Very professional, relatable and nice. Dr Mueller explained options for work needed in a way I could understand but was not pushy. This allowed me to decide on the best treatment going forward. I didn’t have to wait months to get my appointments scheduled and I left feeling confident that my concerns were addressed. If you are looking for a dentist, I would recommend calling for an appointment.
At Chris Mueller, DDS, orthodontic treatment is planned around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Mueller takes time to examine your alignment, evaluate your bite, and understand what you hope to accomplish before developing your Invisalign® plan. His experience as a Silver Plus Invisalign® Provider helps patients receive knowledgeable treatment combined with attentive, personalized care at every stage.
We provide Invisalign® care throughout the entire treatment process, from your first evaluation to maintaining your finished results. Digital planning allows us to determine how your teeth should move and create a personalized sequence of aligners to accomplish those changes gradually. Follow-up visits give us opportunities to assess your progress, answer questions, and help keep treatment moving forward. Once your teeth reach their planned positions, retainers can help preserve your new alignment over the long term.

Invisalign® offers a different experience from fixed orthodontic appliances by using a customized series of transparent, removable trays. The aligners fit closely against the teeth and are designed to make specific, controlled movements as you advance through your treatment sequence. Because the trays are clear, they allow you to work toward a straighter smile without dramatically altering your appearance during the process.
Improved alignment may contribute to healthier function in addition to changing the appearance of your smile. When teeth are crowded or overlapping, certain surfaces may be more difficult to reach during daily cleaning. Bite imbalances can also concentrate pressure on particular teeth. Addressing suitable orthodontic concerns may make hygiene more manageable, distribute biting forces more evenly, and help protect teeth from unnecessary wear.
Advantages of Invisalign®
- Discreet smile correction – Clear trays keep treatment subtle while your teeth gradually move toward improved alignment.
- Smooth custom design – Aligners are created specifically for your teeth without the brackets and wires associated with conventional braces.
- Fewer food limitations – Take your trays out before meals so orthodontic appliances don’t dictate what you can eat.
- Familiar hygiene routine – Remove the aligners to brush and floss directly around every tooth and along the gumline.
- Personalized treatment sequence – Digital planning determines a progression of movements based on your individual orthodontic needs.
- Flexible daily wear – Invisalign® can work comfortably with professional responsibilities, social plans, travel, and an active lifestyle.
Cosmetic Treatments That Can Elevate Your Final Result
- Teeth whitening – Brightens discoloration and staining to give your newly aligned smile an additional cosmetic boost.
- Tooth bonding – Uses tooth-colored material to refine chipped areas, small spaces, worn edges, or slightly irregular tooth contours.
- Dental veneers – Improve the visible shape, shade, size, and proportions of selected teeth when further aesthetic changes are desired.
- Smile makeover – Creates a coordinated cosmetic plan using multiple appropriate treatments to address several smile concerns together.
