Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective orthodontic solution for both teens and adults seeking to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment without traditional metal braces. Using advanced 3D imaging technology and custom-fabricated aligners, Invisalign treatment gradually shifts teeth into optimal position while allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss with ease. Invisalign provides a confidence-boosting option that fits active school and social schedules. Smile Express, for adults, appreciate the nearly invisible appearance and flexibility that complements professional lifestyles. With predictable results and fewer in-office visits, Invisalign aligners and Smile Express deliver a modern, convenient path to a healthier, more confident smile.

Started going here when it was O’Grady. My permanent retainer came loose after 10 years or so and so I setup an appointment. They fixed it and also did some free xrays and got me a quote for more orthodontic work.A couple months went by and my retainer came loose again. I came back and a very skilled hygienist named Laurie put it back on for me and honored the money I paid for the initial visit.Overall a great experience. It hasn’t lost its customer service and value since changing from O’Grady, which is saying A LOT. I will be returning here for work in the future, and likely bringing my kids here.
My kids Jacob and Cameron has Royal treatment from Dr. O’Grady and his staff. Their smiles turned out beautifully. Thanks to all!!!!
Everyone is friendly and smile when they greet you. They make kids/patients feel important and go out of their way to ensure that it is a positive experience. Highly reccomend Dr. Chen and her team.
Everyone there is always so kind, and Dr. Chen is so up beat
Great staff!!! Super helpful my treatment has been great so far- no complaints.
