Why Choose Invisalign in Harbor?
Welcome to your premier destination for Invisalign in Harbor. At Markovitz Orthodontics, we are committed to delivering clear, practical, and comfortable orthodontic care. As a Diamond-level Invisalign provider, we offer advanced clear aligner options tailored to your smile goals, backed by more than 30 years of experience serving Baltimore-area families.
If you’re seeking results without the look or restrictions of traditional braces, our Harbor office offers a convenient, discreet solution to transform your smile with precision and confidence.
What Is Invisalign?
A modern alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign® is a set of custom, transparent aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Made from smooth, comfortable SmartTrack® material, these aligners are nearly invisible when worn and removable when eating, drinking, or brushing.
Unlike metal braces, which use brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners offer a subtle way to achieve a straighter smile. This makes them a great option for adults, teens, and even younger patients who want effective results without visible hardware.
Our Invisalign Approach at Harbor
At Markovitz Orthodontics, our Harbor office combines expertise, technology, and personalized care to deliver an exceptional Invisalign experience:
-
1. Free Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and smile goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you. -
2. Digital Scanning & Treatment Planning
Our iTero digital scanner captures precise 3D images of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy impressions. This helps us map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish. -
3. Custom Aligner Production & Fitting
Your aligners are custom-made and fitted for comfort. Small tooth-colored attachments may be added to assist movement and enhance accuracy. -
4. Progress Monitoring & Adjustments
Invisalign typically requires fewer visits than braces. We’ll check your progress every few weeks to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. -
5. Retention & Maintaining Your Smile
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll receive custom retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile.
Because our Harbor location is conveniently situated near the downtown area, we make it easy for busy professionals and families to access quality orthodontic care close to home.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Invisalign is an effective treatment for many common orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
However, severe bite issues or large tooth movements may still be best treated with traditional braces. During your consultation, our orthodontists will recommend the treatment that offers the best results for your specific needs.
Invisalign vs. Braces in Harbor
While Invisalign in Harbor is ideal for many patients, braces in Harbor continue to be a trusted and effective option. At Markovitz Orthodontics, we offer both Invisalign and traditional braces to suit different cases and preferences.
Benefits of Invisalign:
- Virtually invisible design
- Comfortable and removable
- Easier brushing and flossing
- No food restrictions
- Fewer office visits
Benefits of Braces:
