Invisalign in Henderson & Las Vegas, NV
Clear, removable aligners planned in 3D by Dr. Beth — and an honest answer at your consultation about whether your case is actually a candidate.
Is Invisalign right for me?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to move teeth gradually into position. No metal, no wires, and in normal conversation most people will not notice you are wearing them.
You switch to a new set every one to two weeks and wear each set 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. Most cases complete in six to eighteen months depending on how much movement is needed.
It works well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues in teens and adults. It does not suit every case — significant rotations and larger bite discrepancies are often better handled with fixed braces. Dr. Beth confirms candidacy using a 3D scan at your free consultation, and she will tell you plainly if aligners are the wrong tool for your bite.
What Invisalign gets you
Nearly invisible
Clear trays that disappear against your teeth — practical for work, school photos and anywhere you would rather not announce that you are in treatment.
No food restrictions
You take the aligners out to eat, so nothing is off the menu. No avoiding popcorn, bagels, corn on the cob or anything else for eighteen months.
Easier hygiene
Brush and floss exactly as you normally would. There are no brackets or wires to navigate around, which is a real advantage for gum health during treatment.
Planned in 3D first
Our iCAT FLX scan maps your teeth, roots and bone before anything is manufactured, and the projected movement is simulated digitally so you see where treatment is heading.
Fewer office visits
Check-ins every six to eight weeks rather than the four to six weeks braces require. The appointments themselves are short.
0% APR financing
Monthly payments through the practice with no interest and no credit check, CareCredit accepted, and your insurance benefit applied first.
Invisalign vs. traditional braces
| Invisalign | Traditional braces | |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Nearly invisible | Visible metal or ceramic |
| Removable | Yes — for eating and brushing | No, fixed to the teeth |
| Food restrictions | None | Sticky and hard foods limited |
| Average duration | 6–18 months | 18–24 months |
| Office visits | Every 6–8 weeks | Every 4–6 weeks |
| Best for | Mild to moderate cases | All case types, including complex |
| Relies on you | Yes — 20–22 hrs daily wear | No — works continuously |
The trade-off in one line. Braces handle more cases and never depend on you remembering anything. Aligners are considerably nicer to live with, provided you actually wear them. Neither is better in the abstract — it depends on your bite and your habits, which is what the consultation is for.
Your Invisalign treatment, step by step
Free consultation and 3D scan
We take clinical photos and an iCAT FLX scan. Dr. Beth reviews your bite with you on screen and confirms whether you are a candidate for aligners.
Your treatment is planned digitally
Each tooth movement is mapped in sequence before manufacturing begins, so you can see the projected result at the start rather than hoping for it.
Aligners arrive in about four weeks
Once the lab scan is sent, your first sets are made and shipped. We fit them, place any attachments your plan needs, and show you how to insert and remove them.
Wear and change trays
20 to 22 hours a day, switching to the next set every one to two weeks. Out for meals, drinks other than water, brushing and flossing.
Check in every 6–8 weeks
Short visits to confirm teeth are tracking as planned and hand over your next sets. If something is not moving as predicted, we adjust the plan rather than push on.
Retainers to finish
Once the final aligner comes out, retainers hold everything in place. Full-time wear for the first year, then nights. Retainers are included in your fee.
Invisalign for teens and adults
Invisalign Teen
Built for how teenagers actually live — sports, band, school photos, and a social life where they would rather not have a mouth full of metal. It also gives parents something braces cannot.
- Compliance indicators fade with wear, so you can see whether they are actually being worn
- Eruption tabs leave room for teeth still coming in
- Free replacement aligners if one is lost
- Removable for sport, with a mouthguard over the top
Worth saying plainly: aligners only work if they are worn. If your teen is unlikely to manage 20 hours a day, fixed braces are the kinder recommendation and we will make it.
Invisalign for adults
Roughly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult, and aligners are the most requested option in our office for exactly the reasons you would expect.
- Discreet enough for client meetings and video calls
- Fits around work and travel — tell us your schedule and we plan around it
- Common for relapse after teenage braces, often a short course
- Pairs well with whitening once treatment finishes
Invisalign FAQ
How much does Invisalign cost in Las Vegas?
Cost depends on case complexity and treatment length, because each aligner set carries a lab fee and longer cases need more of them. Invisalign is generally comparable to ceramic braces and higher than metal braces. Your free consultation includes an exact quote for your case, and we offer 0% APR monthly payments with no credit check.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most patients finish in six to eighteen months depending on how much movement is required. Simple crowding can resolve faster; more complex bites take longer. Dr. Beth gives you a projected timeline in writing before you commit.
Does Invisalign work as well as metal braces?
For mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues, yes — the outcomes are comparable. Not every case qualifies, though. Significant rotations, large gaps and substantial bite corrections are often handled better and faster with fixed braces. Dr. Beth confirms candidacy using 3D imaging at your consultation.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
20 to 22 hours. You remove them only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. This is the one genuine demand aligners make, and treatment slows measurably if wear time slips — which is worth being honest with yourself about before choosing them.
Is Invisalign painful?
You will feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to each new tray, which is the aligner doing its job. It fades quickly and is generally described as more comfortable than braces, with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks.
Can I drink coffee with my aligners in?
Take them out. Hot drinks can warp the plastic, and coffee, tea and wine will stain the trays — which rather defeats the purpose of clear aligners. Water is the only thing to drink with them in.
What are attachments, and will they show?
Attachments are small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth to give the aligner something to grip, which allows more precise movement. They are close to invisible at conversational distance, and they are removed and polished away when treatment ends.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Call us straight away. Depending on where you are in the sequence, we will usually have you go back to the previous set or move forward to the next while a replacement is ordered. Do not simply go without — teeth begin drifting within days.
Do you offer Invisalign for teens?
Yes. Invisalign Teen includes blue compliance indicators that fade with wear so parents can see whether aligners are actually being worn, eruption tabs that accommodate teeth still coming in, and free replacements if one is lost.
How is this different from mail-order aligners?
An orthodontist examines you, scans your roots and bone in three dimensions, checks your gum health before starting, and adjusts the plan when a tooth does not track as predicted. Mail-order companies do none of that, which is why they accept cases they should decline. The cost difference narrows considerably once corrective treatment is needed.
