Why Choose Arvada Dental

What Are Invisalign and Clear Aligners?

Invisalign uses a series of custom removable clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Each set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next.
Six Month Smiles uses fixed clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to straighten the front teeth in approximately six months. It is ideal for mild to moderate cosmetic alignment concerns.

The Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

Clear aligners deliver the results of traditional orthodontics with far greater comfort, convenience, and discretion.

  • Virtually Invisible: Clear aligners are nearly undetectable, so most people will not notice you are in treatment.

  • Removable for Eating and Cleaning: No dietary restrictions and no difficulty brushing or flossing around brackets and wires.

  • Comfortable to Wear: Smooth plastic aligners with no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums.

  • Fewer Office Visits: Progress check-ins are less frequent than traditional braces, fitting easily into a busy schedule.

  • Predictable Results: Advanced digital planning shows your projected outcome before treatment begins.

  • Improves Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay and gum disease.

Whether you choose Invisalign or Six Month Smiles, clear aligner treatment delivers lasting results with a significantly better experience than metal braces.

Are Clear Aligners Right for Me?

You may be a great candidate if you have crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth and want to correct them without metal braces. Clear aligners work well for adults and responsible teens. Most mild to moderate alignment cases can be treated effectively with one of our two clear aligner options.
Clear aligners may not be suitable for patients with severe bite problems or significant jaw misalignment. Invisalign also requires discipline, as aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day to stay on schedule. Schedule a consultation and Dr. Bennett will give you an honest assessment of your options.

Alignment Issues Clear Aligners Can Correct

Invisalign and Six Month Smiles address a wide range of orthodontic concerns for teens and adults.

  • Crowded Teeth: Gently create space and align overlapping teeth for a cleaner, more uniform smile.

  • Gapped Teeth: Close unwanted spaces between teeth for a more even appearance.

  • Overbite: Correct upper teeth that extend too far over lower teeth.

  • Underbite: Bring lower teeth into proper alignment with upper teeth

  • Crossbite: Align teeth that bite on the wrong side of opposing teeth.

  • Minor Front Teeth Crowding: Fast cosmetic correction with Six Month Smiles in approximately six months.

Severely complex bite issues may require a traditional orthodontic referral. We will assess your needs honestly during your consultation.

What to Expect: The Clear Aligner Process

1

Consultation and Evaluation

We examine your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment. We take digital scans and X-rays to determine whether Invisalign or Six Month Smiles is the right fit for you.
2

Digital Treatment Planning

Using your scans, we map out your complete treatment digitally. Invisalign patients can view a simulation of their final result before treatment begins.
3

Custom Fabrication

Your aligners or Six Month Smiles brackets are custom-made to your precise measurements and shipped directly to our Arvada office within a few weeks.
4

Fitting Appointment

We fit your first set of aligners or place your Six Month Smiles brackets and review all wear instructions. Invisalign patients receive several sets to progress through at home.
5

Progress Check-Ins

We see you every six to eight weeks to monitor progress and provide your next sets of aligners. Six Month Smiles patients visit monthly for adjustments.
6

Retention Phase

Once treatment is complete, we provide retainers to maintain your results. Consistent retainer wear is essential to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back.

Adjusting to Your Clear Aligners

Most patients adapt within the first few days. You may notice mild pressure or slight speech changes when starting a new set of trays, which typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Once treatment is complete, consistent retainer wear protects your results long-term.

Flexible Financing for Invisalign and Six Month Smiles

Clear aligner treatment is more affordable than most patients expect. We accept most dental insurance plans, and many plans that cover traditional braces will also cover a portion of Invisalign. Our membership club members receive a 10% discount on all orthodontic services, and we offer flexible financing through multiple providers with low monthly payment options.

How much does Invisalign cost in Arvada, Colorado?

  • Invisalign treatment typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500 depending on case complexity. Six Month Smiles is generally more affordable at $2,500 to $4,000. Many insurance plans cover a portion of Invisalign just as they would traditional braces. We offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, and membership club members receive a 10% discount on all orthodontic services.

How long does Invisalign take in Arvada, Colorado?

  • Most Invisalign cases complete in 12 to 18 months. Six Month Smiles typically takes around six months. Your actual timeline depends on case complexity and how consistently you wear your aligners.

Does Invisalign hurt?

  • Most patients experience mild pressure for one to two days when switching to a new set of aligners. This is significantly less than the discomfort traditional braces patients typically experience. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed.

Does insurance cover Invisalign in Arvada, Colorado?

  • Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits cover a portion of Invisalign, typically $1,000 to $2,000. We verify your benefits before your consultation and provide a clear breakdown of out-of-pocket costs. Flexible financing covers any remaining balance.

How many hours a day do I wear Invisalign?

  • Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Consistent wear keeps treatment on schedule.

What is the difference between Invisalign and Six Month Smiles?

  • Invisalign uses removable clear aligners to treat a wide range of issues over 12 to 18 months. Six Month Smiles uses fixed clear brackets focused on cosmetic front-teeth alignment in approximately six months. Invisalign suits more complex cases; Six Month Smiles suits minor front-teeth concerns.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

  • Yes. You remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, so there are no dietary restrictions. Brush before reinserting trays to prevent staining and bacteria buildup.

Will clear aligners affect my speech?

  • Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days. This resolves quickly as your tongue adjusts. Reading aloud can speed up the adaptation process.
