Alpha Orthodontics Reviews
We loved our experience with Alpha Orthodontics. Appointments, booking, ease of the process and the people were amazing. If we dropped the ball with scans or check ins they were accommodating and compassionate. We were done in 16 months and my child’s confidence has soared thanks to her new beautiful smile.
I don’t normally leave reviews but this one was a must. The team that took care of my son was 10/10. They were always so kind, informative and helpful. My son knocked a couple brackets off throughout our process and they quickly got him in same or next day. If I had to reschedule due to scheduling conflicts they did their absolute best to accommodate us. My son always had good things to say after each appointment. The atmosphere was always warm and welcoming. We have 8 kids at home and anticipate at least 4 more kiddos needing dental work and we will be coming back here without a doubt. No need to look anywhere else! Thanks Alpha!! See you again soon!!-Ashley Alden
Never had my teeth whitened in an office before. I was nervous, but I got terrific results. Would recommend!
Our daughter had a great experience with Alpha Orthodontics. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We would definitely recommend if you need orthodontics.
Our daughters invisalign placement went very smooth. Scheduling was easy and communication was great! We are very pleased with all the wonderful staff from the front of the office to the back!

Smile Express FAQs
What’s the difference between Smile Express and full treatment?
Smile Express is designed for adults who need mild corrections, and takes as little as about 6 months1. Full orthodontic treatment addresses more complex structural issues and requires more frequent visits to clinics to ensure proper alignment.
Who is a good candidate for Smile Express aligners?
Most adults seeking to improve their smile are potential candidates. During your free consultation, our board-certified orthodontist evaluates the complexity of your needs to ensure Smile Express can provide the results you deserve.
How do I start Smile Express?
Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. Once we confirm you are a candidate, our team scans your smile and reviews your personalized plan. When your kit arrives, you simply wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours a day.
How many appointments are required?
To provide the highest standard of care, we require at least 2 appointments with orthodontist oversight. The first appointment allows us to establish your records and scan your teeth, and the final visit ensures your results meet our professional standards.
Is Smile Express right for you?
We invite you to visit our Mason City or Albert Lea offices to discuss your goals. Our board-certified orthodontist will help you decide if this treatment aligns with your needs.
1Based on mild to moderate malocclusion (defined as crowding and spacing up to 6mm, and overjet and overbite up to 6mm and assuming one week wear), treatment times vary depending on Invisalign product type, wear time, case complexity and must be determined by your doctor.
