What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic solution that uses a series of nearly invisible, custom-made trays to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. These aligners are designed for comfort and discretion, making them a great option for teens and adults who want to improve their smile without the look or feel of traditional braces. At One Smile Orthodontics, we use Invisalign® to treat a range of issues, from minor crowding to more complex bite problems. Many patients choose Invisalign® clear aligners because they’re removable, allowing you to eat what you want and brush and floss with ease. Treatment times can vary depending on your case, but most people begin to notice changes within a few months. If you're looking for a flexible, modern way to enhance your smile, Invisalign® might be the right fit for you.

The Invisalign® process
Your complimentary consultation
Every journey starts with a free consultation. We’ll take high-quality images, evaluate your bite, and talk about your goals. Dr. Kim will help you visualize what your smile can look like and determine if clear aligners are the right fit for you.

Digital scan & custom plan
No goopy impressions here. We use advanced digital scanning to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. From there, we build a treatment plan that maps out every movement so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Your aligners arrive
Once your aligners are ready, we’ll show you how to wear them, when to switch to the next set, and how to care for them. Most patients wear their aligners 20–22 hours a day for best results.
Progress and smile reveal
We’ll see you every few weeks to check your progress and keep your treatment on track. As your smile transforms, you’ll feel more confident with every visit. When treatment ends, we’ll provide a retainer to help maintain your results.
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions from our clients.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. For mild cases, it can be as short as six months. On average, most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months. During your consultation, Dr. Kim will give you a realistic timeline based on your goals.
Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You might feel some pressure or tightness when starting a new set, which means the aligners are working. This feeling typically fades within a day or two.
Many patients with crowding, spacing, mild bite issues, or rotated teeth are great candidates for Invisalign®. If your case is more complex, Dr. Kim can walk you through your options, including hybrid or combination approaches that still keep aesthetics in mind.
