Maybe you wore braces as a teenager, and your teeth shifted back over the years. Maybe you never got the chance to fix them at all. Either way, going back to a mouth full of metal wires as an adult in Orlando feels like a step backward, not a solution.
Lumiere Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers Invisalign because adult patients want results that fit into a busy life, not around it. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place, and each tray is designed from a digital scan rather than a generic mold, so your treatment plan is built specifically around your bite. It pairs naturally with the rest of our cosmetic dentistry services for patients who want a fuller smile transformation, whether that means straighter teeth alone or a combination of treatments down the road.
Invisalign Straightens Your Smile with Digital Precision
Invisalign relies on a series of clear plastic trays, each one nudging your teeth a little closer to their ideal position. Instead of a single mold made from messy putty, we use an iTero digital scanner to capture a precise, three-dimensional image of your bite in just a few minutes.
That scan becomes the blueprint for your entire treatment plan, so you and your dentist can see a preview of your projected results before you ever wear your first tray. As your teeth move, you swap in a new aligner roughly every one to two weeks, with brief check-in visits along the way to track your progress.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign at Lumiere Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
Invisalign appeals to adults and image-conscious teens for reasons that go beyond appearance alone. The aligners are nearly invisible; they can be removed for meals and brushing, and there are no metal brackets to irritate your cheeks or trap food.
Choosing Invisalign over braces may offer you the following advantages:
- – A discreet appearance that most people will not notice during everyday conversation
- – Removable trays that make brushing, flossing, and eating easier than with braces
- – Smooth plastic edges that are generally more comfortable against your gums and cheeks
These advantages make Invisalign a popular starting point for patients who later ask about porcelain veneers or a full smile makeover once their teeth are properly aligned.
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
Your first visit begins with a conversation about your goals, followed by the digital scan that maps out your treatment plan. From there, most patients wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, and clean their teeth.
An overview of systematic reviews published through the National Library of Medicine found that clear aligner treatment is effective for mild to moderate misalignment. However, results can vary with more complex cases. That is one reason your treatment plan at Lumiere Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry is built around your specific bite rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Mehrshad Yousefi reviews each case personally, drawing on continuing education in clear aligner therapy and restorative dentistry to help set realistic expectations from your very first appointment.
Most Invisalign treatment plans run anywhere from several months to about a year and a half, depending on how much movement your teeth need. Throughout treatment, you will return for short visits so your dentist can confirm your teeth are tracking with the digital plan and issue your next set of aligners.
How to Pay for Your Invisalign Treatment
Cost is often the deciding factor when patients weigh Invisalign against other options, and it helps to understand what goes into that number before your first visit. Treatment cost typically depends on how much movement your teeth need, how long your plan runs, and how many aligners your case requires, so a minor correction generally costs less than a full arch realignment.
Many dental insurance plans now offer at least partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, though the amount varies by provider and plan. Our team can help you understand your coverage before treatment begins. For patients without insurance or with a plan that offers limited orthodontic benefits, we also offer financing options to help make treatment more manageable.

Invisalign FAQs
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length depends on case complexity. Mild alignment concerns can resolve in as few as six months. More involved cases involving significant crowding, spacing, or bite correction typically take 12 to 18 months. Dr. Yousefi gives you a projected timeline after your iTero scan appointment.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Most adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment concerns are good candidates. Severe bite issues, such as significant overbites, underbites, or open bites, may require a different approach. Dr. Yousefi evaluates your case at the consultation and recommends the treatment that will produce the best long-term outcome.
Can I see what my smile will look like before I start?
Yes. Lumière uses the iTero intraoral scanner to generate a digital model of your teeth and, in most cases, a projected outcome simulation before any commitment is made. You will have a clear picture of the expected result before treatment begins.
How many hours a day do I need to wear the aligners?
Invisalign aligners are designed to be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They are removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Consistent wear is the primary factor that keeps treatment on schedule.
Does Lumière offer financing for Invisalign?
Yes. We offer 0% financing for 24 months. Our team walks you through your insurance and financing options at the consultation so you have a complete cost picture before committing to treatment.
