Invisalign Treatment - San Rafael, CA

Lanphier Family Dentistry provides expert  San Rafael Invisalign treatment to discreetly straighten teeth and transform smiles for patients across San Rafael, Novato, Larkspur, Corte Madera, and Marin County. As a trusted Invisalign provider, our practice combines decades of family-focused dental care with cutting-edge clear aligner technology to deliver personalized, comfortable orthodontic solutions.

Why Choose Invisalign®?

Invisalign offers a modern alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. These medical-grade plastic trays are virtually invisible, removable for eating and oral hygiene, and designed for minimal disruption to daily life. Clinical studies show Invisalign can address over 90% of orthodontic cases, including crowding, gaps, overbites, and crossbites, with treatment times often comparable to braces.

Unlike metal brackets, Invisalign aligners apply gentle, continuous pressure without irritating gums or cheeks. Patients typically switch to new trays every 1–2 weeks, with progress monitored through advanced 3D digital scans. This approach not only enhances comfort but also allows adults and responsible teens to maintain professional and social confidence during treatment.

Why Trust Lanphier Family Dentistry for Invisalign?

70 Years of Marin County Dental Excellence

Since 1955, our practice has been a cornerstone of San Rafael’s dental community, earning recognition for compassionate, patient-centered care. Dr. Rita Lanphier leads a team certified in Invisalign techniques, offering tailored treatment plans for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic solutions.

Advanced Technology for Precision Results

We utilize iTero® digital scanners to create precise 3D models of your teeth, enabling us to map your entire treatment timeline from initial misalignment to final smile. This technology ensures aligners fit snugly and move teeth predictably, often reducing treatment duration compared to older methods.

Personalized Care for All Ages

We prioritize comfort and transparency, offering:

• Free Invisalign consultations with digital smile previews
• Flexible scheduling for busy professionals and families
• Insurance coordination to maximize orthodontic benefits
• Complimentary teeth whitening after treatment completion

Our San Rafael Invisalign Process

• Initial Invisalign Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll discuss your smile goals, assess your orthodontic needs, and determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you. We will take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced scanning technology.
• Customized Treatment Plan: Using the 3D images, we will map out a precise, step-by-step treatment plan. You'll be able to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.
• Receiving Your Custom Aligners: Once your custom aligners are fabricated, you'll receive a series of sets. You will wear each set for about 1-2 weeks, as prescribed by your dentist, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• Progress Check-ups: You'll visit Lanphier Family Dentistry periodically (typically every 6-8 weeks) so we can monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners.
• Revealing Your New Smile: After completing your series of aligners, you’ll have the beautiful, straight smile you’ve desired. We will then provide you with retainers to ensure your teeth maintain their new position.

FAQs About Invisalign

Is Invisalign painful?

Most patients experience mild pressure when starting new trays, far less discomfort than traditional braces.

Can Invisalign fix severe crowding?

Yes. For complex cases, we may combine aligners with minor enamel contouring or temporary anchorage devices for optimal results.

How long must I wear aligners daily?

22 hours per day is ideal, but our team works with busy schedules to create realistic plans.
