How it works
From first scan to a new smile
Treatment time varies by complexity and goals. After your exam and scan, we’ll give you a personalized estimate.
Step 1: Scan
A quick iTero 3D scan instead of messy impression putty. Most patients find it easier, and we can pause at any time.Step 2: Plan & preview
We plan your case from the scan and, in many cases, show you a simulation of potential changes. Previews are a planning tool, not a guarantee.Step 3: Wear your trays
Custom clear aligners, worn most of the day and night, with exact wear instructions and regular progress check-ups.Step 4: Keep your new smile
Retainers help maintain your results. We review retainer options and long-term care when treatment is complete.
Results vary
Smile previews are simulations and not a guarantee of results.
Digital scans
iTero® Digital Scans for Invisalign
We’ve upgraded our Invisalign process with an iTero intraoral scanner. Instead of messy impression trays, we capture a high-resolution 3D scan of your teeth in minutes.
That digital scan helps us plan your Invisalign case with precision and makes the start of treatment more comfortable – especially for patients who dislike traditional “goopy” impressions.
- No messy impression putty
- Fast, comfortable 3D scanning
- Detailed digital models that support aligner fit and planning
- Ability to track your progress with updated scans
- In many cases, we can use your scan to preview potential Invisalign results (results vary)
An Invisalign patient’s story
“I’m so glad I was referred to Dr. Chuang! I wanted some minor tweaks to my smile and he was able to help me achieve my desired look with just 7 trays. The whole process has been such a breeze and went by so quickly. He always takes his time to explain what’s going to be done and never rushes anything.”
Good questions
Invisalign & iTero FAQs
Something else on your mind? Send us a question
What will the consultation help me decide?
An examination, a discussion of your goals, and digital scanning when appropriate help determine whether aligners suit your teeth and bite. Ask about alternatives, limitations, follow-up visits, and retainers before deciding.
How much does Invisalign cost, and is the consultation free?
Call the office for the current consultation fee and an individual treatment estimate. Costs depend on the proposed plan, follow-up, and retainers. Confirm benefits with your exact insurer; a free consultation or coverage is not assumed.
What if clear aligners are not the right option?
Dr. Chuang can explain the findings and discuss alternatives or a referral when appropriate. A scan or smile preview is a planning aid and does not establish that a particular treatment is suitable.
What is the iTero scanner?
iTero is a handheld intraoral scanner that captures a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth. We use it to plan Invisalign treatment and to reduce the need for traditional impressions.
Is the iTero scan uncomfortable?
Most patients find it easier than impression trays because there’s no putty. We can pause at any time to keep you comfortable.
How long does an iTero scan take?
Usually just a few minutes, depending on your case.
Do I still need traditional impressions for Invisalign?
In many cases, no. A digital scan is enough for planning and aligner fabrication.
Can I see a preview of my Invisalign results?
Often, yes. We can use your scan to show a simulation of potential changes. It’s a planning tool – not a guarantee.
How many hours a day do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are typically worn most of the day and night. We’ll give you exact wear instructions based on your treatment plan.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies by complexity and goals. After your exam and scan, we’ll give you a personalized estimate.
What happens after Invisalign is complete?
Retainers help maintain your results. We’ll review retainer options and long-term maintenance at the end of treatment.
