Clear Aligners

Invisalign in Meridian, Idaho

Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom made from a digital scan of your smile. No metal brackets, no wires, and no food restrictions. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

As a certified Invisalign provider, Dr. Peterson personally plans and monitors every case. Treatment starts with a complimentary consultation and digital scan, so you can see a preview of your new smile before you commit to anything.

  • Virtually invisible, so you can smile with confidence during treatment
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
  • Comfortable smooth plastic with no brackets or wires
  • Fewer office visits than traditional braces
  • Ideal for image-conscious adults and busy teens

Proven Braces Results

Braces for Kids, Teens, and Adults

Braces remain the most precise and reliable way to correct crowding, gaps, bite issues, and complex alignment problems. At Peterson Family Dentistry, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces that blend in with your natural tooth color.

Because braces stay on your teeth full time, they work around the clock without relying on you to remember anything. That makes them a great fit for younger patients and for cases where aligners alone can’t get the job done.

  • Traditional metal braces for dependable, efficient results
  • Clear ceramic braces for a more discreet look
  • Handles complex cases that aligners can't always fix
  • Compliance is built in, nothing to take out or lose
  • Often the most budget-friendly treatment option

What Our Patients Say

Five-star rated by Meridian families

Chase T.
Dr Peterson and his staff are knowledgable, thorough, and so kind! I have been going to his office for over two years now and I have been very satisfied with how they have taken care of me and I feel like my preventative plan is in place and is working because of their efforts. My son is getting his braces from this office as well - they can take care of the whole family. Thank you!
Providence
The best dental practice I have ever been to. They are kind, professional and actually care. They have a treatment coordinator that walks you through everything, insurance wise, there is no guessing. The dentist is SO nice, very knowledgeable and genuinely just wants to help you. The hygienists are very knowledgeable, fast and kind. The receptionist is kind and knowledgeable. I don’t live in Idaho I was just getting quick work done on a dead tooth and I am actually sad that I can’t have them as my dentist because I live in another state. If your insurance is accepted here, seriously go! I am praying that I will find as good as a dentist office as this place back in my hometown. They also accept kids and although I don’t have kids these people are so warm I wouldn’t second guess bringing my kids here.

When I first came to see Dr. Peterson and his team, I was feeling overwhelmed after having some poor-quality dental work done in Mexico. I had visited a few other dentists before, but unfortunately experienced a lot of judgment and a lack of compassion, which made the process of fixing my teeth even more difficult. Finding Dr. Peterson was truly a blessing. From the very beginning, he and his staff were nothing but kind, gentle, and completely nonjudgmental. They made me feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. I needed extensive work done, including having a full dental bridge removed and redone, wisdom teeth extraction, and multiple fillings. Every single procedure was thoroughly explained to me with patience and respect, and to my surprise, completely painless!! I always felt informed, comfortable, and confident in my care. Dr. Peterson and his entire team are simply incredible. They not only restored my smile, but also my confidence. I have never felt happier! I am beyond grateful to have found a dentist who treats patients with such compassion and understanding. I will absolutely continue seeing Dr. Peterson for years to come and cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a dentist who is truly kind, skilled, and life-changing, this is the place to go.
Anthony R.
I am a newer patient . All I can say is that I truly look forward to my next visit. The doctor is amazing and same with the staff! Had 2 teeth pulled and forgot why I was their and enjoyed the movie while they did what they are best at! Looking for a dentist, you will be disappointed
Ashika W.
Love this place! Great staff and the doctor is a great guy. We have been taking my son here since he was 3.
David W.
I don't know what I would do without Dr Peterson. After many years I actually don't mind going to the dentist. I am 70+ and have seen many dentists. Dr Peterson is the greatest ever. I recommend him as the very best in dentistry.
Mikayla W.
Dr. Peterson was a life saver when I chipped my tooth! I was worried about cost and method, he made it stress free and painless!
Kristen D.
Amazing office from front to back! We have been with Dr Peterson for years and they always take amazing care of our family! My husband and both sons are patients and their office makes the experience seamless including booking appointments together for cleanings or anything else we need. He has fixed previous dental work for me in the past, and does such an amazing job and makes sure we are comfortable the entire time!!! Best dentist I have ever had!!! Thank you so much !! 💙
Zachary P.
This has been my favorite dentist office I have ever been. It is as wonderful experience as going to the dentist could possibly be. The hygienist is the best! The doctor is also the best! Both are meticulous and friendly.
Christopher H.
Truly a family dentist! This clinic was one of the only ones we could find that was open and flexible for our son's dentistry needs. Other clinics wouldn't work with us and only offered what they saw fit. The staff here is beyond friendly and understanding. If you are seeking an alternative for your current clinc or for a family dentist stop your search and get an appointment now! Thank you!
