Using a state-of-the-art iTero Element™ scanner, your doctor will quickly and precisely create a detailed, 3D scan of your current smile and map out the custom treatment plan for your new one. So, you’ll know what exactly to expect at every step. Plus, you’ll even see a sneak peek of what your new smile could look like.
When you pick up your first set of Invisalign aligners, your orthodontist will check them to make sure that they fit correctly and are as comfortable as possible. Your orthodontist will also schedule a series of regular, face-to-face check-ups to give you each new batch of aligners and monitor the progress of your new smile. As part of the process of shifting your teeth during your treatment, you’ll be swapping out your aligners often.
Like all teeth straightening treatments, including braces, once you’re done with your Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth straight. Depending on your orthodontist, you’ll be offered custom-made Vivera™ retainers that are crafted using the same technology as your Invisalign aligners, or another retainer brand.
After scanning your current smile, your doctor will use advanced tech like ClinCheck® treatment planning software to create a custom-made plan for your new one that’s as effective as possible.

In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of braces. Your orthodontist will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need. There are several options to make Invisalign treatment more affordable for you, from using insurance to a monthly payment plan.
Invisalign clear aligners are made from SmartTrackTM proprietary material to deliver more predictable* tooth movements.1 Unlike other clear aligners and retainers, Invisalign aligners and retainers are trimmed based on each patient’s gum line to provide optimal patient comfort and aesthetics.
