Invisalign Clear Aligners in Houston Heights, TX

Invisalign at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights straightens teeth with a series of custom clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, plans every case from an iTero 3D scan, shows you a preview of your projected result before you commit, and monitors each stage so your teeth track the way the plan says they should. It starts with a complimentary consultation.

Is Invisalign right for you?

Most adults and teens with these concerns are strong candidates:

• Crowding Teeth that overlap, twist or sit out of line.
• Spacing Gaps between teeth or uneven spacing.
• Mild to moderate bite issues Overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite, depending on the case.
• Relapse after braces Teeth that have moved since earlier orthodontic treatment.

When another approach may come first

Some cases need more planning, a hybrid approach or other care before aligners: significant bite correction, severe crowding with little space, gum disease that is not yet under control, heavy clenching or grinding without protection, or a schedule that makes 20 to 22 hours of daily wear unrealistic. If decay, a broken filling or gum disease is present, that is treated first. Your consultation tells you honestly which group you are in.

Invisalign vs. braces

Invisalign suits people who want a discreet option and can commit to wear time. Braces can be the better tool when a case needs maximum control. Wondering how Invisalign compares with other aligner brands? Read Invisalign vs. other clear aligners.

What happens, step by step

1. Complimentary consultation

An oral health exam, a bite evaluation and a conversation about your goals, timeline and what treatment will ask of you. If anything needs attention first, you will hear it here.

2. iTero 3D scan and your smile preview

Instead of messy impressions, the iTero digital scanner builds a 3D model of your teeth. Dr. Rouhani uses it to plan each movement, decide where attachments are needed and show you a projected result on screen before you begin.

3. Your first aligners

You receive your first set with clear instructions on wear time, cleaning and switching. Most people change to a new set every one to two weeks, as the plan specifies.

4. Progress check-ins and refinements

Teeth do not always move exactly as predicted. Regular check-ins catch tracking issues early, and the plan is refined if needed.

5. Retainers that keep your result

Once your teeth are in place, a retainer keeps them there. It is the step that protects everything you have invested.

How long it takes, and the wear rules that matter

Many cases take between 6 and 24 months. Minor alignment can finish sooner; bite correction and larger movements take longer. Your scan-based plan gives you your own timeline. What keeps you on it:

• Wear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush.
• Brush before putting aligners back in, so food and sugar are not trapped against your teeth.
• Switch to the next set on schedule and keep your check-ins, even when things look fine.
• Lost or cracked an aligner? Call the office quickly rather than waiting.

Invisalign Teen

Clio Dental Studio also offers Invisalign Teen. It uses the same clear-aligner approach, planned for a growing smile, so teens can straighten their teeth without brackets and keep playing sports and eating normally. The same wear rules apply, and check-ins let parents and the practice keep treatment on track.

Ways to pay for Invisalign

Every fee is based on your scan-based plan, so the complimentary consultation is where you get your exact number. What changes it: how complex the movement is, how long treatment runs, how many aligners and refinements you need, and retention. To make it manageable:

• PPO insurance The practice accepts most major PPO plans. Some include orthodontic benefits, and the team verifies yours and gives you a written breakdown.
• Monthly payments Financing through Cherry, Alphaeon Credit and Sunbit. See payment plans and financing.
• No insurance? The Clio Care Plan, the practice's in-house membership, includes 15% off procedures. See the dental membership plan.

Pairing Invisalign with whitening or veneers

Aligning first often makes the next step easier. Many patients whiten after treatment so the shade is even across newly positioned teeth (teeth whitening), and straightening before veneers can reduce how much tooth needs to be adjusted.
