Invisalign in Delano

Want a clear, comfortable way to straighten your smile near Delano? Ovation Orthodontics offers Delano Invisalign treatment using custom clear aligners that gently shift teeth into place. Our doctors, Dr. Adam Hoxie, DDS, Dr. Mike Hoxie, DDS, Dr. Mike Lee, DDS, and Dr. Tiffany Waki, DDS, have helped families across the west metro get show-stopping smiles with this nearly invisible system.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of custom clear aligners made from smooth, BPA-free SmartTrack plastic that gradually moves your teeth into the right position. Each tray is shaped just for you using a 3D digital scan. The aligners are nearly invisible, removable for meals and brushing, and treat everything from mild crowding to complex bite issues.

So how is it different from metal braces? Instead of brackets and wires, you wear a smooth tray over your teeth. You swap to a new set every one to two weeks, and each set keeps the gentle pressure going.

A few quick facts to know:

  • The plastic is smooth, BPA-free, and designed for all-day comfort
  • Trays lift out for eating, brushing, and flossing
  • Most people won't notice you're in treatment
  • Invisalign can fix crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites

Busy parent, high schooler, or working professional, Invisalign blends right into daily life. Our team will walk you through how it fits your goals during your free consult.

How Invisalign Treatment Works

Invisalign treatment at Ovation Orthodontics follows four simple steps. It starts with a free consult and a 3D digital scan, then a custom plan and aligner set-up. From there you wear your trays 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to new ones every one to two weeks, with short check-ups every six to eight weeks. Most cases finish in 6 to 18 months.

Here's a closer look at what to expect:

  1. Step 1: Free consult and digital scan. You'll meet with one of our doctors, share your goals, and get a fast digital scan of your teeth. No goopy impressions. We'll review your bite, your smile, and whether Invisalign is the right fit.
  2. Step 2: Custom plan and aligner fabrication. Our team designs your full set of aligners using 3D planning software. You'll see a digital preview of how your teeth will move from start to finish.
  3. Step 3: Wear and switch your trays. Wear each set of aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Remove them for meals, drinks (other than water), and brushing. Switch to the next set every one to two weeks as directed.
  4. Step 4: Check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks. Quick visits let us track progress, hand off the next set of trays, and make small tweaks. Many Delano families pick the office close to home in Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Chaska, or Waconia.

Total time in trays depends on your case. Mild fixes can wrap up in about 6 months, while more involved cases may take 18 months or longer. Your doctor will give you a clear timeline at your first visit.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is a strong fit for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites who can wear their trays 20 to 22 hours a day. It also works for younger kids through Invisalign First. The best way to confirm your fit is a free consult with our team.

You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Have mild to moderate alignment or bite concerns
  • Will wear your trays 20 to 22 hours a day, every day
  • Want a clear option for school, work, or social events
  • Prefer fewer food restrictions and easier brushing

We see candidates of all ages:

  • Kids. Invisalign First helps younger kids with early treatment, guiding growing smiles before bigger issues set in. The American Association of Orthodontists and our doctors recommend a first orthodontic visit by age 7.
  • Teens. Invisalign Teen includes built-in wear indicators and replacement trays. Parents get real peace of mind.
  • Adults. Many adults pick Invisalign because it blends into their routine at work and home.

Severe bite issues or complex tooth movements sometimes call for metal braces or clear braces instead. The best way to know? Book a free consult with Dr. Adam Hoxie, Dr. Mike Hoxie, Dr. Mike Lee, or Dr. Tiffany Waki, and we'll map out your best smile solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign in Delano

How much does Invisalign cost in Delano?

Cost depends on the length and complexity of your treatment. Ovation Orthodontics offers low monthly financing, 0% interest options, and hands-on help with insurance. You'll get a clear quote with exact costs at your free consult, with no surprises later.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign cases at our offices wrap up in 6 to 18 months. Mild crowding or small gaps often finish faster, while bigger bite changes take longer. Your doctor will give you an estimated timeline after reviewing your 3D scan.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is designed to be comfortable. You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two when you switch to a new set of trays, which is a sign your teeth are moving. The smooth plastic is much gentler on cheeks and gums than brackets and wires.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

It depends on your smile goals. Invisalign is a great fit for adults and teens who want a clear, removable option. Metal braces or clear braces can be a better pick for complex cases. At your free consult, our doctors will walk you through both smile solutions and help you choose.

How often do I wear the aligners?

You should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results. Take them out only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Consistent wear is the key to staying on schedule.

Can teens get Invisalign?

Yes! Invisalign Teen is made just for high schoolers and middle schoolers. It includes built-in wear indicators so parents can check that trays are being worn, plus free replacement trays in case one gets lost.
