Your Path to a Straighter Smile Getting started with Invisalign at UniverCity Dental is easier than you think. Here's what to expect from your very first visit to your final result.
Scan & Plan
We take a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth using our iTero scanner — no messy impressions needed. Dr. Sun uses this to build your custom aligner plan and show you a preview of your results before treatment begins.
Wear & Progress
Your custom clear aligners arrive ready to go. Wear them 20–22 hours a day, swapping to a new set every one to two weeks. Quick check-ins every 6–8 weeks keep your progress on track.
Finish & Retain
Once your final aligner is complete, we fit you with a custom retainer to lock in your new smile for the long term. Straight teeth, beautifully maintained.

How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners — each custom-designed for your teeth — to gradually shift your smile into alignment. Every one to two weeks, you move to the next set of aligners in your series, with each set making small, precise adjustments. The process is guided by your treatment plan, which we map out in detail before you start. Most patients wear their aligners 20 to 22 hours per day for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
Have a question before your first visit? Here are answers to some of the most common things patients ask us.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners — this is normal and typically settles within a day or two. It is a sign the aligners are working.
Can I eat and drink with aligners in?
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This protects the aligners from staining and damage, and keeps your teeth clean.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and clean them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Invisalign also offers cleaning crystals designed specifically for aligner care.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Most patients adjust within a few days. There may be a slight, temporary change in speech as you get used to wearing aligners — this resolves quickly for the vast majority of patients.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may take as little as a few months, while more comprehensive treatment can take longer. Your estimated timeline will be outlined in your personalized treatment plan.
