Every day, countless adults in Reno catch glimpses of themselves in mirrors and feel a pang of self-consciousness about their smile. Whether it’s crowded teeth from childhood that were never addressed or subtle shifts that occurred over the years, the desire for straighter teeth doesn’t diminish with age. At White Pine Family Dental, we understand that your smile is deeply personal, and the journey to transform it should be just as individualized.
Our family-owned practice has been serving Northern Nevada for over 30 years. Our team of experienced dentists—led by Dr. Kenneth Browning Prince, Dr. Mary Papez-Berg, and Dr. Tiffany Nguyen—has witnessed numerous adult transformations through Invisalign treatment. Located at 5435 Kietzke Lane, we’ve built our reputation on providing personalized dental care tailored to individual needs and expectations, making adult orthodontic treatment accessible and comfortable for busy professionals and parents throughout Reno.
Adult orthodontic needs differ significantly from teenage treatment requirements. As working professionals, parents, and active community members, Reno adults require solutions that seamlessly integrate into established routines rather than disrupting them.
The nearly invisible nature of Invisalign aligners addresses the primary concern most adults have about orthodontic treatment: appearance. Unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, these clear plastic trays remain virtually undetectable during meetings, presentations, or social gatherings.
Our adult patients appreciate the flexibility Invisalign provides. You can remove the aligners for important meetings, special dinners, or social events when necessary. This removability also means no dietary restrictions—you can continue enjoying all your favorite foods throughout treatment.
Understanding how Invisalign works helps adults make informed decisions about their orthodontic care. Our process begins with advanced digital technology that eliminates the need for messy impressions while ensuring precise treatment planning.
The iTero digital scanner captures thousands of images per second, creating a detailed 3D model of your teeth. This technology enables our team to create a comprehensive treatment plan for you and demonstrate precisely how your teeth will move over time. Each set of custom aligners applies gentle, constant pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions.
Most adult patients in Reno complete their Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, wearing each set of aligners for one to two weeks before progressing to the next stage. The FDA-approved thermoplastic material ensures safe, predictable movement throughout your treatment journey.
Invisalign treatment offers advantages that extend far beyond cosmetic improvements, addressing functional and health concerns that many adults face.
Properly aligned teeth become significantly easier to clean, reducing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay—common concerns for adults who may have neglected orthodontic treatment earlier in life. Straight teeth contribute to better oral health by making it easier to remove plaque and bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Better tooth alignment also improves chewing function and can reduce jaw strain and TMJ-related discomfort that affects many adults.
The additional benefits our Reno patients often experience include the following:
These comprehensive benefits make Invisalign an investment in your overall well-being, not just your appearance.
Your journey toward straighter teeth begins with a thorough consultation at our Kietzke Lane location. During this appointment, one of our experienced dentists will examine your oral health and discuss your orthodontic goals in detail.
We encourage you to bring a list of current medications, supplements, and relevant medical history to ensure we provide the most appropriate treatment recommendations. Our team evaluates your teeth, bite alignment, and jaw function using digital X-rays and 3D imaging when necessary.
We discuss your professional requirements, social commitments, and personal preferences to determine if Invisalign aligns with your lifestyle needs. While most adults are excellent candidates for Invisalign, some complex cases may require alternative approaches. We provide honest recommendations tailored to your specific situation.
At White Pine Family Dental, we believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from achieving your ideal smile. Our Invisalign treatment is competitively priced at $4,997, often surprising adults who expect orthodontic treatment to be prohibitively expensive.
We offer flexible payment plans starting as low as $97 per month, making it easier to fit this investment in your oral health into your monthly budget. Our financial team works with you to explore insurance benefits and financing options that make Invisalign treatment accessible. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, even for adults, and we help you maximize these benefits.
Dr. Prince began using Invisalign in 2004, just five years after it became available in the market, bringing nearly two decades of experience to your treatment. We don’t rely solely on our experience—we also pursue education from some of the world’s top Invisalign providers, ensuring you receive the most current and effective treatment approaches.
Our commitment to ongoing education means we stay current with the latest Invisalign techniques and technologies, providing you with the most advanced treatment options available. This dedication to excellence, combined with our family-owned practice values, creates an environment where your orthodontic journey becomes a collaborative partnership focused on achieving your goals.

Most adults in Reno complete Invisalign treatment in 12-18 months, though simple cases may finish sooner and complex cases may take longer. Your treatment timeline depends on the amount of tooth movement required and your compliance with wearing aligners 22+ hours daily.
Yes! One major advantage of Invisalign is the ability to remove aligners for meals. You can eat and drink whatever you want without dietary restrictions, unlike traditional braces. Just remember to brush your teeth before putting aligners back in.
Most patients experience minimal speech changes, and any slight lisp typically disappears within a few days as you adjust to the aligners. The thin, smooth plastic design minimizes speech interference compared to traditional braces.
Adult patients typically visit our Reno office every 6-8 weeks for progress checks and to receive new sets of aligners. These appointments are usually quick and can often be scheduled during lunch breaks or other convenient times.
