Your Trusted Santa Fe Invisalign Dentist

For most adult patients, Invisalign offers a more comfortable, discreet, and manageable experience than traditional braces. The aligners are removable, so eating and oral hygiene stay simple. There are no brackets or wires to irritate your gums or cheeks. And because they're clear, most people won't even notice you're in treatment. That said, the right choice depends on your specific alignment needs — Dr. Kasha will help you understand which option makes the most sense for your case.

At Milagro Dental, Invisalign is offered at a flat fee of $3,850 — no hidden costs, no per-appointment add-ons. This includes your full treatment plan, custom aligners, and check-ins throughout your treatment. If you're paying out of pocket, we offer financing through CareCredit and Wisetack to make the investment manageable.

In many cases, yes. Crowns and veneers don't automatically disqualify you from Invisalign treatment, though they may affect how attachments are placed or how aligners fit. Dr. Kasha will evaluate your specific restorations during your consultation and let you know whether Invisalign is a good fit and how to plan treatment around existing dental work.

Attachments are small tooth-colored dots of composite resin bonded to certain teeth to help the aligners move teeth more precisely. They blend in with your tooth color and aren't obvious from a distance, though they are slightly more noticeable than the clear aligners alone. Not every patient needs attachments; it depends on the complexity of your case.

Yes. Invisalign Teen is designed for younger patients whose teeth and jaws are still developing. It includes compliance indicators (small blue dots that fade with wear) so parents can gauge how consistently the aligners are being used, and replacement aligners for ones that are lost or damaged. We'll assess whether a teen is a good candidate based on their age, tooth development, and ability to commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day.

Yes, retainers are an essential part of keeping your results. After your final aligner, we'll fit you for a retainer to hold your teeth in their new position. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift over time, and wearing your retainer as directed protects the investment you've made. Most patients wear their retainer nightly long-term.

Invisalign aligners work best when worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss. The discipline of consistent wear is the most important factor in keeping your treatment on schedule.

Most patients notice a very slight adjustment period of a few days when they first start, especially with certain sounds like "s" or "th." This typically resolves quickly as your tongue and lips adapt to the aligners. Most people won't notice any change in your speech after the first week.

Invisalign can address many bite issues, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, depending on the severity. Dr. Kasha takes a functional approach to Invisalign planning. She looks at how your bite comes together and how jaw forces are distributed, not just how teeth look. If your case is complex, she'll let you know whether Invisalign is the right primary solution or whether a combined approach makes more sense.
