Invisalign in Woodinville, WA
Straighten Quietly And Show Up Like Always
If crooked teeth have you covering your smile in photos, metal braces are not your only option. Advanced Care Dentistry offers Invisalign in Woodinville, WA. Dr. Robert Redenz starts with an exam so he can tell you honestly whether clear aligners fit your teeth before you commit to anything.
Most people who ask about Invisalign have been thinking about it for a long time. Maybe you wore braces as a teenager and your teeth drifted, or you never had them and learned to smile with your lips together. Wanting that to change isn't vanity, and nobody should make you feel you waited too long. The months go by either way, and for some patients treatment takes as little as six months, so the easiest time to ask is now.
Why Do Patients Choose Invisalign Over Braces?
Most patients choose it because the aligners come out when they want them out, and the other reasons follow from that.
They Come Out For Meals And For Brushing.
They Are Clear, With No Brackets Or Wires.
They Can Be Quick For Some Patients.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work At Our Office?
Invisalign takes a few visits and a series of aligners, and it starts with an exam so Dr. Redenz can tell you honestly whether it fits your case.
Caring For Your Teeth During Treatment
Brush your teeth after meals and before and after sleep, and brush before you put the aligners back in. Because the aligners come out, daily care stays the same as it was before treatment.
Invisalign Vs Braces
The biggest difference is that aligners come out and braces stay on, and these are the differences worth knowing:
Meet Dr. Redenz
Dr. Robert G. Redenz, DDS, is a general and cosmetic dentist. He earned his degree at Virginia Commonwealth University and went on to advanced training in general dentistry in Charleston, South Carolina, with cosmetic work and full-mouth rehabilitation among its focuses.
That training matters for aligners because Dr. Redenz plans the finished smile, not just the tooth movement. At your exam he can tell you whether aligners alone will give you the look you want or whether a little bonding at the end would finish it.
Dr. Redenz uses SmileView, a smile simulation, so you can picture the result before you start. See his SmileView preview to get a feel for what a finished smile can look like.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Our pricing is competitive with the area, and your exact cost depends on how far your teeth need to move. Dr. Redenz reviews the full cost with you after your exam, before treatment begins. The complexity of your case is the main factor on why the price is different, which is why a number given before an exam is only a guess.
We verify your orthodontic insurance benefits before you start and file the claims for you. The details are on our financial information page. CareCredit financing is available if you would like to spread the cost out. If you do not have insurance, our in-house membership plans cover your preventive care and can lower the cost of other procedures you need.
Is Invisalign Right For Your Teeth?
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment concerns, and whether it suits your teeth is a call your dentist makes after an exam. If aligners turn out not to be the best route, it is better to learn that at the first visit.

Plan on 20 to 22 hours a day, since that is what gets the results the plan was built for. The aligners come out when you eat or drink and go back in afterward, so most of your day, including sleep, is aligner time. Ask Dr. Redenz at your exam how to build that into your routine.
It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Treatment can take as little as six months for some patients, and Dr. Redenz can give you a timeline for your own teeth after your exam, once he has seen your bite and how much movement your smile needs.
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment concerns, and your dentist decides whether it fits your case after an exam. That is why Dr. Redenz starts there. If aligners alone will not give you the look you want, he can talk with you about adding bonding or veneers, since both are offered in our office.
Yes. You take the aligners out for meals, so there is no foods-to-avoid list the way there is with braces, and popcorn is back on the table. Put the aligners back in when you finish eating, since they only work when you wear them.
Yes, you can preview them. Dr. Redenz uses SmileView, a smile simulation, to show how your smile could look after treatment, and you can open his SmileView preview to see an example. A preview is a simulation, so your actual result depends on your exam and your treatment plan.
You may feel some pressure and tightness for a day or two at the start of treatment. Invisalign aligners are also more comfortable than braces, because there are no brackets or wires to break and irritate your mouth. If anything about your aligners feels off, call us at 425-483-2442 and we will help you sort it out.
Not always. Invisalign is planned by a dentist or orthodontist, and Dr. Redenz is a general and cosmetic dentist who offers it at our office. Your exam is where you find out whether your case fits his care or calls for a different approach, so you are not left guessing.
Brush after meals and before and after sleep, and brush before you put the aligners back in. Because the aligners come out, you can brush and floss the way you always have. If you have questions about your routine, ask Dr. Redenz at your exam and he will go through it with you.
