Overview

Straightening teeth has never been easier—or more discreet. With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can achieve a confident smile using a treatment that’s comfortable, convenient, and virtually invisible. Designed with advanced technology for a precise fit, Invisalign aligners let you or your child enjoy everyday life while moving closer to the smile you’ve always wanted.

There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner. Our office is proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Why Invisalign treatment?

  • Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months.
  • Proven results: SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are clinically proven to improve tooth movement control with Invisalign clear aligners.
  • Better fit: Your Aligners are made specifically for you! SmartTrack materials are comfortable, fit well, and are easy to put on and take off.
  • Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
  • Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
  • Comfortable and hygienic: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means your child can continue doing everything he/she normally would do, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever he/she likes, so we don’t see inflamed gums and increase the chance of getting cavities, which is very common with traditional braces.
  • Convenient: Invisalign treatment is ideal for you and your child, who has a busy school and sports schedule, since you don’t need to visit our office monthly.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Your First Consultation

At your initial consultation, we will discuss your child’s orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for him/her.

Your Custom Treatment Plan

We will use a scanner such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your child’s teeth. Then, we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of teeth and the length of the treatment. You’ll even get to see how his/her teeth will move and preview the new smile!

Your Invisalign Clear Aligners

Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.

For the best results, wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, brush, and floss.

Your Progress

As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or as recommended.

Taking Care of Your New Smile

When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera® retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners.

To learn more about the Invisalign system and all your orthodontic treatment options, please feel free to schedule an appointment at our office. We look forward to meeting you and your child and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!

Our son has been going to Highland Kids Dentistry since he was a toddler and they are fantastic! Especially with calming nerves. Both Dr. Shadi and Dr. Garcia are kind, caring, and so great with kids. They never rush and explain tooth care in a way the kids can understand. The hygienists and front desk are very friendly too!

This place is amazing. The decor of the lobby is really cute and kid friendly. Video games for the kiddos to wait for the Dr. The staff were very friendly and good with the kids. Made my little one feel welcomed and comfortable. They let the kids watch movies/shows while getting worked on. Overall this place was amazing. The nurses and Dr. were the best!

All 4 of my kids have been going here for years. I’ve never seen kids so excited to go to the dentist! Their office and staff could not be more warm and welcoming. Through X-rays and cavities and even breaking my toddler from her pacifier addiction—they have been top notch all the way and truly make it a pleasure for children and parents alike. Thank you!!
