How Invisalign® treatment works in three stages
Invisalign® treatment has three stages: planning, aligners and retainers.
Invisalign® planned by a dentist with Molis Coaching training
Dr. Kataria completed the Invisalign® Mastermind course at Molis Coaching, which trains dentists in Invisalign® treatment planning.
- Predictable results: We map out each plan before your first aligner is made, which keeps results predictable.
- Most cases: We can treat about 95% of cases with Invisalign®.
- A wide age range: We’ve treated patients as young as 17 and as old as 80.
Monthly payments with CareCredit, Cherry or Sunbit.
What does Invisalign® cost, and what’s included?
We price Invisalign® case by case, and your fee includes teeth whitening and retainers.
- Ways to pay: We take major credit cards and offer CareCredit, Cherry and Sunbit financing for monthly payments.
- Insurance: We’re out of network, but we work with all PPO plans and will file claims on your behalf to help you maximize your benefits.
Dental Care Without Stress or Judgment
We’re proud of the long-lasting results and the happy smiles that tell our story best.
Frequently asked questions
-
How much does Invisalign® cost?
There’s no single price, because cost depends on how far your teeth need to move and how many aligners your plan calls for. Teeth whitening and retainers are part of your treatment fee. Our Vallejo office offers monthly financing through CareCredit, Cherry and Sunbit, and we also take major credit cards.
-
Am I too old for Invisalign®?
Teeth can move at any age when the gums and bone around them are healthy. We see adults and older teens, and we’ve treated Invisalign® patients up to age 80. Your exam and iTero scan show whether aligners suit your teeth, and we explain what we find.
-
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
It depends on how far your teeth need to move, since your plan sets how many aligners you’ll wear. You’ll switch to a new set about every two weeks, and closing a small gap usually takes fewer aligners than correcting a bite.
-
How many hours a day do I wear aligners?
Plan on about 20 to 22 hours a day, the wear time Invisalign® recommends. You take your aligners out for meals, for drinks other than water, and to brush and floss. Aligners only work while they’re in, so steady wear keeps your plan on schedule and helps each new set fit well.
-
Can Invisalign® fix teeth that shifted after braces?
In many cases, yes. Teeth can drift years after braces, especially once a retainer stops fitting or gets set aside, and an exam and 3D iTero scan show how far they’ve moved. Invisalign® aligners can guide them back into line, and retainers help keep them in their new positions once treatment ends.
