Straighten Your Teeth the Modern Way
If you’ve ever wanted to straighten your teeth without the look and inconvenience of metal braces, modern dentistry offers excellent options. At Lexington Dental Group in Lexington, MA, we help patients achieve healthier, straighter smiles using Invisalign® clear aligners—a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
We proudly serve patients from Lexington, Bedford, Arlington, Burlington, and surrounding communities.
Modern Options for Straightening Teeth
Today, patients have more choices than ever when it comes to improving their smiles. While traditional braces remain effective, many people prefer modern alternatives that fit more easily into their lifestyle.
Two popular cosmetic dentistry options include:
- Invisalign clear aligners
- Dental veneers
Each option serves a different purpose. Invisalign focuses on gradually correcting tooth alignment and bite issues, while veneers offer faster cosmetic enhancement for select cases.
Invisalign vs. Dental Veneers: What’s the Difference?
Dental veneers can dramatically transform a smile in one or two visits. However, veneers require the removal of a small portion of natural tooth enamel and are considered irreversible. In addition, veneers typically need replacement every 5–10 years.
In contrast, Invisalign aligners gently straighten teeth over time without altering the natural tooth structure. Because of this, many patients prefer Invisalign as a more conservative and long-term solution.
During your consultation at Lexington Dental Group, our dentist will help you determine which option best aligns with your smile goals, timeline, and budget.

How Invisalign Works
First, our Lexington dentist creates a personalized digital treatment plan that maps out the movement of your teeth from start to finish. Next, you’ll receive a series of custom-made clear aligners.
Each set of aligners is worn for one to two weeks before moving on to the next. Over time, your teeth shift gradually into their ideal position.
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day.
Keeping Invisalign Aligners Clean Is Simple
Maintaining clean aligners is easy and convenient. Invisalign cleaning crystals remove plaque and bacteria in about 15 minutes, helping to:
- Keep aligners crystal clear
- Control odors and bacteria
- Keep aligners fresh and comfortable
