Straighter teeth, a healthier bite, and a more confident smile – without a single metal bracket. Anderson Smile Center brings you Invisalign with the iTero Lumina scanner, flexible financing starting as low as $99/month, and a free scan to get you started.
FREE iTero Lumina 3D Scan – No Obligation
Financing as Low as $99/Month
See Your New Smile Before You Start
Honestly, the question we hear most often is: “Am I too old for Invisalign?” The answer is almost always no. Whether you’re 22 or 62, whether you had braces as a teenager and your teeth have shifted, or whether you’ve been self-conscious about your smile your entire adult life – Invisalign is likely a viable path forward. And at Anderson Smile Center, we’ve built our Invisalign program around making that path as easy, affordable, and transparent as possible.
We use the iTero Lumina – the latest generation of Align Technology’s intraoral scanner – to take a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in minutes. No putty. No gagging. No waiting. That scan feeds directly into Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, which lets us map every single tooth movement and show you a digital simulation of your results before you commit to a single tray. You’ll see your future smile at your first appointment.
And here’s the thing about cost – it shouldn’t be the reason you don’t do this. We offer flexible financing starting as low as $99 per month, we accept most major PPO insurance plans, and we’ll verify your orthodontic benefits before your consultation so there are no surprises. Our team at 7815 Beechmont Ave serves patients from Anderson Township, Hyde Park, Amelia, Newtown, Cherry Grove, Fairfax, Milford, Batavia, Mariemont, and Indian Hill – and we’d love to help you get started.
The truth is: Invisalign isn’t just about straightening teeth. A properly aligned bite reduces gum disease risk, prevents enamel wear, relieves TMJ pressure, and – as research increasingly shows – may lower the risk of systemic health complications linked to chronic oral inflammation. Straightening your teeth is one of the most impactful health investments you can make.
Here is everything you need to know before your consultation – the key facts, the timeline, and what makes our program at Anderson Smile Center different from what you’ll find elsewhere in Cincinnati.
Anderson Smile Center – Invisalign Program
Let me explain why the iTero Lumina matters – not just as a piece of technology, but as a direct benefit to you as a patient. Traditional orthodontic impressions involved trays of thick putty that you had to bite down on and hold in your mouth for several minutes. They were uncomfortable, often triggered a gag reflex, and produced models that were less precise than modern digital alternatives.
The iTero Lumina uses a slim, handheld wand that captures thousands of images per second to build a precise, color-accurate 3D model of your teeth in just a few minutes. You sit comfortably in the chair. There’s nothing to bite down on. The scan is done before you know it.
But here’s what makes it genuinely exciting: that 3D model feeds directly into Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, which maps every tooth movement across your entire treatment plan. You’ll see a digital simulation of your final result at your first appointment – before you start wearing a single aligner. No guesswork. No surprises. Just a clear, predictable path to the smile you’ve been thinking about.
Your free iTero Lumina scan is included with your consultation at Anderson Smile Center. No obligation, no pressure, no cost.
Captures thousands of data points per second for a precise model that traditional impressions cannot match.
The Invisalign Outcome Simulator shows you a digital preview of your post-treatment smile before you commit.
No putty, no gagging, no discomfort. The scan is fast, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.
You know what most people don’t realize? Straightening your teeth is one of the most impactful health decisions you can make – not just for your smile, but for your whole body. The research on this has become increasingly clear over the past decade, and it’s something we take seriously at Anderson Smile Center.
Misaligned teeth are fundamentally harder to clean. Crowded teeth create overlapping surfaces where your toothbrush and floss can’t reach. Gaps create pockets where bacteria accumulate. Both scenarios accelerate the development of gum disease – and gum disease is not just a dental problem.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have linked chronic periodontal (gum) disease to significantly elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes complications, respiratory infections, and adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth. The inflammatory pathway is the same: chronic bacterial infection in the gum tissue triggers systemic inflammation that affects the entire body.
Correcting your alignment with Invisalign makes your teeth dramatically easier to clean – which reduces bacterial load, reduces inflammation, and reduces the downstream health risks associated with chronic gum disease. That’s a real, measurable health benefit that goes well beyond aesthetics.
Research published in the Journal of Periodontology has found that people with gum disease are 2-3 times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. The bacteria from infected gum tissue can enter the bloodstream and contribute to arterial inflammation. Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean – which means less bacterial load and less systemic inflammation.
The relationship between gum disease and diabetes runs in both directions. Uncontrolled diabetes makes gum disease worse; severe gum disease makes blood sugar harder to control. For patients managing Type 2 diabetes, improving oral hygiene through better alignment can be a meaningful part of overall glucose management.
A misaligned bite places uneven force on your jaw joint (TMJ) every time you chew, speak, or clench. Over time, this chronic stress causes wear on the joint disc, leading to clicking, popping, jaw pain, and headaches. Invisalign corrects the bite relationship, distributing force evenly and reducing TMJ strain – often eliminating symptoms patients have had for years.
Crowded or misaligned teeth create contact points where teeth rub against each other abnormally. This accelerates enamel wear at a rate far faster than normal chewing would cause. Once enamel is gone, it doesn’t grow back. Correcting alignment eliminates these destructive contact points and preserves your natural tooth structure for decades longer.
Many patients assume clear aligners are only for mild cosmetic issues. The truth is, modern Invisalign with SmartForce attachments can correct complex bite problems that previously required metal braces – and in some cases, surgery.
When your jaw doesn’t have enough room for all your teeth, they bunch up, overlap, and twist. Beyond looking crooked, crowded teeth create hiding spots where your toothbrush can’t reach – leading to cavities and gum disease. Invisalign gently expands the arch and guides each tooth into its ideal position.
Extra space between teeth leaves your gums exposed and vulnerable to periodontal disease. Clear aligners systematically close these spaces, creating a tight, protective, and uniform smile. Patients are often surprised by how much the closure improves both the look and health of their gums.
A misaligned bite causes uneven wear on your enamel and puts chronic strain on your jaw joint. Invisalign – often paired with subtle tooth-colored attachments – can successfully shift the jaw and teeth into a healthy, comfortable resting alignment, reducing TMJ symptoms and protecting your enamel.
When upper and lower front teeth don’t meet when biting down, it creates difficulty chewing and speech issues. Invisalign with precision attachments effectively corrects open bites that once required surgery or complex appliances – and does so comfortably and discreetly.
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. Left untreated, it causes uneven tooth wear, gum recession, and bone loss. Invisalign’s precise digital planning corrects crossbites predictably and comfortably – without the discomfort of traditional expanders or braces.
Teeth that have shifted back after previous orthodontic treatment are one of the most common cases we see at Anderson Smile Center. Invisalign is an ideal, discreet solution to re-align teeth without going through metal braces again – and most relapse cases are completed faster than original treatment.
Here’s one of our patients’ favorite moments in the entire Invisalign process – and it happens at the very first appointment. After your free iTero Lumina scan, we use Invisalign’s ClinCheck software to map every tooth movement across your treatment plan. Then we show you the result.
You’ll see a side-by-side digital simulation of your current teeth and your projected final result. Every tooth movement is planned and visible. The timeline is clear. The outcome is predictable. There’s no guesswork, no “let’s see how it goes” – just a precise digital roadmap from where you are now to where you want to be.
This is what separates Invisalign from mail-order aligner brands and from traditional braces. You know exactly what you’re getting before you start. And if you want to adjust the plan – maybe you want a little more correction in one area, or you want to discuss the timeline – we do that before a single aligner is made.
We get this question every single day. For the vast majority of our adult and teen patients in Anderson Township and Cincinnati, the answer leans heavily toward clear aligners. Here’s why.

Wondering what to expect? The process is remarkably straightforward, completely comfortable, and powered by the most advanced digital technology in dentistry. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to your final result.
You’ll meet with one of our certified Invisalign providers – Dr. Atul Deshmukh, or Dr. Aakriti Chaudhry – to discuss your smile goals. We’ll examine your bite, review your dental history, and confirm whether Invisalign is the right clinical choice for your specific needs. No pressure, no obligation.
No messy putty impressions. We use the iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanner to capture a precise, color-accurate 3D model of your teeth in just a few minutes. It’s comfortable, fast, and incredibly accurate – and it’s completely free as part of your consultation at Anderson Smile Center.
Using Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, we map out every precise tooth movement across your entire treatment plan. You’ll see a digital simulation of your future smile before you commit to a single tray. This is one of our patients’ favorite moments – and it’s the moment most people decide to move forward.
Your custom-fabricated aligners are made from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack material – a smooth, flexible plastic that’s far more comfortable than metal brackets. Wear them for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, brush, and floss. Switch to a new tray every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift.
Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll come in for a quick progress check. We confirm your teeth are tracking perfectly with the digital plan, answer any questions, and hand you your next sets of aligners. These appointments are brief – most take under 30 minutes – and can often be scheduled around your work or school schedule.
When your last aligner is complete, we do a final review to confirm your result matches the digital plan. We then fit you with custom retainers to maintain your new alignment – because teeth have a natural tendency to shift back without retention. Wearing your retainers as directed is the last step in protecting your investment.
See your future smile in 3D before you commit to anything. Book your free consultation and scan today – no obligation, no pressure.
Let me be direct about this: the cost of Invisalign should not be the reason you don’t do something that will genuinely improve your health and your confidence. That’s why we’ve built a financing program that makes treatment accessible for almost any budget.
Through CareCredit and other financing partners, we offer flexible payment plans with promotional 0% interest periods – meaning you can start your treatment now and pay over time in manageable monthly installments starting as low as $99 per month. Our front desk team will walk you through every option clearly before your first appointment.
We also accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, and many plans that include orthodontic benefits will cover a portion of Invisalign – typically the same amount they would cover for traditional braces. We’ll verify your benefits before your consultation so you know exactly what’s covered and what your out-of-pocket cost will be.
*$99/month financing subject to credit approval through CareCredit. Promotional terms vary. Ask our team for details.
Every Invisalign case at Anderson Smile Center is overseen by a licensed, trained dentist – not a remote reviewer, not an algorithm. Here are the doctors who will design and monitor your treatment.
Associate Dentist – Invisalign & Cosmetic Specialist
Dr. Chaudhry specializes in cosmetic and orthodontic dentistry with a particular focus on Invisalign treatment planning. She works closely with each patient to design treatment plans that address both the cosmetic and functional aspects of alignment – ensuring that the final result is not just beautiful, but genuinely healthier for the patient’s long-term oral and systemic wellbeing.
Associate Dentist – Restorative & Orthodontic Dentistry
Dr. Deshmukh approaches Invisalign from a restorative perspective – understanding that alignment correction often works in concert with other dental treatments. For patients who need both Invisalign and restorative work, his integrated treatment planning ensures that both goals are achieved efficiently and in the right sequence for the best long-term outcome.
Real words from real patients who trusted Anderson Smile Center with their Invisalign treatment.
“I’d been thinking about Invisalign for years but kept putting it off because of the cost. The team at Anderson Smile Center walked me through the financing options and I ended up with a payment that fit my budget easily. The iTero scan was incredible – seeing my projected result on the screen before I even started made the whole decision so much easier. Fourteen months later and I genuinely can’t believe how different my smile looks.”
“I had braces as a teenager and my teeth had shifted significantly over the years. Dr. Nguyen told me upfront that my case was moderate complexity and gave me a realistic timeline. The digital preview was spot-on – my final result matched almost exactly what the software showed me at the first appointment. The iTero Lumina scan was so much better than the old putty impressions I remembered from my braces days.”
“What sold me was the functional health explanation. Dr. Chaudhry spent real time explaining how my crowded teeth were contributing to my gum issues and how correcting the alignment would make everything easier to keep clean. She was right – my gum health has improved noticeably since completing treatment. I came in for a straighter smile and got a genuinely healthier mouth. That’s more than I expected.”

Yes – and this is one of the most important things to understand about Invisalign. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease. Gum disease has been linked in multiple studies to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and preterm birth. A misaligned bite also creates uneven force distribution across your teeth, accelerating enamel wear and putting chronic stress on your TMJ (jaw joint), which can cause headaches and jaw pain. Correcting your alignment with Invisalign addresses all of these issues at the root – making it a genuine health investment, not just a cosmetic one.
Most adult Invisalign cases at Anderson Smile Center are completed in 12 to 18 months. Mild cases can be finished in as few as 6 months. The timeline depends on the complexity of your bite and alignment issues and how consistently you wear your aligners – Invisalign requires 20 to 22 hours of wear per day for optimal results. We will give you a precise treatment timeline estimate at your free consultation after reviewing your iTero Lumina scan.
Most patients experience mild pressure or soreness for the first day or two after switching to a new set of aligners. This is completely normal – it means the aligners are working and your teeth are moving. The discomfort is significantly less than the soreness associated with traditional braces tightening. Over-the-counter pain relievers and switching to new aligners at night can minimize any discomfort. Most patients adapt quickly and find the aligners comfortable to wear throughout the day.
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits will cover a portion of Invisalign treatment – typically the same amount they would cover for traditional braces. At Anderson Smile Center, we accept most major PPO insurance plans and will verify your orthodontic benefits before your consultation so you know exactly what is covered. We also offer CareCredit financing with promotional 0% interest periods for the remaining balance, with payments starting as low as $99 per month.
Yes. Modern Invisalign with SmartForce attachments can correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites that previously required metal braces or even surgery. Correcting your bite is not just cosmetic – it reduces TMJ stress, prevents uneven enamel wear, and improves chewing function. At Anderson Smile Center, we assess your full bite during your free consultation to determine whether Invisalign can address your specific bite issues and create a healthier, more functional occlusion.
Invisalign is the original and most clinically proven clear aligner system, with over 15 million patients treated worldwide. It uses proprietary SmartTrack material for more predictable tooth movement and is backed by decades of clinical research. Most importantly, Invisalign treatment at Anderson Smile Center is overseen by a licensed dentist who monitors your bite, root health, and gum tissue throughout treatment. Mail-order aligner brands lack in-person clinical oversight – which means bite issues, root resorption, and gum recession can develop undetected. We strongly advise against mail-order aligners for this reason.
Anderson Smile Center is located at 7815 Beechmont Ave in Cincinnati, OH 45255 – right in the heart of Anderson Township, easily accessible from Amelia, Newtown, Cherry Grove, and the broader Greater Cincinnati area. We welcome Invisalign patients from across the region who are looking for certified providers with the latest technology and flexible financing.
Invisalign is one part of a complete, healthy smile. Anderson Smile Center offers a full range of cosmetic and restorative services to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
