What Is Invisalign® and How Does It Work?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, there are no brackets bonded to your teeth and no wires to tighten. Instead, you wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next set in the sequence.
The process starts with a digital scan of your teeth at our Oviedo office—no messy impressions needed. Dr. Weeks uses this scan to design a precise treatment plan using Invisalign®’s ClinCheck® software, which creates a 3D simulation of your tooth movement from start to finish. You’ll see your projected smile transformation before you even begin treatment.
Each aligner is engineered from Invisalign®’s patented SmartTrack® material, which applies gentle, controlled forces to specific teeth at specific times. You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss. Most adult cases are completed in 12–18 months, though treatment time varies based on complexity.
Why Oviedo Residents Choose Invisalign® at Weeks Orthodontics
Oviedo is one of the fastest-growing communities in Central Florida, and its residents expect modern, convenient healthcare. Here’s why patients from across the Oviedo area—from the neighborhoods surrounding County Road 419 to the communities near UCF—choose Weeks Orthodontics for their Invisalign® treatment:
- Diamond-Level Invisalign® Provider: Dr. Weeks’ extensive Invisalign® experience means more predictable results and fewer refinements.
- Convenient Oviedo Location: Our office is easily accessible from CR 419, making it a quick stop for UCF students between classes, Research Park professionals on a lunch break, or parents running errands near Oviedo Mall.
- Advanced Technology: We use iTero digital scanning, 3D treatment planning, and in-office monitoring tools that reduce office visits—perfect for busy Oviedo lifestyles.
- Flexible Payment Options: We work with most dental insurance plans and offer interest-free financing to fit any budget.
- Free Initial Consultation: Your first visit includes a comprehensive exam, digital scans, and a personalized treatment recommendation at no cost.
Invisalign® for Teens in Oviedo
Invisalign® isn’t just for adults. Invisalign® Teen is specifically designed for the unique needs of adolescent patients, and it’s become increasingly popular among families in Oviedo’s growing, diverse community. With Oviedo High School, Hagerty High School, and UCF right in the area, many of our teen and young adult patients appreciate the discreet look that Invisalign® offers.
Invisalign® Teen includes special features like compliance indicators—small blue dots on the aligners that fade with wear, helping parents and Dr. Weeks confirm the aligners are being used properly. The system also includes up to six replacement aligners at no extra charge, because we know teenage life can be unpredictable.
For student-athletes at Oviedo-area schools, Invisalign® is especially appealing. There’s no risk of a bracket breaking during football practice or a wire poking during a swim meet. Aligners can be removed for sports (with a regular mouthguard) and for playing musical instruments—activities that can be challenging with traditional braces.
Invisalign® for Adults: Discreet Treatment for Busy Professionals
For the thousands of professionals working at UCF’s Research Park, the growing tech corridor along Alafaya Trail, or in Oviedo’s expanding business district, Invisalign® offers orthodontic correction without the self-consciousness of metal braces. Many of our adult patients tell us they put off orthodontic treatment for years because they didn’t want a “metal mouth” in professional settings.
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible in conversation—most people won’t notice you’re wearing them during meetings, presentations, or video calls. And because the aligners are removable, there’s no impact on your diet. You can continue enjoying lunch at your favorite Oviedo On The Park restaurant without worrying about food restrictions.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 3 orthodontic patients today is an adult. You’re never too old for a straighter, healthier smile. Common adult concerns that Invisalign® can address include crowding that’s worsened over the years, spacing from a lost tooth, bite issues causing jaw pain, and relapse from not wearing retainers after previous treatment.
What Invisalign® Can Treat
Modern Invisalign® technology can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues. At our Oviedo office, Dr. Weeks regularly uses Invisalign® for:
- Crowded Teeth: When teeth overlap or twist due to limited space in the jaw.
- Gapped Teeth: Spaces between teeth caused by missing teeth, jaw growth discrepancies, or habits.
- Overbite: Upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth.
- Underbite: Lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth.
- Crossbite: Some upper teeth close inside the lower teeth—a condition that can cause uneven wear and gum recession.
- Open Bite: Upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed.
While Invisalign® handles most mild to moderate cases with excellent results, some complex situations may benefit from traditional braces or ceramic braces. During your free consultation, Dr. Weeks will honestly assess whether Invisalign® is the best option for your specific needs.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process at Our Oviedo Office
Step 1: Free Consultation
Visit our Oviedo location for a complimentary consultation. Dr. Weeks will examine your teeth, take digital scans with our iTero scanner, and discuss your goals. If Invisalign® is right for you, we’ll outline your treatment plan, timeline, and investment on the same day.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Design
Using ClinCheck® 3D software, Dr. Weeks maps every movement of every tooth throughout your treatment. You’ll see a virtual preview of your result and know exactly how many aligners you’ll need.
Step 3: Receive Your Aligners
Once your custom aligners arrive from the Invisalign® lab, you’ll come in to receive your first set along with detailed instructions. We may place small, tooth-colored attachments on certain teeth to help the aligners grip more effectively.
Step 4: Wear and Switch
Wear each set of aligners for 1–2 weeks, then switch to the next. You’ll visit our office approximately every 6–8 weeks so Dr. Weeks can monitor your progress. Many of our Oviedo patients appreciate the fewer visits compared to traditional braces.
Step 5: Reveal Your New Smile
When your final set is complete, you’ll transition to retainers to maintain your results. Most patients choose Vivera retainers, made by Invisalign® using the same advanced technology as your aligners.
Invisalign® Cost and Insurance in Oviedo
Invisalign® treatment at Weeks Orthodontics in Oviedo typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500, depending on the complexity and length of your case. This is comparable to the cost of traditional braces—and many patients are surprised to learn Invisalign® doesn’t cost significantly more.
Most dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics cover Invisalign® the same way they cover braces. Our team will verify your insurance benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises. We also offer:
- Interest-free monthly payment plans
- Flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) acceptance
- Family discounts for multiple patients
- CareCredit and other third-party financing
We believe cost should never prevent someone from getting the smile they deserve. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown specific to your case.
Invisalign® vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Choosing between Invisalign® and braces is one of the most common questions we hear from Oviedo patients. Here’s a quick comparison:
Choose Invisalign® if: You want a virtually invisible option, prefer removable aligners, have a mild-to-moderate case, and value the convenience of fewer office visits. Invisalign® is ideal for image-conscious teens, working professionals near UCF’s Research Park, and anyone who doesn’t want dietary restrictions.
Choose braces if: You have a complex case requiring precise tooth control, prefer a “set it and forget it” approach (no risk of losing aligners), or want colorful bands. Traditional braces remain the gold standard for severe crowding, significant bite correction, and certain tooth rotations.
Consider ceramic braces if: You need the power of traditional braces but want a less noticeable appearance. Ceramic brackets are tooth-colored and blend with your smile.
The right choice depends on your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and goals. Dr. Weeks will help you make an informed decision at your consultation.
Caring for Your Invisalign® Aligners
Keeping your aligners clean and your teeth healthy during treatment is simple:
- Rinse aligners every time you remove them to prevent bacteria buildup.
- Clean daily with a soft toothbrush and clear antibacterial soap (avoid colored toothpaste, which can stain them).
- Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting aligners after eating.
- Store in your case whenever they’re not in your mouth—never wrap aligners in a napkin (the #1 way they get accidentally thrown away!).
- Avoid hot drinks while wearing aligners, as heat can warp the plastic.
- Keep your schedule: Switch to new aligners on time and attend your progress checks at our Oviedo office.
If you have an issue with your aligners—a poor fit, a lost set, or discomfort—contact our orthodontic emergency line and we’ll get you taken care of quickly.
