.
The SmileHQ Invisalign Advantage
At SmileHQ, we’re proud to offer Invisalign treatments led by our Specialist Orthodontist, Dr. Jeet Parekh. Dr. Jeet is not just any orthodontist – he’s a multi-award-winning specialist with extensive experience in Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments.
“Invisalign is more than just straightening teeth,” Dr. Jeet often says. “It’s about creating harmonious smiles that enhance overall facial aesthetics. Each Invisalign treatment is a unique journey, tailored to the individual patient’s needs and goals.”
Dr. Jeet’s expertise in functional appliances and growth modification, combined with his published research in the American Journal of Orthodontics, ensures that our Invisalign patients receive cutting-edge, evidence-based care.

Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
While both Invisalign and traditional braces can effectively straighten teeth, there are some key differences:
- Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, while traditional braces are more noticeable.
- Comfort: Many patients find Invisalign more comfortable than metal braces.
- Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, making eating and oral hygiene easier.
- Treatment Time: Treatment time with Invisalign is often comparable to traditional braces, but this can vary depending on individual cases.
Dr. Jeet’s expertise allows him to determine which option is best suited for each patient’s unique needs.
Caring for Your Smile During Invisalign Treatment
Maintaining good oral hygiene during your Invisalign treatment is crucial. Our dental hygienist, Hannah O’Connor, offers some valuable advice:
“One of the great advantages of Invisalign is that you can remove the aligners for brushing and flossing,” Hannah explains. “This makes it much easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment. Regular professional cleanings, including our Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), can help keep your teeth and gums healthy as your smile transforms.”
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign can be an excellent option for many orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
However, not every case is suitable for Invisalign. Dr. Jeet will assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
