Clear Aligner System
What Is Invisalign
Discreet Orthodontics for Modern Smiles
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth, removable, and practically undetectable — allowing you to straighten your smile without anyone knowing you're in treatment.
At SunRiver Dental Care, Dr. Khursand uses advanced 3D digital imaging and the latest Invisalign technology to map out every stage of your smile transformation before treatment even begins. You'll see your final result from day one, and each aligner brings you one step closer to the confident, radiant smile you deserve.

Why Invisalign
Six Reasons to Choose Invisalign
More than just a straighter smile — Invisalign fits seamlessly into your life while delivering exceptional results.
Removable & Convenient
Remove your aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. No dietary restrictions, no special cleaning routines — just a seamless fit into your daily life. Enjoy all your favorite foods without worry.
Comfortable Fit
No sharp metal brackets, no protruding wires, no mouth sores. Invisalign's smooth plastic aligners gently and gradually move your teeth with minimal discomfort. Each new set of aligners delivers controlled, predictable force.
Better Oral Hygiene
Because Invisalign is removable, you can brush and floss normally throughout treatment. No tricky flossing around wires or brackets means a lower risk of cavities, gum disease, and white spot lesions during orthodontic care.
Fewer Appointments
With Invisalign, you receive multiple aligners at each visit, reducing the frequency of in-office appointments. Typical checkups are every 6 to 8 weeks, saving you time while keeping your treatment on track.
Digital Precision
Using advanced 3D iTero scanning and ClinCheck software, we map your complete treatment journey digitally before you begin. You'll see your predicted final smile and every step along the way with stunning accuracy.

FAQ
Invisalign Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about Invisalign clear aligner treatment at SunRiver Dental Care.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before moving to the next set, with total treatment typically lasting 6 to 18 months. The aligners apply controlled force to specific teeth, and the digital treatment plan maps out every stage of movement with precision.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience mild pressure or temporary tenderness when starting a new set of aligners, but this typically subsides within a day or two. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation, and the smooth plastic aligners are designed for maximum comfort. Most patients adjust within the first week and find the treatment very manageable.
Treatment time varies by case complexity, but most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 6 to 18 months. Mild cases involving minor crowding or spacing can finish in as little as 4 to 6 months. More complex cases may take 18 to 24 months. Dr. Khursand will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific smile goals during your initial consultation.
You should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This is one of the biggest advantages of Invisalign — no food restrictions whatsoever. You can enjoy all your favorite foods, and there's no risk of damaging brackets or wires. Just brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to keep both your teeth and aligners clean.
Absolutely! Invisalign offers a Teen-specific solution with features designed for younger patients, including compliance indicators that track wear time and custom eruption tabs to accommodate growing molars. It's an excellent option for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance and discomfort of traditional metal braces, giving them confidence throughout the school years.
The cost of Invisalign varies depending on case complexity and treatment length. We accept most major dental insurance plans and many offer orthodontic benefits that cover a portion of Invisalign treatment. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit with low monthly payment options. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of costs and help you maximize your insurance benefits.
Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign is essential to maintain your newly straightened smile. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift back to their original position over time, a process called relapse. We recommend a custom-fit retainer to keep your results stable. Typically, you'll wear your retainer full-time for a few months, then switch to nighttime wear for long-term maintenance.
