Invisalign is orthodontic treatment without the metal. Instead of brackets and wires, you wear a series of clear, custom-fitted plastic trays — called aligners — that gradually shift your teeth into position over time. Each tray is worn for about one to two weeks, then swapped for the next one in the series. Because they’re removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss like normal. Most people around you won’t even notice you’re wearing them. You’re straightening your teeth on your own timeline, without changing how you look in the meantime.
We take a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth — no messy impressions. Using that scan, we map out your entire treatment from start to finish and show you a simulation of what your smile will look like at the end before you commit to anything.
Invisalign manufactures your full set of trays based on the scan. Each one is slightly different, moving your teeth a fraction of a millimeter at a time. Your complete set arrives at our office and we walk you through exactly how to use them.
You wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day, swapping to a new tray every one to two weeks. We schedule periodic check-ins — typically every 6–8 weeks — to make sure your teeth are tracking correctly and to hand off the next trays in your series.
Sometimes toward the end of treatment, a few small adjustments are needed. Refinement trays are made to fine-tune the final result. This is a normal part of the process and is included in your treatment plan.
Once treatment is complete, you’ll wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Most patients wear it nightly long-term. Skipping this step is the #1 reason teeth shift back — we make sure you understand it from day one.
Many dental and orthodontic plans include a lifetime orthodontic benefit that applies to Invisalign just as it would to traditional braces. The amount varies by plan — some cover a flat dollar amount, others a percentage. Our front desk will verify your benefits before your appointment so you have a clear picture of your out-of-pocket cost before you decide anything.
Much less than traditional braces. Most Invisalign patients come in every 6–8 weeks for a quick progress check — no adjustments, no tightening. We also offer Saturday appointments, so if your week is packed with work or school pickups, weekend slots make it easy to stay on track without rearranging your life.
That self-consciousness is exactly why most people come to us. We start with a full scan and show you a projected outcome before any commitment is made — so you can see the realistic end result for your specific teeth. There's no pressure to decide on the spot. We want you to feel confident in the plan before we start, not after.
Yes — we offer family block scheduling specifically for this. You can book your consultation and your teen's appointment back-to-back so you're in and out in one trip. Invisalign Teen is a separate track designed for younger patients still losing teeth, so we'll assess both cases individually and walk you through what makes sense for each.
We offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, which let you spread the cost into monthly payments — some plans with low or no interest periods. Invisalign also tends to be more affordable than people expect, especially when insurance contributes. We'll put together a full breakdown at your consultation so you can compare your options side by side before making any decision.
Yes. Our team speaks English, Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Your entire Invisalign journey — from the initial scan and treatment planning conversation through progress check-ins — can be conducted in the language you're most comfortable with. Understanding your treatment matters to us more than just getting through the appointment.
It depends on your case. Mild corrections can be done in as few as 6 months. More involved cases typically run 12–18 months. The single biggest factor in how fast treatment goes is how consistently you wear the trays — 20–22 hours a day is the target. Patients who stick to that almost always finish on schedule. We'll give you a realistic timeline estimate at your very first visit based on your scan
