Experience the precision of Invisalign treatment at Copus Orthodontics. Dr. David Copus and our highly trained team provide Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults in Bay City and the Great Lakes Bay Region. With over 25 years of local expertise, we ensure your treatment is managed with clinical excellence and a clearly defined process.
Is Invisalign Treatment Right for You?
Invisalign clear aligners offer a proven, discreet alternative to traditional braces. We provide these custom-made, clear plastic trays to move your teeth into the correct position without the use of metal wires or brackets. Because the aligners are removable, you can maintain your normal diet and oral hygiene routine with ease.
How Does the Invisalign System Work?
Our process is precise and predictable. We use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure your journey is efficient:
- Digital Scans: We use the iTero™ scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth. This replaces uncomfortable traditional impressions.
- Custom Design: We use specialized software to design your personalized treatment plan, showing you a simulation of your potential results.
- Staged Movement: You will receive a series of clear aligners. Each set is worn for approximately two weeks for at least 20 to 22 hours per day.
- Steady Progress: As you switch to each new set in the series, your teeth move gradually into their programmed positions.
What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?
Many patients choose Invisalign treatment for its reliable results and minimal impact on their daily lifestyle:
- Discreet Appearance: The polyurethane plastic is nearly invisible, allowing you to remain composed in social or professional settings.
- Improved Hygiene: You remove the aligners to brush and floss normally, which supports long-term dental health.
- Dietary Freedom: You can continue to eat your favorite foods without the restrictions required by metal brackets.
- Comfort: The smooth material is designed to prevent the irritation often caused by wires.
Invisalign® Treatment Reviews
My daughter was treated by another orthodontist with Invisalign. She did not always follow her treatment plan but was given a chance to improve, which she did. Treatment was completed and her teeth looked okay. About a year later, her dentist expressed concern with her overbite so we brought her to Dr Copus. We should have started with Dr Copus. She ended up with metal braces for two years. They were removed in January and we cannot believe how beautiful her smile looks. Her teeth are so straight. Dr Copus even filed one of her front teeth so they are even. Her smile lights up her face. It’s a huge difference from how her teeth previously looked. Everyone at Dr Copus ‘s office was always friendly and helpful. I wish I would have brought my daughter here first. We are super grateful to Dr Copus and staff for how her smile looks now.
I’m very happy with the service I’ve received so far at Dr. Copus’s office for my Invisalign treatment. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr.Copus is an expert and I highly recommend him for Invisalign treatment.
This is a very efficiently run office. Dr. Copus and all staff are knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. They worked around my travel schedules, etc. for scheduling. Very pleased I chose Copus Orthodontics for my Invisalign.
If orthodontists had loyalty programs, I’m pretty sure my family would qualify for platinum status by now.Over the years, four of my children have been patients at Copus Orthodontics. Between traditional braces for some and Invisalign for the most recent round, we have experienced just about everything orthodontics has to offer. And yes—if I add it all up, I’m probably somewhere around $24,000+ invested in my children’s smiles.Worth it? Absolutely.What makes this office special is the team. They are accommodating, efficient, and incredibly thorough. They take the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely build relationships with the families they serve.And here’s the real testament: we drive an hour and a half to get to this office. Even with my completely unreasonable schedule, they have always worked with us and made every visit smooth.After years of appointments, adjustments, trays, wires, and rubber bands, my kids now have beautiful smiles—and we’ve always felt well cared for along the way.If you’re considering an orthodontist, start here. In my opinion, choosing anyone else would be a travesty - and long term disappointment.
Thank you so much for your expertise and the encouragement you provided throughout my Invisalign treatment. You made the process easy to navigate and helped me feel confident every step of the way.I’m thrilled with my results and so glad I finally decided to do this. I’ll be recommending your office to anyone thinking about Invisalign.I’m incredibly grateful—and excited to show off my pearly whites every time I smile. Thank you again!Stacey Shinkel

Common Questions About Invisalign Treatment
Is Invisalign treatment faster than braces?
The duration of treatment depends on your specific clinical needs. During your consultation, we provide a personalized estimate of your timeline based on your unique dental structure.
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
You may feel slight pressure when starting a new set of aligners. This is a sign that the Invisalign system is applying the precise force needed to move your teeth. Most patients find the smooth plastic very comfortable.
Will my insurance cover Invisalign treatment?
Many insurance providers cover Invisalign clear aligners just as they would traditional braces. Our team will verify your benefits to provide a secure financial plan.
How Do We Provide Invisalign Treatment for Teens?
We offer specialized Invisalign clear aligners for teens to accommodate growing smiles. This version includes "eruption tabs" to hold space for permanent teeth that have not yet emerged. To ensure the treatment remains on track, these aligners also feature "compliance indicators," small dots that fade as the trays are worn—providing steady assurance to parents and doctors that the process is moving forward as planned.
How Should You Care for Your Aligners?
Maintaining your aligners is a simple but essential part of our process. We recommend brushing your teeth after every meal before reinserting your trays to prevent plaque buildup. You should clean the aligners daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Once your treatment is complete, we provide Vivera™ retainers to ensure your results remain secure for years to come.
