Virtually Invisible Orthodontics
Straighten Your Smile — Without Anyone Knowing
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when worn, completely removable for eating and cleaning, and more comfortable because there are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums.
The system works by gently applying controlled force to specific teeth at specific times using aligners that are changed approximately every one to two weeks. Each new set of aligners moves you closer to your final, straighter smile.
What Invisalign Can Treat
- Crowded teeth — not enough space for teeth to fit properly
- Gaps between teeth — too much space between one or more teeth
- Overbite — upper front teeth bite down too far over lower teeth
- Underbite — lower teeth protrude in front of upper teeth
- Crossbite — upper and lower teeth don't come together correctly
- Open bite — upper and lower teeth don't meet at all when biting
- General misalignment or rotated teeth
How Invisalign Works at Lifestream
Free Consultation: Dr. Planes evaluates your teeth and bite, discusses your goals, and determines whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you. Digital scans (no messy impressions) are taken to visualize your treatment plan before a single aligner is made.
3D Treatment Planning: Using Invisalign's ClinCheck® software, Dr. Planes digitally maps your entire treatment — you can actually see a simulation of how your teeth will move from start to finish before treatment begins.
Custom Aligner Fabrication: Your personalized set of clear aligners is manufactured to precise specifications. Each aligner in the series represents a small, incremental movement toward your final result.
Wearing Your Aligners: Aligners are worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene. You progress to a new set approximately every 1–2 weeks.
Check-In Appointments: You'll visit Lifestream every 6–8 weeks so Dr. Planes can monitor your progress and ensure treatment is tracking perfectly. Most cases are completed in 12–18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours per day do I need to wear my aligners?
Invisalign aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for treatment to progress on schedule. They should only be removed for eating, drinking beverages other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners for the recommended hours is the most important thing you can do to ensure successful, on-time results.
Can I eat anything I want with Invisalign?
Yes — because the aligners are completely removable, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign. Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking (other than water), enjoy your meal, then brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners. This is one of the most significant lifestyle advantages Invisalign has over traditional braces.
How much does Invisalign cost?
Invisalign treatment at Lifestream typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,000 depending on the complexity and length of your case. We are currently offering $1,000 off all Invisalign cases, plus a free initial consultation. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit to make treatment affordable with low monthly payments. Many dental insurance plans also provide orthodontic coverage that can be applied to Invisalign.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign cases are completed in 12 to 18 months. Mild cases with minor crowding or spacing may take as little as 6 months. More complex cases involving significant bite correction may take up to 24 months. Dr. Planes will give you a personalized timeline estimate at your free consultation based on a full evaluation of your teeth and bite.
Is Invisalign right for me?
Invisalign is an excellent option for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues. More complex orthodontic cases may still require traditional braces or a combination of approaches. The best way to find out is to schedule your free Invisalign consultation at Lifestream — Dr. Planes will give you an honest assessment and recommendation based on your specific situation.
