We are so excited to help you reach your smile goals! At Labbe Family Orthodontics, we bring the magic of Invisalign® clear aligners to families all across Central Maryland. We believe your orthodontic journey should be fun, comfortable, and totally stress-free. In fact, we can often get you started on the very same day as your first visit.
As a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider, we are in the top 1% of providers in the country. This means your smile is in the hands of true orthodontic professionals who use advanced technology to get the best results. From your first visit to that final "wow" moment, we will be right there with you.
What Is the Invisalign® System?
The Invisalign system is a modern and comfortable way to straighten your teeth without using traditional metal braces. Instead of wires, you use a series of clear, removable trays that are custom-made just for you. These aligners gently move your teeth into the perfect position over time. Since they are nearly invisible, they fit right into your busy life without anyone even noticing.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Treatment?
Choosing clear aligners means prioritizing your comfort and convenience. Our patients love this option for many reasons:
- Nearly invisible: The smooth, clear plastic is hard to see, so you can feel confident in every photo and conversation.
- Super comfortable: Every aligner is custom-fit to your teeth. You won't have to worry about metal poking or scratching your cheeks.
- Fewer office visits: Since there are no wires to tighten, you’ll spend less time in the orthodontic chair and more time doing what you love.
- Eat what you want: Because you can take the aligners out, you don't have to give up popcorn, pizza crust, or any of your favorite treats.
- Better health: It is much easier to brush and floss when you can remove your aligners. This helps keep your gums and teeth healthy during treatment.
How Does the Invisalign Journey Work at Labbe Family Orthodontics?
We want you to feel like part of the family! We use strategic planning and precision to make sure your treatment is a success. Here is what you can expect when you start your journey with us:
Your Personalized Complimentary Consultation
Everything starts with a fun, no-pressure visit. You’ll meet our team, tour the office, and we’ll take digital images of your teeth with our iTero™ scanner. One of our expert orthodontists will talk about your goals and create a customized plan just for you.
Creating Your Custom Aligners
Once we have a plan, we use those digital images to craft your series of aligners. Each tray is made from high-quality, smooth plastic designed for a snug and comfortable feel.
Wearing Your Clear Aligners
For the best results, you’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. You only take them out to eat, brush, floss, or drink anything other than water. Every week or two, you’ll switch to a new set of trays to keep your teeth moving toward your goal.
Simple Follow-up Appointments
We will see you every six to eight weeks just to make sure everything is staying on track. These visits are quick and give us a chance to celebrate your progress.
Maintaining Your Orthodontic Results
Once your treatment is finished, we provide a custom-fit retainer to keep your new smile in place. We even include your retainers as part of your treatment because we want your beautiful results to last a lifetime.
Who Can Get Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign treatment is a fantastic choice for people of all ages. It is a proven way to fix many common smile concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites
Invisalign Treatment for Adults
Many adults prefer clear aligners because they are discreet. You can straighten your teeth without it affecting your professional look or social life.
Invisalign Treatment for Teens
Invisalign treatment for teens is designed for active lifestyles. Whether you are playing sports, practicing an instrument, or hanging out with friends, these aligners won't get in the way.
Invisalign Treatment for Kids
Sometimes our orthodontists recommend starting early to help a child's smile develop correctly. A quick consultation can help us decide if clear aligners are the right fit for your child's needs.
Other Options for Your Smile
While we love the Invisalign system, it isn't the only way to get a great smile. If we find that metal braces are a better fit for your specific goals, we’ll let you know. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than they used to be.
How Much Does Invisalign Treatment Cost?
The cost of your treatment depends on how complex your case is and how long it will take to reach your goals. We believe a healthy smile should be affordable for everyone. We work with many insurance providers and offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget.
Invisalign® Treatment Reviews
I had an excellent initial consultation at Labbe Family Orthodontics on Friday. The entire process was smooth and easy from start to finish. The intake forms were sent online ahead of time and completed effortlessly, and insurance verification was seamless.Upon arrival, the front desk staff were warm and welcoming. The photographer was incredibly knowledgeable and gave clear, easy-to-follow instructions during the preliminary photos and X-rays, which immediately put me at ease.Tia, the financial manager, walked me through every step of the treatment plan, timeline, and expectations with clarity and transparency. She answered all of my questions thoroughly so I could make an informed decision.Dr. Miller was honest, professional, and thoughtful in her recommendations, which I truly appreciated.Lynette, the Invisalign technician, was calm and efficient, clearly explaining the scanning process and what to expect at upcoming appointments.I’m genuinely looking forward to beginning my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Miller and her amazing team!
So many people asked why I chose to get braces, I would hear the same things "oh you don't need it you have perfect teeth", but I knew there were things that I wanted to fix and Labbe listened and got me right. I chose traditional braces because knowing myself I would have thrown the Invisalign away being forgetful. I am so pleased with the process and my results. I now feel that my teeth are in fact "perfect". During the process of having braces everyone was always so kind and willing to explain what was happening, they were gentle and always made sure things were comfortable. Now I have my retainers and I would recommend Labbe to anyone ten times over.
Loved the results of my Invisalign. The entire team is excellent. The Ortho Assistants and Dr. Labbe are all so nice. The space is inviting and relaxed.
The entire staff at Labbe is amazing. Great communication and professionalism helped to put me at ease through my entire One year+ journey with Invisalign. I would highly recommend Labbe Orthodontics.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I chose Invisalign for my orthodontic treatment at Labb Orthodontics, and the entire process has been great from start to finish. The dentist and staff made everything easy and stress-free. Everyone is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I absolutely love my new smile!

Every smile is unique! On average, treatment takes between 12 and 18 months, but some patients finish even sooner. We will give you a specific timeline during your consultation.
