Invisalign has treated over 8 million patients worldwide!
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at Collective Dentistry with Dr. Mariangela Smith. During this visit, Dr. Smith will examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. She will also answer any questions you may have about the process, costs, or expected results.
Once you've decided to proceed with Invisalign, Dr. Smith will create a personalized treatment plan for you. This involves taking digital scans of your teeth, which are used to map out their precise movements over the course of your treatment. Using this information, your custom aligners will then be fabricated.
You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they have straightened to their final positions.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. The clear aligners blend in with your natural teeth, making it a discreet option for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic, eliminating the discomfort often associated with the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces. Plus, because the aligners are custom-made for your teeth, you won't have to worry about any irritation or discomfort.
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can continue enjoying your favorite foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. There are no dietary restrictions, and you can easily brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.
Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing for better oral hygiene during treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which can make thorough brushing and flossing challenging, Invisalign users can remove their aligners to clean their teeth properly. This reduces the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease that can sometimes occur with fixed orthodontic appliances.
In some cases, Invisalign treatment can be completed in less time than traditional braces. While treatment duration varies depending on individual needs, many patients see results in as little as 12 to 18 months. The custom-made aligners are designed to move teeth efficiently, often resulting in a shorter overall treatment time compared to conventional orthodontic methods.
Invisalign uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish. This allows you and your orthodontist to visualize the projected results before treatment even begins. You'll have a clear understanding of how your teeth will move and what your smile will look like at the end of the treatment, providing peace of mind and motivation throughout the process.
Invisalign aligners are made from medical-grade, BPA-free thermoplastic material.
Invisalign is designed from molds of your teeth and are built in layers with photo-sensitive liquid resin. When exposed to a laser, the resin cures into a hard yet flexible thermoplastic called SmartTrack®, which was created exclusively for Invisalign treatment, it's FDA approved too!

Most people will not be able to see your aligners when you are wearing them. This is because the clear plastic makes them practically invisible and there are no bulky metal brackets or wires that will draw attention to your teeth. Plus, Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snuggly to your teeth and will be trimmed down so that they won’t show over your gum line. The result is a seamless smile without the hassle of unsightly brackets or wires!
Usually, Invisalign treatment is fairly similar to the cost of braces, but pricing will fluctuate depending on your unique needs.
