In the past, if you wanted to straighten crooked teeth, bulky metal braces were your only option. But today, Invisalign clear aligners by Dr. David Matney at Ballston Dental Care in Arlington, Virginia, will change everything. No metal. No discomfort. Just results that fit your lifestyle and leave you with a smile you love.
You can wear Invisalign discreetly through a presentation at work or a social event. No one will know if you don’t tell them. These aligners are clear, subtle, and designed to blend right in. A few patients have said they forget they have them in until bedtime. It’s confidence without the flashing metal.
Clear aligners for teeth don’t just look better—they feel better, too. Each set is molded to precisely fit your teeth. There are no brackets or poking wires—just smooth edges and even pressure. Patients often tell Dr. Matney they experienced far less discomfort compared to metal braces. Less rubbing and more comfort—plain and simple.
You’re not stuck wearing your Invisalign aligners 24/7. Mealtime? Out they go so that you can enjoy all your favorite foods. Big event? Removing them for a couple of hours is fine. You maintain your routine while adhering to the 22-hour rule.
Here’s how to make that work:
This flexibility makes it easier to keep teeth clean and stay committed to treatment. The more you stick to the plan, the faster you’ll see results.
Invisalign doesn’t guess. It scans. Using digital imaging and planning software, the dentists at our office map out every shift before your first aligner goes in. You’ll see a preview of your new smile and know how long the process should take before you wear your first aligner.
Arlington families have hectic schedules. That’s why Invisalign is designed to be low-maintenance. There are fewer appointments, no emergency visits for broken wires, and because the aligners come out, you brush and floss just like normal. That makes your dentist happy and your gums even happier.
Crowded or crooked teeth are harder to clean. Bacteria finds tight spots and hides there. Invisalign lines up your bite and clears those spaces, which makes brushing and flossing more effective.
At Ballston Dental Care, no one gets a generic plan. Dr. Matney, takes time to review your smile goals with you and then builds a series of aligners that match your exact needs. Patients often tell us the custom approach made them feel heard. That’s not just dental care. It’s people care.
