Clear Aligners Designed for the Gulf Coast Lifestyle

Gulfport is a community that shows up for outdoor festivals, seafood on the beach, family cookouts, and everything in between. Invisalign was made for exactly that. Because the aligners are completely removable, your social life does not change one bit during treatment. Take them out for your sister’s wedding rehearsal dinner, put them back in on the drive home. Eat whatever you want at Mary Mahoney’s, then brush and replace. No wires to worry about, no brackets catching food at the worst possible moment.

It is a treatment designed for people who want results without disruption, which is why Invisalign has become one of the most popular orthodontic treatments among Gulfport teens and adults at Smiles by Design.

How Invisalign Works at Smiles by Design

Invisalign works through a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that apply controlled pressure to shift your teeth gradually into alignment. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before advancing to the next in the series. Dr. Rahaim uses the iTero digital scanner to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth, replacing messy traditional molds, and uses that model to plan every tooth movement before you receive your first aligner.

1. Free Consultation:

Dr. Rahaim examines your teeth, reviews your goals, and confirms whether Invisalign is the right fit for your case. No charge, no pressure.
A 5 to 10-minute iTero scan maps your teeth in 3D. You can see a preview of your projected final smile before treatment begins.
Your full series of Invisalign aligners is precision-manufactured based on Dr. Rahaim’s treatment plan.
Wear aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. Check in with Dr. Rahaim every four to eight weeks to monitor progress.

Once your teeth reach their final position, a retainer keeps them there. Dr. Rahaim provides ongoing support through this phase.
