Maybe you have been putting off asking about Invisalign because you are not sure where to even start. Maybe a friend tried it and loved it, or you saw something online that left you more confused than before. Whatever brought you here, we want you to walk away from this page actually knowing what Invisalign involves, not just guessing at it.

We have been having these same conversations with our patients since 2004, when Dr. Prince started offering Invisalign just five years after it hit the market. Our team continues training with some of the top Invisalign providers in the world so that what we tell you comes from real, current expertise rather than a script. If you are exploring Invisalign in Reno, here is what our patients ask us most.

How Does Invisalign Actually Work

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted trays that gently guide your teeth into place over time. You wear each set for one to two weeks before moving to the next, with small shifts built into every stage of the plan. There are no wires, no brackets, and none of the food restrictions that come with traditional braces.

We map out your entire treatment before your first tray ever touches your teeth, using digital impressions to show you what your results should look like. You are never left wondering if things are on track. We are walking that path with you the whole way.

Is Invisalign Only For Cosmetic Reasons?

We hear this one constantly, and it matters to us that patients understand the truth behind it. Invisalign is more than just cosmetic. Teeth that are crowded or misaligned can wear unevenly, strain your jaw, and make certain spots nearly impossible to clean well, and those issues tend to compound over the years. Straightening your bite with Invisalign can ease that strain while giving you a smile you are proud to show off.

If you are still weighing your options, our Invisalign versus traditional braces comparison lays out how the two differ in comfort, visibility, and daily upkeep.

How Long Does Treatment Typically Take?

Every mouth tells a different story, so treatment length varies, but many of our patients finish their series in twelve to eighteen months. Straightforward cases can move faster, and more involved bites sometimes need more time. During your consultation, we sit down with you and build a timeline around your specific goals, not a generic average pulled from a brochure.

Wearing your aligners twenty to twenty two hours a day, removing them only to eat and brush, keeps everything moving as planned. Patients who stay consistent tend to see their trays fit exactly the way we expected at each visit.

What About Comfort And Oral Hygiene?

New trays can feel snug for a day or two while your teeth start to shift, but most patients describe it as mild pressure rather than real pain. Since the aligners come out, you can brush and floss the way you always have, which many people find far easier than working around brackets and wires.

Research backs up what we see in our own patients. A study published through the National Institutes of Health found that clear aligner treatment showed favorable results for controlling plaque and supporting gum health throughout orthodontic care, and that holds true for patients who stay on top of their routine.

A few habits go a long way during treatment.

  • Rinse trays with lukewarm water, since hot water can warp the plastic
  • Brush your teeth before putting trays back in after meals
  • Keep a travel case on hand so you never misplace a tray
  • Come in for regular check ins so we can watch your progress closely

These small habits make a real difference in how smoothly your treatment goes from start to finish.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Invisalign?

Invisalign fits a wide range of lives, from professionals who want something discreet to parents juggling a packed schedule who need low maintenance care. Mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite concerns usually respond well. More complex cases sometimes call for a different plan, which is why we always start with a real conversation about your bite and your goals before we recommend anything.

 

If you have been asking yourself whether Invisalign is right for you, a consultation with our team is the clearest way to find out, since no two smiles respond the same way.

What Insurance Options Are Available?

We work with a wide range of dental insurance plans, including Guardian, Humana, Metlife, Ameritas, Cigna Dental, Renaissance Dental, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, GEHA, Diversified Dental, and Dental Plans. We know insurance can feel like its own maze, so we sit down with every patient and walk through their coverage clearly before treatment begins, with no surprises waiting for you later.


We also encourage you to ask about
your insurance coverage for Invisalign at your consultation, since understanding what your plan covers can make the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.

What our patients say

Reno patients, in their own words

Patient Experience

“My teeth were straight as I had braces twice previously in my life. However, my bite was so misaligned, I was chipping my front teeth when I would grind my teeth at night. Dr. Prince recommended Invisalign to correct my bite and align my teeth more appropriately. At first I was hesitant in my decision thinking I would end up where I started. However, I made the decision to move forward. It was the best decision I could have made. My teeth are in line, I don’t have any chipping and for the first time in my life, I feel like my bite is perfect. My joints feel better as well. It was easy and quick and so effective.”
