Straighten your smile without metal brackets or wires. Our clear aligner treatment is virtually invisible, removable, and fits your lifestyle.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. At Noleen Dental, Dr. Nguyen creates a personalized treatment plan mapped out digitally from start to finish — so you can even preview your final smile before you begin.
Clear aligners offer a modern approach to orthodontics that fits seamlessly into your life.
Clear plastic aligners are barely noticeable — most people won't even know you're in treatment.
Remove aligners for meals. No food restrictions — enjoy popcorn, apples, and everything in between.
Brush and floss normally. No brackets trapping food or making cleaning difficult.
See a digital preview of your final results and know exactly how long treatment will take.
Smooth, custom-trimmed edges — no wires poking your cheeks or sharp metal brackets.
Check-ins every 6–8 weeks instead of monthly adjustments. More time for what matters to you.
Whether you need minor touch-ups or comprehensive alignment, we have an Invisalign solution for you.
Invisalign effectively addresses a wide range of alignment issues for both teens and adults.
Gently creates space and aligns overlapping or rotated teeth for easier cleaning and a better bite.
Closes spaces between teeth to improve aesthetics and prevent gum problems.
Corrects upper teeth biting too far over lower teeth, reducing jaw strain and wear.
Moves lower teeth back into proper alignment so they don't protrude past upper teeth.
Aligns upper and lower jaws so teeth meet correctly, preventing uneven wear.
Brings upper and lower teeth into contact to improve chewing and speech.
Teeth shifted after removing old braces? Invisalign is a discreet way to get back on track.
Even if your bite is fine, aligners can perfect subtle imperfections for a more confident smile.
A simple, streamlined process from consultation to your new smile.
Meet with Dr. Nguyen to discuss your smile goals, review your dental history, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. No commitment required.
We use an iTero digital scanner (no messy impressions) to create a precise 3D map of your teeth. You can preview your projected final smile on screen right away.
Your personalized series of aligners is manufactured. Each set is slightly different, progressively moving your teeth toward the goal. Most patients receive 20–30 sets.
Wear each set of aligners 20–22 hours per day for 1–2 weeks, then switch to the next set. Visit us every 6–8 weeks so Dr. Nguyen can monitor your progress.
When treatment is complete, enjoy your new, straight smile! We'll provide custom retainers to maintain your results long-term.
Wear your Vivera retainers nightly to keep teeth in their new positions. This protects your investment for life.

Treatment time varies by case complexity. Mild cases (Invisalign Lite/Go) may take as little as 3–6 months. Comprehensive cases typically range from 12–18 months. During your consultation, Dr. Nguyen will give you a personalized timeline based on your digital scan.
You may feel mild pressure or soreness for 1–3 days each time you switch to a new set of aligners — this is normal and means the aligners are working. Most patients find it far more comfortable than traditional braces. There are no sharp wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks.
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day. You only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush/floss. Wearing them less than this can delay your treatment timeline.
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic coverage will apply the same benefit to Invisalign as they would to traditional braces. We'll verify your benefits before treatment begins. We also offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit and in-house financing options.
Once you complete treatment, you'll receive custom Vivera retainers. Initially you'll wear them full-time for a few months, then transition to nightly wear. Retainers are essential — without them, teeth can gradually shift back over time (a natural process called relapse).
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons adults choose Invisalign — their teeth shifted after wearing braces years ago. Invisalign Lite is often a perfect, cost-effective solution for these "relapse" cases.
