Clear Aligners for a Straighter, More Confident Smile
Want straighter teeth without metal brackets and wires? Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to transform your smile. At Smiles Unlimited Family Dental, Dr. Rakhi Jani provides customized Invisalign treatment for teens and adults in Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, Tracy, and the surrounding Tri-Valley area.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging to create a precise digital model of your teeth. A series of custom clear aligners is fabricated for your teeth, and you wear each set for one to two weeks before switching.
Each aligner makes small, controlled adjustments that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Treatment begins with digital impressions and a virtual preview of your results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays (aligners) that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Each tray makes slight adjustments to tooth position, gradually moving your teeth into alignment over the course of treatment.
Treatment time varies, but most Invisalign cases are completed in 6 to 18 months. The length depends on the complexity of your alignment needs. Dr. Jani provides a detailed treatment plan and estimated timeline during your consultation.
Invisalign is effective for mild to moderate alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. For more complex cases, traditional braces or FASTBRACES may be more appropriate. Dr. Jani will evaluate your teeth and recommend the best option.
For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is key to staying on schedule with your treatment plan.
Invisalign costs are comparable to traditional braces for many cases. The exact cost depends on the complexity of your treatment. We accept dental insurance with orthodontic benefits and offer flexible financing options to help make Invisalign affordable.
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first day or two of wearing new aligners, but this typically resolves quickly as your tongue adjusts. Most people find that Invisalign does not noticeably affect their speech.
Yes. Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for adolescent patients, with features like compliance indicators that show if the aligners are being worn enough. Dr. Jani provides Invisalign for both teens and adults at our Livermore office.
