Invisalign® & Invisalign Teen®

Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® use a series of clear, removable aligners that are worn securely over your teeth. Since the custom-made Invisalign® aligners are clear, they are designed to allow patients of any age to receive orthodontic treatment discreetly.The Invisalign® system is designed to be convenient and easy to use. During your initial consultation with Dr. Markey, we will review your oral health and determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign®. Next, we will use a state of the art digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth. This will be used to design and fabricate custom aligners for each stage of your treatment plan. With this model, we can show you approximate results before starting treatment.

During treatment, you will switch to a new aligner every 1-2 weeks, as directed by Dr. Markey. Each aligner is designed to gently guide your teeth toward their final positions.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

Unlike braces Invisalign is removable, so can be taken out of the mouth to eat, brush and floss. So, your diet and dental hygiene routine can remain the same!
Invisalign aligners are clear. If you do not wish to have visible wires and brackets on your teeth, this is a great option for you to achieve that amazing smile you deserve!
Life can be hectic! Because Dr. Markey will program every tooth movement precisely within the Invisalign system, fewer appointments are needed, making this a very efficient and convenient option for straightening your teeth in today’s busy world.
Because we utilize the latest in 3D technology and intra oral scanning, we can visualize together the outcome you’ll receive with Invisalign before treatment has begun.

Invisalign Teen®

The most common time for orthodontic treatment is during teenage years. Permanent teeth have fully developed and issues like an overbite, gaps, and poor alignment become clear. However, your teen may be reluctant to agree to treatment with braces due to any of a wide range of reasons. The most common reasons teens avoid braces include:

Appearance – the impact of braces on a teen’s appearance can often lead to teasing by peers and reduced self-esteem.
Restrictions – braces require your teen to give up popcorn, hard and sticky candies, gum, crunchy foods, and more.
Effort – teeth with braces are more challenging to keep properly clean and healthy.
Activities – sports, band instruments, and other common activities can be limited or made more difficult when wearing braces.

Invisalign teen® is designed to provide straighter, healthier teeth without any of these drawbacks.Invisalign teen® uses a series of clear, custom-fabricated aligners to gently and gradually correct the alignment of your teen’s teeth. Their nearly invisible appearance means most people will not be aware of the treatment.

In most cases, Invisalign teen® can correct issues with your teen’s smile for about the same investment as traditional braces, and generally requires fewer office visits.

Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® provide a comfortable, convenient, and easy to use orthodontic solution. For more information or to schedule an Invisalign® consultation, contact our office.

I love this practice. The atmosphere is amazing and the orthodontist is brilliant . My oldest daughter had her braces at a different practice and I wish I knew about three leaf back then. Three leaf provides excellent care. It’s super clean. Absolutely the best. Their teeth look so good. The Invisalign on my youngest is turning out wonderfully. The braces on my middle child turned out flawless. We liked it so much my husband is now having his teeth fixed. Truly excellent.

Oh my where do I start. As a single parent I’m use to not being able to bring my little one along with me to my appointments. Here they not only made me welcome but my little five year old as well. The customer service is amazing from the front to the back. Mr. Markey is amazing with such a caring personality. This is my first time with braces and I can say my first experience has been the best. My little one is still asking me can she come back to the office or how long will she have to wait till it’s her turn. The work that was done is amazing and the customer service is what sold me I’m grateful .

Really appreciated the creativity and expertise for my son's complicated mouth. 3 Leaf was able to give me a treatment plan that was continuous over 3 years to best help correct growth. Also having a continuous 3 year plan enabled health insurance to cover more (woohoo!) I was going to have to pay way more out of pocket with the 2 other orthos I had previously seen.

After discussing my son's course of treatment with multiple orthodontists in the SouthPark area, we were immediately sold on Three Leaf Orthodontics. It was clear Dr. Markey and his team are focused on the big picture and ensuring things are done correctly vs. rushing through the treatment. They clearly explained every step of the process in a way my 8 year old could understand and made him (and us) feel comfortable. We're only in the beginning stages of treatment, but we are so excited for the results and know the Three Leaf team will be with us every step of the way.

Dr. Markey is an incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable orthodontist who makes going to our visits a pleasure. He is a true professional who understands the importance of creating beautiful smiles, while also forming caring relationships with his patients. The staff at Three Leaf is also amazing.

3 leaf has been great for us. We interviewed several orthodontists in the area and found Dr. Market to be very knowledgeable, reassuring and has a plan for our specific situation. His staff though is also top notch. They have been safe during CoVId and still are always on time, pleasant and proactive. They even offered easily and manageable payment options. Couldn’t ask for more.

Katelyn E.

21:24 03 Feb 22

Three leaf orthodontist is by far the best dentistry. They make sure all clients are comfortable and relaxed. They don’t make a big deal if you accidentally pop off a bracket and they are really funny. It really is a great environment and it truly is a family there. I was with three leaf orthodontist for about 2 years and I can’t belive I was so sad to get my braces off. I was excited to get them off but hated that I had to leave three leaf.
