How Invisalign Actually Works
See Your New Smile First
Our iTero scanner creates a 3D model of your teeth in minutes, then shows you a preview of your results—no guesswork involved.
Get Your Custom Plan
Dr. Shen designs your personalized treatment using precise digital planning that maps out every tooth movement.
Wear Your Clear Aligners
You'll get several sets of custom aligners to wear 20-22 hours daily, switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually move.
Enjoy Your Results
After treatment, you'll wear a custom retainer to keep your new smile looking perfect.
What Invisalign Can Fix
Crowded Teeth
When your teeth don't have enough room, aligners gradually create the space needed for proper alignment and easier cleaning.
Gaps Between Teeth
Whether it's one noticeable gap or several spaces, Invisalign closes them for a more uniform, confident smile.
Bite Problems
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites aren't just cosmetic issues—they can cause jaw pain, tooth wear, and difficulty chewing.
General Crookedness
Misaligned teeth are harder to clean and can affect your confidence, but Invisalign straightens them predictably and comfortably.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
Nobody Will Know
The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can smile confidently throughout treatment without feeling self-conscious about metal braces.
No Food Restrictions
Remove your aligners to eat whatever you want—pizza, popcorn, apples, candy—then brush and put them back in.
Easy Teeth Clean
Unlike braces with wires and brackets, you can brush and floss normally by simply removing your aligners.
Comfortable Treatment
Smooth plastic aligners won't cut your cheeks or cause the soreness that traditional braces often do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What keeps my teeth straight after treatment?
We'll provide a custom retainer and show you exactly how to maintain your new smile for life.
How often do I need to come in?
We'll see you every 6-8 weeks to check your progress and give you your next sets of aligners—quick, easy appointments.
Am I too old for Invisalign?
Age isn't a factor—we treat teens and adults successfully. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you're likely a candidate.
Will people notice I have a lisp?
Most patients adjust to speaking with aligners within a few days. Any initial speech changes are temporary and barely noticeable.
How do I keep my aligners clean?
Gently brush them with lukewarm water and mild soap when you brush your teeth. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
Can I drink coffee or wine with aligners in?
Remove aligners for anything except water to prevent staining and warping. This also protects your teeth from sugary or acidic drinks.
What if I forget to wear my aligners?
For best results, wear them 20-22 hours daily. The more consistent you are, the faster and more predictable your results will be.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Treatment cost depends on your specific case complexity. We offer CareCredit financing and work with most PPO insurance plans to make it affordable.
Will it hurt?
You might feel pressure when you switch to new aligners—that's your teeth moving! Any discomfort is mild and typically lasts just a day or two.
How long will my treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment in 12-18 months, but simple cases can be finished in as little as 6 months.
