Invisalign Clear Aligners
Straighter teeth, plus protection from fractures, gum problems, and unnecessary wear.
It’s Not Just About a Straight Smile
• Protects teeth from uneven pressure, fractures, and gum recession
• Nearly invisible — nobody notices during meetings or conversations
• Removable for eating and cleaning — no food restrictions
• Pricing comparable to traditional braces at Namu Dental Care
Most people think Invisalign is a cosmetic choice. Dr. Daniel Dafo sees it differently. When teeth aren’t aligned properly, certain teeth absorb more force than they should. Over time, that leads to fractures, gum recession, and wear patterns that create bigger problems.
Invisalign corrects the alignment, redistributes the force, and makes it easier to clean between teeth. Three out of four patients have some degree of malocclusion. Many don’t know it until Dr. Dafo shows them on a scan.
Why Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?
Braces work, but they come with bracket emergencies, wire adjustments, food restrictions, and cleaning challenges. Invisalign eliminates all of that. The clear trays are computer-designed, changed weekly, and can move teeth in multiple directions at once — often meaning shorter treatment.
For adults who don’t want metal during meetings and meals, Invisalign fits into real life. Remove to eat, brush normally, and swap to a new tray every week.
Affordable Pricing in Stafford
At Namu Dental Care, Dr. Dafo has worked to bring Invisalign pricing close to the same range as braces — around $5,000 — well below the $6,500-$7,000 you might see closer to DC. Financing through CareCredit and Cherry makes it even more manageable.
