Meet Dr. Stacie Morrison
Dr. Stacie Morrison, a proud Wyoming native, grew up in Cheyenne and began her journey in dentistry at the University of Wyoming before earning her dental degree from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry.

Introduction
Suppose you've been told your teeth are too crooked or your bite is too off for anything other than metal braces. In that case, you might wonder if Invisalign is an option. The good news is that clear aligners like Invisalign have come a long way. With the right dentist and treatment plan, even severe dental problems can be treated without brackets and wires.
At Summit View Dentistry, Dr. Stacie Morrison, a Gold Invisalign Provider, uses advanced tools and training to treat many complex cases using Invisalign. In this blog, we'll explain how Invisalign works for difficult cases, the process, and what to expect if your case is more than just a simple fix.
What Counts as a Severe Dental Issue?
In dentistry, some problems are considered more serious than others. These include:
Teeth that are very crowded or overlapping
Large gaps between teeth
Overbite or underbite
Crossbite or open bite
Teeth that are twisted or turned
A mix of several bite or alignment issues
These problems don't just affect your smile. They can make it harder to eat, speak, and even keep your teeth clean.
Can Invisalign Treat Severe Problems?
Yes, Invisalign can treat many severe cases. The key is not just the aligners but how they are used. With a skilled provider like Dr. Stacie Morrison, Invisalign solutions for difficult dental cases are possible. Invisalign becomes more than just a set of trays. It becomes a fully planned treatment designed to solve your specific issues. For more information on how Invisalign works, check this page.
Technology and techniques have improved over the years, making it possible to treat more complex dental cases with Invisalign than ever before.
The Summit View Approach to Invisalign
Here's what the process looks like when you choose Summit View Dentistry for your Invisalign treatment
Step 1: Consultation
It all begins with a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Morrison. She will check your teeth, bite, and decide if Invisalign can work for your case.
Step 2: Scans, Pictures, and X-rays
You'll be scheduled for a digital teeth scan, pictures, and X-rays. These help build a full picture of your mouth.
Step 3: Your ClinCheck Plan
Dr. Morrison will use all the data from your scans to create a 3D digital plan called a ClinCheck. This plan shows how your teeth will move with each new tray. You'll get to see your future smile even before treatment begins.
Dr. Morrison is trained in advanced Invisalign techniques. While most Invisalign treatments take about 11 months, her average case finishes in about 6 months because of her experience and detailed planning.
Step 4: Start Wearing Your Trays
Once you approve the ClinCheck plan, your trays will be ready. You will wear them 24 hours a day, including eating, drinking, and sleeping. The only time to remove them is to clean your teeth.
What Happens When Treatment is Done?
You'll receive a retainer at the end of your Invisalign treatment. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new position. You'll wear them full-time for the first 3 months. After that, you can switch to wearing them at night. This helps protect your smile and keeps your results from slipping.
