Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Not sure which path is right for you? Here’s how Invisalign stacks up against traditional braces.
| Feature | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear and nearly invisible | Metal brackets and wires |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic, no sharp parts | Can irritate cheeks and gums |
| Removability | Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing | Fixed in place |
| Office visits | Fewer appointments, typically every 6–8 weeks | Monthly adjustments |
| Treatment tracking | Digital scan at start; progress monitored via ClinCheck | Periodic wire tightening |
| Candidacy | Best for mild to moderate misalignment | Works for more complex cases |
Invisalign works well for most common alignment issues like crowding, gaps, and mild bite problems. If your case is more complex, we’ll talk through all your options and recommend what’s best for your smile.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Adults and teens with mild to moderate misalignment are usually good candidates. You should be committed to wearing your aligners 20–22 hours a day and keeping up with oral hygiene. During a free consultation, we’ll take a quick scan and let you know if Invisalign is a fit for you. If it’s not, we can talk about other ways to straighten your teeth.
What to Expect: Your Invisalign Journey at Colorado Dental Spa
- Consultation and digital scan. You meet with Dr. Marcus or Dr. Dylan. We use the iTero scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth. You get to see a preview of your final smile.
- Custom aligner plan. Your aligners are made just for you. You’ll receive a series of trays, each moving your teeth a little closer to the goal.
- Check-ins every few weeks. We monitor your progress and make sure everything is on track. Fewer appointments mean less time out of your day.
- Retention phase. Once your teeth are straight, we help you keep them that way with a custom retainer. You had already started the process – now you just maintain it.
Throughout the process, we’re here to answer questions, adjust if needed, and make sure you feel good about your care.
What Happens If Misalignment Goes Untreated?
Ignoring crooked or crowded teeth isn’t just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to problems over time:
- Bite dysfunction – Your teeth may not meet properly, causing uneven wear.
- Gum disease risk – Crowded spots are harder to clean, so plaque builds up.
- TMJ strain – An uneven bite can put stress on your jaw joints, leading to headaches or jaw pain. We offer TMJ and bruxism treatment if those issues come up.
- Tooth wear – Misalignment can cause some teeth to take more force than others.
Straightening your teeth with Invisalign helps protect your long-term oral health and can save you from more extensive dental work later.

Frequently Asked Questions
— About Invisalign —
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel a little pressure or soreness when you switch to a new set of aligners. That's normal and usually fades within a day or two. Over-the-counter pain relievers help if needed. Most patients find Invisalign much more comfortable than braces.
How long does Invisalign take?
Every smile is different, but most people finish treatment in 12 to 18 months. We'll give you an accurate estimate based on your scan during the consultation.
Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?
Many dental plans include an orthodontic benefit that covers Invisalign. We work with a wide range of insurance carriers and will help you verify your benefits. For those without coverage, we keep pricing transparent and give you a clear estimate up front.
Can I eat and drink with aligners in?
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water. This keeps the trays clean and prevents staining. Just brush your teeth and rinse the aligners before popping them back in.
How is Colorado Dental Spa's Invisalign process different?
We combine Invisalign Certified provider experience with digital iTero scanning for a faster, more comfortable start. Plus, being a family-owned practice means you get personal attention. No rush, no pressure – just clear communication and care that fits your life.
