From Scan to Straight: Here's the Process
Consultation + 3D Scan
No goopy molds. We scan your teeth digitally and show you a simulation of what your smile will look like when treatment is done. Free. No commitment.
Your Custom Aligners Arrive
Each set is made specifically for your teeth. You swap to a new tray every 1-2 weeks. Each one moves things a tiny bit further.
Wear Them 20-22 Hours a Day
Keep them in. Take them out to eat and brush. That's the whole routine. Check-ins every 6-8 weeks to make sure things are on track.
Retainers to Keep It
When treatment wraps, you get custom retainers. Wear them as directed and your results stay put. Skip them and things shift back. We've seen it happen.
Invisalign Makes Sense If...
- Your teeth are crowded and it's been on your mind for a while
- There's a gap you notice every time you look in the mirror
- You had braces when you were younger but your teeth shifted back: classic retainer skip
- You want to fix your smile but you'd rather not deal with brackets and wires at this stage of life
- Your bite is slightly off and it's starting to cause wear or jaw tension
- You're a professional and visible braces just aren't happening
Invisalign works for most mild to moderate cases. If your situation needs something else, Dr. Baranes will tell you. He's not going to sell you Invisalign if braces or another approach would work better.

Who's Handling Your Invisalign
Your Invisalign provider: certified, experienced.
Alignment isn't just about making teeth straight. It's about getting the bite right too.
Why it matters here: complex cases where alignment and restoration overlap.
Not a mill. Not a franchise. You see the same doctor every time.
A lot of adults come in thinking they missed their window, like straight teeth are something you're supposed to sort out in high school. That's not how it works. I've treated patients in their 30s, 40s, 60s. The best time to start is whenever you're ready.

Invisalign Cost in Centennial: No Guessing
- Cost depends on your case: how many trays, how long you wear them
- Free consultation = personalized quote with no obligation
- Most dental insurance covers Invisalign the same way it covers braces
- 0% financing: monthly payments that work for your budget
- Retainers are typically rolled into the treatment plan cost
If cost is holding you back, call anyway. Between insurance coverage and financing, most patients end up paying way less per month than they expected.
FAQ
How much does Invisalign run in Centennial?
There's no flat rate. It depends on what needs to move and how far. Simple cases cost less, complex ones cost more. The free consultation gives you a real number. Insurance covers part of it for most patients, and we do 0% financing.
Is it going to hurt?
Not in the way you're probably imagining. New trays feel tight for a day or two. That's the teeth moving. After that, you barely notice them. It's nothing compared to tightening braces.
How long until my teeth are straight?
Mild cases sometimes wrap up in 3-4 months. Average is more like 6-12. You'll see the full projected timeline during your consultation. Dr. Baranes maps it out digitally before treatment starts.
Can people actually tell I'm wearing them?
Almost never. The trays are clear and fit tight. The only person who'll know is you, and maybe your dentist.
My teeth moved back after braces years ago. Can Invisalign fix that?
That's one of the most common cases we see. Teeth that relapsed after orthodontic treatment respond really well to Invisalign. And this time, you'll get retainers, and hopefully use them.
Am I too old for Invisalign?
No. Full stop. Dr. Baranes has treated Invisalign patients well into their 60s. If your teeth and gums are healthy enough, age isn't the limiting factor. Alignment is.
What's the difference between Invisalign and those mail-order aligners?
Supervision. Mail-order aligners skip the dentist entirely: no X-rays, no bite analysis, no one monitoring what's happening to your roots. Invisalign at our office means Dr. Baranes checks everything along the way. The trays look similar. The oversight is not even close.
