An innovative, discreet, and effective system of care, Invisalign® treatment offers a cosmetic way to align your smile with minimal interference to daily activities.
When you’re ready to transform your smile without the hassle of traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners in Chicago offer a solution that fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. These virtually invisible orthodontic devices have changed the way people approach teeth straightening, providing a discreet and comfortable alternative that allows you to maintain your confidence throughout treatment.
At Sonrisa Family Dental, we recognize every smile is unique, which is why we offer comprehensive Invisalign treatment at our Chicago locations. Our team combines advanced technology with personalized care to create custom treatment plans that address your specific alignment concerns. We proudly accept most insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare for orthodontic services, making this transformative treatment accessible to families throughout Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth without traditional metal brackets or wires. Each set of aligners applies gentle, controlled pressure to shift teeth incrementally into their correct positions.
Modern orthodontic treatment goes beyond simply straightening teeth. It creates proper bite alignment, improves facial harmony, and establishes a foundation for lifelong oral health. Today’s Invisalign aligners fit seamlessly into adult lifestyles and busy schedules, making treatment more convenient than ever.
At Sonrisa Family Dental, we view Invisalign as an investment in your overall health and confidence. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. A balanced bite prevents excessive wear on teeth and can eliminate TMJ-related discomfort. Whether you’re seeking Invisalign treatment in Chicago for yourself or for your child, we create personalized treatment plans that deliver beautiful, lasting results.
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces, including a nearly invisible appearance, removable trays for easy eating and cleaning, and fewer emergency visits due to broken brackets or wires.
These benefits make Invisalign an ideal choice for teens and adults seeking orthodontic treatment in Chicago who need predictable treatment schedules.

Your Invisalign treatment begins with a detailed consultation where we capture precise digital impressions of your teeth using our state-of-the-art 3D scanner. This comfortable, mess-free process replaces traditional putty impressions and provides incredibly accurate data for creating your custom Invisalign trays. We’ll also take photographs and X-rays to complete your orthodontic records.
Using Invisalign’s proprietary software, we’ll map out your entire treatment plan, showing you exactly how your teeth will move with each set of aligners. This treatment preview allows you to see your future smile and the timeline for achieving your goals. Once you approve the plan, your custom Invisalign aligners are manufactured specifically for your teeth.
When your Invisalign trays arrive at our Chicago office, you’ll return for a fitting appointment where we’ll ensure proper fit and teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your aligners. We may place small, tooth-colored attachments on certain teeth to help the aligners grip more effectively. These attachments are barely noticeable and are removed at the end of treatment, leaving your teeth completely smooth and natural-looking.

There are many options for patients who want to avoid metal braces! The most popular alternative orthodontic treatment is Invisalign®, which are clear plastic aligners designed to straighten teeth. After an examination of your teeth, your dentist will determine which option is best suited to your wants and needs.
According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for treatment is approximately the same as the cost for metal braces. A portion of this cost may be covered by your insurance. Please call us to set up a consultation and discuss potential payment plan options.
Invisalign® aligners are made of clear, flexible plastic. The company received a patent for this material – SmartTrack® – to be used exclusively for Invisalign treatment purposes. These aligners are FDA approved and nearly invisible!
Your doctor will give you an estimate regarding how long your Invisalign® treatment should take, which will depend on your specific needs. The average length of time for treatment is approximately 12-18 months. However, some patients may see results far sooner. Remember to wear your aligners exactly as instructed by your doctor to obtain the best results.
Your doctor will most likely recommend that you wear retainers following your Invisalign® treatment. This is a precaution that will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positioning. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly to ensure long-lasting results.
You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You may remove them for eating, drinking and regular oral hygiene.
No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you like as long as you remove the aligners before eating. Prior to placing the aligners back on, it is important to brush your teeth and the aligners after you eat.
Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.
There will be some pressure and minor discomfort for a day or two after each initial insertion. This is a sign that your teeth are moving sequentially into their final position.
It is recommended that you remove your aligners prior to chewing gum as the gum will stick to the aligners.
We discourage smoking with aligners as the cigarette smoke will tend to discolor them.
Brushing them with toothpaste will keep them fresh and clean.
Regular office visits are every five to six weeks. This will ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
All orthodontic patients are instructed to wear their retainers at night indefinitely. Sleeping with your retainers in at night will ensure a healthy bite and maintain the new position of your teeth.
