At Delaware Dental Studio, we offer Invisalign because we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve their smile goals. Many patients are interested in correcting crooked teeth but don’t want to commit to a highly visible treatment with metal braces. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without any metal or rubber bands. Plus, treatment typically takes less than a year. Invisalign is the most conservative way to cosmetically enhance your smile.
Call us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Fee, our Wilmington dentist, to determine whether this is the right treatment option for you. Your initial consultation is always free!
Invisalign is an invisible, removable, and comfortable aligner that painlessly straightens your teeth. Instead of using brackets, wires, and rubber bands to move your teeth, Invisalign uses special clear aligners that are nearly invisible when worn. These aligners are designed to correct most minor-to-moderate orthodontic issues. Since Invisalign is discrete and does not affect speech, this method of orthodontic correction is very popular among adults who wish to avoid traditional braces.
Your Invisalign treatment process will begin with a consultation with Dr. Fee, where she’ll discuss your smile goals and determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign. If you have minor to moderate orthodontic issues such as crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth, Invisalign may be right for you. However, more serious jaw and bite issues may be better served with traditional metal braces.
Once you’ve been approved for treatment, Dr. Fee will work with Invisalign to develop a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan. When your aligners arrive at our office, you’ll wear each set for 20-22+ hours per day. About every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners.
About every 3 months, you’ll come into our office for a quick checkup and to get your next few sets of aligners. Most patients require between 20-24 sets of aligners, making the average treatment time around one year.
Invisalign involves wearing a series of clear aligners for about 6 to 15 months. You wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush your teeth (and floss!). As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position as prescribed by Dr. Fee’s digital smile design.
You’ll visit our office about once every three months to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Contact us today for a free Wilmington, Delaware Invisalign consult.
The iTero is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that is unparalleled in the dental industry. In essence, it is a tool that enables Dr. Fee and her team to easily scan your mouth without having to use unpleasant “goopy” impressions. And the results are simply amazing: Three-dimensional dental images with perfect clarity.

For patients who are candidates for Invisalign aligners, an accurate impression is essential for the highest-level treatment planning and orthodontic care. The accuracy and detail of the iTero scan versus a putty impression (which most dentists use) is comparable to a black and white television versus a 4k ultra-high definition television, i.e., there is no comparison. The iTero enables Dr. Fee, an Invisalign specialist, to provide the highest level of Invisalign care to all her patients.
Time lapse technology enables you to take past digital impressions from Delaware Dental Studio’s iTero digital intraoral scanner, then compare them on one screen with a current scan to view tooth movement, tooth wear, and gingiva changes in one three-dimensional image.
The iTero is also an integral part of Dr. Fee’s laser carved all porcelain crowns. To provide the ultimate porcelain crown result and patient experience, Dr. Fee uses the iTero to scan her Wilmington patients’ teeth and send directly to the laboratory. The use of the iTero, a piece of technology few dental offices have, coupled with Dr. Fee’s years of experience offers the patients of Delaware Dental Studio the highest-level of care available in Wilmington, Delaware.
Invisalign Go is an accelerated Invisalign treatment plan for simpler orthodontic cases. If you have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, Invisalign Go typically takes just 3–7 months and no more than 20 sets of aligners. At your first orthodontic consultation, Dr. Fee can tell you within minutes whether you are a candidate for Invisalign Go.
