What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that straightens teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays. Worn over your teeth, each set gently guides them into better alignment, with no metal brackets or wires. The smooth, removable aligners are nearly invisible and let you eat, brush, and floss just as you normally would. At Lava Dental, we use digital planning to map your entire treatment, so you can see the results before you even begin.
What Happens During Invisalign Treatment?
- 01
Warm Welcome
A friendly team member greets you by name and helps you settle comfortably into the chair, with time to ask questions before we begin.
- 02
Digital Scan
We capture a precise 3D scan of your teeth, with no messy molds, to design your custom aligner treatment plan.
- 03
Custom Plan
Your dentist maps out each stage of your treatment, and you can preview how your smile will look when you're done.
- 04
Wear Your Aligners
You'll wear each set of aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to the next set every week or two.
- 05
Reveal & Retain
Once your teeth are beautifully aligned, we provide a retainer to keep your new smile looking its best.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign offers teens a discreet, flexible alternative to traditional braces that fits busy school and social lives. Designed with growing smiles in mind, it lets teens straighten their teeth without the look or hassle of metal brackets.
Discreet & Confident
Clear aligners let teens straighten their teeth without the self-consciousness that metal braces can bring.
No Food Limits
Because aligners come out for meals, teens can keep enjoying their favorite foods with no off-limits snacks.
Easy Hygiene
Removable aligners make brushing and flossing simple, helping teens keep their teeth healthy throughout treatment.
Fewer Disruptions
With fewer visits and no brackets to break, Invisalign fits easily around school, sports, and activities.
Invisalign for Adults
More adults than ever are choosing Invisalign in Northwest Houston, TX, to straighten their smiles without anyone noticing. Whether you're advancing your career or simply want a smile you love, clear aligners offer a subtle, convenient path to straighter teeth.
Virtually Invisible
Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth discreetly, ideal for professional settings and everyday confidence.
Comfortable & Removable
Smooth, custom-fit aligners are easy to remove for meals, meetings, and special occasions.
Fits Your Lifestyle
With fewer appointments and no dietary restrictions, Invisalign works around a busy adult schedule.
Corrects Old Issues
Invisalign can fix crowding, gaps, or shifting that's developed over the years, even if you had braces before.
Technology That Changes Everything
Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
For more complex cases, cone beam imaging gives us a 3D view of your teeth, roots, and jaw, helping us confirm Invisalign is the right fit and plan your tooth movement accurately, with low radiation.
Digital X-Rays
Quick digital X-rays confirm your teeth and roots are healthy and well-positioned for aligner treatment, displaying instantly on screen with very little radiation.
3D Digital Scanning
A quick digital scan replaces goopy molds entirely, creating the precise 3D model used to design your custom aligners and even preview your finished smile.
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera lets us show you your teeth up close on screen, making it easy to see what Invisalign will improve and follow your progress.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.
