Invisalign® Clear Aligners Available in San Antonio

Contact Our San Antonio Dental Office Today – (210) 899-5716

Invisalign® clear aligners gradually reposition teeth affected by crookedness, overlapping, or other forms of misalignment. These removable orthodontic appliances fit over your teeth and offer an alternative to fixed metal braces when clear aligners are appropriate for your needs.

Practical Benefits of Invisalign

• Clear aligners provide a discreet appearance without metal brackets or wires.
• Removable trays can be taken out for meals, brushing, flossing, and cleaning.
• Digital 3D treatment planning guides the creation of your customized aligners.
• Each aligner is made to fit your teeth and support the planned sequence of tooth movement.

At Shaenfield Family Dental, we want you to feel informed about your options for addressing misaligned teeth. Talk to Dr. Hasheem or our friendly staff members to learn whether Invisalign fits your orthodontic needs.

Individualized Invisalign Consultations with Dr. Hasheem

Dr. Uzma Hasheem earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2010 and has more than 15 years of experience providing general dental care to San Antonio families. Her clinical career includes thousands of complex cases; that figure isn’t an Invisalign-specific case count.

Your consultation focuses on your teeth, oral health, treatment goals, and ability to follow the daily aligner routine. Rather than making a one-size-fits-all recommendation, we explain whether Invisalign is appropriate and discuss other options when clear aligners aren’t the right fit.

Understanding How Invisalign Treatments Work

Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation to assess your alignment, dental health, and treatment goals. If clear aligners are appropriate, we explain the daily routine and what to expect at follow-up appointments.

The next step is scanning your teeth to create a digital 3D model. This model is used to produce a 3D-printed, fully customized aligner mold. Your treatment plan then maps the gradual movement of your teeth through a sequence of customized clear aligners.

Like wire braces, Invisalign works gradually. Patients usually return to our San Antonio dental office once a month for another mouth scan and an updated clear aligner. We repeat this process until the planned treatment sequence is complete.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Invisalign?

Candidates for Invisalign may have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including misaligned teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crowding. They should have good oral health and be able to attend follow-up appointments.

Because the aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours daily, Invisalign may not suit people who would frequently remove them. Severe misalignment may require fixed braces or another orthodontic treatment, while significant tooth sensitivity or other dental complications may also affect eligibility. A consultation with our Invisalign dentist in San Antonio can determine whether clear aligners are appropriate for you.

Invisalign Costs & PPO Insurance

The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your orthodontic concerns and your individualized treatment plan. Before you decide whether to proceed, our team explains the recommended options and associated costs upfront.

We accept a broad selection of PPO dental insurance plans, including Guardian, GEHA, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, MetLife, Humana, and BCBS Texas. Orthodontic benefits vary by plan, so coverage for Invisalign depends on your specific policy. Our team can review available benefit information and provide guidance intended to help you make the most of your plan.
