Invisalign Las Vegas

Invisalign in Las Vegas, done by an orthodontist

Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. You wear each set for about a week, switch to the next, and your teeth move a little at a time. Most people around you will never notice you are in treatment.

Plenty of Las Vegas dentists offer Invisalign. The difference here is that your case is planned by an orthodontist, a dentist who completed extra years of specialty training in moving teeth and jaws. Dr. Faranesh earned his DMD at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Colorado, and treats aligner cases every day. Nevada Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry is an Invisalign Platinum Provider, a tier Invisalign awards to practices that treat a high volume of aligner cases.

What Invisalign can fix

Today's Invisalign handles most of what braces handle. We treat these every week with aligners:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps and spacing
• Overbite and overjet (upper teeth too far forward)
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite (front teeth that do not touch)
• Teeth that shifted after braces years ago

A few bite problems still move faster or more predictably with braces, and some cases do best with a short phase of braces followed by aligners. We offer both at the same office, so there is no reason for us to steer you toward one. If braces are the better tool for your bite, we will say so at the consultation.

Invisalign for teens in Las Vegas

Teens are some of our happiest aligner patients. No food rules, no emergency visits for a broken bracket, nothing to hide in school photos, and aligners come out for sports and band. Invisalign Teen adds small blue wear indicators that fade with use, so you and your teen can both see whether the aligners are in enough, plus room for molars that are still coming in.

The honest part: aligners only work when they are worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Most teens do great with that. If we think a particular teen would do better in braces, we will tell you. Not sure which way to go? Our post on braces vs. Invisalign for teens walks through the trade-offs.

Younger child? Aligners are sometimes part of early (Phase 1) treatment for kids around 7 to 10, and sometimes a simple appliance is the right tool instead. Our early orthodontic treatment page explains what we check for at age 7, and our pediatric orthodontist page covers how we treat kids and teens.

Invisalign for adults

Adults are a growing share of our aligner patients: crowding that came back after teenage braces, a gap that never closed, a bite that is wearing down front teeth, or teeth that need to be lined up before a crown or implant. Aligners fit around work and travel, and check-in visits are short. See adult orthodontics in Las Vegas for what treatment looks like after 25, 45, or 65.

How Invisalign works at our office

1. Free consultation. An exam with Dr. Faranesh, photos, digital X-rays, and a digital scan of your teeth with our iTero scanner. No goopy impressions. You leave with a written quote.
2. Your digital plan. Dr. Faranesh builds and reviews your ClinCheck treatment plan himself, tooth by tooth. You see a preview of your projected result before anything starts.
3. Aligners arrive. At delivery we may bond small tooth-colored attachments to a few teeth. They give the aligners something to grip and come off at the end.
4. Wear and switch. Aligners in 20 to 22 hours a day, out only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush. You change sets on the schedule we give you, usually weekly.
5. Quick check-ins. We see you every 6 to 10 weeks to confirm your teeth are tracking and hand you the next batch of aligners.
6. Finish and protect. Your package includes a set of retainers. Our Retainer Protection Program covers replacements for years afterward.

How long does Invisalign take?

Most of our Invisalign cases finish in 6 to 18 months. Mild crowding or spacing can be done in about 6 months. A full bite correction usually runs 12 to 18 months. The biggest factor is wear time: aligners that sit in a pocket do not move teeth. If a few teeth need extra help at the end, the additional aligners (refinements) are already included in your fee.

Invisalign vs. braces

Braces are fixed, work around the clock, and handle the most complex bites. Invisalign is removable, nearly invisible, easier to clean around, and has fewer emergency visits, but it depends on you wearing it. Costs at our office are quoted case by case, and both options come with the same free consultation and monthly payment plans. If you are leaning toward brackets, start with our braces in Las Vegas page.

Invisalign FAQs

Does Invisalign hurt?

You will feel pressure for the first day or two of each new set. That is the aligner doing its job. Most people describe it as tightness rather than pain, and it fades quickly. There are no wires to poke your cheeks.

Do I have to wear the aligners at night?

Yes. Aligners should be in 20 to 22 hours a day, including while you sleep. Nighttime is actually when a lot of the tooth movement happens.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

Take the aligners out to eat and to drink anything other than water, then brush or rinse before putting them back in. There are no food restrictions the way there are with braces.

How often will I come to the office?

Every 6 to 10 weeks for a short check-in. Between visits you change aligners at home on the schedule we give you.

Can a teenager really keep up with Invisalign?

Most can, and the blue wear indicators on Invisalign Teen make it easy for parents to check. If we think braces would serve a particular teen better, we will tell you at the consultation.

Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?

If your PPO plan has an orthodontic benefit, it almost always applies to Invisalign the same as braces. We accept all PPO plans and will verify your benefit before you commit. Cherry monthly payment plans cover the rest.

Will I need a retainer after Invisalign?

Yes. Teeth drift for life without one. Your fee includes a set of retainers, and our Retainer Protection Program replaces lost or worn retainers for years afterward.

How does the $1,000 off offer work?

It takes $1,000 off the fee for full Invisalign treatment. Mention it when you book your free consultation and we will apply it to your written quote.
