We are a Certified Invisalign Provider

Dr. Hurst is a certified Invisalign orthodontist providing patients with a comfortable, effective way to straighten their teeth in less time.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are impossible for anyone to notice – allowing you to keep your orthodontic treatment between yourself and the staff at Hurst Orthodontics. With an average treatment time of just 12 to 16 months, you can achieve your desired smile in half the time. Contact our office to schedule your complimentary Invisalign evaluation and find out if you or your child is a candidate for Invisalign or Invisalign Teen.
