In Grove City, OH, Invisalign is not just a simple piece of plastic but a high-tech orthodontic treatment that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to create custom aligners. Regularly wearing these aligners can achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
The experienced dentists at Grove City Center for Dentistry, Dr. Simone and Dr. Lowe, can develop and implement the perfect Invisalign treatment plan for you or your teenager.
Throughout your treatment, you will receive a series of aligners individually created to your exact specifications and designed to shift your teeth into place over time gradually.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process at The Grove City Center for Dentistry
During your initial consultation, Dr. Simone and Dr. Lowe will discuss any cosmetic concerns you may have about your teeth and smile. Then, if you are a candidate for Invisalign®, we will create a treatment plan developed with your goals in mind.
The Invisalign system starts with a digital scan of your teeth. This gives your doctor a precise 3D image of your teeth so they can map out your entire treatment from start to finish. Then, using the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, you and your doctor can see what your new smile will look like at each stage of treatment.
Once your doctor approves your treatment plan, your aligners are custom-made. You’ll receive a new set of aligners every two weeks to continue moving your teeth until you reach your desired smile.
We create customized aligners for you to wear at each stage of your treatment. A complete treatment may include several aligners per arch, but the total number of aligners will depend on each patient’s situation.
Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces: What is the difference?
While both Invisalign and traditional braces are effective at straightening teeth, some key differences exist:
- Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won't even know you're wearing them. On the other hand, traditional metal brackets are very noticeable and can be uncomfortable to wear.
- Invisalign aligners are also removable, so you can take them out to enjoy your favorite foods and brush your teeth. Traditional braces are fixed in place, making eating and cleaning your teeth difficult.
- Invisalign treatment is also typically quicker than traditional braces, with most patients finishing their treatment in about 12 months. On the other hand, you need two years or more to achieve a straight smile with traditional braces.
If you’re looking for a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional braces, Invisalign might be right for you. Schedule a consultation with The Grove City Center for Dentistry today to determine if you’re a candidate for Invisalign treatment.

Commonly Asked Questions
What can Invisalign® fix?
Invisalign can fix a wide variety of dental issues, including:
- Crowded teeth: When teeth are too close together, it can be difficult to clean them properly, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign treatment can help to align crowded teeth, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of oral health issues.
- Gapped teeth: Gaps between teeth can be unsightly, making it difficult to chew or speak properly. Invisalign can help to close gaps between teeth, creating a more even and functional smile.
- Overbite: An overbite occurs when the upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth. Invisalign treatment can help correct an overbite, improving the teeth’ appearance and function.
- Underbite: An underbite occurs when the lower teeth protrude too far forward compared to the upper teeth. Invisalign can help to correct an underbite, improving both the appearance and function of the teeth.
- Crossbite: A crossbite occurs when the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Invisalign can help to correct a crossbite, improving the alignment and function of the teeth.
- Misaligned teeth: Misaligned teeth can cause discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Invisalign can help straighten teeth over time, improving your smile’s appearance and overall oral health.
- Gum disease: Gum disease is a common condition caused by bacteria in plaque that irritate the gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, tooth loss, and even heart disease in severe cases. Invisalign improves gum health by making it easier to clean between teeth and reducing the number of bacteria accumulating in hard-to-reach areas.
- Jaw joints (TMJs): Jaw pain causes discomfort, clicking or popping sounds, and limited movement. Invisalign treatment alleviates TMJ issues by correcting misaligned teeth and reducing joint stress.
Am I a candidate for Invisalign®?
These factors will determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign® treatment. These factors include:
- The overall health of your teeth and gums.
- The type of dental work you may need.
While Invisalign® can correct many dental issues, it cannot fix everything traditional braces can, such as crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and gapped teeth. However, if you have an overbite or underbite, we will refer you to an orthodontist who can help.
How often should I wear my Invisalign® aligners?
To complete your treatment within the determined timeline, you should wear your aligners for at least 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating and drinking. We will monitor your progress during occasional checkups and provide you with your next set of aligners. You will see your teeth gradually move into place throughout the treatment process, resulting in a new smile that makes you proud.
How much does Invisalign® treatment cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Simone or Dr. Lowe. We will develop a customized treatment plan and provide you with an estimate of the total cost.
In most cases, Invisalign® is covered by dental insurance, just like traditional braces. However, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider to see if Invisalign® is covered under your specific plan.
At The Grove City Center for Dentistry, we aim to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. We offer flexible financing options to help make your treatment more affordable.
