invisalign® & clear-aligner orthodontics in snohomish
straighter teeth without brackets or wires — planned with a 3d itero® scan, by the same dentist who does your checkups.
01
how it works
-
step 1
scan
a 3d itero® scan of your teeth — no goopy impressions — and a preview of where your smile is headed.
-
step 2
plan
your dentist maps every movement, start to finish. you'll see the timeline and the cost before you say yes.
-
step 3
wear
a new set of clear aligners every one to two weeks, 20–22 hours a day. take them out to eat, brush and floss.
-
step 4
keep
a retainer holds the result. checkups and aligner visits happen in the same office, with the same team.
02
who it's for
teens and adults with crowding, gaps, a crossbite, or teeth that drifted after braces. only a dentist can say how long your treatment will take — many patients see their new smile in as little as six months and notice changes within weeks.
- faster and more comfortable than braces
- nearly invisible
- removable for eating and cleaning
- more predictable, planned in 3d
faq
invisalign questions
how long does it take?+
it depends on how far your teeth need to move. simple cases can finish in about six months; most take 12 to 18. your scan gives you a real estimate.
does it hurt?+
expect mild pressure for a day or two with each new set — a sign it's working. no wires, no poking.
does insurance cover it?+
many plans include an orthodontic benefit. we accept all insurance plans, check your coverage, and file the claim for you.
do i need an orthodontist for invisalign®?+
not for most cases. invisalign® is planned and overseen here by the dentist who already knows your teeth. if your scan shows something an orthodontist should handle, we'll say so and refer you — we only do what we know we do well.
