By choosing Virtuosum Orthodontics, you’re entrusting your smile to one of the top Invisalign providers, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care and treatment outcomes.
Here’s a breakdown of the process at Virtuosum Orthodontics, guiding you from the initial consultation to the final reveal of your new smile.
Your journey begins with a visit to Virtuosum Orthodontics, where you discuss your smile goals and undergo a thorough dental evaluation to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a digital impression of your teeth is created, eliminating the need for traditional molds. Dr. O’Callaghan devises a customized treatment plan, using the 3D model to map out the movement of your teeth and predict the treatment duration.
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners are crafted specifically for your teeth. You’ll receive your first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear them properly for optimal results.
For the best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll transition to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth toward their final position.
You’ll have periodic appointments with your orthodontist to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. These visits are a great time to receive your next set of aligners and to ask any questions.
Refinements (If Necessary)
In some cases, additional aligners may be needed to make minor adjustments and ensure your teeth are perfectly aligned.
Once your treatment is complete, retainers are typically recommended to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position. Wearing your retainer as advised ensures the longevity of your results, keeping your smile straight and beautiful for years to come.
Invisalign for kids offers a perfect blend of these qualities, providing an orthodontic treatment that is not only effective but also suits the dynamic lifestyle of our younger patients. Key benefits include:
Customized to fit perfectly, each set of aligners is part of a series that gradually moves your child’s teeth into the desired position. This is achieved with precision, thanks to the advanced 3D imaging technology used in the creation of Invisalign trays, ensuring comfort and effectiveness throughout the treatment process.
Invisalign has become the preferred choice for orthodontic treatment among teenagers, blending seamlessly with their active and social lifestyles. Recognizing the unique needs of this age group, Virtuosum Orthodontics provides a solution that allows teens to enjoy life without the restrictions associated with traditional braces. The benefits include:
Invisalign Teen is meticulously designed to meet the unique orthodontic needs of teenagers, featuring compliance indicators for tracking wear time, replacement aligners for unexpected mishaps, and eruption tabs to accommodate growing mouths.
Invisalign’s clear aligners are designed for comfort and are nearly invisible, making them an ideal choice for adults in professional and social settings. Key considerations for adult treatment include:
At Virtuosum Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on being a leading provider of Invisalign, combining expertise and personalized care to ensure that each adult patient receives the most effective and suitable treatment for their specific needs.
Generally, Invisalign prices range from $3,000 to $7,000, with potential insurance contributions up to $3,000, depending on your plan.

During your consultation, our team will provide a detailed cost breakdown, explore insurance options, and discuss flexible payment solutions aligned to your financial situation.
Invisalign is highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, gap teeth, and crowded teeth. However, severe cases may require alternative treatments. A consultation can determine your eligibility.
For optimal results, it’s recommended that you wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Some people may experience a slight lisp initially. However, this is typically temporary and fades as your mouth adjusts to the aligners.
No, you should remove your aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent damage to them and to maintain proper oral hygiene.
Aligners should be cleaned regularly with Invisalign cleaning crystals, a soft toothbrush, and water, or mild soap. Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic.
Contact your orthodontist as soon as possible. Depending on your treatment progress, you might be advised to move to the next set of aligners or order a replacement for the lost set.
Invisalign is suitable for teens and adults. For younger patients, an assessment is necessary to determine if they are candidates for Invisalign or if another treatment is more appropriate.
Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of the case, but the average is between 12 and 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Many patients can switch from traditional braces to Invisalign. This decision depends on your orthodontic needs and treatment progress. A consultation with your orthodontist can determine if switching is a viable option for you.
