Invisalign Provider
Certified & Experienced
Clear Aligners
Invisalign in Meridian, Idaho
Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom made from a digital scan of your smile. No metal brackets, no wires, and no food restrictions. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
As a certified Invisalign provider, Dr. Peterson personally plans and monitors every case. Treatment starts with a free consultation and digital scan, so you can see a preview of your new smile before you commit to anything.
- Virtually invisible, so you can smile with confidence during treatment
- Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
- Comfortable smooth plastic with no brackets or wires
- Fewer office visits than traditional braces
- Ideal for image-conscious adults and busy teens
Proven Orthodontics
Braces for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Braces remain the most precise and reliable way to correct crowding, gaps, bite issues, and complex alignment problems. At Peterson Family Dentistry, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces that blend in with your natural tooth color.
Because braces stay on your teeth full time, they work around the clock without relying on you to remember anything. That makes them a great fit for younger patients and for cases where aligners alone can’t get the job done.
- Traditional metal braces for dependable, efficient results
- Clear ceramic braces for a more discreet look
- Handles complex cases that aligners can't always fix
- Compliance is built in, nothing to take out or lose
- Often the most budget-friendly orthodontic option
