Invisalign in Keller, TX

Most patients hesitate to straighten their teeth because traditional braces can feel disruptive to daily life. At Sky Creek Dental, we offer Invisalign clear aligners that provide a more practical approach, using a series of custom made, nearly invisible trays that gently guide your teeth into better alignment over time. 

Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Geurkink plan your treatment from a 3D scan of your teeth. Most treatment takes 6 to 18 months, and you switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks.

Why Keller Patients Choose Invisalign

You Can Take Them Out

You remove the aligners to eat and drink, then brush and floss the way you do now. There are no food restrictions, and nothing to work around at dinner.

They’re Nearly Invisible

The aligners are clear and have no brackets or wires, so they’re hard to spot in a conversation or a photo.

Less Irritation Than Braces

Smooth aligners don’t rub your cheeks and gums the way brackets and wires can. You’ll feel mild pressure when you switch to a new set, and that’s normal.

The Whole Plan Is Mapped Before You Start

Each set of aligners is planned in advance from your 3D scan, so the full sequence of tooth movement is set before you wear the first one.

What Waiting Can Cost You

Crowded or overlapping teeth can be harder to clean, and a bite that doesn’t line up can wear teeth unevenly over time. Putting it off means living with the smile you’re hiding a little longer, and those problems don’t fix themselves.

Why Invisalign Is the Right Option

At Sky Creek Dental in Keller, Invisalign comes with an in-person exam, a plan designed by our doctors, and progress checks at our office. Other clear aligners can also straighten teeth, but how they are supervised varies. Align, the company behind Invisalign, says the software we plan your treatment in is powered by data from 23 million smiles. So the plan we build for you has a lot of experience behind it, and we adjust it to fit your teeth.

Aligners Made From Smarttrack

Your aligners are made from SmartTrack, a patented material Align developed over 8 years of research and 260 tested materials. Align says it applies gentle, constant force and fits snugly around your teeth. In a published patient survey, people found it more comfortable than Align’s earlier aligner material, with less pain and pressure when putting the aligners in.

Software That Maps Your Whole Treatment

Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Geurkink plan your treatment in ClinCheck, Invisalign’s own software. It maps the path from your first aligner to your finished smile, and Align says it helps make sure each tooth moves in the right order at the right time. Because our doctors work in a 3D view of your teeth, they can customize the plan to fit you.

Invisalign vs Braces

Invisalign and braces both straighten teeth, and their costs are comparable. The difference is daily life: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and come out for eating, brushing, and flossing, while braces stay on the whole time. At Sky Creek Dental in Keller, our doctors can tell you which fits your teeth at your consultation.

• Brushing and flossing. Because aligners come out, you clean your teeth the way you do now. So, oral hygiene is better during treatment than with braces.
• Comfort. In a study sponsored by Align, adult patients with mild to moderate crowding reported more comfort with Invisalign than with braces.
• Time. Research shows Invisalign patients finish about 5 months sooner than braces patients on average. Treatment time varies by case, and your doctor sets your timeline.
• Fewer visits. Invisalign patients need fewer visits to the office than braces patients.

How Treatment Works

1-Exam and 3D scan: We examine your teeth and gums, then scan your teeth in 3D with an iTero scanner, so you don’t need traditional impressions. Dr. Cornelius or Dr. Geurkink reviews your bite and alignment and tells you whether Invisalign is a good fit.

2-Treatment plan: Using your scan, we map how your teeth will move over time. In many cases you can preview your expected results before treatment begins.

3-Your first aligners: You come back to pick up your aligners. We show you how to wear them and what to expect in the first few days. Plan on wearing them 20 to 22 hours a day.

4-Progress checks: You return for short visits so we can confirm your teeth are tracking as planned and hand you your next sets.

5-Finish and retain: When your teeth reach their final position, we give you retainers and show you how to wear them so the results hold.

Invisalign Cost and Ways to Pay

Comprehensive Invisalign treatment at Sky Creek starts at $5,900. That’s a starting price, not a final quote. Your final cost depends on how complex your case is and it can change if you need other treatment before or after Invisalign, such as a cleaning, deep cleaning, periodontal treatment, veneers, or bonding. The price includes all of your aligners, four sets of retainers once treatment is finished, and whitening gel, and we don’t charge for additional refinements. We will give you an estimate before treatment begins, so you can have all what you need before making a decision.

Ways To Pay For Treatment

• Dental insurance. We’re an out-of-network provider, so no insurance contract limits the care we recommend, and your plan still contributes toward your treatment. We estimate your benefits beforehand and file the claim for you. Whether a plan covers clear aligners depends on the plan, so we check yours before you start.
• CareCredit. This is a healthcare credit card that lets you spread out the cost of treatment. Terms are set by CareCredit, so ask our financial coordinator if you have questions about them.
• Online payments. Once treatment is under way, you can make payments any time through our online payment page.

Our financial team walks you through each option before you commit. The full details are on our financial options page.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Most teens and adults in Keller are candidates for Invisalign, and our doctors confirm it at your exam. Not every case needs a full course of treatment. If you only need small adjustments over a few months, we have options for that, and your doctor decides which one is right for you. If Invisalign isn’t the right fit for your case, we’ll say so and explain what we’d recommend instead.

The Doctors Who Plan Your Treatment

Dr. Brent Cornelius and Dr. Jessica Geurkink are the ones in charge of designing your Invisalign plan. That means your plan comes from dentists who keep learning.

Dr. Geurkink graduated first in her class at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry and is active in the Academy of General Dentistry. She takes continuing education courses regularly, so your plan reflects current training. Dr. Cornelius worked as a dental and lab assistant at several area practices through school, so he came to dentistry with years of hands-on experience.

Sky Creek Dental is also an Invisalign Gold provider. Align groups its providers into tiers based on how many Invisalign cases they treat, and Gold means our doctors see Invisalign patients regularly. They know how treatment tends to go, so at your progress checks they can spot teeth that aren’t tracking as planned and adjust your plan.

Do I Need An Orthodontist For Invisalign?

Not necessarily. Align says Invisalign-trained dentists and specialist orthodontists have both completed the training required to provide Invisalign. At Sky Creek Dental in Keller, we examine you first, and if Invisalign isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom, clear plastic aligners that move your teeth a little at a time. At Sky Creek Dental in Keller, we plan each set from a 3D iTero scan of your teeth. You wear each set for one to two weeks, then switch to the next, and the sets guide your teeth into better alignment.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign treatment takes about 6 to 18 months, depending on your specific needs and how consistently you wear your aligners. After your exam and 3D scan, our doctors at Sky Creek Dental can give you a timeline for your own case, since crowding, spacing, and bite concerns all differ from patient to patient.

Do I have to wear Invisalign all day?

Wear your Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results. You only take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. Wearing them consistently keeps your treatment on schedule, and our team at Sky Creek Dental will go over wear time with you when you start.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You may feel mild pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, but most patients find Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces. The aligners are smooth and have no brackets or wires, which helps reduce irritation to your cheeks and gums. If something feels wrong, call our Keller office at (817) 431-4200 and we’ll take a look.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

Yes. You take your Invisalign aligners out when you eat, so there are no food restrictions. After your meal, brush your teeth and put the aligners back in. Keep in mind that you should only drink water with them in, and the 20 to 22 hours of daily wear still applies, so plan to put them back in promptly.

How do I clean Invisalign aligners?

Gently brush your Invisalign aligners with a soft toothbrush and rinse them daily. Keeping up with your normal brushing and flossing helps keep the aligners clean too. If you have questions about caring for your aligners, our team at Sky Creek Dental in Keller is happy to go over it with you at your visit.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign?

Most teens and adults are candidates for Invisalign, but the only way to know for your own case is an exam. At Sky Creek Dental in Keller, Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Geurkink examine your teeth, review your 3D scan, and tell you whether Invisalign is the right option for you, or whether something else would work better.
