What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom, removable trays instead of brackets and wires. Each set is worn for one to two weeks, moving teeth in small, planned steps until they reach their final positions. Patients from Celebration, FL are treated at our Kissimmee office on Parkway Boulevard, roughly two miles from Celebration Town Center.
Shannon Orthodontics is an Invisalign provider, and our orthodontists plan every case themselves using digital scans — no messy impressions. Because the trays are nearly invisible and come out for meals, Invisalign is a popular choice among Celebration adults and teens who would rather not spend a year or more in visible braces.
Benefits of Invisalign Near Celebration
- Nearly invisible: Most people will not notice you are in treatment, which matters for work, teaching, and photos.
- Removable: Take trays out to eat, brush, floss, or play an instrument. No food restrictions.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic instead of brackets and wires means fewer sore spots and no emergency bracket repairs.
- Easier hygiene: Brushing and flossing stay completely normal, which helps protect enamel and gums during treatment.
- Fewer office visits: Check-ins are typically every six to ten weeks and are short — convenient when you are only minutes up US-192.
- Predictable planning: Digital treatment planning lets us show you the projected result before you begin.
How Does the Invisalign Process Work?
Step 1: Complimentary Consultation and Digital Scan
Your first visit is free for new patients. We examine your bite, take digital images, and confirm whether Invisalign will achieve what you want. If it will not, we will say so and explain the alternative.
Step 2: Your Custom Treatment Plan
Our orthodontists map out each stage of tooth movement and review the projected timeline, the number of trays, and the full cost — including insurance benefits and monthly payment options. Estimate payments in advance with our payment calculator.
Step 3: Receiving Your Aligners
When your trays arrive we fit the first set, place any small tooth-colored attachments your plan calls for, and teach you how to insert, remove, and clean the aligners. Plan on 20 to 22 hours of wear per day for the plan to stay on schedule.
Step 4: Progress Checks
You will switch to a new set roughly every one to two weeks at home and see us every six to ten weeks so we can confirm teeth are tracking as planned and hand off your next trays.
Step 5: Retainers
Once your teeth are in position, we fit a retainer to hold the result. Teeth drift for life, so wearing your retainer as directed is what makes the outcome permanent.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign treats a wide range of cases: crowding, spacing, mild to moderate overbites and underbites, crossbites, and relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. The best candidates are patients who will genuinely keep the trays in 20 to 22 hours a day.
Invisalign may be a strong fit if you:
- Are an adult who does not want visible appliances
- Are a responsible teen who can manage wear time
- Have mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Had braces years ago and your teeth have shifted
- Play contact sports or wind instruments
For significant bite correction, jaw growth guidance, or younger patients still losing baby teeth, braces or two-phase treatment is often the better route. We also offer Invisalign for teens and Invisalign for adults.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign in Celebration
How much does Invisalign cost near Celebration, FL?
Invisalign cost depends on how complex your case is and how many trays it requires. In most plans, Invisalign is comparable to braces, and many dental insurance policies apply their orthodontic benefit to it. You will get an exact quote and monthly payment options at your complimentary new patient exam.
How long does Invisalign take?
Many cases finish in 12 to 18 months, with simple cases going faster and complex ones taking longer. Wear time is the deciding factor — trays left in a drawer stall the entire plan.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For the cases it is designed to treat, yes. Braces still have the edge for severe crowding, major bite correction, and growing patients who need jaw guidance. Our orthodontists evaluate your bite and recommend whichever option will actually deliver the result you want.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Expect mild pressure or tightness for a day or two after switching to a new set. That sensation is the aligner doing its job, and most patients describe it as far milder than adjustment days with braces.
Can teens from Celebration get Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign for teens includes compliance indicators that help parents and our team confirm wear time. We treat teens from Celebration K-8 School and Celebration High School and schedule around the school day when we can.
What if I lose an aligner?
Call us at 863-353-6867 as soon as you notice. Depending on where you are in the series, we will have you move to the next tray or return to the previous one while a replacement is ordered — the important thing is not to leave trays out for days.
