Invisalign®
Invisalign provides a comfortable and discreet way to straighten your smile without disrupting your daily life. With custom clear aligners and gentle, predictable movement, our team guides you through a confident, stress-free treatment experience designed to enhance both oral health and self-esteem.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth using sets of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your smile. These smooth plastic trays gently and gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without the use of wires or brackets typically found in traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made using models of both your current teeth and the end result you hope to achieve. We utilize the iTero Digital Scanner to simplify the model-making process.
Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each one subtly shifting your teeth closer to their ideal positions. This process typically takes between 20 and 40 weeks; however, the full journey will depend on your specific treatment plan.
Invisalign can address a wide range of concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Because the aligners are comfortable and nearly invisible, you can improve your smile with confidence and convenience, while enjoying the flexibility to remove them for eating, brushing, and other daily activities.
Our team provides Invisalign at all three of our locations—two in Sioux City, IA (Lakeport St. and Hamilton St.), and one in Elk Point, SD. Please schedule your appointment online using the link below or visit our contact page for information on the location nearest you!

What's the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Traditional braces and Invisalign both straighten teeth effectively, but they differ in comfort and appearance. Braces utilize metal brackets and wires to guide teeth into proper alignment, which can be highly effective for complex cases. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that offer a more discreet and flexible option. Many patients appreciate being able to eat, brush, and floss with ease.
Our team helps you choose the solution that fits your needs, lifestyle, and goals for a healthier, more confident smile.

How does the Invisalign treatment process work?
To start, our team takes photographs of your teeth and face, scans of your teeth with the iTero Digital Scanner and X-rays. We provide these scans to Invisalign along with detailed instructions on what we want the final result to be.
Invisalign scans the impressions and creates a 3D model of your teeth. They partner with our team to finalize the exact proportions. When ready, the trays are made and sent to our team. You will wear a set of trays for two weeks at a time for your determined treatment length.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?
A good candidate for Invisalign is typically someone with mild to moderate alignment concerns—such as crowding, spacing, or minor bite issues—who prefers a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Ideal patients are committed to wearing their aligners as directed and maintaining good oral hygiene. Invisalign is well-suited for both teens and adults seeking a flexible, nearly invisible path to a healthier, more confident smile.

How much does Invisalign cost?
Typically, Invisalign costs $2,500 to $4,995. But all-in costs can vary depending on the treatment length required. The out-of-pocket costs will also depend on your insurance coverage.
