Invisalign & orthodontics
Straighten your smile without anyone noticing you are doing it.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. At Maintain Your Smile, treatment is led by Dr. Todd Stern, DDS, the area's longest-standing Invisalign Premier Provider. Aligners are comfortable, easy to clean, and let you eat what you like. Book an Invisalign consultation to see if you are a candidate.
Overview
Invisalign is a modern alternative to braces that moves your teeth with a sequence of clear, custom aligners. You wear each set for a week or two, then switch to the next, and your smile shifts gradually into place.
Because the aligners are removable, you brush, floss, and eat normally, and most people will never notice you are in treatment. It is a popular choice for busy adults and teens alike.

Invisalign treatment is offered through our Rochelle office and coordinated by Dr. Stern for patients across the Rockford area. Many dental plans include an orthodontic benefit, and we offer third-party financing to spread the cost into monthly payments.
Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your smile. Each set shifts your teeth a little closer to their final position, so over the course of treatment your teeth straighten without metal brackets or wires.
For many patients, yes, because the aligners are nearly invisible, removable for meals and cleaning, and more comfortable. Braces still suit some complex cases. Dr. Stern will tell you honestly which option fits your smile.
Treatment time depends on how much your teeth need to move, and your dentist will give you an estimate at your consultation. Wearing your aligners as directed is the single biggest factor in finishing on schedule.
