Love Your Smile, and Your Aligners
"I love my braces"
...said no one, ever!
At Cardinal Dental, you can get a straighter smile designed by an industry leader who literally teaches the "gold standard" of Invisalign treatment!
Cardinal Dental Founder, Dr. Cyndi Blalock DDS is a Platinum Plus Invisalign Provider and a faculty member at Molis Coaching, where she trains other dentists in advanced Invisalign techniques.
Dr. Cyndi's proficiency in Invisalign treatment is evident in her ability to comfortably correct crooked teeth, gapped teeth, underbites, overbites and crowded teeth - even in complex cases.

Straighten your smile with the most comfortable, discreet orthodontic technology.
Invisalign isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating healthy, functional bites that allow patients to chew, speak, and live with confidence.
At Cardinal Dental, we understand that you want to look your best. After all, your smile is often the first thing that people notice about you.
Many of our patients approach us wanting to improve the appearance of their smiles with orthodontics, but do not want to commit to the traditional bracket-and-wire braces that are noticeable and can be inconvenient.
Your dream smile might be closer (and clearer!) than you think. Book an appointment to discover what a more beautiful, better-functioning smile can do for you.

YOU'VE HEARD THE BUZZ

Invisalign is great for older teens and adults who want to solve orthodontic issues without braces.
Invisalign is an innovative and discreet way to straighten misaligned teeth. Whether you dislike the appearance of your smile or you have difficulty with your bite due to overcrowding, overlapping, or oddly spaced teeth, Invisalign may provide the solution you've been looking for.
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners fit into your lifestyle and help you retain a healthy, confident smile during treatment.
Using clear plastic aligner trays, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth using constant low-force pressure. As long as you are wearing your Invisalign trays, your teeth are moving. For the best results, you should wear your trays for at least 22 hours each day.
About every two weeks, you can trade in your aligner trays for new ones that take you one step closer to your ideal smile.
Invisalign makes smile makeovers easier!
But beyond aesthetics, straight teeth are key to your overall health.
No food restrictions. Enjoy all your favorite foods with removable trays!
Better fit, better speech. Because your clear aligner trays will fit your teeth tightly and stay put, speaking will not be a problem.
Discreet Comfort: Aligners are custom-molded with smooth plastic, eliminating sores on the insides of your cheeks that can occur with sharp braces brackets. Most people won't even notice you are wearing them!
No more tune-ups: Invisalign utilizes low-force pressure, so you can avoid the dreaded tightening appointments needed for traditional braces.
Easier, More Effective Oral Care: You can remove your aligner trays to brush and floss your teeth for convenient home care.
When you visit our office, we will perform a complete oral evaluation to make sure Invisalign will work for you. It works best for older teen patients and adults who want to solve simple orthodontic issues without braces.
Once we determine you are a good candidate for Invisalign, we will take impressions, digital x-rays, and diagnostic images to send to our trusted dental lab where they will create your clear aligner trays.
When you receive your trays, we recommend that you wear them for about two weeks before trading them in for the next set. Wearing your aligner trays as recommended is essential to the success of your treatment.
Every two weeks or so (as prescribed) you will need to swap your existing aligner trays for new aligner trays.
As time progresses, we will schedule periodic exams to make sure your are comfortable and your treatment is on track.
Once you complete treatment, you will need to wear a retainer, as with any orthodontics. This will keep your teeth from drifting to their original location and will protect your new smile!

I am so proud to share that Cardinal Dental is a Platinum Plus Invisalign Provider!

This beautiful transformation is more than just teeth. Our patient came to us with a deep bite that wasn’t just affecting her smile—it was affecting her airway. After completing Invisalign treatment, she told us she’s sleeping better, breathing easier, and finally feeling rested when she wakes up.
That’s the power of a healthy bite. Form meets function. Beauty meets breath.

Transforming smiles, one bite at a time! This incredible case highlights the power of Invisalign to correct a posterior cross bite - in just 12 months!
By using clear aligners, we were able to guide this patient’s teeth into proper alignment, improving not just their smile but also their function and long-term oral health.
yes, you should invest in a straighter smile
Crooked or gapped teeth don't just affect your appearance. Teeth that are well-spaced and aligned are also healthier. Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to keep clean. In addition, straight teeth help your jaw to function properly.
Misalignment can put unnecessary strain on certain jaw muscles, putting you at risk for TMJ discomfort down the road. Invisalign is a great option to boost your smile appearance and protect jaw function and oral health.
Cardinal Dental offers orthodontics for teens and adults. We use the latest technology and techniques in modern dentistry, which often means safer, faster and more comfortable treatments for our patients. Contact our St. Peters office today to schedule your consultation for Invisalign aligners.
