I am being treated with Invisalign by Sonoran Dental Design. Dr Sielicki and her assistant Kelly used a digital scanner to create a 3D model of my teeth and showed me a rendering of the exact movements my teeth would make during treatment. The process was simple and easy. Dr Sielicki and her team clearly have the best technology, team, and clinical skills. I am looking forward to all my future visits!

Traditional Metal Braces
This form of traditional orthodontics uses metal brackets, bands, and wires to straighten the teeth. These appliances are visible, but they can address a wide range of mild to severe orthodontic problems.
Clear Aligner Treatment With Invisalign
The Invisalign system also straightens teeth over time, but it uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners to achieve results. Each set of aligners is typically worn for one or two weeks before switching to the next set.
See How Invisalign Differs From Traditional Braces
This video breaks down the main differences between Invisalign and metal braces. If you have questions about your treatment options, our team in Scottsdale is happy to speak with you. Feel free to contact us at any time.
What Common Conditions Can Invisalign Address?
One of the best things about Invisalign is that it can treat many of the same orthodontic conditions as traditional braces. Clear aligners can correct:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded or overlapped teeth
- Gaps or spaces
- Rotated teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
But Is Invisalign Right for Me? Determining Your Candidacy for Invisalign
During your initial consultation, we can discuss what Invisalign can do for you and show you before-and-after photos of real patients. We'll also discuss your concerns, smile goals, and health history. Aligner therapy may be right for you if you have:
Good Oral Health
Before straightening your teeth, we must ensure that you do not have extensive tooth decay, gum disease, or other serious problems. We can treat these issues at our office.
Mild to Moderate Misalignment
While clear aligners can correct the majority of orthodontic problems, complex cases may require traditional orthodontics. We can put you in touch with an orthodontist in the Scottsdale area.
A Commitment to Treatment
To be effective, aligners should be worn for a minimum of 22 hours every day. They should only be removed to brush, floss, eat, and drink, and must be worn to sleep each night.
Ready for a Straighter Smile?
Invisalign can transform your teeth without the drawbacks of braces. The sooner you start your treatment, the sooner you can have a gorgeous new smile to share with those around you. Call (480) 419-9595 or write to our Scottsdale team to request your consultation today.
Keeping Your Invisalign Treatment Affordable
Many insurance plans cover Invisalign the same way they would cover braces. Our Scottsdale team will work directly with your provider to seek maximum benefits on your behalf.
If you need help with any out-of-pocket costs, we accept CareCredit®, which is a third-party financing option that allows you to pay for your treatment in monthly installments with little or no interest.
The Typical Invisalign Treatment Timeline
Invisalign treatment takes about 12 to 18 months to complete. It may take shorter or longer depending on your specific case. Here are some general steps to expect during the treatment process:
Treatment can often be completed in as few as 12 months.
Caring for Your Clear Aligners Trays
While you are undergoing treatment, it is important to keep your Invisalign aligners clean and free from harmful bacteria. Here are a few recommendations from our dental team:
Rinse your aligners every time you remove them. This helps wash away dried saliva and bacteria. Be sure to use cool water, as warm or hot water can warp the trays.
While toothpaste is excellent for cleaning your teeth, it is not a good choice for cleaning your aligners. Use clear antibacterial soap and a soft toothbrush to remove plaque and tartar.
Never leave your trays laying out or carry them loose in your pocket. They can easily become warped. Always place them in the provided protective case for safety.
Invisalign trays should be soaked at least once every day in a special cleaning solution made specifically for aligners. Ask our dental team for recommendations.
