Invisalign® Clear Aligners
A straighter smile for as low as $188 per month.*
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
The Treatment Process
Invisalign Treatment starts with a complimentary consultation in our office. We will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
What Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign in Abilene is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Whether your smile needs minor adjustments or more involved correction, clear aligners can often deliver the results you’re looking for without the hassle of traditional braces.
Common issues Invisalign can treat include:
- Crowded teeth: When there isn’t enough space in your jaw for teeth to align properly, crowding can make cleaning difficult and affect your overall bite.
- Gapped teeth: Extra space between teeth can lead to gum problems and self-consciousness about your smile.
- Overbite: When your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth too far, it can cause wear on tooth enamel and jaw discomfort.
- Underbite: When lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth, chewing and speaking can be affected.
- Crossbite: When upper and lower teeth don’t align side to side correctly, uneven wear and jaw strain can follow.
- Open bite: When upper and lower teeth don’t make contact when your mouth is closed, it can interfere with chewing and speech.
Not every case is the same, and Dr. Aker will assess your smile during your complimentary consultation to determine whether Invisalign is the right fit for your specific needs.

Additional Invisalign® FAQs
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break.
In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to the cost of braces. Your doctor will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need. There are several options to make Invisalign treatment more affordable for you, from using insurance and tax-free dollars to a monthly payment plan and third party financing with Care Credit.
Yes, wearing a retainer after Invisalign helps keep your teeth in the correct positioning and prevents them from shifting back to their original state. Fortunately, it’s only necessary to wear retainers at night while asleep, as opposed to all day. While there are many different types of retainers, we recommend Vivera® retainers. Vivera retainers are virtually invisible and made from a proprietary material 30% stronger than other leading clear retainer materials, which helps you keep your new smile.
Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack created exclusively for Invisalign Treatment.
