About Invisalign
At Edmonds Orthodontics, we’re excited to be your premier choice for Invisalign treatment in Edmonds, WA. Our state-of-the-art, personalized approach to orthodontic care focuses on more than just achieving straighter teeth — it’s about giving you a more confident smile.
With Invisalign, we offer a modern alternative to traditional braces. Using clear aligners, we discreetly and effectively correct misaligned teeth, allowing you to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted without compromising your lifestyle. Let us help you on your journey to a beautiful, confident smile.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners, crafted by Align Technology, provide a nearly invisible approach to straightening teeth. Unlike conventional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually undetectable. This unique flexibility allows you to maintain your oral hygiene practices through regular brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of dental complications.
Invisalign treatment not only aligns your teeth but does so with a level of comfort and convenience that traditional braces cannot match. There’s no dealing with metal brackets or wires, reducing the tooth soreness typically associated with conventional braces. Furthermore, the clear aligner system allows for a more predictable treatment time, often with fewer visits to the orthodontist.
Your Treatment Journey With Invisalign
The Invisalign system employs a series of custom aligners created uniquely for your teeth. Over the treatment period, these aligners make small movements to reposition your teeth to the desired position. Every 7 to 14 days, on average, you will transition to a new aligner, continuing the journey towards straighter teeth under the expert guidance of our orthodontists.
Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our office, where we’ll discuss your treatment plan and answer any questions you may have. The treatment time varies from patient to patient, but on average lasts about 12 to 24 months. Throughout the treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene and regular check-ins with your orthodontist ensures the best results.

Invisalign for Kids
At Edmonds Orthodontics, we’re excited to offer Invisalign First, a specially designed clear aligner treatment just for kids. Whether your child is showing early signs of crowding, spacing, or bite issues, Invisalign clear aligners can be a comfortable, convenient, and kid-friendly way to guide their growing smile.
Early orthodontic treatment plays a big role in setting the stage for healthier teeth and jaws, and Invisalign for kids helps us do just that—without the need for traditional braces.
What is Early Orthodontic Treatment?
Sometimes, orthodontic issues start to show up as early as age six or seven, before all the permanent teeth come in. This is the perfect time to identify problems like:
- Crowding or spacing
- Crossbites, underbites, or overbites
- Narrow dental arches
- Early loss of baby teeth
By starting early treatment (also called Phase One treatment), we can help guide jaw development, create more room for incoming permanent teeth, and even reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on. Invisalign First is designed specifically for growing smiles, giving kids a more comfortable option to start their orthodontic journey.
How Does Invisalign for Kids Work?
Just like Invisalign for teens and adults, Invisalign for kids uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gently guide the teeth into better alignment. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your child’s smile and designed to gradually improve their bite and spacing.
We also monitor your child’s progress using our advanced technology, including DentalMonitoring, which allows us to track their treatment remotely between visits.
Invisalign First is a great option for kids who:
- Have early signs of crowding or spacing
- Have developing bite issues
- Need a gentle, flexible treatment option
- Prefer something more comfortable and less noticeable than traditional braces
During your child’s consultation, our experienced orthodontists will assess their smile, discuss your goals, and recommend whether Invisalign First or another form of early treatment would work best.
With Invisalign for kids, early treatment doesn’t have to mean metal braces. Whether your child needs minor corrections or more comprehensive care, Invisalign First can help create a strong foundation for a beautiful, healthy smile.
Invisalign For Teens
At Edmonds Orthodontics, we know teens want to feel confident about their smile — not just after treatment, but during it too! That’s why Invisalign Teen is such a popular option. These clear, removable aligners give teens the freedom to straighten their teeth without metal brackets and wires, all while still enjoying their favorite foods and activities.
What Makes Invisalign Teen Different?
Invisalign Teen works just like Invisalign for adults — using a series of custom, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into place. But Invisalign Teen comes with a few special features designed just for growing smiles and busy teen lifestyles:
- Room for New Teeth: Teens’ mouths are still developing, and Invisalign Teen aligners are specially designed to accommodate incoming permanent teeth, like second molars. This flexibility ensures treatment keeps up with your teen’s natural growth.
- Built-In Wear Indicators: Each aligner has a small blue dot wear indicator that gradually fades as the aligner is worn. This helps parents (and teens!) keep track of how often the aligners are being worn—a great way to stay on track with treatment.
- Replacement Aligners: We know life happens, and teens are busy. That’s why Invisalign Teen comes with a few extra replacement aligners—just in case one gets lost or accidentally thrown away.
Why Teens (and Parents) Love Invisalign Teen
For Teens:
- Virtually Invisible: No brackets or wires in yearbook photos or selfies
- More Freedom: No food restrictions; just remove aligners to eat
- Comfortable Fit: Smooth plastic means no poking wires or brackets
- Great For Sports & Activities: No worries about broken brackets during practice
For Parents:
- Easy to monitor progress with blue wear indicators
- Fewer emergency visits compared to braces (no broken brackets or loose wires)
- Convenient remote monitoring available with DentalMonitoring (for fewer office visits)
- Effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues — from simple spacing to more complex bite problems
Is Invisalign Teen Right for Your Teen?
Most teens who need orthodontic treatment are great candidates for Invisalign Teen. During your consultation, our orthodontists will evaluate your teen’s smile and help you decide whether Invisalign Teen or another treatment option would be the best fit.
Invisalign Teen offers the best of both worlds — a straighter smile and the freedom to live life without the hassle of braces.
Invisalign for Adults
It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted! At Edmonds Orthodontics, we know that adults want effective orthodontic treatment without the look and feel of traditional braces. That’s why Invisalign is such a popular choice for our adult patients. These clear, removable aligners fit seamlessly into your busy life — whether you’re at work, out with friends, or simply enjoying everyday life.
Orthodontic care isn’t just for kids and teens. More adults than ever are choosing Invisalign to improve their smiles and oral health, and with good reason:
- Discreet Treatment: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.
- Convenient & Removable: Take your aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss — no food restrictions!
- Comfortable Fit: No metal brackets or wires, meaning less irritation to your gums and cheeks.
- Works With Your Lifestyle: Whether you’re giving a presentation at work or attending a special event, you can feel confident wearing Invisalign.
Orthodontic Treatment at Any Age
There are many reasons adults choose orthodontic treatment. Even if you had braces as a teen, teeth can shift over time due to aging, injury, or other factors. Straightening your teeth as an adult can:
- Improve your oral health by making teeth easier to clean
- Correct bite issues that may be causing discomfort or uneven wear
- Boost your confidence with a straighter, more attractive smile
- Prevent future dental problems caused by crowding or misalignment
With Invisalign, you can achieve these benefits without disrupting your daily routine.
What to Expect with Invisalign Treatment
Your Invisalign journey starts with a digital scan using our iTero 3D scanner — no messy impressions needed! From there, we’ll create a custom treatment plan, mapping out how your teeth will move with each aligner set.
Most adults wear Invisalign for about 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on your unique needs. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1 to 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. For the best results, we recommend wearing your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Convenient Care Designed for Busy Adults
At Edmonds Orthodontics, we understand that life gets busy. That’s why we also offer remote monitoring options using DentalMonitoring, which allows you to check in with us from the comfort of home. Fewer office visits, same high-quality care!
Whether you want to correct long-standing alignment issues or simply fine-tune your smile, Invisalign for adults offers a clear, comfortable path to a healthier, more confident you.
