How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that corrects misaligned teeth using clear, custom-fitted aligners. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before being swapped for the next, gently shifting your teeth into their final position over the course of treatment. There are no metal brackets, no wires, and no tightening visits.
At our Santa Clara dental clinic, we use the iTero digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth. This replaces messy traditional impressions and lets us plan your treatment with millimeter accuracy from your very first visit.

In-Face Simulation: see your future smile first
Most patients want to know one thing before committing to Invisalign: what will I actually look like at the end? Our signature In-Face Simulation answers that question in minutes. After a quick digital scan, you'll see a dynamic video preview of you talking and smiling with your future smile, so you can begin treatment with clarity and confidence instead of guessing at the outcome.
The simulation gives you a personalized 3D preview, clear goals and a timeline before you start, and a transparent process you can follow from day one. It's one of the most motivating parts of starting Invisalign at Perfect Smile.
Virtual Monitoring: a great smile with fewer office visits
A typical Invisalign case needs nine to ten in-office check-ins. With our signature Virtual Monitoring, most of our patients finish with about three short in-person visits without compromising results. Using a simple scan tool and app, you'll send us fast remote check-ins from your phone.
We track your tooth movement, check your bite, and make sure everything stays on course, all under the same expert oversight you'd get in the chair. The result is treatment that flexes around your work, travel, and family, which is something our Silicon Valley patients especially appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section provides answers to common questions for your convenience. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually straightens your teeth without metal brackets or wires. You wear a series of custom-made aligners, switching to a new set every one to two weeks, until your teeth reach their final position.
It's a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces and one of the most popular orthodontic treatments worldwide.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign cases take 12 to 18 months, but treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Some minor corrections can be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases may take longer.
During your consultation, we'll give you a clear timeline based on your specific situation and goals.
Invisalign vs braces: what's the difference?
The main differences are appearance, comfort, and convenience. Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, while braces use fixed metal brackets and wires.
Both are effective for most orthodontic cases, but Invisalign offers a more discreet look, easier eating and oral hygiene, and typically fewer office visits with our Virtual Monitoring system.
How much does Invisalign cost in Santa Clara?
The cost of Invisalign at our Santa Clara dental clinic depends on the complexity and length of your treatment. We're an in-network PPO provider with all major insurance companies, and most plans cover Invisalign similarly to braces.
During your consultation, we'll review your insurance benefits and walk you through payment plan options, including our Perfect Smile Dental Savings Plan if you don't have insurance.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign isn't painful, but you may feel mild pressure or tightness when you switch to a new set of aligners. This is a sign the aligners are working to gently shift your teeth, and the discomfort usually fades within a day or two.
Most patients describe it as far more comfortable than the soreness associated with braces tightening.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
Yes, most dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics also cover Invisalign, often at the same rate as traditional braces. We're in-network with all major insurance providers including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, and more.
We'll verify your benefits during your consultation so you know exactly what's covered before you commit.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
You should wear your Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss.
Consistency matters: skipping wear time slows your progress and may extend your treatment timeline. With our Virtual Monitoring, we'll help you stay on track between visits.
Can I eat with Invisalign?
You can eat anything you want with Invisalign, but you need to remove the aligners first. Eating with your aligners in can stain or damage them, so always take them out, eat, then brush your teeth (or rinse) before putting them back in.
This is one of Invisalign's biggest advantages over traditional braces, no food restrictions.
Will Invisalign give me a lisp?
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days of wearing their aligners, but it almost always goes away as your tongue adjusts. This is completely normal and temporary.
Within a week, most patients are speaking normally and comfortable with their aligners.
Do I need retainers after Invisalign?
Yes. Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you'll need to wear retainers to keep your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Teeth have a natural tendency to drift over time, and retainers protect the result you've worked for.
We'll fit you with custom retainers and walk you through how often to wear them.
Am I too old for Invisalign?
There's no upper age limit for Invisalign. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you can straighten your smile at any age. We've treated patients in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who wished they'd done it sooner.
The only requirement is that your jaw is fully developed, which is why Invisalign is generally recommended for patients age 13 and up.
How do I get started with Invisalign?
The first step is a consultation at our Santa Clara dental clinic. We'll examine your teeth, take a quick iTero digital scan, show you a preview of your finished smile through our In-Face Simulation, and walk you through your treatment plan and costs.
You can book your consultation online, by phone, or by email.
