You Deserve a Plan That's Actually Thought Through

You've likely put off addressing your smile concerns for years. Maybe you had braces as a teenager that didn't hold, or you're noticing wear and shifting that's getting worse.

You need treatment that respects your busy schedule. You need a provider you can trust to deliver conservative, health-focused results.

Old way vs. our way

Invisalign vs. Aligner Therapy

The Old Way
Your dentist sends your scans to the aligner company, and the company designs how your teeth move.
The dentist reviews that design and can request small changes. Most of the planning happens out of sight.
Your bite, wear, and jaw function often don’t come up before treatment starts.
Complex cases often get referred out for braces.
The Tanglewood Way
We take your scans here, and Dr. Lawnin works directly with Daniel Ramos and the Digital Smile Design planning team on your case.
Dr. Lawnin tells them exactly which teeth move, how much force each one gets, and in what order. The plan is built around your mouth from the first move.
It starts with a diagnosis. We map your oral health first, including your bite, your wear patterns, and the strain of everyday use.
More complex cases stay here. When a case needs extra anchorage, Dr. Lawnin and Dr. Korloo place small temporary anchors (TADs) in-house instead of sending you out for braces.

The Tanglewood Dental Associates Difference

Why Our Approach
Changes the Outcome

Multiple doctors. One plan.

Most aligner cases are planned by a single dentist reviewing a setup designed by a non-clinical technician at the aligner company. In our office, every case is reviewed collaboratively — by Dr. Lawnin, Dr. Korloo, and a team of specialists from Digital Smile Design including an orthodontist. More trained eyes means fewer surprises, fewer refinements, and better outcomes.

We monitor you between visits.

With Dental Monitoring, we follow your progress through a phone-based app — so we see how your trays are tracking before a problem develops. If everything is moving correctly, we simply send the next set of trays. You save trips to the office without ever losing touch with your care team.

We can treat cases others can't.

The old assumption — "some cases need metal brackets" — no longer applies in our practice. Through careful collaborative planning, virtually every adult orthodontic case that would have required traditional braces can now be treated with aligners at Tanglewood.

A Few Things Patients
Ask Us Often

Is my case too complicated for aligner therapy?

Probably not. Thanks to our planning process, we're able to treat complex cases that many offices would refer out for traditional braces. A consultation will give us a clear answer quickly — and we'll be honest with you either way.

I've done aligners before and ended up with tons of refinements. Why would this be different?

Refinements most often happen because of under planning — movement goals that weren't fully thought through at the start, or tracking issues caught too late. Our team of specalists and Dental Monitoring app directly address both of those problems. We catch things early, before they cost you months.

How much time will this take out of my schedule?

Far less than you might expect. Because we monitor your progress remotely, many tray changes happen without an in-office visit. When you do come in, appointments are efficient and purposeful. We respect that your time is valuable.

What does treatment cost, and do you offer payment plans?

Treatment is priced based on the complexity of your case. We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans — so treatment can fit your timeline and budget without requiring a large upfront commitment. We'll walk you through the full picture at your consultation. No surprises.

Will my results look natural, or will people be able to tell?

Natural results are the entire philosophy of this practice. We don't believe in "done and obvious." Our goal is a smile that fits your face, your age, and your personality — refined, not overdone. If it looks fake, we haven't done our job.
