State College Invisalign
Clear, Comfortable, & Customized
At State College Orthodontics, Invisalign offers a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth with comfort and convenience.
These custom aligners are designed to fit your lifestyle, giving you the freedom to eat, drink, and smile with confidence throughout treatment.
Convenience & Confidence
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that realigns your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Unlike traditional braces, these removable aligners make it easy to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain oral hygiene without extra hassle.
At State College Orthodontics, Dr. Diane Ray uses Invisalign to gently and discreetly shift your teeth into place. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next, gradually bringing you closer to your perfect smile—without metal brackets or wires.
Invisible Treatment,
Clear Benefits
Invisalign takes orthodontic treatment to the next level, offering a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your smile.
Designed to handle a variety of cases, Invisalign gives you the confidence of a metal-free treatment with the flexibility your lifestyle demands.
Nearly Invisible
Unlike metal braces, clear aligners blend with your natural smile. They slip over your teeth like a thin, custom-fit mouthguard, making them a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
Convenient & Flexible
Life doesn't slow down for orthodontic treatment, and with Invisalign, it doesn't have to. These removable aligners give you the freedom to eat what you love and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without the hassle of brackets and wires.
Smooth & Comfortable
Invisalign aligners are made from BPA-free plastic. They're custom-molded to fit snugly over your teeth.
With no brackets or wires to worry about, you'll experience a smooth, irritation-free treatment from start to finish.
Customized for You
Your smile is unique, and your treatment should be, too. At State College Orthodontics, Dr. Ray creates a custom Invisalign plan for your teeth and gums.
With a treatment tailored to you, your journey to a confident smile is more precise and efficient than ever.
Your Smile, Step by Step

Smile Progress Checkpoints
You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into place—no adjustments, no metal, no hassle—just simple progress.

Invisalign First for Kids
Invisalign First is designed specifically for young children who need early orthodontic treatment. These custom clear aligners help guide teeth into place while their jaws are still developing, making correcting issues like crowding, spacing, and misalignment easier.
By starting treatment early, Dr. Ray at State College Orthodontics can help set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles without needing metal brackets or wires.
Early Intervention Benefits
- Creates space for incoming teeth: Invisalign First helps manage spacing and crowding to prevent bigger alignment challenges in the future.
- Encourages proper jaw development: These aligners gently guide your child’s jaw as it grows, leading to a healthier bite and better long-term alignment.
- Comfortable & kid-friendly: With smooth, removable, and nearly invisible aligners, your child can eat, brush, and play without braces getting in the way.
Regular Check-Ups
Regular check-ups with Dr. Ray ensure that your child’s aligners are working effectively. As their teeth and jaw develop, we’ll make adjustments as needed to keep everything on track.
With Invisalign First, early action leads to big benefits down the road!
