Invisalign Dentist in Gambrills, MD
Everybody loves a great smile, but sometimes adults feel like they’re too old for braces. If traditional metal braces sound like too much of an inconvenience, Invisalign could be your solution. Dr. Bruce Auslander offers Invisalign clear aligners to patients throughout Gambrills, Crofton, Odenton, and Bowie, so you can discreetly straighten your teeth without anyone knowing you’re in treatment. Invisalign is easy to use, fits into your daily routine, and achieves fantastic results for both adults and teens.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. As your teeth move, Dr. Auslander provides new aligners specific to your progress. They’re clear, comfortable, and removable — so there are no foods you need to avoid, unlike with traditional metal braces.
How Invisalign Works
Our team starts with a 3D digital model of your teeth. Dr. Auslander assesses your bite and designs an Invisalign plan using a series of custom aligners, each worn for about one to two weeks before moving to the next in the series. Aligners are removable, so they’re taken out during meals, and checkups are scheduled roughly every 6-8 weeks to track your progress. Most Invisalign treatment takes 9 to 15 months, though timelines vary depending on your specific case.

Who is Invisalign For?
Invisalign is designed for a wide range of patients. It’s most commonly used by adults and teenagers who feel a bit self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces — professionals who don’t want to walk into work with visible braces, and teens who appreciate a less noticeable option. Invisalign’s clear aligners are discreet enough that they’re difficult to notice even up close.
Who Might Need a Different Approach?
Invisalign works well for mild to moderate spacing and alignment issues, but isn’t the right fit for every case. Patients with more significant bite or jaw reconstruction needs may be better served by traditional braces or another treatment. Dr. Auslander will confirm whether Invisalign is right for you at your consultation, and recommend an alternative if it isn’t.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
- Traditional Braces: Fixed in place, effective for complex cases, but visible and require diet adjustments to avoid damaging brackets and wires.
- Invisalign: Clear and removable, no food restrictions, and far less noticeable — ideal for adults and teens who want an effective but discreet option for mild to moderate cases.
Dr. Auslander will help you decide which option best fits your goals, lifestyle, and the complexity of your case.
