If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but don’t love the idea of traditional braces, Invisalign® could be the perfect solution. This modern orthodontic treatment uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into place—without the brackets or wires. At Cre8 Smile Studio, we’re proud to offer Invisalign® as a comfortable, convenient option for achieving a straighter smile.

The first step in your Invisalign® journey is a consultation with Dr. Prater. During this visit, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your teeth and bite, and determine whether Invisalign® is the right fit for you. We use advanced digital scanning technology to create a 3D image of your teeth, so there’s no need for messy impressions.

If Invisalign® is a good option for you, we’ll go over the treatment plan, estimated timeline, and costs. We also offer financing options like CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and LendingPoint to help make treatment more affordable.

Once your treatment plan is finalized, Invisalign® will create a series of custom aligners just for you. Each set is designed to gradually move your teeth into alignment. When your aligners are ready, we’ll have you come in to pick them up and review how to wear and care for them. Here's more details on how to process works:

• You'll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, depending on your treatment plan.
• Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
• Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners to continue the progression.

Step 3: Adjusting to Life with Invisalign®

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Here’s what you should know about daily life with your aligners:

• Eating & Drinking: No food restrictions! Just remove your aligners before meals and brush your teeth before putting them back in.
• Cleaning Your Aligners: Rinse them with lukewarm water and brush them gently to prevent buildup.
• Speaking Adjustments: Some patients notice a slight lisp at first, but it usually disappears within a few days.

Since Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them!

Throughout your treatment, you’ll have check-ins every 6–8 weeks to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. If minor adjustments are needed, we may order refinement trays to perfect your results.

Most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, though this can vary based on individual needs.

Once you’ve completed Invisalign® treatment, keeping your teeth in place is essential. We’ll provide a custom retainer to maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as directed will prevent shifting and ensure your teeth stay beautifully aligned.

Invisalign® is a great choice for many teens and adults looking to correct:



• Crowding
• Gaps
• Overbites & underbites
• Crossbites & open bites

However, complex orthodontic cases may require alternative treatment. That’s why a consultation is the best way to determine your options.
