What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the most widely recognized brand of clear aligner treatment. It straightens teeth with a series of custom, nearly invisible, removable trays made from Invisalign's patented SmartTrack material – worn about 20–22 hours a day and changed every one to two weeks. Most Invisalign patients finish in about 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case, with some see meaningful movement within the first few months.
At Kennedy Dental Care, Invisalign is provided by Dr. Tim, our residency-trained orthodontist.

What Can Invisalign Treat

Invisalign isn't just for minor tweaks – it can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues. Whether your teeth are crowded, spaced, or misaligned, Invisalign offers a discreet and effective solution tailored to your smile.

The Process

How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?

Consultation & Digital Impressions

Dr. Tim evaluates your teeth and bite, and digital impressions replace goopy molds.

Custom Aligners, Sometimes with Attachments

Your aligner series is made from SmartTrack material. For some movements, Dr. Tim places small tooth-colored attachments that help the trays grip and steer teeth precisely.

Your Smile Preview

Invisalign's 3D planning maps every movement – you see a digital preview of the planned result before treatment begins.

Wear, Switch, Repeat

Trays are worn 20–22 hours a day and changed every one to two weeks, with progress checks about every 6–8 weeks.

Retainers Protect the Result

When treatment finishes, a retainer keeps the new smile in place.

For Whom

Invisalign for Teens

Invisalign for Adults

It is never too late. Adults choose Invisalign because it fits work and life, is nearly invisible in meetings, removable for meals, and planned around your schedule at any of our four offices. Dr. Tim treats patients of all ages.

Can My Child Get Invisalign Instead of Braces?

Often, yes – Invisalign handles crowding, spacing, and many bite issues in teens. Two things decide it: the case (complex movements may still need braces) and the wearer (aligners demand 20-plus hours a day of real compliance). Dr. Tim will tell you plainly which treatment fits your child; we believe every child deserves access to the right orthodontic care, even if it is not with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Invisalign cost depends on your case: how far teeth need to move, how long treatment runs, and whether it is a teen or adult plan. That is why we start with a consultation and give you a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins – no surprises mid-treatment.

Neither is better for every teen. Invisalign is nearly invisible and removable but depends on consistent wear; braces work around the clock and handle complex cases. Dr. Tim will recommend the one that fits your teen's case and habits.

Often yes – for crowding, spacing, and many bite issues, when your teen will genuinely wear the trays 20-plus hours a day. Complex cases may still need braces. A consultation gives you a real answer for your child.

Most patients finish in about 6 to 18 months, with checkups every 6–8 weeks. Dr. Tim provides a personalized timeline at your consultation.

Invisalign and other clear aligners are the main alternatives – nearly invisible, removable trays that suit many teen cases. The best alternative depends on your teen's case and readiness, which an orthodontic evaluation settles quickly.

Invisalign is a well-known brand of clear aligner with its own material and teen features. We offer Invisalign and other aligner options – our Clear Aligners page explains how the category works, and Dr. Tim will recommend the system that fits your case and budget.
