Our board-certified smile doctors have been straightening smiles across the Valley of the Sun for decades, and we're ready to help you start the smile of your dreams today.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. It's an FDA-cleared alternative to metal brackets and wires, designed to be nearly invisible and fully removable. You wear each set for 20-22 hours a day, swapping to the next in the series as your smile transforms into something you'll be proud to show off.
At Serrano Orthodontics in Phoenix, we use Invisalign to treat everything from mild crowding and spacing to more complex bite issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Because the aligners are smooth, removable, and virtually undetectable, they're a popular treatment option at our Phoenix office. Patients like how easily the aligners fit into daily routines without drawing attention.
Benefits of Invisalign in Phoenix
Phoenix patients choose clear aligners because they fit real life. Whether you're a busy parent, a professional presenting at work, or a teen heading to prom, Invisalign lets you keep smiling with confidence while your teeth move into place.
Here's what makes Phoenix Invisalign a popular choice:
- Nearly invisible. Ideal for Phoenix professionals, college students, and teens who'd rather not advertise their treatment.
- Fully removable. Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. No food restrictions.
- Smooth and comfortable. No wire pokes, no bracket irritation, no emergency repairs.
- Fewer office visits. Progress checks typically happen every 8-12 weeks.
- Predictable timeline. Many cases finish in 12-18 months.
- Better oral hygiene. Because you can brush and floss normally, you lower your risk of cavities and gum issues during treatment.

The Invisalign Process at Serrano Orthodontics
Starting Invisalign at Serrano Orthodontics is simple, modern, and built around your comfort. Dr. Paul Serrano and Dr. Andrew Serrano personally oversee every treatment plan from the first scan to your final retainer, so you always know who's guiding your care.
Here's what to expect, step by step:
- Free consult and 3D digital scan. Your first visit includes a complimentary exam and a quick, comfortable digital scan of your teeth. No messy impressions, no gooey trays.
- Custom treatment plan with before/after preview. We'll walk you through a 3D simulation showing how your smile will move from where it is today to your final result.
- Receive your first aligners and attachments. When your custom aligners arrive, we'll place small tooth-colored attachments if needed. These help the aligners grip and guide your teeth more precisely.
- Switch aligners every 1-2 weeks. You'll change to a new set on the schedule your smile doctor recommends. Each set gently moves your teeth a little closer to the goal.
- Progress checks every 8-12 weeks. Short visits to our Phoenix office let us confirm everything is tracking correctly and hand off your next sets of aligners.
- Custom retainers to protect your results. Once your teeth reach their final positions, custom retainers keep your new smile stable for the long haul.
The whole experience is built to feel smooth from day one, with short wait times and a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. From check-in to checkout, every detail is set up to keep your treatment easy to manage.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Most teens and adults are candidates for Invisalign. Clear aligners can correct crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, including many cases that were once considered too complex for aligner treatment. The best candidates are patients committed to wearing their aligners 20-22 hours per day.
Invisalign works well for:
- Teens with fully erupted permanent teeth
- Adults of any age, including those who had braces as kids and saw teeth shift
- Patients with mild to moderately complex bite issues
- Anyone who wants a discreet, removable option
More complex cases may still qualify with the help of attachments, elastics, or hybrid approaches. The only way to know for sure is a free candidacy evaluation with our board-certified orthodontists in Phoenix. During that visit, we'll review your bite, look at your goals, and tell you honestly whether Invisalign is the right fit for you.

Phoenix Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get Invisalign from a dentist or orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who completed additional years of training focused specifically on tooth movement and bite correction. Choosing a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Paul Serrano or Dr. Andrew Serrano means your treatment is overseen by an expert who diagnoses and plans tooth movement every single day. That specialty focus often translates into more predictable outcomes and shorter treatment times.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign causes mild pressure when you switch to a new aligner, usually for the first day or two, which is a sign your teeth are moving. Most patients describe it as awareness rather than discomfort. Because there are no wires or brackets, you won't deal with pokes, cuts, or emergency repairs that can come with metal braces.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most Phoenix Invisalign cases finish in 12-18 months, though simpler cases can wrap up in as little as 6 months and complex cases may take longer. Your consistency matters most. Wearing your aligners 20-22 hours a day keeps you on schedule and helps you finish on time.
