Why you’re here

Clear aligners, without the guesswork

Most people arrive with the same two questions. Will anyone notice, and will it actually work on my bite. Aligners are a series of clear trays, each one moving teeth a small amount, worn in an order that is set out before treatment starts. Some bites suit them well and some are better in brackets, and you should be told which yours is before you pay for anything.

What is different here

Who plans your aligners, and what that changes

  • Board-certified orthodontist, DMD, MSD. Dr. Romans’s specialty research was on Invisalign treatment outcomes.
  • A digital scan, not impression trays. No putty, and the scan is the same file the plan is built from.
  • The whole tray sequence is planned first. You see where treatment is going before the first aligner goes in, not week by week.
  • One orthodontist, start to finish. The person who plans the case is the person at every check and the person who finishes it.
  • Attachments, refinements and retainers are covered at the consultation, before you commit to anything.

What to expect

Aligner checks that fit a working week

Checks are short and they are with Dr. Romans, not with whoever is free that day. Suite D120 is at street level on W. Anthem Way with reserved parking outside, so a ten minute tray check takes about ten minutes door to door. Major PPO plans are verified while you sit there rather than mailed to you afterward, and questions get answered in plain language.

Meet your orthodontist

The same orthodontist at every aligner check.

Dr. Nicholas Romans opened this practice in Anthem and treats every patient in it himself, from the first scan through to the last retainer check.

Aligner treatment lives or dies on the plan behind it, so the person who writes that plan is the person you sit with at every check. Dr. Romans owns this practice outright, which is why the answer to “who is actually treating me” stays the same from the first scan to the last tray.

We had a great consultation with Dr Romans. He was thorough and kind. My daughter felt really comfortable and we thought his treatment plan was solid and fairly priced.

Questions

Clear aligner questions, answered straight.

How much does Invisalign cost in Anthem?
It depends on the case, so the honest answer is that you get an exact figure at the consultation and the consultation is free. Cost tracks how far the teeth have to move and how long treatment runs. Major PPO plans are checked while you sit there, and remaining balances can be financed in house.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For many bites, yes. Aligners move teeth predictably when they are worn as prescribed and the sequence is planned properly. Some corrections, particularly large rotations and bite changes, are still handled better by brackets. Dr. Romans will tell you at the consultation which one your bite actually calls for.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases run somewhere between several months and a couple of years, and your own range is set once the plan is built. Simple crowding finishes faster than a bite correction. Because the full tray sequence is mapped before you start, you get a realistic finish window rather than a rolling estimate.
How many hours a day do I have to wear them?
Around twenty two hours a day, which means you take them out to eat and to brush and put them straight back in. Wear time is the single biggest reason aligner cases finish on schedule or drift. If that sounds unrealistic for your week, say so at the consultation.
Can my teenager use clear aligners?
Often, yes. The deciding factor is usually wear time rather than age, so the consultation covers what compliance looks like at home before anyone commits. Growing mouths also need the plan checked against teeth that are still arriving. If brackets suit the case better, we will say that.
Does insurance cover clear aligners?
Many major PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit, and aligners are usually treated the same as braces under it. Your plan is verified during the visit rather than mailed to you as an estimate later. FSA and HSA funds apply, and anything left over can be financed in house.
