Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Invisalign
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually align your teeth without wires or brackets. Ideal for both teens and adults, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your smile discreetly while maintaining your daily routine. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and precisely, providing a smooth and effective path to a beautifully aligned smile.
How Invisalign Works
The Invisalign process is straightforward, beginning with a consultation to determine your treatment plan:
- Consultation and Customization: Dr. Chacon and Dr. Reyes will conduct an in-depth consultation, including digital scans of your teeth, to create a fully personalized treatment plan. Using advanced iTero technology, they will map out the exact movements of your teeth.
- Series of Aligners: You will receive a series of aligners, each designed to make incremental adjustments to the position of your teeth. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set, advancing your treatment.
- Routine Check-ups: Every few weeks, you'll visit The Smile Shoppe to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned, allowing for any adjustments if needed.
Invisalign provides a convenient, comfortable, and less noticeable option for orthodontic care, making it an appealing choice for many.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces:
- Clear and Discreet: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment with confidence.
- Removable Aligners: Unlike braces, Invisalign can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods.
- Comfortable and Custom Fit: Each aligner is designed to fit snugly, providing gradual and gentle pressure without the discomfort of metal brackets or wires.
For those interested in a minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing solution, Invisalign is an ideal choice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
What is Invisalign, and how does it work?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to shift teeth into their desired positions gradually. Each set of aligners applies controlled pressure, moving teeth incrementally.
Is Invisalign effective for complex orthodontic cases?
Yes, Invisalign can address many orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems. Dr. Chacon and Dr. Reyes can assess your specific needs to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment duration varies depending on individual needs. For many patients, treatment takes between 12 and 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your case.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign aligners may cause mild discomfort when switching to a new set, as your teeth adjust to the pressure. However, most patients find Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces.
