Invisalign aligners are made of a unique thermoplastic material called SmartTrack, a multilayer polyurethane plastic resin designed specifically to align teeth. It is safe to use, FDA-approved, and effective for precision movement of teeth, along with being very comfortable. We custom design your aligners, based on your unique diagnosis, to fit precisely around your teeth. Each set of aligners is created with precision to advance your treatment, while maintaining a seamless fit comfortably against and around your teeth. Patients love the comfort factor that comes with Invisalign.
Prior to Invisalign, many adults lived with smiles they did not like and made them unhappy, because they didn’t believe they could wear metal braces while also maintaining their professional look at their workplace. The discreet appearance of Invisalign aligners being clear, subtle, and nearly invisible has made orthodontic treatment largely unnoticeable for career professionals (who don’t want the look of braces).
Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of your custom aligners in sequence; each set of aligners worn for a term of 2 weeks, and then replaced for the next set of aligners in the series. We will provide you with numerous sets of aligners in advance, enabling you to maintain your treatment program at your home, visiting us only every 3 months or so to examine your progress and receive your next sets of Invisalign aligners.
While the time length of your Invisalign treatment will depend on the severity of the misalignment, other details and your goals, Invisalign is generally faster than orthodontic treatments. This is because Invisalign aligners apply force all-around your teeth, as opposed to a focused individual spot tooth movement with traditional metal braces. This all-around force on all your teeth can provide faster overall movement, resulting in a speedier treatment to correct your smile. Most Invisalign treatments can be completed in the 12-18 month range, with mild cases requiring only about 6 months of treatment.
The cost of Invisalign treatments vary depending on several factors such as how complex the work is going to be (severity of misalignment), will there be additional dental work that is required prior to starting the Invisalign treatment?, and the length of the treatment. It helps that the Align Technology manufacturing plant that produces 200,000 unique Invisalign aligners every day is in fact in Mexico. While we will need to speak to you to understand your exact situation and goals to give you an approximate price range, we can assure you the cost of operating a state of the art dental clinic is considerably less in Nogales, Mexico than in Arizona. It’s worth noting Laser Dental Nogales features numerous highly trained dentists, orthodontists, and support staff, expertly trained and experienced and we offer Invisalign treatment at a significantly discounted rate from the costs in the United States.

Braces are needed for people with very large spacing problems, extreme deep bites, and bites needing large root movements (extractions). However most patients can be treated effectively with Invisalign. Invisalign is different from the metal braces and offers significant advantages.
