Invisalign® in Highlands Ranch, CO
Invisalign® aligners are an effective and discreet orthodontic treatment option, worn comfortably over your teeth to continuously adjust alignment and spacing. Our doctors at Highlands Ranch Smiles have done extensive training on the latest techniques and technology so our patients see fast and reliable results. We are members of the American Academy of Clear Aligners which is an organization focused on continuously improving the results of treatment with clear aligners of all types including Invisalign®.
Invisalign® aligners are custom-made using models of both your current teeth and the result you hope to achieve. With Invisalign®, you will switch to new aligners about every week. Each new set of aligners shifts your teeth slightly and continues until you have achieved your final results. At Highlands Ranch Smiles, our patients finish their treatment in an average of 9-12 months.
Invisalign® is so popular with our patients at Highlands Ranch Smiles that we are Platinum Providers. Platinum providers receive a discount from Invisalign® and we pass it on to you.

How does the Invisalign® process work?
To begin, we will take photographs of your teeth and face, dental impressions of your teeth, and X-rays. Those records are sent to Invisalign® with detailed instructions on how we want the final result to appear. Invisalign® will scan the impressions to create a 3D model of the teeth and work with your dentist to get the mold to its exact proportions. Once final, the trays are made and mailed to your dentist’s office. You will wear a set of trays for one week at a time for the duration of treatment. We will give you about 2 months’ worth of trays at a time and schedule check-in appointments near the end of that supply to ensure your teeth are moving correctly.

What are the advantages of Invisalign®?
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional metal braces, making it a popular choice for orthodontic treatment among both adults and teens. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. This discreet nature allows for a more aesthetic appearance throughout treatment.
- Comfort: The aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, with no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth. This results in a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
- Removability: Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This allows for better oral hygiene during treatment, as you can clean your teeth more effectively than with traditional braces.
- No Food Restrictions: Because you can remove the aligners, there are no dietary restrictions. You can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods without worry about damaging your orthodontic appliance.
- Predictable Treatment: Invisalign treatment involves the use of advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a complete treatment plan from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. This technology allows for more predictable and efficient treatment outcomes.
- Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign often requires fewer check-ups and adjustments than traditional braces, as you’re given several sets of aligners to wear before needing to visit your orthodontist again. This can be more convenient for busy schedules.
- Suitable for a Range of Corrections: Invisalign can correct many common teeth alignment issues, from mild to moderate overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
While Invisalign offers these advantages, it’s important to consult with your dentist or orthodontist to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for your specific needs.
