Why does a cosmetic dentist offer Invisalign?

Because the most conservative way to fix a tooth that's out of place is usually to move it, not cover it. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually, with no brackets or wires.

At Lush, Invisalign is often the first step of a smile plan. We straighten first, then perfect with whitening or edge bonding if needed. Aligning teeth before veneers can reduce how much enamel we need to shape, and sometimes alignment plus whitening is all a smile needs.

The Process

From scan to retainer.

01

Exam & records

Health check, X-rays, photos and an iTero digital scan, with no goopy impressions.

02

Your treatment plan

We map the tooth movements and walk you through the plan before you commit, including whether bonding or whitening should follow.

03

Attachments & aligners

Small tooth-colored bumps (attachments) give the aligners grip for certain movements. You switch aligner sets on the schedule we give you.

04

Check-ins & refinements

We monitor tracking. Refinement aligners fine-tune the details if needed.

05

Retainers

Teeth drift without them. Nightly retainer wear protects the result.

Expert Notes

What makes aligners work, or not.

Wear time is the treatment. Aligners only move teeth while they're in your mouth. Patients who wear them as directed tend to stay on schedule. Patients who don't, don't.

Plan the finish before the start. If your edges are chipped or uneven, we plan edge bonding into the end of treatment instead of improvising afterward. Some proportion problems, like small lateral incisors, are only obvious once teeth are straight.

Cleaning gets easier, not harder. Removable aligners let you brush and floss normally. Straighter teeth trap less plaque over the long term, which is a health benefit, not just a cosmetic one.

Know when it's an orthodontist case. Significant skeletal bite problems belong with a specialist. We'll tell you at the consultation if that's you.

Common Questions

Your questions, answered.

How much does Invisalign cost at Lush Dental Studio?
Invisalign treatment at Lush is $4,500. Some PPO plans cover part of the cost of orthodontic treatment, but coverage varies from plan to plan, so we check your benefits before you start. Financing options are available.
How long does Invisalign take?
It depends on your case. Closing a small gap is very different from correcting crowding across both arches. We'll discuss what to expect for your case at your consultation.
How many hours a day do I need to wear aligners?
Align Technology's guidance is 20–22 hours a day. In practice that means you take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. Wearing them less is the most common reason cases fall behind or need extra aligners.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients feel pressure for the first day or two of each new set of aligners, which means the teeth are moving. It's usually described as tightness rather than pain.
Will I need retainers afterward?
Yes, for the long term. Teeth tend to drift back after any orthodontic treatment. Wearing a retainer at night is what protects the result you invested in.
Should I get Invisalign or veneers to fix crooked teeth?
If the teeth are healthy and the issue is position, moving them is almost always more conservative than reshaping them with veneers. Straightening first can also mean less preparation, or no veneers at all. Veneers can disguise mild misalignment, but the more out of line a tooth is, the more enamel has to come off to make it look straight.
Can every case be treated with Invisalign here?
No. Some bite and jaw problems are better handled by an orthodontist, and we'll refer you when that's the better path. Our goal is the right result, not keeping every case in-house.

Move the teeth. Keep the enamel.

Free cosmetic consultation ($150 value) includes X-rays. We'll tell you honestly whether aligners, bonding or a referral is the right path.
