Serving Deer Park, La Porte, Pasadena, Baytown, and the Greater Houston Area
Digital Impressions with the iTero Scanner
We start every Invisalign® case with a digital iTero scan, a precise 3D model of your teeth taken in minutes, without traditional impression trays. You can see your projected tooth movement on-screen before committing to treatment. Our iTero scanner communicates directly with Invisalign® to design aligners that fit accurately from tray one.
Specialist Oversight on Every Case
Dr. Reary, DMD, MSD, is a board-certified Prosthodontist, a dental specialist in tooth structure, alignment, and restoration. Having a Prosthodontist involved in your Invisalign® case means your bite alignment, not just appearance, is factored into the treatment plan. Most Deer Park dental offices don’t have this credential on staff.
How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign® clear aligners are worn comfortably over your teeth, continuously adjusting alignment and spacing. Your aligners are custom-made using models of both your current teeth and the end result you want to achieve.
You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, with each set shifting your teeth slightly. Treatment typically ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on the complexity of your case. Dr. Liu or Dr. Reary will give you a personalized estimate after your iTero scan. You remove the aligners to eat, drink, and brush, which means no food restrictions and no changes to your oral hygiene routine.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?
Most teens and adults requiring mild to moderate orthodontic correction can use Invisalign®. This includes crooked or misaligned teeth, noticeable spacing, and minor bite issues. More complex cases may require traditional braces or additional treatment. We’ll tell you exactly which category yours falls into at your consultation, and we won’t recommend Invisalign® if it isn’t the right fit for your case.
How does the Invisalign® process work?
To begin, we will take photographs of your teeth and face, digital dental impressions of your teeth with our iTero Digital Scanner, and digital x-rays. Those records are sent to Invisalign® with detailed instructions on how we want the final result to appear. Invisalign® will take our 3D model of the teeth and work with your dentist to make sure we move the teeth into the right positions to make your bite stable and straight. Once we finalize the plan, the trays are made and mailed to our office. You will wear a set of trays for one to two weeks at a time. Your treatment time will depend on how much we have to move your teeth but typically ranges between 6 and 18 months. It can be different and your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate after examining your case.
Invisalign® vs. braces: what's the difference?
There are many differences between Invisalign® and braces, we’ve listed some of the largest ones here. Ultimately, the decision is up to you, but the introduction of Invisalign® to the market introduced a more efficient, less painful way to straighten teeth.
- Materials. Invisalign® uses clear transparent aligners, while braces use wires and brackets.
- Removability. Invisalign® aligners can be removed by the user at any time, while braces can only be removed by a professional.
- Food Restrictions. Invisalign® allows a user to eat whatever they would like and not make changes to their oral care practices, while braces restrict what the user can safely eat and require special maintenance and care.
- Injury Risks. Invisalign® aligners do not present any injury risks, while braces can lead to cuts and other injuries.
- Visibility. Invisalign® aligners are nearly impossible for others to notice, while braces are almost impossible to miss.
How much does Invisalign® cost?
According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for this treatment is generally similar to traditional metal braces. Your total cost depends on:
- Insurance coverage. Most PPO insurance plans cover Invisalign® the same way they cover braces. TexSmiles is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, Guardian, MetLife, Aetna, Humana, and United Health Care.
- Length and complexity of treatment. Because you receive new aligners every one to two weeks, the total cost varies with the number of aligners your case requires.
TexSmiles offers flexible financing through CareCredit, LendingClub, and Proceed Finance, as well as an in-house savings plan for patients without insurance. Visit our Financial page for a full overview of payment options.
Who can use Invisalign®?
Most teens and adult patients requiring mild to moderate orthodontic corrections can use Invisalign®. This includes patients with teeth that are crooked and misaligned or teeth that feature noticeable spacing problems. Invisalign® can even help patients with minor bite issues. However, not all orthodontic issues can be treated with Invisalign®. More extensive problems will require additional treatment.
