Invisalign – Newark, CA
The Clear Braces You’ve Been Waiting For
Before Invisalign, addressing overcrowding, overbites, and other common orthodontic problems required metal braces. Although effective, the noticeable brackets and uncomfortable wires left much to be desired. In fact, that may even be what has stopped you from pursuing the straight smile you’ve always wanted! If that’s the case, we strongly recommend scheduling a consultation with us so we can determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligners.

How Invisalign Works
While traditional braces move your teeth and bite into proper alignment with metal brackets and wires, Invisalign accomplishes the same results with clear, comfortable aligners. You’ll wear each one in the series for 1-2 weeks and for 20-22 hours a day. As you progress through your treatment, you’ll see the improvements because there won’t be anything blocking your view – the trays are both clear and removable!
Who Can Invisalign Help?
Fortunately, the benefits of Invisalign don’t begin and end with appearance. The aligners are also capable of helping patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, including those listed below. If you’re interested in finding out if you’re a good candidate for this innovative orthodontic treatment, you’re also welcome to get in touch with us to schedule a consultation!
Crowded Teeth
If your teeth overlap, then you know first-hand how difficult it can be to clean them properly. But can Invisalign fix crowded teeth? Fortunately, the answer is “yes!” With a custom series of clear aligners, we can guide your teeth into their ideal positions, improving your oral health, your chewing patterns, and the appearance of your smile in the process!
Gaps Between Teeth
Is there a large gap between your two front teeth? Maybe you have several smaller spaces throughout your mouth. In both cases, Invisalign may be the solution. If that’s the case, then we can gently move your teeth closer together with clear, basically invisible aligners. Usually, the entire process only takes 12-18 months (unlike traditional braces, which often require 2-3 years).
Overbite
Even relatively minor overbites can negatively impact your life in several ways, including making it difficult to chew properly. The good news is that metal braces are no longer the only solution! With the help of rubber bands, buttons, and other orthodontic accessories that are necessary, Invisalign clear aligners can give you the healthier, happier smile you deserve.
Underbite
When you bite down, do your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones? Unfortunately, underbites can negatively impact your self-esteem and increase your risk of TMJ dysfunction. That’s why we recommend scheduling a consultation with us sooner rather than later. At your consultation, we will review all of your treatment options and determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign.
Crossbite
Crossbites, like the other orthodontic problems on this list, can lead to several serious problems, including premature wear and tear on your teeth. Fortunately, Invisalign has proven to be an effective solution for patients with mild to moderate cases. So, don’t just assume that traditional braces are your only option. We may be able to achieve the same incredible results with clear, comfortable aligners.
Open Bite
If there is a space between your upper and lower teeth when you bite down, then you may have an open bite. Since even relatively mild cases can lead to premature wear, trouble enunciating clearly, and other problems, it’s important to schedule an Invisalign consultation with us. The sooner you do, the sooner we can determine if you’re a good candidate.

- The aligners are removable, which makes brushing and flossing easy
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
- The average treatment timeline is shorter
- There are fewer progress visits

Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
If you’ve been searching for the cost of Invisalign online, you already know that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. That’s because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment plan! While this does mean that we can’t provide you with a price estimate here, we can share some helpful information on the topic, starting with the factors that play a role in the final number.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign
Before we can provide you with an estimate of the cost of your Invisalign treatment, we need to first determine:
- If any preliminary treatments are needed
- If single-arch treatment is possible
- How many aligners need to be made
- If rubber bands or any other orthodontic accessories are needed
- The type of retainer you need
Rest assured, we will cover all of this information at your initial consultation. We will also discuss the different financial solutions available to make the price more affordable (more on that below!).
Invisalign vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?
Almost always, mail-in alternatives are cheaper. There are a few reasons for this, including that they typically skip the initial consultation, ask patients to take their own impressions, and aren’t overseen by licensed dental professionals. Unfortunately, cutting corners in these ways usually leads to worsened misalignment and dental damage, causing patients to have to spend even more money. To put it simply, although Invisalign requires a higher upfront cost, it’s usually the safest option for your smile and your wallet.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Some dental insurance providers do cover a portion of the cost of orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign. So, if you are insured, take a look at the fine print on your plan. If you need any assistance, just let us know! We’re proud to be in-network with Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, and several others, which makes understanding and utilizing your available benefits a breeze.
