Invisalign Clear Braces at Smile Studios in Redmond
Have you ever wished you had straighter or less crowded teeth? Maybe you already had braces, but lost your retainers and your teeth are misaligned again. Have you been told you have an overbite, or underbite?
We at Smile Studios dental clinic in Redmond, WA, are proud to offer Invisalign clear braces to our patients to help straighten teeth, fix an overbite or underbite, minimize the gaps in between your teeth. Dr. Tina and her team are local experts in Invisalign clear braces in the Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Seattle Eastside area.
When people come in to talk about Invisalign, almost all of them know that Invisalign provides an aesthetic transparent alternative to braces. There are a few questions that almost everyone asks.
During your consultation, we’ll take a look at your situation and provide a more personalized timeframe on how long your treatments going to take. On average, most of our cases are completed in 10 to 12 months for the majority of our patients.
The fee for your case depends on your personal situation and also whether you have insurance coverage. Our fees are among the lowest in our area, and the reason is because of our platinum status, which allows us to have a reduced lab cost and we pass those savings on to you. The platinum status means that we do over 130 cases of Invisalign each year. In addition, we also provide payment plans, which can create really low, affordable monthly payments.
The reality is we have a lot of patients that travel a lot for long periods of times, and we also have patients that move occasionally. We’re able to easily accommodate these patients through virtual care. We can have patients take pictures whenever they change their aligners and simply upload those photos to an app and we can review them online.
And the answer is you’ll probably feel some pressure during certain points in your treatment. The pain is much, much less than with traditional braces, and it can usually be managed with simply taking Ibuprofen or Tylenol.

This patient had a cant (slant) to their smile and minor crowding. After Invisalign treatment, she has a beautifully aligned smile.

Invisalign® clear braces with Dr. Tina Subherwal
What are Invisalign® braces?
Hi, my name is Dr. Tina Subherwal from Smile Studios, and I’m going to talk about Invisalign® Clear Braces.
Invisalign clear braces are a system to straighten your teeth. It uses clear aligners to move your teeth into the perfect position consistently.
What is the process of treatment?
First, we take impressions of your teeth and feed them into our software to align them to where your teeth would be if they were perfectly straight.
The treatment is broken down into small increments, which would each have a set of aligners.
Each set of aligners will slowly move your teeth into position while you change the aligners every 1- 2 weeks.
Every new aligner you put on will feel a little tight at first but get more comfortable over the next couple of days.
What are the benefits of Invisalign®?
Patients choose Invisalign® because it is clear and not bulky like traditional braces. You can remove the aligners to eat and clean your teeth.
They are much more comfortable and convenient and an awesome alternative to traditional braces.

FAQs
What is Invisalign®, and how does it work?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment. It uses a series of custom oral appliances to reposition the teeth. The appliances, or aligners, are made from a smooth, flexible, and transparent advanced plastic. They can easily be taken in and out of your mouth. When worn as directed daily, Invisalign® aligners are an effective alternative to conventional braces to fix crowded, crooked, gapped, unevenly spaced teeth and bite problems. The aligners place consistent pressure on the teeth to support their movement. They are also highly cosmetic and comfortable.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for Invisalign®?
All treatments start by scheduling a consultation at our office. During your visit, Dr. Subherwal will evaluate your teeth and bite. She will also discuss your concerns and personal preferences with you. Since Invisalign® is a high-tech approach, she can even show you how your teeth will be repositioned and look after treatment is done during your consultation.
Can I take out my aligners before going to bed?
No. Failure to wear the aligners at all times (except when eating and cleaning your teeth and aligner trays) can delay progress and affect your treatment outcomes and experience. Keep them in your mouth even while you are asleep. They are lightweight and easy to adjust, so you’ll forget you wear them!
How often should I switch to a new set of aligners?
All Invisalign® treatment plans require a series of aligner trays. Each tray or appliance corresponds with a different step in your unique plan. So, it is essential to wear the aligners in the correct sequence. Each tray is typically worn for one to two weeks. Your doctor will advise on the correct “wear time” for you.
Will my aligners stain or discolor over time?
With proper care, your aligners should not stain or warp. It is important to refrain from drinking staining beverages while your aligners are in, and to also clean your trays properly throughout treatment. We can advise on proper cleaning techniques and products. Good care also helps to minimize the risk of bacteria developing on your appliances, which promotes decay and disease.
Can you treat my stained teeth at the same time?
Yes! Invisalign® uses a trusted professional whitening system by Opalescence™. This clinically proven, safe, and effective system is designed for the aligners or your Invisalign® Vivera™ retainers. So, you can correct gaps and other spacing issues and get dazzling, whiter teeth along the way!
Is a retainer necessary after treatment?
Retainers are important to maintain the results from Invisalign® treatment. Invisalign’s proprietary Vivera™ retainers are generally worn “full time” at first to prevent relapse or teeth from shifting back into their pre-treatment positions. Then, Dr. Subherwal can customize treatment to gradually reduce the amount of time your retainers are worn. You may only need to wear them each night to keep your teeth in the right place to support oral health and an attractive smile.
