Invisalign
Metal-free orthodontics that works with your life.
Overview
Crooked or misaligned teeth affect more than appearance. They create uneven wear, make cleaning harder, and in some cases contribute to bite problems that affect the jaw and airway. Invisalign addresses all of this — discreetly, comfortably, and without metal.
How Invisalign works
Invisalign uses 3D imaging and mapping software to plan the precise sequence of tooth movement needed to reach your ideal alignment. A series of custom, clear plastic aligners are then fabricated — each one worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next. Most treatment completes in less than a year, significantly faster than traditional braces, with no brackets, wires, or dietary restrictions.
The Holistic Perspective
The holistic case for straighter teeth
Aligned teeth are easier to clean — reducing the bacterial load that drives gum disease and systemic inflammation. Proper bite alignment also reduces stress on the temporomandibular joint and can improve airway dynamics in some patients. We use Invisalign because it achieves these outcomes without introducing metal into the mouth, consistent with our commitment to biocompatible care.
Who This Is For
- Adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Patients who want a discreet, removable orthodontic option
- Those who have previously had braces and experienced relapse
- Anyone concerned about the aesthetics or comfort of metal braces

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about invisalign in Colorado Springs
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most adult cases at Springs Holistic Dentists complete in 12 months or less. Minor corrections can take as little as 6 months. During your consultation we'll use 3D imaging to give you a precise timeline before you commit.
How many hours per day do I wear the aligners?
Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day. They come out only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For mild to moderate misalignment, crowding, and spacing issues, Invisalign achieves equivalent outcomes to traditional braces — often faster and without metal in the mouth. Severe skeletal cases may require referral to an orthodontist.
Can I see what my results will look like before starting?
Yes. We use 3D digital mapping to create a simulation of your complete tooth movement sequence and projected final outcome before any treatment begins. You'll see exactly what to expect.
How often are check-in appointments needed with Invisalign?
Typically every 6–8 weeks. Because you change aligners at home every one to two weeks, far fewer in-office visits are required compared to traditional braces.
