Straighten your teeth discreetly with customized Invisalign treatment for teens and adults.
Honestly, Invisalign works for a much wider range of patients than most people realize. Here’s the thing — it’s not just for teenagers with mild crowding. It’s a clinically proven orthodontic system used to treat everything from simple spacing issues to complex bite corrections in adults, working professionals, college students, and teens alike.
This is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your smile. Here’s why patients from Centerville, Oakwood, Springboro, Kettering, and Greater Dayton trust us with their Invisalign treatment.
Our dental team has been serving the Centerville community for over four decades. We’ve treated hundreds of Invisalign cases and bring deep clinical expertise to every treatment plan.
No more messy impressions. Our iTero Element scanner creates precise 3D digital models of your teeth in minutes, enabling more accurate treatment planning and a comfortable experience.
Before you commit, we’ll show you a digital preview of your expected results. See your new smile before treatment even begins — only possible with our advanced smile design technology.
Every Invisalign case is custom-designed for your unique anatomy and goals. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches — your aligners are crafted specifically for your teeth.
We offer financing starting at just $99/month through CareCredit and Cherry, plus in-house payment options. We also accept most PPO insurance plans with orthodontic benefits.
We offer same-week consultations and flexible scheduling to fit your busy life. Invisalign check-ins are quick — typically every 6-8 weeks — so you spend less time in the dental chair.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and made from a patented BPA-free SmartTrack material that is both flexible and precise.
Here’s how it works: your treatment begins with a digital 3D scan of your teeth. Our software then maps out a precise movement plan, and a series of aligners is manufactured — each one slightly different from the last. You wear each set for about 1-2 weeks, and your teeth progressively shift toward the desired position.
The SmartTrack material used in Invisalign aligners is clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement, making treatment more predictable and often faster than older aligner systems. The aligners are trimmed to follow your natural gum line for maximum comfort.
Invisalign is more versatile than most patients expect. Our certified providers at Centerville Dental Center use Invisalign to treat a wide range of orthodontic conditions for patients across Centerville, Dayton, Kettering, and Springboro.
Crooked teeth are one of the most common reasons patients seek orthodontic treatment. Beyond aesthetics, misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Invisalign applies gentle, consistent pressure to rotate and reposition individual teeth. Treatment for mild to moderate crookedness typically takes 12-18 months, and the clear aligners make the entire process virtually undetectable to others.
Crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit properly, causing them to overlap, twist, or push against each other. This can trap food and plaque in difficult-to-reach areas, leading to decay and gum problems. Invisalign gradually creates space by moving teeth into proper alignment. Mild to moderate crowding is highly treatable with Invisalign, and our team will assess your specific case during your free consultation.
Gaps between teeth — also called diastema — can occur between any teeth but are most noticeable between the upper front teeth. Gaps can affect your confidence and may also create pockets where food gets trapped, increasing gum disease risk. Invisalign aligners apply targeted pressure to close gaps predictably and comfortably. Most gap cases are resolved within 6-12 months, depending on the size of the spacing.
An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. A small overbite is normal, but a deep overbite can cause jaw pain, wear on the lower teeth, and even gum damage. Invisalign uses precision attachments and specialized aligner movements to correct overbites by repositioning both the upper and lower teeth. Treating an overbite with Invisalign can significantly reduce long-term wear and jaw discomfort.
An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth protrude past the upper front teeth. This can make it difficult to chew and speak properly, and can cause uneven wear on your teeth. Invisalign can address mild to moderate underbites by moving the upper teeth forward and/or the lower teeth back. In more severe cases, Invisalign may be used in combination with other dental appliances. Our team will assess your bite during your consultation.
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside them when you bite down. This can happen on one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral). Crossbites can cause uneven wear, chipping, and jaw strain over time. Invisalign uses a combination of aligner movements and sometimes small attachments to correct crossbites effectively, preventing long-term damage to your teeth and jaw joints.
An open bite means your upper and lower teeth don’t make contact when you close your mouth. This can make it difficult to bite into food, affect speech, and put excessive pressure on the back teeth. Open bites can result from thumb-sucking habits, tongue thrusting, or skeletal factors. Invisalign uses vertical movements and precision attachments to bring the teeth into proper contact, improving both function and appearance.
Teeth that have shifted after previous braces or aligner treatment are a very common concern. Whether you stopped wearing your retainer or your teeth naturally drifted over time, Invisalign can get your smile back on track. Because Invisalign treatment is fully digital, we can plan precisely how much movement is needed to restore your previous results — often in a shorter treatment time than the original orthodontic work.

For the best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. Remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks as directed.
You’ll visit us every 6-8 weeks so we can monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and provide your next sets of aligners. These appointments are typically quick — 15-20 minutes.
Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive custom retainers to maintain your beautiful results. Wearing your retainer as directed ensures your teeth stay in their new positions for life.
One of the most exciting parts of starting Invisalign at Centerville Dental Center is our digital smile preview. Using the iTero Element scanner and Invisalign’s ClinCheck AI simulation technology; we can show you a realistic preview of what your smile will look like after treatment—before you commit to a single aligner.
How it works: Our iTero scanner captures a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in under 5 minutes—no messy putty impressions required. The AI-powered software then maps out your personalized treatment plan and renders a simulation of your final smile. You’ll see the expected position of every tooth, giving you complete confidence in your treatment before it begins.
This technology also allows us to plan your treatment with greater accuracy, meaning fewer refinements and a more predictable outcome. It’s one of the many reasons our patients from Centerville, Dayton, Beavercreek, and Washington Township choose us for their Invisalign treatment.

Our team will verify your insurance benefits before your consultation and provide a clear breakdown of your estimated out-of-pocket cost. We accept most major PPO insurance plans.
Here’s the thing — it’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. Adult Invisalign is one of the fastest-growing segments of orthodontic treatment, and for good reason. Clear aligners fit seamlessly into professional and social life in a way that metal braces simply cannot.
Whether you’re a working professional in Centerville, a parent in Springboro, or a retiree in Oakwood, Invisalign for adults offers a discreet, comfortable path to straighter teeth. Most of our adult patients report that colleagues and friends don’t even notice they’re undergoing treatment.
Adult Invisalign also addresses the unique concerns of older patients, including gum sensitivity, existing dental work, and the desire for faster treatment. Our experienced team tailors every plan to your specific needs.
Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for the unique needs of teenage patients. It includes blue compliance indicators that fade when the aligners are worn for the recommended 20-22 hours per day — giving parents peace of mind and teens accountability.
Teens can play sports, play instruments, and attend school events without the self-consciousness that often comes with metal braces. Invisalign Teen also includes up to 6 replacement aligners at no extra charge, in case any are lost or damaged.
Many of our teen patients from Centerville, Bellbrook, and Miamisburg have completed their Invisalign treatment with outstanding results — and a major boost to their confidence.
Treatment length varies based on the complexity of your case. Here’s a general guide to what to expect at each stage.
Ideal for patients with mild crowding, small gaps, or minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. Invisalign Lite is often used for these shorter cases.
The most common treatment length. Suitable for moderate crowding, spacing, and mild bite corrections. Most adult patients fall into this category.
For more complex cases involving significant crowding, bite corrections, or multiple tooth movements. Full Invisalign Comprehensive is used for these cases.
Reserved for the most complex orthodontic situations. These cases may involve significant bite correction, multiple refinement phases, and additional attachments.
Factors that affect treatment time: Severity of misalignment, compliance with wearing aligners 20-22 hours/day, age (adults may move slightly slower than teens), and the number of refinements needed.
Remove your aligners before every meal and snack. You can eat absolutely anything — no restrictions. Drink plain water with aligners in; remove them for coffee, tea, juice, alcohol, or any colored or sugary drinks to prevent staining and decay.
Remove your aligners before your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Rinse your mouth before reinserting. This keeps your aligners clear and protects your teeth from sugar and acid exposure.
Rinse aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them. Clean them gently with a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented soap. Never use hot water (it can warp the plastic) or colored toothpaste (it can stain).
Invisalign is perfect for travel. Pack your aligner case, a travel toothbrush, and your next set of aligners. If you’re crossing time zones, just maintain your 20-22 hour wear schedule regardless of local time.
Remove aligners for contact sports and wear a mouthguard. For non-contact sports, you can keep aligners in. Swimmers, runners, and gym-goers find Invisalign completely compatible with their active lifestyles.
We strongly recommend not smoking during Invisalign treatment. Smoking with aligners in will stain them yellow and can damage the plastic. If you do smoke, remove aligners first and brush your teeth before reinserting.
Weddings, photos, job interviews — you can remove aligners for short periods for special events. Just make sure to make up the time and maintain your daily wear schedule overall.
Most people won’t notice your aligners in social situations. They’re truly nearly invisible. Many patients report feeling more confident socially during treatment because they know their smile is actively improving.
We’ve answered the most common questions from our patients in Centerville, Dayton, Kettering, Springboro, and Greater Dayton.
Invisalign treatment at Centerville Dental Center typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on the complexity of your case. We currently offer $500 off comprehensive treatment and financing starting at $99/month. Many insurance plans with orthodontic benefits can reduce your out-of-pocket cost significantly.
Invisalign is generally much more comfortable than traditional braces. You may feel mild pressure or soreness for 1-2 days when you switch to a new set of aligners — this is normal and means the aligners are working. There are no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks or gums.
Treatment time varies by case complexity. Minor corrections can be completed in 6 months. Most adult cases take 12-18 months. Complex cases may take up to 24 months. Your exact timeline will be determined during your consultation using our digital treatment planning software.
Yes! Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenage patients. It includes blue compliance indicators that fade with wear (so parents can verify usage), and up to 6 free replacement aligners in case any are lost or damaged. Invisalign Teen is an excellent option for active teens who play sports or instruments.
Many PPO dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to Invisalign, just as they would for traditional braces. The lifetime orthodontic benefit is typically $1,000–$2,000. We’ll verify your benefits before your consultation at no charge. FSA and HSA funds can also be used for Invisalign.
For the vast majority of our patients, absolutely yes. Beyond the aesthetic improvement, straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing long-term risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also prevent jaw pain and uneven tooth wear. The confidence boost from a straight smile is something our patients consistently describe as life-changing.
You should remove your aligners before drinking coffee. Coffee can stain the clear plastic and the heat can potentially warp the aligners. Remove them, enjoy your coffee, rinse your mouth, and reinsert. The same applies to tea, red wine, and any other colored or hot beverages.
No — gum will stick to your aligners and can damage them. Remove your aligners before chewing gum, just as you would before eating any food. This keeps your aligners in good condition and ensures they continue to fit properly.
Yes! Many patients whiten their teeth during or after Invisalign treatment. You can use whitening toothpaste or whitening strips while in treatment. We recommend professional whitening after your Invisalign treatment is complete for the most dramatic and even results.
Contact our office right away. In most cases, we’ll advise you to move to the next set of aligners or go back to the previous set while a replacement is ordered. Invisalign Teen includes up to 6 free replacement aligners. For adult cases, replacement aligners can be ordered, though there may be a fee.
You’ll visit us every 6-8 weeks for progress check-ins. These appointments are typically brief — about 15-20 minutes — and allow us to monitor your progress, provide your next sets of aligners, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
For optimal results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. Remove them only to eat, drink (anything other than plain water), brush, and floss. Wearing them less than 20 hours per day will slow your treatment and may require additional aligners.
Yes, Invisalign can effectively treat mild to moderate overbites. Using precision attachments and specialized aligner movements, we can reposition both the upper and lower teeth to reduce the overbite. Severe skeletal overbites may require additional treatment in combination with Invisalign.
Yes, closing gaps is one of the most common and successful applications of Invisalign. The aligners apply targeted pressure to move teeth together and close spaces. Most gap cases are resolved within 6-12 months, depending on the size of the spacing.
After completing your Invisalign treatment, you’ll receive custom retainers to maintain your results. You’ll typically wear retainers full-time for the first few months, then transition to nighttime wear. Consistent retainer use is the key to keeping your beautiful new smile for life.
There is no upper age limit for Invisalign. Adults of all ages can benefit from clear aligner treatment. For younger patients, Invisalign is typically recommended once most permanent teeth have erupted, usually around age 12-13. Invisalign Teen is designed for adolescent patients.
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them. Clean them daily with a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented liquid soap. You can also use Invisalign cleaning crystals or retainer cleaning tablets. Never use hot water, colored toothpaste, or mouthwash, as these can damage or discolor the aligners.
Most patients adjust to speaking with aligners within a few days. You may notice a very slight lisp initially, but this resolves quickly as your tongue adapts. Reading aloud or practicing speaking at home for the first day or two can help speed up the adjustment.
Attachments are small, tooth-colored dots of composite resin bonded to specific teeth to give the aligners more grip and enable more complex tooth movements. Not every patient needs attachments, but when they are used, they are nearly invisible and are removed at the end of treatment.
Invisalign uses patented SmartTrack material, which is clinically proven to provide better control of tooth movement than generic aligner materials. The ClinCheck software provides precise digital treatment planning, and the iTero scanner integration allows for the most accurate fit. Invisalign has treated over 15 million patients worldwide — more than any other clear aligner brand.
For non-contact sports, you can wear your aligners during activity. For contact sports (football, basketball, martial arts, hockey), remove your aligners and wear a proper mouthguard. After the game, brush your teeth and reinsert your aligners.
Invisalign Lite is designed for minor corrections and includes up to 14 sets of aligners. Invisalign Comprehensive is for more complex cases and includes unlimited aligners and refinements. The right option for you will be determined during your consultation based on your specific treatment needs.
Both dentists and orthodontists can provide Invisalign treatment. At Centerville Dental Center, our experienced team is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive training in clear aligner therapy. We’ve treated hundreds of Invisalign cases and can handle the full range of complexity from simple to comprehensive cases.
We offer same-week consultations for new patients. After your consultation and digital scan, your custom aligners are typically ready within 2-3 weeks. So from your first phone call to wearing your first set of aligners, the process can take as little as 3-4 weeks.
If your teeth aren’t tracking as expected, we may recommend refinements — additional aligners designed to complete the planned movements. Refinements are a normal part of comprehensive Invisalign treatment and are included in the Invisalign Comprehensive package. The most common reason for needing refinements is not wearing aligners for the full 20-22 hours per day.

The quality of your Invisalign treatment depends significantly on the technology used to plan and monitor it. At Centerville Dental Center, we invest in the best.
Our iTero Element intraoral scanner creates a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in minutes—no messy impressions required. It also enables the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, which shows you a preview of your expected results before treatment begins.
Our digital radiography system uses up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays while producing clearer, more detailed images. This allows us to assess your bone structure and root positions as part of your Invisalign treatment planning.
Our intraoral camera lets you see exactly what we see — a high-definition view of your teeth and gums. This helps us explain your treatment plan clearly and track progress throughout your Invisalign journey.
Many people believe Invisalign is limited to simple cosmetic corrections. This was true of early versions, but modern Invisalign Comprehensive can treat a wide range of complex orthodontic cases including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and significant crowding.
Today’s Invisalign system, powered by SmartTrack material and AI-assisted ClinCheck planning, can treat the vast majority of orthodontic cases that traditional braces can — often with better comfort and aesthetics.
Many patients assume clear aligners cost significantly more than metal braces. In reality, the cost is comparable for most cases, and Invisalign is covered by most orthodontic insurance benefits at the same rate as traditional braces.
With our current $500 off offer, $99/month financing, and insurance benefits, Invisalign is accessible to most patients. Many find the total out-of-pocket cost is similar to or less than traditional braces when insurance is factored in.
There is no age limit for Invisalign. Many patients assume orthodontic treatment is only for children and teens. In fact, adults make up a growing percentage of Invisalign patients, and results are excellent at any age.
Adults often make the best Invisalign patients because they are highly compliant with wearing their aligners. We regularly treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond with outstanding results at Centerville Dental Center.
Patients often expect Invisalign to be as uncomfortable as metal braces. The reality is very different — there are no sharp brackets, no wire tightening appointments, and no emergency visits for broken hardware.
Most patients experience only mild pressure for 1-2 days when switching to a new aligner set. This is a sign the treatment is working. The smooth plastic is comfortable against your cheeks and gums throughout treatment.
