Invisalign
Crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth can make you feel self-conscious. They are also harder to clean, increasing your risk of decay.
Invisalign® is a discreet, removable, and comfortable alternative to braces that lets you straighten your teeth in 12-18 months.
Learn why so many teens and adults are choosing Invisalign treatment at Smile 360 in Austin, TX.
Comfort, Convenience, and Quick Results Why Invisalign Is Clearly the Best Choice
Removable Aligners
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for brushing, flossing, or meals. Throughout treatment, you can continue to enjoy your favorite crunchy foods without worrying about damaging your wires or brackets. Aligners also allow you to brush and floss normally so that you can maintain optimal oral health without braces getting in the way.
Comfortable Materials
The wires and brackets of traditional braces can irritate your lips, tongue, and the insides of your cheeks. Invisalign clear aligner trays are laser-cut to ensure no sharp edges. Each aligner is made using a smooth, BPA-free plastic to minimize irritation.
Shorter Timeline
While patients who choose braces typically wear them for 18 months to four years, Invisalign is designed to straighten your smile in 12-18 months. Dr. Vincent Ip uses PROPEL Excelleration™ technology during every case. PROPEL allows Dr. Ip to move the teeth into alignment much quicker. In some cases, it can cut treatment time in half.
Virtually Invisible
Often, teens and adults avoid orthodontics because they simply do not want to wear metal braces. Many patients choose Invisalign because it is incredibly discreet compared to traditional orthodontics. The clear aligner trays used for the Invisalign system allow you to continue your daily routine with confidence.
Does Invisalign Really Work? Yes!
How Invisalign Works 6 Steps to a Straighter Smile
A Straighter Smile in One Year? PROPEL Makes It Possible
During each regularly scheduled orthodontic appointment, Dr. Ip will treat the jawbone with PROPEL — a simple, three-step approach designed to speed up your orthodontic treatment. First, he will evaluate the treatment area. Then, he will thoroughly clean the site. Next, he will numb the area and create micro-osteoperforations, or tiny pinholes. By gently creating a series of tiny pinholes in the jawbone, our dentist can trigger a natural inflammatory response that accelerates the rate of tooth movement by over 60 percent.

Nancy Tang

The best dentist in town! I’ve been going here for years & got my Invisalign here as well.
Can It Really Work for Me?
Although braces are sometimes a better choice for patients with severe malocclusion, Invisalign can most likely work for you. If this is not the case, Dr. Ip can refer you to a trusted orthodontist with whom our Austin dental office has worked for over a decade.
Invisalign Does More Than Deliver a Beautiful Smile
More Reasons to Undergo Treatment
The benefits don't just end with a beautiful smile. By improving the alignment of your bite, you can also positively affect your oral and overall health by:
- Preventing premature wear and tear on your teeth
- Improving the cleanliness of your teeth
- Alleviating headaches that could be caused by malocclusion
This is especially true when you choose a highly qualified dentist like Dr. Ip. In practice since 2006 and with a prestigious status as an Invisalign Gold Plus Provider, Dr. Ip can provide dramatic results for teens and adults with various orthodontic issues.
Invisalign Treatment Sounds Great But Do I Qualify?
Dr. Ip can examine your smile and determine whether this treatment is right for you during a consultation at our Austin dental office. Generally, aligners can be used to straighten the teeth of patients with a range of alignment issues, including:
Aligners can correct cases where your lower teeth project past your upper teeth.
Crowding can make brushing and flossing more difficult, so orthodontic care is crucial in these cases.
If your upper teeth stick out too far past your lower teeth, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
Gaps in your smile can detract from your appearance, but aligners can correct this imperfection.
If your dental arches do not meet properly and leave space, our dentist can improve your bite.
If your dental arches do not line up correctly, causing overlapping teeth, Dr. Ip can help.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
At Smile 360 in Austin, you can expect the cost of treatment, including your complete set of aligners, to be around $5,000. The cost varies from patient to patient, and insurance often covers at least a portion of the treatment.
We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful smile. To minimize out-of-pocket expenses, we offer in-house, zero-percent financing options.

"You won’t be disappointed." Patients Look Forward to Their Visits
Morgan Donnelly
2023
I normally wouldn't think of the dentist as a family-like atmosphere, but that's what it feels like here! I've been coming here for a couple years and during each visit, every part of it goes smoothly. The staff seem to work really well together and it makes for a very comfortable, friendly, and personalized experience. They are also quick and knowledgeable, so I never end up waiting to be seen or have my questions answered. Definitely recommend this place!

My search for a dentist is finally over! The office staff, my dental hygienist, and Dr. Ip were all amazing. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The level of care they provided, from the X-rays to the cleaning, and finally Dr. Ip’s recommendations, was beyond thorough and exceeded my expectations. Can’t believe I’m about to write this but I’m actually looking forward to going back. I’ve been to a couple of dentists that absolutely wasted my time. Not Smile 360. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment- you won’t be disappointed.

Invisalign Alternatives
/
If you are not a good candidate for Invisalign aligners, there are many alternatives available. For minor misalignment that does not affect your dental health, veneers or other cosmetic dentistry procedures might be ideal. For more serious malocclusion, braces could be the optimal choice. We can discuss all your treatment options during a consultation at our Austin office.
Invisalign FAQ Answers to Common Questions
Does insurance cover Invisalign aligners?
Many dental insurance plans will cover Invisalign work much like traditional braces. The percentage of coverage will depend on your insurance provider. Our team can check with your provider directly for more information. Keep in mind that orthodontics is sometimes covered by your health insurance rather than your dental plan.What happens if I don't wear my aligners for 20-22 hours a day?
If you don't wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 20 hours a day, it can result in delayed results and greater discomfort when putting on the next set of clear aligners. The custom treatment plan assumes patients will wear their aligners as directed.Can I drink with my Invisalign aligners on?
You can drink cold or cool water while wearing your Invisalign aligners. You should remove your clear aligners when you drink any other kind of beverage. Colored beverages can stain the clear aligners, and sugary beverages increase the risk of tooth decay. Warm and hot beverages may warp your Invisalign aligners, reducing their effectiveness.Could my teeth move back after Invisalign treatment?
Yes. Much like braces, your teeth can shift out of position without the use of a retainer. Once your Invisalign work is completed, the team at our practice can create a retainer that will help maintain the final results of treatment. In other cases, you will simply wear your final set of aligners at night.Do Invisalign aligners make your teeth yellow?
No, Invisalign aligners will not turn your teeth yellow. However, residue from foods that get on your teeth can cause tooth discoloration and may stain the clear aligner. The same is true with smoking and the use of tobacco products during treatment. It's important to remove your Invisalign aligners when eating or drinking, practice good oral hygiene, and keep your clear aligners clean."Excellent Service and Care" Here for Patients Throughout Austin, TX
