Clear Aligners

Invisalign® | Spokane

A Clear Route to Your Best Smile

iSmile Orthodontics proudly provides Invisalign® to the Spokane community. This treatment is an excellent choice for our patients of all ages who wish to enhance their smiles with a less noticeable option.

The Invisalign Process

If traditional braces don't seem like the right fit for your lifestyle, consider Invisalign for a more discreet and flexible option. At iSmile Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign because it's practically invisible and removable, allowing you to eat freely and maintain better oral hygiene.

Consultation & Planning

Your journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Lauren assesses your dental needs. We ensure you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision about choosing Invisalign.

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we capture precise details of your teeth to design a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific orthodontic requirements.

Custom Aligners

We use these images to craft your personal set of aligners from SmartTrack material, which is known for its comfort and precision. These aligners fit snugly over your teeth, and you’ll receive a new set every week to gradually shift your teeth toward the desired position.

Regular Check-Ups

To monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments, you’ll visit our office approximately every 12 weeks. During these check-ups, we ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and make adjustments if necessary.

Seeing Your Future Smile

We also offer a digital preview of your post-treatment smile so you can see the transformative results Invisalign promises before you even start.

Perfecting Young Smiles With
Invisalign First

Invisalign First is now available for Spokane’s young residents. This specialized treatment provides a clear, comfortable alternative to traditional braces for your children.

What Is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is for children ages 7 to 10 and is specifically designed to address early orthodontic issues. It effectively manages alignment, arch expansion, crowding, and spacing issues to set a foundation for healthy dental development.

Dr. Lauren expertly applies this treatment to ensure your child's smile develops without a problem.

Why Choose Invisalign First Over Traditional Braces?

Children adapt quickly to the comfortable, removable aligners of Invisalign First, often faster than adults.

Your child will need to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, but they can remove them for eating, brushing, or during sports, offering flexibility that traditional braces can’t match.

The Clear Benefits for Children

Invisalign First aligners offer the freedom to eat without restrictions and the ease of keeping excellent oral hygiene — no navigating around brackets and wires.

The simplicity of cleaning aligners and the reduced need for emergency orthodontic visits make Invisalign First a parent-approved choice.

Simple Care for Invisalign Aligners

Caring for Invisalign aligners is easy. Children can quickly learn to rinse and brush them with a toothbrush and cold water to promote good hygiene habits and ensure the aligners remain clean and clear.

Invisalign for Teens

We understand that teens need orthodontic solutions that won’t slow them down. Invisalign provides the perfect solution with its flexibility and discreet appearance.

Teens can freely enjoy all their activities without the hassle of traditional braces. Dr. Lauren and our supportive team make achieving a beautiful smile easy and enjoyable.

The Invisalign Teen Advantage

Invisalign for teens is practically invisible, ideal for those who are self-conscious about wearing braces. The removable design allows for normal eating and easy cleaning—brushing and flossing are no hassle.

Daily Wear Guidelines

Teens need to wear their Invisalign aligners for about 22 hours a day to see the best results. Each set comes with compliance indicators that fade based on how often you wear them. This helps Dr. Lauren ensure teens are staying on track.

Duration of Treatment

Treatment time with Invisalign varies. Most teens complete their treatment within one to two years, depending on their specific dental needs. Dr. Van Gemert tailors each treatment plan to ensure the most effective results.

Eating With Invisalign

Invisalign has no food restrictions. Teens can remove their aligners and enjoy any meal or snack without concern about damaging their braces.

Handling Lost Aligners

If an aligner gets lost, contact iSmile Orthodontics right away. We can replace it quickly to keep treatment on track or advise moving to the next set when appropriate.

Cost & Financing

The cost of Invisalign for teens depends on individual treatment plans. iSmile Orthodontics offers various financing options and works with your insurance to keep treatment affordable.

Expanding Smiles With Invisalign

At iSmile Orthodontics, we use Invisalign with special devices to help young patients who need a little extra space in their upper jaw. This method is great for making sure there's enough room for teeth to grow correctly.

How It Works

Dr. Lauren uses Invisalign aligners together with devices called Invisalign Palatal Expanders (IPE) to gently widen the upper jaw. This helps improve how the upper and lower teeth fit together and makes the face look better, too.

Benefits of This Method

Combining Invisalign with IPEs solves several problems at once. It straightens teeth, makes more space for them, and avoids the need for bigger dental work later.

What the Treatment Involves

First, Dr. Lauren checks each patient's teeth and plans the treatment carefully. Kids wearing these devices visit us regularly so we can make sure everything is moving along well.

Why It Matters for the Future

This treatment not only fixes teeth for now but also helps keep them healthy as kids grow up. It sets up a good foundation for a great smile that lasts a lifetime.
