You want straighter teeth, but metal brackets and wires don’t fit your lifestyle. Maybe you’re a professional presenting to clients along the Price Road Corridor and visible braces feel out of place. Maybe your teen at Hamilton High wants a confident smile for senior photos without the look of traditional orthodontics. Or maybe you’ve been putting off straightening your teeth for years because braces always seemed like too much of a commitment.
Invisalign clear aligners offer a different path. At Fountains Dental Care, we help Chandler adults and teens achieve straighter smiles using a series of clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and designed to fit into your daily routine. Our experienced cosmetic dentists provide Invisalign treatment from our Chandler office in the 85248, guiding you from consultation through your final smile.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the sequence. Over the course of treatment, your teeth move incrementally until they reach their final, correct positions.
The aligners are made from a smooth, BPA-free thermoplastic material called SmartTrack, designed specifically for Invisalign treatment. They fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible when worn. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them during conversation, in photos, or at meetings. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are completely removable, so you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally.
Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without anyone knowing you’re in treatment. This matters for Chandler professionals, active adults, and image-conscious teens who don’t want metal braces affecting their confidence during the treatment period.
You remove your aligners to eat, which means no food restrictions. Enjoy everything from corn on the cob at a Chandler backyard barbecue to popcorn at Harkins. You also brush and floss normally, maintaining better oral hygiene than patients with traditional braces who struggle to clean around brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic with no metal brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums. While you’ll feel gentle pressure each time you switch to a new set (that’s the teeth moving), the overall experience is significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.
Invisalign typically requires check-in appointments every six to eight weeks rather than the monthly adjustments traditional braces demand. For busy Chandler families juggling work, school events at Chandler Unified, and weekend activities, fewer appointments means less time spent in the dental chair.
Before treatment begins, we map out your entire treatment plan digitally so you can see a preview of how your teeth will move at each stage and what your final result will look like. There are no surprises, just a clear path from your current smile to your goal.
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment issues for both adults and teens. During your consultation at Fountains Dental Care, we evaluate your teeth and discuss whether Invisalign is the right solution for your specific case.
Crowded teeth. When teeth overlap or are pushed together, Invisalign gradually creates space and aligns them into proper position.
Gaps between teeth. Spacing issues that affect appearance and can trap food are corrected as aligners guide teeth closer together.
Overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Invisalign can correct mild to moderate bite alignment issues that affect chewing, speech, and long-term tooth wear.
General misalignment. Teeth that are slightly rotated, tilted, or out of position can be moved into alignment without brackets or wires.
Many Chandler adults who skipped orthodontic treatment as teenagers choose Invisalign because it fits into a professional lifestyle without the look of traditional braces. Treatment is discreet, efficient, and doesn’t interrupt your daily routine.
Invisalign is a popular choice for teens who want straight teeth without the social impact of metal braces. The aligners are removable for sports, band instruments, and school photos. We monitor compliance closely and schedule regular check-ins to keep treatment on track.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. Any existing issues like cavities or gum disease should be addressed through general dentistry before starting Invisalign. Using digital scanning technology, we create a precise 3D model of your teeth and map out your treatment plan, showing you a digital preview of your expected results before you commit to treatment.
Based on your digital treatment plan, a series of custom aligners is fabricated specifically for your teeth. Each set represents the next stage of movement. You receive several sets at a time so you can progress through them at home without needing to visit our office for every change.
You wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Every one to two weeks you switch to the next set in the sequence. Check-in appointments at our Chandler office are typically every six to eight weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
Once treatment is complete, we fit you with a retainer to maintain your new alignment. Retainers prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back toward their original positions, protecting the investment you made in your smile.
Invisalign results depend on the provider. At Fountains Dental Care, our three experienced dentists bring the precision and personal attention that quality orthodontic outcomes require.
Dr. Nick Mellum specializes in cosmetic treatments and advanced technology, with continuing education at the SPEAR Institute in Scottsdale. His expertise in digital treatment planning and same-day CEREC restorations translates directly into precise Invisalign case management. Dr. Eric Kerbs brings over 25 years of hands-on clinical experience, providing the depth of knowledge to handle complex alignment cases. Dr. Julie Do (DMD, Arizona School of Dentistry) brings a gentle, patient-focused approach that puts teens and anxious patients at ease.
Our Chandler office uses digital scanning to create your treatment plan, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. You see a preview of your final results before treatment begins, and we monitor every stage to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. Visit our smiles gallery to see patient results.
Invisalign costs vary depending on the complexity and duration of your case. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign the same way they cover traditional braces, though coverage varies. We recommend contacting our office to verify your benefits. During your consultation, we provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss payment options.
Most Invisalign cases take 12 to 18 months to complete. Some patients with minor alignment issues finish sooner, while more complex cases may take longer. We provide a specific timeline estimate during your consultation based on your digital treatment plan.
You’ll feel mild pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, which is a sign your teeth are moving. This typically lasts one to two days per set and is much less uncomfortable than traditional braces adjustments. Most Chandler patients describe it as slight tightness, not pain.
Yes. You remove your aligners to eat, so there are no food restrictions. Enjoy everything you normally would. Just brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to prevent staining.
Typically every six to eight weeks for a check-in. These appointments are brief. We monitor your progress, make any adjustments, and give you your next sets of aligners.
For mild to moderate alignment issues, Invisalign delivers results comparable to traditional braces. It effectively treats crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Severe orthodontic cases may require traditional braces, and we’ll give you an honest assessment during your consultation.
Yes. Invisalign is a popular option for teens who want to straighten their teeth without visible metal braces. The aligners are removable for sports, instruments, and school photos. We monitor teen compliance closely to ensure treatment stays on track.
