Invisalign trays are snug to the teeth, tailor-made for your mouth, and with consistent application, can lead to an improved smile in approximately 12 to 18 months. Many individuals begin noticing differences in their smile just a couple of weeks into the treatment!

Invisalign Could Be Your Solution

It's important to make sure that Invisalign is the appropriate treatment for your unique dental needs. For several patients, it will be just as effective as wearing traditional braces, but severe spacing issues or straightening needs might disallow their use. Invisalign provides offices with software that allows for 3D imaging of the entire mouth and how it functions from patient to patient to properly have the correct molds made. Allowing your orthodontist to virtually preview how your teeth are moving will allow for micro-adjustments throughout your treatment process.

Why you should choose Invisalign®

Since Invisalign is clear, nobody needs to know the secret behind your almost miraculously straightening teeth! Invisalign is worn for roughly 22 hours every day, even when you're asleep. Some patients can complete their treatment regimen in as little as 20 weeks. Invisalign needs to be removed during teeth cleaning and while you are eating, but it is important to understand that there are a few exceptions to what you should consume when using Invisalign. Heavy smokers and those who like to have multiple cups of coffee every day will notice that their Invisalign aligners will begin to turn a shade of yellow over time. To avoid unnecessary straining until your next set of Invisalign is ready to be used, it's good practice to eliminate as many staining foods as possible.

The ease and comfort of Invisalign®

For those who are highly conscious about the idea of having a mouth full of metal, Invisalign might be the best option. However, there are more advantages such as the high level of comfort that Invisalign provides by not causing abrasions or painful ulcers in the mouth by rubbing against the delicate tissues along the inside of the lips. Since Invisalign is easily removable, it becomes far easier and faster to maintain traditional oral hygiene.

Invisalign® vs. traditional braces

For all the advantages of Invisalign, there are still a few drawbacks that are important to be aware of. Invisalign is generally more expensive than traditional braces, and sometimes Invisalign won't be able to straighten teeth insofar as their height relationship with one another. Finally, various lifestyle choices such as consuming an abundance of acidic foods, coffee, or smoking can cause the adhesive that binds your aligners together to weaken over time and causes them to straighten your teeth at a slower rate, extending the treatment process overall. There have also been those who have found that the type of plastic used in order to create Invisalign aligners causes them uncomfortable gum irritation.

Bethanye N Shanklin Apr 6, 2025

As a senior citizen, my teeth were all turning sideways. Even if no one else noticed, I did every time I brushed my teeth. It's been a little over a year and I've completed my treatment. I'm so pleased. It's never too late to correct your teeth. My teeth are straight, even, and look great; I may even smile for you. Mr. Jim and staff did an excellent job and took such good care of me. I'm Jennie and Fruge'...

Dr. Jim Fruge did my braces 20 years ago and now he’s treating two of my kids and the third will start this summer. Even before starting treatment, he saw all 3 of my kids multiple times to track their progress to start their treatments at the right time and not rush us into putting braces on. He understands kids will break brackets or not be as diligent as they should with rubber bands, but he makes sure they understand...

My teenage boys and I have been to both the Denham Springs and Baton Rouge locations for the duration of our treatment. I love the flexibility of the scheduling to accommodate both our work and school times. Dr. Jim is always encouraging and definitely knows what he’s doing. We all started our journey in 2023 and are expected to be finished this year.

Very friendly and prompt service. We did not have to wait at all during the appointment. Dr Jim was wonderful, patient, and caring. He did a great job of relieving my son's anxiety.

Teri Hall Mar 27, 2025

Dr. Jim is a competent, and a good guy. After 3 years, 7 filling and got all of my wisdom teeth taken out, my teeth are now healthy. I've attached before and after photos. Before getting orthodontic treatment, I was very insecure and anxious about my smile. Growing up, I was poor and couldn't get brace until I grew up and got a job. I'd do my best to smile without showing my teeth. Now, I'm comfortable smiling and showing...

Amanda Newman Mar 13, 2025

Quick, easy, and really nice workers. I have only ever gone to the location in Denham Springs, but I had to go to the location in Baton Rouge to get my braces removed since I had to push it back b/c I got sick. The staff were very nice and friendly. I’m unsure of the name of the orthodontic assistant who actually removed my braces but she was very nice and good at her job. I didn’t get poked or...
