Not happy with how your teeth line up?

Straight teeth look better and are easier to keep clean. Select what brought you here to see how Invisalign at this practice approaches it.

Crowded or crooked teeth

Teeth that overlap or twist leave places for bacteria to collect, so they are harder to keep clean. Invisalign clear aligners apply gentle pressure to move each tooth gradually into a straighter position.

Gaps between your teeth

Teeth spaced far apart can bother you every time you smile. A series of custom clear aligners makes small, progressive movements to bring your teeth into a more even line.

A bite that isn’t right

Invisalign isn’t only cosmetic. When there are bite issues to correct, it may be the right way to improve both how your teeth look and your oral health. Your bite is evaluated before anything is recommended.

Worried how braces look at work

Many adults avoid straightening because of how metal braces look. Invisalign aligners are clear and barely noticeable, so you can improve your smile without broadcasting that you are in treatment.

Dreading brackets and wires

Brackets cemented to the teeth can irritate your cheeks. Invisalign aligners are smooth, custom-fitted trays made of a BPA-free clear material, and they are comfortable to wear.

A teen who dreads braces

For some teenagers, the thought of traditional braces is enough to put off treatment. Invisalign Teen uses clear aligners designed for your teen, so they won’t draw attention to their smile.

Will your teen actually wear them?

Aligners work when they are worn, at least 22 hours a day. Invisalign Teen is built to make tracking progress easy, so it is simpler to see whether treatment is staying on course.

Not giving up your favorite foods

With braces, food gets stuck in brackets and appliances can be damaged. You take aligners out to eat, drink, brush and floss, so you keep eating a wide variety of foods and cleaning normally.

Only a small change needed

If your teeth need only minor movement, a full course of treatment may be more than you need. Invisalign Express is a thrifty way to achieve minor tooth movements.

Your questions,

answered

Yes. Dr. Steven W. Haywood, DDS is an Elite Invisalign Provider in Timonium, MD, a rank based on education and volume of experience, with 35+ years of experience in dentistry. Invisalign, Invisalign Teen and Invisalign Express are all offered in the same office. See all orthodontic options.

For many adults, yes. Most adults who avoid straightening do so because of how metal braces look and feel. Invisalign aligners are clear, barely noticeable and removable, and can address crowding, gaps and bite issues. Whether they suit your teeth depends on the movement your case needs, which a consultation answers.

Both straighten teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners. Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for teenagers and makes tracking progress easy. For smaller corrections, Invisalign Express is a thrifty option for minor tooth movements. Read about Invisalign Teen.

Treatment can take 18 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, and aligners should be worn at least 22 hours a day. Dr. Haywood can give you a clearer picture after evaluating your teeth.

The practice is out of network with insurance companies: you pay at the time of service and the office files the paperwork on your behalf for maximum reimbursement. Health savings and flex plans are welcome. Invisalign can be paid in monthly payments in-office after a down payment, and financing is also available through CareCredit and Cherry. See financing options.

Yes. The office is at 108 W Timonium Rd, Ste 200, Timonium, MD 21093. Adults and teens come for Invisalign from Hunt Valley, Towson, Baltimore and Shrewsbury, PA, as well as Timonium.

The consultation answers whether clear aligners can work for your teeth. That depends on the specific movement your case needs, which only shows up on an actual look at your teeth, not a photo. From there, Dr. Haywood talks through your options and a personalized plan built around your needs, comfort and budget. Request a consultation.

It depends on your case. Invisalign is clear, removable and comfortable, with no brackets to irritate your cheeks or trap food. Metal braces are the most economical option and are suited to complex orthodontic work. The practice offers both, and Dr. Haywood can help you decide which fits. Compare orthodontic options.

Sometimes. Instant orthodontics uses porcelain veneers, bonding, crowns and tooth and gum reshaping to transform crooked, gapped or discolored teeth in as little as one or two visits, whether you want a subtle improvement or a dramatic change. Learn about dental veneers.

It can be. Orthodontics is provided alongside general and cosmetic dental care here, and a knowledgeable look at tooth position is part of planning cosmetic work correctly, so both are considered together. Explore cosmetic dentistry.
