I travel an hour for the most friendly, competent, and dedicated staff. Not many places around where the staff genuinely know each patient. Dr's. Alan and Brian always impress me. All I can say is thank you.

I have been avoiding the dentist for years because of fear from past experiences. The entire staff at Kasperowski Dental has made me feel so comfortable from the moment you walk into the office until you leave. They listen to you and make the entire experience a pleasant one. Dr. Bryan is the BEST!

Preview Your Results
Kasperowski Family Dentistry in Westfield, MA, uses a sophisticated iTero scanner that not only captures an image of your teeth but can also create a computer simulation of what your smile will look like before, during, and after treatment. In addition to seeing a preview of your new smile, the simulations also let you monitor your progress throughout treatment so you can see how far you've come and stay motivated.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign orthodontics uses clear aligner trays to gently move your teeth into alignment. The first step is creating a series of custom trays for your Invisalign treatment. After that, treatment is just a matter of wearing one of the trays for two weeks before moving to the next tray in the series. Each aligner moves your teeth a little closer to your goal and by the last tray, your smile has been transformed.
Unlike braces, the aligners are removable so you can eat your favorite foods. And you won't have to spend extra time at the end of the day trying to brush and floss around traditional braces when you would rather be crawling into bed.
We Excel at Treating Complex Cases
Invisalign revolutionized orthodontics. This advanced orthodontics treatment is continually improving, allowing us to successfully treat even complex cases, such as teeth that are twisted and sitting behind other teeth. In these difficult situations, the dentists at Kasperowski Family Dentistry in Westfield, MA, can pair aligners with "attachments" to move a tooth into the correct position. Attachments are tiny, tooth-colored bumps that we place on the surface of select teeth. This allows the aligner to grip the tooth and move it precisely. After treatment is over, the attachments are easily removed.
Who's a Good Candidate For Invisalign Treatments?
The most important requirement for Invisalign treatment is agreeing to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Because aligners can't move your teeth unless you are wearing them, you should only take the trays out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Good candidates should also be in good oral health. If you have cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues, we will want to treat these problems before you start your Invisalign treatment.
Dental issues that make you a good Invisalign candidate include:
- Gaps
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Open Bite
- Overcrowded Teeth
- Overlapping Teeth
- Crooked Teeth
In a Hurry? See If You Qualify for Invisalign Express
Invisalign Express works the same way as traditional Invisalign, but faster. While traditional Invisalign usually requires 20 to 30 aligners and 10 to 15 months to complete treatment, Invisalign Express uses 10 aligners or less. That cuts treatment time to about six months. While this faster method isn't for everyone, it can successfully treat minor issues with crowding, spacing, and tooth rotation.
Treatment Steps
"Using computer simulation, we can show you what your smile will look like before, during, and after treatment."
In order to continue enjoying your newly enhanced smile, you'll need to wear a retainer or your last tray in the series while you sleep. We can discuss the best option for you when you meet with our team.
