If you would like a straighter smile without traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners may be a comfortable option worth exploring. At Lake Magdalene Dental on N Florida Ave, Dr. Mateen Sheikh helps patients throughout Lake Magdalene and the surrounding communities move their teeth gradually using a series of clear, custom-fitted trays. Our family-owned, independent practice has earned a 5.0-star Google rating from more than 210 patients, and we take a gentle, unhurried approach so you always understand each step of your treatment.
Invisalign uses a set of smooth, removable plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner is designed to shift your teeth a small amount, and you move to the next tray in the series every week or two as directed. Because the aligners are clear and removable, many patients find them convenient for everyday life, and you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally.
Clear aligners can help with a range of concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps, and certain bite issues. They are not right for every situation, so an in-person evaluation is the best way to know whether aligners or another orthodontic approach fits your goals. Keeping your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment matters too, since well-aligned teeth can be easier to clean. You can learn more about caring for your teeth from the ADA’s MouthHealthy resource, and general dental health guidance is available from MedlinePlus.
A typical local range for clear aligner treatment is about $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the complexity of your case. Because every smile is different, Dr. Sheikh reviews your exact needs and provides a clear estimate at your consultation before any treatment begins.

Progress & Follow-Up
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment length varies from person to person based on how much movement your teeth need. Dr. Sheikh will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation once he has evaluated your smile.
Are clear aligners comfortable to wear?
Most patients find the smooth trays comfortable. It is normal to feel some pressure when you start a new aligner, which usually eases within a day or two as your teeth adjust.
Do I have to wear the aligners all the time?
For the best results, aligners are generally worn most of the day and night and removed only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Consistent wear helps keep your treatment on track.
