For many people in Mililani and across Central Oʻahu, the dream is a straighter smile without anyone knowing they’re in treatment. Invisalign makes that possible. You can go to work, school, prom, or a job interview without metal brackets covering your smile. As an experienced orthodontic team and a Blue Diamond Invisalign Provider, Mililani Orthodontics has the credentials and case experience to plan your treatment for the best possible result.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners instead of fixed braces. You wear each set to gently move your teeth toward their final position, then switch to the next set as your smile progresses. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat and drink what you like and brush and floss normally, and with no metal to irritate your cheeks, most patients find them more comfortable than traditional braces.
Why Choose a Blue Diamond Invisalign Provider in Mililani?
Invisalign recognizes providers by experience and case volume, and Blue Diamond is among the highest designations awarded, a tier reached by only a small fraction of providers nationwide. For you, that means your treatment is planned and supervised by a team that has guided a high volume of Invisalign cases to successful results.
How Invisalign Works
Getting started is simple and comfortable:
- Free exam and digital scan. First, we work with you to determine what needs to be corrected. Instead of messy putty impressions, we capture your teeth with an iTero digital scanner, a quick, comfortable wand that builds a precise 3D model of your smile.
- Your custom plan. Using advanced 3D technology, we map out the exact movements your teeth will make and create a personalized series of aligners, as few as 10 or as many as 30, depending on your case.
- Wear and progress. You’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks, taking it out for eating, brushing, and flossing. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth gradually move into the final alignment prescribed by the doctor.
- Check-ins. Office visits are required approximately every ten to twelve weeks so we can confirm your progress and hand off your next sets.
Invisalign for Adults & Teens
Adults: Because of its cosmetic appeal, Invisalign is the most-requested option for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly, perfect for professionals and anyone who’d rather not wear metal braces.
Teens: Invisalign is also a great fit for teens with mostly permanent teeth. Teen aligners include a built-in compliance indicator that helps everyone keep track of wear time. Learn more on our Invisalign Teen page.
We also offer Angel Aligners as an additional in-office clear-aligner option for certain cases, your orthodontist will recommend the system that fits your smile best.
Clear Aligners vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Invisalign is an excellent choice for many smiles, but it isn’t right for everyone. Very complex bites sometimes respond better to braces, which apply more directed force. The best way to know is a professional evaluation. If braces turn out to be the better path, explore your options on our types of braces page, and either way, we’ll recommend the option that fits your case best.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Mililani?
Your cost depends on your case. In-house, no-interest monthly plans start around $200, and we file all insurance plans for you. See our Invisalign cost page for the full breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Blue Diamond Invisalign provider?
It’s one of the highest provider tiers in Invisalign awards, based on experience and the number of cases a practice has successfully treated. Choosing a Blue Diamond provider like Mililani Orthodontics means your treatment is planned by a highly experienced team.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients feel mild pressure for a day or two when they start a new set of aligners. That’s the gentle force moving your teeth. There’s no metal to rub or poke, so many people find Invisalign more comfortable than braces.
Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?
Yes. You simply remove your aligners to eat and drink, then brush and pop them back in. There are no food restrictions the way there are with braces.
Will Invisalign work for my case?
Invisalign treats a wide range of cases, from mild crowding to more involved bite issues. Some very complex cases do better with braces. A free exam is the only way to know for sure. We’ll give you a straight answer.
