Invisalign Treatments - Wellington, FL
Straighter teeth.
No one has to know.
Straighter teeth change more than you'd expect. How you look in photos. How you feel walking into a room. Whether your bite is quietly wearing your teeth down without you knowing it. Invisalign at Smile Designs is planned and monitored by a prosthodontist, which means the result holds.
Index
Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten your teeth without brackets, without wires, and without putting your life on hold. Each set of aligners is digitally planned before your treatment even begins, so you know exactly where your smile is headed and how long it'll take to get there. Whether it's a minor adjustment or a full alignment, this is orthodontic treatment designed around your life: not the other way around.
How it works
From first scan to final smile, here's what to expect.
Step 1 — Consultation & Digital Scan
We start with a conversation about what you want to change, then take a 3D digital scan of your teeth. No messy impressions, just a quick, comfortable scan that gives us an exact model to work with.
Step 2 — Your Custom Plan
Using your scan, we map out every stage of your treatment digitally. You'll see a preview of your projected results before you commit to anything. No surprises.
Step 3 — Wear Your Aligners
You'll receive a series of custom aligners, each one moving your teeth a little closer to the target. Wear them 20–22 hours a day, switch to the next set every 1–2 weeks, and check in with us periodically to make sure everything's tracking.
Step 4 — Your New Smile
Once treatment is complete, we fit you with a retainer to keep everything in place. That's it, no dramatic reveal needed. You've been watching it happen the whole time.
Treatment Options
Invisalign Full
What it is: The comprehensive treatment for patients who need significant alignment correction: crowding, spacing, bite issues, or a combination. Treatment typically runs 12–18 months, with check-ins every 6–8 weeks.
Who it's for: Patients with moderate to complex alignment needs who want a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign Lite
What it is: A shorter treatment designed for minor corrections — slight crowding, small gaps, or a tooth that's shifted over time. Fewer trays, shorter timeline, same precision.
Who it's for: Patients with mild alignment issues who want a quicker, more targeted treatment. Also great for patients who had braces years ago and have experienced some relapse.
Teen Treatment
What it is: Invisalign designed for teenagers — with compliance indicators built into the aligners so parents (and the care team) can confirm they're being worn enough. Same clear, removable convenience, tailored for younger patients still growing.
Who it's for: Teens who need orthodontic correction but want an alternative to metal braces. Requires a conversation with our team to determine whether Invisalign is the right fit for their specific case.
Refinements & Retainers
What it is: After your main series of aligners, refinements are additional trays that fine-tune your results — closing the last small gaps or making final adjustments. Retainers follow to keep your teeth in place long-term. Both are included in your treatment plan.
Who it's for: All Invisalign patients. Refinements are a normal part of the process, not a sign something went wrong. Retainers are for life (or as long as you want your teeth to stay put).

FAQs
Questions?
We've got answers.
Most people have the same questions before starting. Here are the honest answers.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. The best way to know if it's right for your specific case is a consultation and 3D scan. We'll show you a digital preview of your projected results so you can see exactly what's achievable before committing to anything.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It depends on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections can take as few as three to six months. Moderate to complex cases typically run twelve to eighteen months. You’ll know your projected timeline before treatment begins.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel pressure and mild discomfort for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners. That's normal and it means your teeth are moving. It's not the same as the soreness associated with metal braces. Most patients adjust quickly and find the discomfort manageable.
What happens if I don't wear my aligners enough?
Clear aligners work on the principle of consistent, gradual movement. Aligners need to be worn twenty to twenty-two hours a day to stay on track. Wearing them less than that doesn’t just slow treatment down, it can stop it from working altogether. If teeth drift back significantly, a new treatment plan may be required, which comes with additional cost. It’s always worth bringing up compliance issues at your check-ins before they become a bigger problem.
Do I need a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes, and this part is non-negotiable. Once your teeth have moved into position, a retainer keeps them there. Without one, teeth naturally shift back over time. Retainers are included in your treatment plan and are a non-negotiable final step.
