FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A: After we scan the patient's teeth using our advanced scanner, it typically takes about two weeks to receive the Invisalign trays and start the treatment.
After the initial scan by our Lumina Itero, we present a Clincheck which gives an accurate representation of treatment outcomes and expectations. Once the Clincheck is approved by the patient we give the ok for the manufacturing of the patient specific aligners which arrive 1-2 weeks later.
Invisalign is widely used in both teens and adults.
Yes! Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces and does a great job with crowding/spacing.
Yes, Invisalign is a great option for patients with crowns because it doesn't attach directly to the teeth like traditional braces. Invisalign is usually my preferred treatment for patients with multiple crowns or veneers.
Yes, Invisalign can expand both the upper and lower posterior teeth, which results in a wider, fuller smile.
On average, I recommend switching trays every two weeks, but this can vary depending on the treatment plan.

The case can be cleaned using a toothbrush and a bit of toothpaste. Simply brush and rinse the case, and it will be clean.
Invisalign, like other orthodontic treatments, applies pressure to the teeth, which can cause discomfort. In some cases, this discomfort may lead to headaches, but it's usually temporary as the patient adjusts.
Invisalign is generally safe, but maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment is crucial. Poor oral hygiene with either braces or Invisalign can lead to periodontal issues, which might result in gum recession.
Yes! Some insurances have orthodontic benefits which includes Invisalign treatment.
Payment options are discussed at consultation.
