The Best Way To Straighten Teeth
Both braces and clear aligners effectively align teeth, but Invisalign stands out as the most advanced system worldwide. Using precise 3D digital impressions, expert practitioners create custom-fit trays for maximum comfort and near-invisibility. Many patients see noticeable improvements within weeks, with full treatment potentially completed in just six months. Since the trays are removable, they are easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods while maintaining a fresh, healthy smile.

For A Beautiful Smile And A Healthy Lifestyle
Straight teeth offer more than just aesthetic benefits—they play a crucial role in preventing serious dental and health issues. Even if misalignment doesn’t seem bothersome, properly positioned teeth improve function, longevity, and overall oral health. In fact, nearly 90% of people experience some degree of crowding or misalignment, which can lead to:
- Increased risk of front teeth damage or loss.
- Food particles getting trapped between teeth.
- Difficulty in brushing and flossing effectively.
- Higher chances of cavities and tooth decay.
- Gum disease, which has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and an elevated risk of stroke.
If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, scheduling an appointment for an evaluation can help you take proactive steps toward better oral and overall health.
What to Expect When You Begin Your Treatment
We are committed to helping our patients achieve both optimal oral health and a confident smile. Properly aligned teeth not only enhance aesthetics but also improve function and overall well-being—benefits that are available at any age.
Your Treatment Plan
The process begins with digital scans of your teeth, forming the basis of your personalized treatment plan. Invisalign’s advanced software allows us to predict and map out each stage of tooth movement, providing a visual preview of your progress. Once the digital treatment plan is finalized, your custom aligners are crafted using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art technology.
The First Alingers
When your aligners arrive, small, temporary attachments may be placed on your teeth to help secure them in position. These attachments are discreet and will be removed once your treatment is complete.
Follow Up Appointments
Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal position. As you progress through your series of aligners, we will schedule check-ups every one to two months to ensure your treatment is on track and making the expected progress.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
The Cost of Invisalign in Wellesley
With a standard insurance plan, Invisalign treatment typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000+ out-of-pocket. If you don’t have insurance, the total cost generally ranges from $4,000 to $6,000+. After a comprehensive oral exam, we can provide you with an accurate quote, detailing how much your insurance will cover and what your final expenses will be.
How Is the Cost of Invisalign Determined? Several factors influence the cost of treatment, including:
- The current condition of your oral health.
- The extent of tooth movement required.
- The overall length of your treatment.
Because every smile is unique, the best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you—and to get an exact cost estimate—is to schedule a consultation. During this visit, we will assess your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your needs. Even if you’re unsure whether Invisalign is an option due to age or complex dental concerns, we encourage you to ask—there are solutions available for nearly every case.
Personalized Treatment for Every Smile
We offer Invisalign solutions for a variety of cases, from express treatments to advanced functional and cosmetic corrections. In most situations, we can complete your entire treatment in our office. If your case requires specialized orthodontic care, we will refer you to a trusted specialist to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
Don’t let misaligned teeth impact your confidence or oral health—Invisalign can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. The clear, custom-fitted trays are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for important moments like presentations or social events. Their smooth edges prevent the irritation and discomfort often caused by metal brackets, and since Invisalign gradually adjusts only a few teeth at a time with gentler pressure, the process is typically more comfortable than traditional orthodontics.
Invisalign gently shifts your teeth over time, making adjustments in small increments to minimize discomfort. While mild pressure is normal, especially when switching to a new set of aligners, significant pain is uncommon. If you experience discomfort beyond what is expected, don’t hesitate to contact us for adjustments or recommendations.
Treatment length varies based on your dental needs, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months. Many patients notice visible improvements within the first six weeks. More complex corrections may require additional time, similar to traditional orthodontic treatments.
To keep your aligners clean and effective, remove them twice daily for cleaning. Brush both your teeth and the trays before reinserting them. If you take your aligners out, rinse them before putting them back in and store them in their case when not in use. Soaking them in a denture cleaner or Invisalign cleaning crystals can help maintain freshness—just be sure to rinse them thoroughly before wearing them again. Avoid using toothpaste to clean them, and never eat or drink with your aligners in. We will provide detailed care instructions when you receive your first set of trays.
No, you should always remove your aligners before eating. The pressure from chewing can damage or warp the trays, and eating with them in place can be both uncomfortable and messy. Always store them safely while eating and clean your teeth before reinserting them.
