How Invisalign works

Small moves, every two weeks, until they add up.

Each aligner is 3D-printed to move your teeth a fraction of a millimeter. Swap to the next set every one to two weeks, and the plan on your screen becomes the smile in your mirror.

Reveal & retainers

Final refinements if needed, then Vivera retainers to keep your new smile exactly where it is.

Invisalign vs. braces

Same result. Very different year.

Both straighten teeth. The difference is what the months in between look like, what you eat, how you brush, how often you visit, and who notices.

Some complex bite corrections still do best with braces. If that's you, we'll say so at your consult.

Why Invisalign at Mend

Gold Provider experience, neighborhood-office care.

Dr. Sison has planned enough Invisalign cases to earn Align's Gold Provider tier two years running, and she's still the one who scans you and reviews every stage.

  • Gold Provider, 2025 & 2026. Experience planning cases from simple relapse to full bite correction.
  • iTero Lumina scanning. No goopy impressions, and a preview you can actually see before you commit.
  • The same dentist, every visit. Dr. Sison reviews every stage herself, not a rotating provider.
  • Flexible check-ins. Early-morning slots and virtual progress checks when you travel.

What this means for your smile.

Dr. Sison trains with Molis Coaching, the number one Invisalign program in America. For you, that means a plan built by someone who has studied the details: how many aligners you really need, how to move teeth predictably, and how to avoid the mid-treatment surprises that add months.

Fewer refinements, a more comfortable fit, and a result that matches the 3D preview you approved. The Molis Method was developed with Align Technology, the makers of Invisalign, so your treatment follows the approach used by North America's leading Invisalign provider.

Molis Coaching is an approved continuing education program by the Academy of General Dentistry. It does not offer certifications or endorsements.

What Invisalign can fix

Most of what braces fix, without the metal.

Tap a concern to see how aligners handle it and roughly how long it takes. Your consult confirms the exact plan.

Cost & payment options

One clear quote. Monthly plans that fit.

Your Invisalign price depends on how far your teeth need to move and how long it takes, so we don't guess online. At your free consultation you'll get one all-in number that covers scans, every aligner, refinements and your first retainers. It won't change mid-treatment.

Many PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to Invisalign; we verify it before you arrive. For the balance, we partner with three payment-plan providers so you can choose the terms that suit you.

Sunbit
SunbitFast approval with a soft credit check that won't affect your score. Plans from 6 to 72 months.
Cherry
CherryApply in about 60 seconds from your phone. Flexible terms, including 0% APR options for qualified patients.
HFD
HFDHealthcare Finance Direct, longer-term plans with no hard credit pull and no prepayment penalties.

Approval, terms and APR are set by each provider and subject to credit review. Our team will help you apply in the office or from your phone.

Invisalign questions, answered.

Cost depends on how far your teeth need to move and how long treatment takes. Many PPO dental plans include an orthodontic benefit, and we offer monthly payment plans through Sunbit, Cherry and HFD. You'll get one all-in quote at your free consultation, and it won't change mid-treatment.

Mild crowding or spacing can finish in as little as 4 to 6 months. Most cases take 9 to 15 months, and complex bite corrections up to 24 months. Your 3D treatment plan shows your estimated timeline before you start.

You'll feel gentle pressure for a day or two after each new set of aligners, that's the teeth moving. There are no wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks, and most patients describe it as mild.

For most teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or bite issues, Invisalign offers the same result with fewer visits, no food restrictions, easier brushing and nearly invisible aligners. Some complex cases still do best with braces, and we'll tell you honestly if that's you.

Align Technology awards provider tiers based on the number of patients a dentist has treated with Invisalign. Gold status means Dr. Sison has treated a significant volume of cases and has the experience to plan and manage treatment efficiently.

Yes. Teeth drift over time without support. We'll fit you with Vivera retainers, worn nightly, to keep your results permanent.
