Understanding Invisalign

Invisalign Clear Aligners in Nashville

You've wanted straighter teeth for years, but metal braces held you back. Maybe you're a musician on stage, a healthcare professional seeing patients, an executive in client meetings, or a parent at school events. Invisalign in West Nashville straightens your teeth without the look or hassle of traditional braces. Nations Dental Studio is a top-rated cosmetic dentistry in Nashville, serving families and professionals throughout The Nations, Sylvan Park, Belle Meade, and Green Hills.

Invisalign uses custom-made plastic trays to shift your teeth into position. Unlike metal brackets and wires, these clear aligners are nearly invisible. You wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks, then move to the next in the series. Each one applies gentle pressure to specific teeth, following a treatment plan mapped with 3D imaging. The aligners are removable, so you eat, drink, brush, and floss normally throughout treatment.

At Nations Dental Studio, we've straightened hundreds of smiles with Invisalign. Whether you have crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues, Invisalign works for a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Most patients finish in 12-18 months, though timelines vary. The result: a straighter, healthier smile without the dietary restrictions or discomfort of traditional braces.

The Benefits

Why Patients Choose Invisalign

1

Nearly Invisible

The clear aligners blend in. Most people won't notice you're straightening your teeth unless you tell them.

2

Removable for Eating

Take them out before meals. Eat what you want, brush your teeth, put them back in. No trapped food, no complicated cleaning.

3

Comfortable Fit

Smooth plastic with no sharp edges, brackets, or wires. No painful adjustments or emergency visits for broken hardware. Most patients feel only gentle pressure when switching to a new aligner.

4

Fewer Office Visits

Aligners come in sets and don't need manual adjustments, so you visit less often than with traditional braces. Most patients come in every 4-8 weeks for progress checks.

5

See Your Results First

3D imaging shows you a preview of your treatment outcome before you start. You'll see how your teeth will move, how long it will take, and what your final smile looks like.

6

Treats Many Orthodontic Issues

Invisalign addresses crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Not right for every complex case, but the technology now treats many conditions that once required traditional braces.

Your Invisalign Journey

What to Expect from Consultation to Results

Before Your Appointment

  • Think about what you want to change about your teeth

  • Write down questions about treatment time, cost, or the process

  • Check your dental insurance for orthodontic coverage

During Your Visit

1
Consultation

Your dentist examines your teeth, bite, and oral health to see if Invisalign fits your needs. We discuss your goals, answer questions, and review realistic timelines.

2
iTero Digital Scanning

We use the iTero scanner to create precise 3D impressions of your teeth. No messy putty. The scans capture every detail for your treatment plan and show you a preview of your future smile.

3
Treatment Plan Development

Using specialized software, we map the exact movements your teeth will make. You see a digital simulation of your smile from start to finish, with projected treatment time.

4
Receiving Your Aligners

When your custom aligners arrive, you return to get your first sets with instructions. We check the fit, show you how to insert and remove them, and go over care guidelines. You take several sets home to reduce office visits.

5
Progress Monitoring

You visit every 4-8 weeks. We check that teeth are moving as planned and give you your next aligner sets. These brief appointments let us adjust if needed to keep treatment on track.

6
Refinements if Needed

Near the end of treatment, we check whether any teeth need fine-tuning. If so, we create refinement aligners at no extra charge. Refinements are included in your treatment plan.

After Treatment

  • Wear your retainer as directed to keep your teeth in place. One set is included—worn full-time at first, then nights only

  • Continue regular cleanings and checkups to keep your straightened teeth healthy

  • Return for periodic retainer checks to ensure proper fit and replace as needed

Your Questions Answered

Common Questions About Invisalign

How much does Invisalign cost in Nashville?

At Nations Dental Studio, all-inclusive Invisalign treatment costs $5,000. This covers your consultation, X-rays, 3D iTero scans, all aligners, refinements if needed, one set of retainers, and follow-up visits. Many insurance plans cover Invisalign like traditional braces, typically 50% up to a lifetime orthodontic maximum. We partner with Sunbit for flexible financing and accept FSA/HSA. We verify your benefits and give you a clear cost breakdown at your consultation. Read our detailed cost guide for more on Nashville Invisalign pricing, insurance tips, and financing.

How long does Invisalign take?

Most patients finish in 12-18 months. Simple spacing or mild crowding may take 6-9 months. Complex bite corrections can take 18-24 months. Treatment time depends on how far your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear your aligners. Wear them 20-22 hours daily to stay on schedule.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits cover Invisalign like traditional braces—typically 50% up to a lifetime maximum (often $1,000-$2,000). Coverage depends on your plan and remaining benefits. Our team verifies your insurance, submits claims for you, and helps you understand your out-of-pocket costs.

Is Invisalign worth it?

Most patients say yes. The aligners are nearly invisible, so you straighten teeth without feeling self-conscious. They're removable, so you eat what you want and clean your teeth normally. Beyond looks, straighter teeth are easier to clean and can improve bite function. Patients report high satisfaction with both the process and the results.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses custom clear plastic aligners that move your teeth into position. You wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks. It applies gentle pressure to specific teeth. As you progress through the series, your teeth shift according to a treatment plan mapped with 3D imaging. Remove them to eat and clean. Wear them 20-22 hours daily for best results.

Can Invisalign fix an overbite?

Yes. Invisalign corrects mild to moderate overbites where upper front teeth overlap lower teeth too much. The aligners reposition teeth and can use precision cuts and elastic attachments to adjust bite relationships. Severe overbites from jaw discrepancies may need traditional braces or surgery. A consultation with digital imaging shows whether your overbite fits Invisalign's capabilities.

Can Invisalign fix an underbite?

Invisalign treats mild to moderate underbites where lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth when biting. Treatment uses planned tooth movements, sometimes with small attachments bonded to teeth for control. Severe underbites from jaw structure issues usually need traditional braces or surgery. Your consultation will include an assessment of whether Invisalign works for your underbite.

Invisalign vs braces - which is better?

Invisalign: nearly invisible, removable for eating, comfortable with no irritation to soft tissues. Traditional braces: faster for severe cases, no compliance required for wear time, lower cost. Invisalign works best for mild to moderate issues in patients who will wear aligners as directed. Braces are often better for complex cases, young children, or patients who prefer fixed appliances. The right choice depends on your orthodontic needs and lifestyle.

Do I need to wear Invisalign all day?

Wear aligners 20-22 hours daily. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and brushing. Consistent wear keeps teeth moving on schedule. Take them out too often and you'll delay results or need extra aligners. Most patients adapt to the routine quickly.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Most patients notice minor speech changes for the first few days—a slight lisp or different feel when talking. This lasts 2-7 days, then speech returns to normal. The thin, smooth plastic affects speech far less than traditional braces. Reading aloud during the first week helps you adjust faster.

"Today was my first time at Nations Dental Studio and it was far and away the best experience I have ever had at a dental practice. The hygienist was meticulous and made me feel very comfortable throughout. The specialist was just as great, I really felt like they cared about my teeth/ health like nothing I have experienced at other practices. I cannot say enough good things about my entire visit."
