Book a free consultationWhat Invisalign can fix
Clear aligners treat far more than a slightly crooked tooth. Invisalign can correct:
- Crowded teeth Creates space so teeth that overlap or twist can line up.
- Gaps between teeth Closes one gap or several, including a front gap.
- Overbite Brings upper teeth that bite too far over the lower ones into line.
- Underbite Often corrects lower teeth that sit in front of the upper teeth.
- Crossbite Fixes upper teeth that bite inside the lower teeth.
- Open bite Helps front teeth that do not meet when you close to come together.
You are likely a good candidate if you have all your permanent teeth, healthy gums and can wear aligners 20–22 hours a day. Some complex cases still do better with braces — we will tell you honestly. Can Invisalign work for you?

Invisalign vs braces
Both straighten teeth well. The difference is how they fit your life — and we offer both, so the recommendation is about your teeth, not what we sell.

Teens
Invisalign Teen
Straight teeth without the metal-mouth photos. Built for teenage life:
- Blue wear indicators fade as the aligners are worn, so parents can see they are being used
- Replacement aligners included, in case one gets lost
- Room for permanent teeth that are still coming in
- Take them out for sports, wind instruments and eating anything
Adults
It is never too late to straighten your teeth
Most people will not notice you are wearing aligners — at work, in meetings or in photos. You can take them out for a dinner or special occasion, and there are no wires to break.
Planning veneers or whitening too? Straightening first often means less work later. See cosmetic dentistry.

Invisalign questions
How much does Invisalign cost in Natick?
It depends on how much your teeth need to move and how long treatment takes. Your consultation is free, and you get an exact price before you commit, with monthly payment options available.
Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
If your plan includes orthodontic benefits, it may pay toward Invisalign in the same way it would toward braces. Give us your insurance details and we will check your coverage and file the claims for you.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most patients finish in 12–18 months, and simpler cases can be quicker. Many people feel their teeth shifting within a few weeks and see visible changes within about two months. We give you a timeline for your own case at the consultation.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
20–22 hours a day. Take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss, then put them straight back in.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
Both straighten teeth effectively. Invisalign is nearly invisible, removable and needs fewer visits; braces can suit some complex cases better and do not rely on you wearing them. Our orthodontist will recommend what will work best for your teeth.
Am I too old for Invisalign?
No. Adults are ideal candidates as long as they have all their permanent teeth and healthy gums. Any cavities or gum disease are treated first.
Can teenagers get Invisalign?
Yes — Invisalign Teen has blue wear indicators that fade as the aligners are worn, so you can see they are being used, and includes replacement aligners in case one is lost.
What happens after Invisalign treatment?
You wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Vivera retainers are made from the same precise 3D model as your aligners.
Where can I get Invisalign near me?
In our office at 17 Worcester St on Route 9 West in Natick, MA 01760 — a short drive from Framingham, Wellesley, Wayland, Sherborn and Dover — with Saturday morning appointments.
