Dr. Robert Shafer, DMD, MS is a board-certified orthodontist and founder of Shafer Smiles, serving Champaign and Mahomet, Illinois since 1994. Over 30 years and more than 10,000 transformed smiles later, he has earned recognition as a Top 1% Invisalign provider worldwide, a distinction held by fewer than one in a hundred practicing orthodontists globally. His expertise runs deep enough that he authored 'A Clear Difference: A Guide to Invisalign,' a published patient resource that explains the treatment in plain, practical terms. Dr. Shafer treats 99% of his cases with Invisalign, which means clear aligner therapy is his primary clinical method, not a side offering layered onto a general practice. His care model combines advanced digital scanning, 3D treatment planning, and the Shafer Time Saver remote monitoring program to deliver precise results up to 50% faster than traditional timelines. He treats patients of every age, from early childhood intervention starting at age six through complex adult realignment, using a coaching philosophy designed to keep every patient on track from the first scan to the final retainer.
