Traditional braces work well—but they don’t always work well with adult life. Between work meetings, social events, and everyday errands, many adults want a treatment that blends into their lives, not one that disrupts them. Invisalign offers that flexibility. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and designed to straighten your teeth without interrupting your routine.
Invisalign doesn’t come with food restrictions or complicated cleaning routines. You take the aligners out to eat, so you can enjoy the foods you love without worry. Brushing and flossing stay the same—no need for special tools. And because they’re clear, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. It’s a subtle solution that doesn’t shout “orthodontic treatment.”
Metal brackets can cause irritation and require frequent adjustments. Invisalign aligners are smooth, custom-fitted, and replaced every couple of weeks—no tightening needed. You’ll receive a series of trays that gradually shift your teeth into place, often with fewer office visits than traditional braces. It’s a high level of control with less hassle.
It’s never too late to invest in your smile. Whether you missed braces as a teen or your teeth have shifted over time, Invisalign can help. Many adult patients see noticeable improvements in just months—and those changes often go hand-in-hand with better oral hygiene and confidence.
At Harnick Orthodontics in Albuquerque, NM, Dr. Kari Harnick Graeber and Dr. David Harnick help adults get the smiles they’ve always wanted—on their own terms. Invisalign offers a modern, effective path to straighter teeth without metal brackets or lifestyle disruption. Call today to schedule your consultation and find out if clear aligners are right for your goals.
"Dear Patients,
I am writing to share an important update about our practice. After much thought and consideration, I have made the very difficult decision to consolidate our two locations into one main office at Montgomery Pkwy. This was not a decision I made lightly, as I know how important convenience and continuity are for our patients and families.
Please know that my patients remain my top priority, and I want to ensure that no one feels left without support during this transition. To help with this, I worked out an arrangement with the new owner of the Golf Course Rd. office that will allow me to continue seeing patients there for a period of time after the transition.
Appointments at the Golf Course office will be limited.
Preference will be given to patients who began treatment at the Golf Course location.
Over time, most patients will transition fully to our Montgomery Pkwy office.
This arrangement was made with you in mind—to provide continuity of care and make the transition as smooth as possible.
I want to thank you for trusting us with your orthodontic care. I am committed to seeing you through your treatment and look forward to continuing your journey at our Montgomery Pkwy location.
If you have any questions about scheduling or the transition, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office.
With gratitude,
Kari Harnick Graeber DDS, MS
Harnick Orthodontics"
