Whether it's minor crowding or a more involved bite correction, our Invisalign Clear Aligners process starts with a scan, not a mold, and a simulation you actually get to review.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
An intraoral scanner captures your bite in minutes, replacing the old alginate tray most patients dread.
We review the simulation together and adjust the plan before any trays are manufactured.
We explain exactly which teeth need attachments or IPR and why, before treatment begins.
The full course of aligners, refinement trays, and check-ins is quoted as one package price before you start.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
The scan and screening visit determines complexity and gives you a realistic treatment-length estimate. More complex bite issues may still qualify, just with a longer projected timeline.
You'll see your projected tooth movement on-screen, stage by stage, before a single tray is manufactured. Ask questions here — this is the easiest point to change course if something doesn't look right.
Small attachments give aligners extra grip on certain teeth, and IPR creates minimal space where crowding requires it. IPR is done in tiny increments, well within enamel safety limits.
Each tray is worn roughly one to two weeks before moving to the next, typically 20 to 22 hours a day. We'll flag early if trays aren't tracking properly so we can adjust before it compounds.
Periodic in-office or virtual check-ins confirm teeth are tracking with the simulation. Virtual check-ins are available for patients who can't easily come in as often.
A final refinement round fine-tunes any remaining minor movement before treatment is considered complete. Retainer wear schedules are explained clearly, including the long-term nighttime routine.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Invisalign Clear Aligners at any of our affiliated offices.
A quick call gets your scan booked and starts the simulation process.
See your projected tooth movement on-screen before committing to treatment.
Once approved, your first sets of aligners are ordered and fitted.
Regular check-ins confirm your teeth are tracking with the simulation until refinement and retention.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment with us in the past year.
“Seeing the simulation before committing made the decision so much easier. I knew roughly what to expect the whole way through.”
“No goop trays for the impression, just a quick scan. Should have looked into this years ago.”
“The refinement trays were already included in my quote, so there was no surprise bill at the end of treatment.”
“My teeth actually tracked ahead of the simulation timeline, and they caught it and adjusted my check-in schedule accordingly.”
“Attachments were barely noticeable, and the whole process felt a lot less intimidating than traditional braces would have.”
These are the questions California patients ask most before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Mild cases can finish in six months; more complex cases may take twelve to eighteen months, based on your simulation.
The scan and screening visit will tell us honestly whether aligners are the right tool for your case.
Not every case requires attachments — it depends on the specific movements needed.
Wear time compliance is the biggest factor in staying on the simulation's projected schedule.
Refinement trays exist specifically to correct minor tracking differences at the end of treatment.
The full course, including refinement trays, is typically quoted as one flat-rate price before you start.
If you're unsure whether your part of California is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment for California patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
