Invisalign® in Sunnyvale, CA
Discreet clear aligners that straighten teeth without metal braces.

Straighter Teeth—No Brackets, No Wires
If you’ve been putting off orthodontic treatment because of bulky metal braces, Invisalign® offers a clear, convenient alternative. At Harmony Smile Dental in Sunnyvale, we provide custom Invisalign treatment plans designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle—discreet, removable, and results-driven.
Dr. Ryan Zhao and our team take a personalized approach to smile alignment, using advanced digital scanning technology to deliver precise outcomes with maximum comfort. Whether you're addressing crowding, gaps, or bite issues, Invisalign can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile—without the visibility of traditional braces.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is one of the most trusted names in clear aligner therapy and is ideal for both teens and adults. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into alignment.
Benefits of Invisalign include:
- Virtually invisible when worn
- Removable for eating and brushing
- Smooth, comfortable fit
- Fewer office visits than braces
- Customized treatment based on 3D scans
If you're interested in enhancing your smile's appearance, Invisalign is often a great complement to other cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening or dental bonding.
The Invisalign Process at Harmony Smile Dental
Step 1: Digital Scan
We start with a digital impression using our iTero scanner—no goopy trays required. This allows us to map out every movement your teeth need to make.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Dr. Zhao will create a personalized plan that outlines your aligner sequence and expected results. You’ll even get a virtual preview of your future smile.
Step 3: Aligner Fabrication & Wear
Once your custom trays are ready, you’ll wear each set for about 1–2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush. Most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months.
Step 4: Retention & Results
After your last aligner, a custom retainer will help maintain your new alignment long-term. We also offer retainer repair to keep your post-treatment smile protected.
Conditions Invisalign Can Treat
Invisalign effectively addresses a wide range of alignment issues, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites and open bites
- Minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
If you have more complex alignment needs, we may combine Invisalign with other restorative options like dental crowns or veneers to improve both function and appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Invisalign is a great choice for many adults and teens looking for an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable alternative to metal braces. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your dental health, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are the best solution for your needs.
We often recommend completing a dental cleaning and exam beforehand to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before beginning treatment.
