If you want a straighter smile without anyone noticing the process, Invisalign® may be your answer. These clear, removable aligners let you eat what you love, brush and floss normally, and straighten your teeth discreetly - which is why they’re so popular with Kent teens and adults alike. At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, you’re not just getting aligners; you’re getting the expertise of a board-certified orthodontist and Diamond Apex Invisalign Provider, Dr. Gabriela Aragon, who has guided hundreds of patients to confident new smiles. Here’s everything you need to know about Invisalign in Kent.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign straightens your teeth with a custom-made series of clear plastic aligners. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks, then swapped for the next in the series, gradually moving your teeth into place. The process starts with a digital iTero® scan - no messy putty impressions - which Dr. Aragon uses to map your entire treatment from start to finish. You’ll wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Invisalign Options at Advanced Orthodontics Kent
Invisalign isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on your age and needs, Dr. Aragon may recommend:
- Invisalign for Adults - discreet treatment that fits a professional, busy life.
- Invisalign Teen® - designed for teenagers, with features like compliance indicators and built-in room for growing teeth.
- Invisalign First® - early-treatment aligners for younger children who aren’t ready for comprehensive care.
As a Diamond Apex Provider, our practice has the case volume and experience to treat everything from simple spacing to more complex bites with clear aligners.

Invisalign vs. Braces - Which Should You Choose?
Invisalign and braces often deliver comparable results; the right choice depends on your case and lifestyle. Invisalign is removable and nearly invisible, which many adults and teens prefer - but it requires the discipline to wear the aligners 20+ hours a day. Fixed braces may be the better fit for very complex cases or younger patients. Dr. Aragon will give you an honest recommendation at your consultation.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Kent?
Invisalign and braces fall in a similar range - comprehensive treatment at Advanced Orthodontics Kent starts at $6,000 - with no-interest payment plans (from $150 down and $150 a month) and most PPO insurance accepted. See our Invisalign cost page and financing options for the full picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, though simple cases can finish sooner and complex ones take longer. Wearing your aligners 20-22 hours a day keeps you on schedule.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For most cases, yes. Invisalign can treat a wide range of alignment and bite issues, especially in the hands of an experienced Diamond Apex Provider. Very complex cases may still be better suited to braces - Dr. Aragon will tell you honestly which is right for you.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than braces, with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when you switch to a new set of aligners - a sign they’re working.
Can teenagers get Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for teenagers, with compliance indicators and accommodations for erupting teeth. It’s a popular choice for Kent teens who play sports or instruments.
Will my insurance cover Invisalign?
If your dental plan includes orthodontic benefits, Invisalign is typically covered just like braces. We accept most PPO plans and will review your coverage with you.
