Invisalign in Winchester, VA

Hancock Orthodontics offers Invisalign treatment, a clear and innovative option for straightening teeth that’s perfect for patients of any age. Invisalign aligners are designed to be virtually invisible so you can enjoy a natural appearance and maintain confidence throughout your treatment. Invisalign provides a customized, removable alternative to braces, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease.

The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, tailored aligners that gradually shift teeth into the desired positions. Dr. Hancock customizes each treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging, helping patients visualize the transformation of their smiles from start to finish.

Invisalign is known for being comfortable, discreet, and highly effective, offering a convenient option for busy lifestyles. Ideal for patients in Winchester seeking a low-maintenance way to improve their smiles, Invisalign at Hancock Orthodontics is a comfortable and highly effective solution for various alignment issues.

 

Braces in Winchester, VA

For those interested in traditional orthodontic options, Hancock Orthodontics provides several types of braces, each with unique benefits for addressing alignment and bite correction. Braces work by applying gentle pressure over time to move teeth into the ideal positions, creating a beautifully aligned smile.

  • Traditional Metal Braces — Durable and highly effective, traditional metal braces are suitable for patients of all ages. They primarily consist of metal brackets and wires that are adjusted periodically to guide teeth into alignment. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and can even include colored elastics for a fun, personalized look.
  • Ceramic Braces — Ceramic braces use semi-transparent or tooth-colored brackets, blending with the natural color of teeth for a more aesthetic appearance. This option is ideal for teens and adults who want effective results with less visibility.
  • Lingual Braces — Lingual braces are applied to the back of the teeth, making them nearly invisible from the front. They offer the outstanding benefits of traditional braces with the added advantage of a completely hidden treatment option, ideal for patients seeking the utmost discretion.

No matter the choice, our braces options are designed to help patients achieve lasting results that enhance both appearance and oral health. With customized treatment plans and careful attention to individual needs, Hancock Orthodontics provides a tailored experience for each patient’s journey toward a beautiful, functional smile.

Lian S.
We are so pleased with the Invisalign treatment received from Dr Hancock for my son who was 9 at that time. It was a 9 months treatment. Dr Hancock and his team helped us stay on track with everything including initial consultation, treatment plan, all follow ups. And Dr. Hancock is always right on when the teeth would come out. And always explained to us the results for each of our appointment. The whole office is so friendly and super helpful and so responsive. We can’t be happier with the entire journey. If you need Invisalign, Dr Hancock is the best of the best. Highly recommends.
Samera N.
I have two children being seen by Dr Hancock and have had nothing but positive experiences with his practice. My oldest was pretty straight forward and did the Invisalign route. 15 months after starting he is in his Invisalign retainer! My younger child is in braces and its going well, he had a more complicated situation where his grown up teeth didn’t have space to come in and needed his teeth in already moved out of the way. He was able to achieve this with braces and his smile is already looking so improved! We first went to another orthodontist that their pediatric dentist referred us. He wanted to do expanders on both my kids and had a much more painful complicated and lengthy prognosis for both my kids! Im so glad I got the second opinion with Hancock, best decision!! Check him out you won’t regret it!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and your confidence in Dr. Hancock and our team. We’re grateful for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience.
Jenny T.
Dr. Hancock, dental assistants, and office staff are all super. Communication has been easy and they answered countless questions I had. Bed side manner is great and Dr. Hancock takes time with each patient. We didn't feel rushed. My kid just started the invisaline process and was nervous but felt like a champion after her starting appointment. I feel the new office is a bit dated and needs to be refreshed with their own style but that is a process.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Jenny! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock and our team made your child's Invisalign journey so positive. Your insight on the office ambiance is appreciated, and we’ll consider your suggestions moving forward.
Ashley S.
We actually visited the Winchester location-Dr. Hancock did a wonderful job! My daughter had her braces removed today and it was a great experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Ashley! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock provided a great experience for your daughter during her braces removal. We appreciate your trust in us!
Aleks G.
They were great, had my braces on for 2 years while being in Myrtle beach and in state. When something broke they fix it. Great people as well, recommend going.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Kaitlin S.
Dr. Hancock and his team are nothing short of phenomenal! Dr. Hancock makes our kids feel comfortable and safe as he walks them through each treatment and ensures they understand what’s happening and why it will help. I feel like I have even learned a lot about teeth from listening in! The office staff is welcoming and kind, and every technician has been lovely. While nobody is excited to shell out money for orthodontia, the pricing is reasonable and Dr. Hancock and his team are honest and fair. I can’t recommend Dr. Hancock enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Kaitlin! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock and our team made your kids feel comfortable and informed. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
David T.
Dr. Hancock is a fantastic orthodontist. My wife and I are very pleased with the care our children have received under his direction. Strongly recommend visiting his office for an evaluation if you think you need orthodontic care.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this review! Thank you for sharing feedback on your Invisalign experience. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.

What factors influence the cost of orthodontics?
The factors that influence the cost of orthodontics include the complexity of the case, the type of treatment (braces, Invisalign, etc.), the duration of treatment, and the location and expertise of the orthodontist.
