Quick Facts
Essential information about this procedure
“Seeing your results before treatment starts isn't a gimmick — it's how we make sure the plan is right for you from day one.”
Why a Diamond Provider Makes a Difference
Not every dentist who offers Invisalign has the same level of experience with it. The Diamond Provider designation is earned only by clinicians who have completed a high volume of Invisalign cases — it reflects hands-on experience with a wide range of alignment challenges, from mild crowding to more complex bite corrections.
Dr. Sonal Deshpande achieved Diamond Provider status through consistent Invisalign case volume and ongoing training with the treatment system. When you sit down for your consultation at Brilliant Smiles, she uses digital intraoral scans — no messy impressions — along with CAD software to map your tooth movements and generate a preview of your expected results. You can see where your smile is headed before a single aligner is made.
That level of planning matters. Invisalign works because each tray is precisely manufactured to move specific teeth by a fraction of a millimeter at a time. A well-mapped treatment plan means fewer mid-course corrections, more predictable outcomes, and a timeline you can actually count on. Whether you're an adult who put off braces for years or a parent exploring options for your teenager, Dr. Deshpande will walk you through exactly what to expect — including realistic timelines, what the aligners feel like, and how to get the most out of every tray.

Is Invisalign really as effective as traditional braces, or is it just for minor corrections?
Invisalign has advanced significantly and is now capable of treating a wide range of orthodontic issues — from minor crowding and spacing to more complex bite corrections. Dr. Deshpande is a Diamond Invisalign Provider, which reflects a high level of training, experience, and case volume with the system. She'll evaluate your specific alignment concerns during a consultation and give you an honest assessment of whether Invisalign can achieve the outcome you're looking for.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case, but many adults complete Invisalign in 12 to 18 months. Simpler cases can take less time, while more involved corrections may take longer. The key factor on your end is wearing the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day — the more consistently you wear them, the more predictably you'll stay on track with your timeline.
Can my teenager get Invisalign, or is it only for adults?
Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients and includes features like compliance indicators to help parents confirm the aligners are being worn as directed. Dr. Deshpande offers Invisalign for both teens and adults here at Brilliant Smiles, so there's no need to visit a separate orthodontic office. She'll assess your child's dental development and help you determine the right timing and approach for their individual needs.
Does insurance cover Invisalign, and what do payment options look like?
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits will apply that coverage toward Invisalign just as they would toward traditional braces — typically a lifetime maximum that offsets a meaningful portion of the cost. Our team will verify your orthodontic benefits before treatment begins so you know exactly what you're working with. For any remaining balance, we offer flexible payment plans and 0% financing to make Invisalign genuinely accessible.
What happens after Invisalign treatment — do I need a retainer?
Yes — wearing a retainer after completing Invisalign is essential to keeping your teeth in their new positions. Without retention, teeth have a natural tendency to drift back toward where they started over time. Dr. Deshpande will provide you with a custom retainer and guidance on how often to wear it, and she'll follow up with you at your regular checkups to make sure your results are holding beautifully.
Every Invisalign case I plan starts with the same question: what does this person actually want their smile to look like? The technology lets us map the answer precisely — and that clarity makes the whole process better for everyone.
