Dr. Tripti Pawar is your Invisalign orthodontist in Issaquah and Sammamish, WA.
At GNW Orthodontics, we create beautiful smiles with Invisalign First for Kids, Invisalign for Teens, and Invisalign for Adults.
Invisalign is a modern, “braceless” alternative to traditional metal braces.
Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten your teeth and align your bite.
Your aligners are made from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrackĀ® material, a BPA-free, flexible plastic designed for a comfortable fit and predictable tooth movement.
Each set of aligners is carefully designed to move your teeth little by little. Over time, these small movements add up to a beautifully straighter, healthier smile.
You’ll wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day and switch to a new set approximately every two weeks.
It’s important that you stick to your treatment plan in order to experience the best results in the shortest time possible!
Busy schedule? We get it!
We pair Invisalign with virtual treatment monitoring, allowing you to make progress toward your new smile with remote check-ins and fewer trips to the office.
1. Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation
Meet with Dr. Pawar at our Issaquah or Sammamish office for a no-pressure consultation. We’ll examine your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
2. Get Your Digital Scan & Custom Treatment Plan
We’ll take comfortable, impression-free digital scans of your teeth and create a fully personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your smile.
3. Start Smiling with Invisalign
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours each day, changing to a new set approximately every two weeks. Throughout treatment, Dr. Pawar will monitor your progress and make sure your smile stays on track.
For added convenience, we also offer virtual treatment monitoring for Invisalign patients, allowing many patients to enjoy fewer in-office visits while receiving the personalized care they deserve.
Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable when they’re in place, allowing you to smile confidently at work, out with friends, or while exploring everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
Invisalign fits seamlessly into your everyday life.
Your Invisalign aligners are custom-made with smooth, rounded edges designed to fit comfortably in your mouth without causing irritation, so you can stay focused on living your life, not your orthodontic treatment.
Your smile is one of a kind, and your treatment should be, too. Using our iTeroĀ® digital scanner, Dr. Pawar creates a fully personalized treatment plan and custom aligners designed specifically for your smile and bite.
Remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, or for special occasions.
There are no dietary restrictions and no need to put your life on hold.
Whether you’re heading into Seattle, hiking a local trail, or meeting friends for dinner, Invisalign adapts to your lifestyle.
Many patients begin noticing changes within just a few weeks.
Most treatments are completed within about a year, though treatment time varies based on your needs and how consistently you wear your aligners.
The cost of Invisalign depends on your unique smile and treatment goals.
Dr. Pawar creates a personalized treatment plan with customized financing options designed around your needs and budget.
We offer flexible payment plans, 0% interest in-house financing, accept most insurance plans, and provide discounts for family members, military, teachers, first responders, and healthcare professionals.
Invisalign and at-home clear aligners may look similar, but they aren’t the same experience.
With Invisalign, Dr. Pawar creates a customized treatment plan and monitors your progress throughout your journey.
This allows us to make adjustments when needed and ensure your teeth and bite are moving safely and predictably.
At-home aligners typically don’t offer the same level of doctor supervision, diagnostics, or personalized care.
Invisalign can successfully treat many orthodontic concerns, including crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, and certain bite issues.
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Pawar will evaluate your smile and determine whether Invisalign is the right fit for your needs.
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours each day.
You’ll remove them only to eat, drink anything besides water, brush, and floss.
Every smile is different, so appointment schedules vary, typically every 10 to 12 weeks.
To make treatment even more convenient, we also offer virtual treatment monitoring for Invisalign patients, allowing many patients to enjoy remote check-ins and fewer trips to the office.
Most patients experience mild pressure or soreness for a few days when starting a new set of aligners.
This is completely normal and usually means your aligners are working to gently move your teeth.
Yes. Invisalign aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions.
Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water, then brush your teeth and place them back in afterward.
Some patients notice a slight lisp when they first begin wearing Invisalign.
Most people adjust quickly and speak normally within a few days.
Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners.
Many Invisalign patients begin noticing changes within just a few weeks, and most treatments are completed in about a year.
Don’t panic. Contact our office as soon as possible.
Depending on your stage of treatment, Dr. Pawar may recommend wearing your previous aligner, moving to your next set, or replacing the lost aligner.
