If you are considering Invisalign and you live anywhere near Summerlin, you are not alone. Clear aligner therapy is the most-requested cosmetic treatment at Summerlin Dental Solutions, and the questions our patients ask before starting are remarkably consistent. They want to know what it costs, whether it will actually work for their situation, how it fits into their Las Vegas lifestyle, and whether the result will look natural.
Dr. Marianne Cohan has been providing Invisalign to Summerlin, Henderson, Spring Valley, and Las Vegas Valley patients for years—and she hears the same ten questions in nearly every consultation. Here are those questions, answered with the honesty and detail you deserve before making this investment in your smile.

Why Invisalign Makes Particular Sense for Las Vegas Residents
Before diving into the top ten questions, it is worth understanding why Invisalign is especially well-suited to life in the Las Vegas Valley.
Appearance matters in a hospitality-driven economy. Hundreds of thousands of Las Vegas residents work in roles where they are face-to-face with customers, guests, and colleagues every day, in casinos, restaurants, hotels, real estate, healthcare, and entertainment. Traditional metal braces are conspicuous. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing during a six-month treatment window. For professionals whose smile is part of their livelihood, that distinction is significant.
Hydration habits align naturally with aligner care. Las Vegas residents already carry water bottles everywhere because the desert demands it. Since water is the only beverage you should drink with aligners in place, the habit most people struggle to build is one that Las Vegas residents already have. Remove the aligners for your morning coffee, rinse, reinsert, and sip water the rest of the day. The desert lifestyle makes this effortless.
Straight teeth are easier to protect from dry-climate damage. Crowded, overlapping teeth create tight spaces where bacteria accumulate and brushing cannot reach. In a climate that already reduces saliva and accelerates decay, those bacterial pockets become high-risk zones for cavities and gum disease. Straightening teeth with Invisalign eliminates those traps, making daily hygiene more effective and your teeth more resilient against the desert’s drying effects.
1. How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Summerlin?
Invisalign at Summerlin Dental Solutions typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on the complexity of your case. Minor spacing corrections cost less; complex bite corrections with significant crowding cost more. Our current promotion offers $500 off new cases. CareCredit financing at 0% interest for 12 months is available, which means a mid-range case of $4,800 costs approximately $400 per month with no interest. Some dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits contribute $1,000 to $3,000 toward Invisalign. Visit our financing page or insurance page for details.
2. How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Most cases complete in 6 to 18 months. Minor cosmetic corrections, small gaps, slight crowding, can finish in as few as 3 months. More complex cases involving bite correction may require 18 to 24 months. Dr. Cohan provides a specific timeline during your consultation after capturing a 3D scan with the TRIOS® digital scanner and running the case through smile design software that shows you the projected movement sequence from start to finish.
3. Does Invisalign Actually Work for Adults?
Yes, and adults are Invisalign’s largest demographic. There is no upper age limit. Dr. Cohan regularly treats patients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. The only requirements are reasonably healthy teeth and gums. If you have active gum disease or untreated decay, those issues are addressed first with deep teeth cleaning or fillings before Invisalign begins. The alignment itself works identically in adults as it does in teenagers.

4. Will Anyone Notice I’m Wearing Invisalign?
From normal conversational distance, no. The aligners are made from clear, medical-grade SmartTrack thermoplastic that fits flush against your teeth. There are no metal wires, no brackets, and no bands. Las Vegas professionals, dealers, servers, real estate agents, healthcare workers, executives, choose Invisalign specifically because it is invisible in the environments where they interact with people every day.
5. Can I Eat and Drink Normally During Treatment?
You can eat anything you want, because the aligners come out before every meal. This is a major advantage over traditional braces, which restrict hard, sticky, and crunchy foods for the entire treatment duration. Remove the aligners, eat, brush or rinse, and reinsert. In Las Vegas, the one behavioral adjustment most patients mention is removing aligners before drinking coffee, cocktails, or anything other than water, hot beverages can warp the aligners, and colored drinks will stain them.
6. Is Invisalign Painful?
Each new set of aligners creates mild pressure as it moves your teeth into the next position. Most patients describe this as tightness or mild soreness for the first two to three days of a new tray. It is noticeably less discomfort than traditional braces produce after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief handles it for the few patients who need it. By the fourth or fifth tray, most patients are fully accustomed to the sensation and barely notice the transition to new aligners.
7. What Can Invisalign Fix?
Modern Invisalign treats a much broader range of cases than most people expect: crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and midline misalignment. Dr. Cohan uses 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate your jaw structure and tooth roots, not just the visible crowns, before determining whether Invisalign alone can achieve the ideal result or whether a combination approach is more appropriate. Some cases may benefit from finishing with veneers or teeth contouring for the most refined aesthetic outcome.

8. How Is Invisalign at Summerlin Dental Solutions Different from Mail-Order Aligners?
Mail-order aligners (like SmileDirectClub and similar brands) create trays from a self-administered impression kit or a brief retail-store scan. No dentist examines your teeth, gums, roots, or bone structure before treatment begins. No 3D CBCT imaging is taken. No one checks for cavities, gum disease, or bone loss that could make tooth movement dangerous.
At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan performs a comprehensive evaluation before your case begins—including 3D imaging, AI-assisted radiology, gum health assessment, and a full review of your dental history. Your progress is monitored at regular in-office visits. If a tooth is not tracking correctly, adjustments are made immediately rather than discovered months later. The difference is supervised medical treatment versus unsupervised cosmetic guesswork.
9. Can I Combine Invisalign with Other Cosmetic Work?
Yes, and this is one of the smartest approaches to a complete smile transformation. Many patients at Summerlin Dental Solutions use Invisalign as the first phase of a broader plan that includes veneers, teeth contouring, anti-aging dentistry, or a comprehensive smile makeover. Aligning teeth first often means fewer veneers are needed and less natural tooth structure is removed, resulting in a more conservative, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking result.

Treatment begins with a 3D TRIOS scan, no messy impressions, and smile design software lets you preview your result before committing. Call (702) 341-9160 or book a free virtual consultation to get started. |
| Q2: How much does Invisalign cost in the Summerlin area?
Invisalign at Summerlin Dental Solutions typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on case complexity, and our current promotion offers $500 off new cases. CareCredit financing with 0% interest for 12 months is available, making treatment as affordable as $250 to $583 per month. Some dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage contribute $1,000 to $3,000 toward the cost. |
| Q3: Am I too old for Invisalign?
No. Invisalign works for adults of all ages as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Many of Dr. Cohan’s Invisalign patients are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s—adults who want straighter teeth without the look of traditional braces. In fact, adults are Invisalign’s largest patient demographic. There is no upper age limit. |
| Q4: Does Invisalign work for severe crowding or bite issues?
Modern Invisalign treats a much wider range of cases than early versions could. Dr. Cohan uses Invisalign to correct crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. During your consultation, she evaluates your specific case with 3D imaging and determines whether Invisalign alone can achieve the desired result or whether a combination approach would be more effective. |
| Q5: How long does Invisalign treatment take in Las Vegas?
Most cases complete in 6 to 18 months, though minor corrections can finish in as few as 3 months. Treatment length depends on complexity. Dr. Cohan provides a personalized timeline during your consultation after reviewing your 3D scan. Las Vegas patients should note that consistent aligner wear and staying hydrated in the desert, are both important for keeping treatment on schedule. |
| Q6: Can I drink coffee or wine with Invisalign aligners in?
You should remove your aligners before drinking anything other than room-temperature or cool water. Hot beverages can warp the aligner material, and coffee, tea, and red wine will stain them. In Las Vegas, where most people carry water bottles everywhere due to the heat, getting into the habit of removing aligners for drinks and rinsing before reinserting is straightforward once it becomes routine. |
| Q7: Will people notice I’m wearing Invisalign?
In most situations, no. Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade thermoplastic that fits snugly against your teeth. From a normal conversational distance, they are essentially invisible. This is one of the primary reasons Las Vegas professionals, hospitality workers, entertainers, real estate agents, and executives who interact face-to-face daily, choose Invisalign over traditional braces. |
| Q8: Does dental insurance cover Invisalign in Nevada?
Some dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits cover a portion of Invisalign treatment, typically $1,000 to $3,000 toward the total cost. Many standard dental plans do not include orthodontic coverage. Our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment begins. For the remaining balance, CareCredit at 0% interest for 12 months is available. |
| Q9: What happens after Invisalign treatment is complete?
You will wear retainers to maintain your results, this is true of any orthodontic treatment. Dr. Cohan provides custom retainers fabricated from your final 3D scan. Most patients wear retainers nightly for the first year and then transition to several nights per week long-term. Without retainers, teeth naturally tend to shift back toward their original positions over time. |
| Q10: Can I combine Invisalign with other cosmetic treatments at Summerlin Dental Solutions?
Yes. Many patients use Invisalign as the foundation for a broader smile transformation. Once teeth are properly aligned, Dr. Cohan can refine the result with veneers, teeth contouring, whitening, or anti-aging dentistry. Aligning teeth first often means fewer veneers are needed and less tooth structure must be removed, resulting in a more conservative and natural-looking outcome. |
