How can we help you?

Invisalign Clear Braces
At Anthony Bartels DDS Family Dentistry, we’re pleased to offer Invisalign clear braces for our Jonesboro patients who want to straighten their teeth without metal braces. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that has helped millions of adults achieve the straight, symmetrical smile they’ve always wanted.
Instead of having metal brackets and wires affixed to your teeth, Invisalign uses a series of crystal-clear plastic aligners that gently nudge your teeth into the desired position.
Benefits of Using Invisalign over Metal Braces
The most obvious benefit of choosing Invisalign is that there’s no metal to mar your smile and most people won’t notice that you’re wearing them. With smooth plastic aligners instead of metal that can poke into your mouth, you won’t experience the soreness or irritation you would with traditional braces.
Invisalign in Jonesboro, AR
After Dr. Bartels plans your Invisalign treatment at our Jonesboro dental office, you will receive a custom-made series of clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. We will instruct you to wear each set for one to two weeks, then switch to the next set of aligners.
The best thing about Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. Take them out at mealtime and enjoy all the foods you love without restriction. When it’s time for oral hygiene, you can take your aligners out to brush and floss thoroughly and protect yourself from cavities and gum disease.
If you would like to schedule an appointment to learn more about Invisalign clear aligners, please call our Jonesboro dental office, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
At the office of Jonesboro dentist Anthony Bartels, DDS, we strive to make dentistry affordable to our patients because we know that finances are a concern for most families these days.

If you do incur out-of-pocket expenses, we offer an in-house membership plan! We also offer CareCredit as a payment option for our patients. You can apply easily online at carecredit.com and get pre-approved for a line of credit that includes some interest-free options. With CareCredit, you can use your credit card at the eye doctor, vet, and for cosmetic services, as well!
We also offer an in-house financing option for our patients. When you call us or visit, we can provide more details about terms and conditions.
We provide many options so that you do not have to put off your necessary dental treatment, potentially making your condition worse and more expensive. Our options also make it easier for you to pay for elective procedures over time, including cosmetic dentistry.
If you have questions about your particular coverage and which payment options will work best for you, give us a call. We are happy to help.
Invisalign treatment is customized for each patient’s unique needs, but the average treatment time is 12-18 months. It’s difficult to be specific because everyone who visits our Jonesboro dentist for Invisalign treatment has different tooth alignment issues.
What Affects Invisalign Treatment Times?
Some people need to correct dental bite issues, while others are more interested in an aesthetic solution that straightens only the teeth that show when they smile.
Another variable is compliance; wearing your aligners for 20–22 hours a day as recommended by your Invisalign dentist means finishing treatment faster than leaving them out for long periods.
Invisalign Treatment Is Convenient and Comfortable
Even if your treatment takes a year or longer, Invisalign makes the process comfortable, convenient, and discreet.
- For adults, one of the most significant benefits of Invisalign is that the crystal-clear aligners won’t detract from their smiles. Your treatment can remain your secret because most people won’t notice your aligners.
- You can also remove your aligners for oral hygiene and meals, so there are none of the food restrictions you would have with metal braces.
- With Invisalign, you’ll also stay motivated because you’ll see your teeth getting a little straighter every time you switch out your aligners.
