A Straighter Smile, On Your Schedule — No Metal, No Guesswork
Invisalign in West Valley City, UT starts with a 3D digital scan, not a guess — so if crooked teeth, gaps, or a bite that’s never quite felt right have been bothering you, you’ll see your projected result before you commit to anything. Pioneer Valley Dental fixes it with a series of clear, custom-fit aligners instead of brackets and wires.
Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners, custom-made for your teeth, that gradually shift them into place over time — no metal brackets, no wires, nothing glued to your teeth. Each aligner in the series moves your teeth a small amount; you wear each one for about one to two weeks before moving to the next, following the exact digital plan your doctor mapped out at the start of treatment.
Because the aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally — one of the biggest reasons adults choose Invisalign over traditional braces. Most people around you won’t notice you’re wearing them at all.
Every Invisalign case at Pioneer Valley Dental starts with a 3D digital scan of your teeth — not a putty impression, and not a guess. That scan builds your full treatment plan up front, so you can see roughly how your smile will move before your first aligner is even made.
From there, you’re not handed a box of aligners and sent on your way. Your doctor checks in every two months to confirm your teeth are tracking with the plan, and adjusts course if they’re not — the same team that maps your case is the team following it through to your last aligner and your retainer.
Dr. Smith trained with Invisalign more than 25 years ago and has used it exclusively ever since — no other clear aligner brand — because it’s held up as the industry standard the whole time.
Nervous about the appointments themselves? Every treatment room comes with the same comfort menu the rest of the practice uses — blankets, TV, headphones, and nitrous oxide if you want it, whether it’s your first scan or your last aligner check.
No molds, no goop. A quick digital scan captures your teeth in full detail, and your doctor reviews whether Invisalign is the right fit for your case that same visit.
Using the scan, your doctor maps the exact sequence your teeth will move through, aligner by aligner, and shows you a projected preview of your result before any aligners are made.
You'll wear each aligner 20–22 hours a day, returning every 2 months for your next set of aligners and a progress check. If a tooth or two isn't tracking exactly as planned partway through, we'll take a new scan and add aligners to keep treatment on schedule.
Once treatment's complete, you'll move into a retainer to hold your new smile in place — the same way any orthodontic treatment protects its results long-term.
Adults — the most common case at Pioneer Valley Dental, and it’s not close: about half of adult Invisalign patients are people in their 30s whose teeth have shifted after not wearing their retainers following braces as a teenager. The core age range is 20 to 40.
Teens — Pioneer Valley Dental starts Invisalign treatment around age 15 to 16; younger patients typically aren’t consistent enough with wear time for the aligners to work as planned.
Common cases we treat: crowding, gaps between teeth, mild-to-moderate overbite and underbite, and teeth that have shifted after braces. Invisalign handles roughly 70 to 80% of the misalignment cases that come through the door — cases with significant jaw or skeletal issues, deep overbites, or heavy tooth rotation still get referred to traditional braces.
Pioneer Valley Dental is based in West Valley City, right in the Harmons shopping center, and sees Invisalign patients from across the Salt Lake Valley — including Taylorsville, Kearns, and Magna. Whether you’re already a patient of record or coming in new for Invisalign specifically, the team that maps your treatment plan is the same team you’ll see at every check-in.
Invisalign at Pioneer Valley Dental typically runs $2,800 to $5,300, depending on how many aligners your case needs — a shorter case (7 to 10 aligners) falls at the lower end, and a longer case (30 to 50 aligners) falls at the higher end. Most patients land in the middle of that range, with treatment wrapping up in about 8 to 10 months. At your free consult and 3D scan, you’ll get a specific number for your case before you commit to anything.

A series of custom, clear aligners gradually move your teeth into place. You wear each one for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next, following the digital plan mapped out at your first visit.
Both, though adults are by far the most common Invisalign patients at Pioneer Valley Dental — about half are people in their 30s whose teeth shifted after skipping their retainers post-braces. Teens can typically start around age 15 to 16, once they're consistent enough to wear the aligners as directed.
Most cases run 8 to 10 months. Treatment length comes down to how many aligners your case needs — Pioneer Valley Dental tries to keep cases in the 10-to-30-aligner range; beyond that, traditional braces are usually a better fit.
Yes, in most cases. Invisalign handles roughly 70 to 80% of the misalignment cases that come through the door, including crowding, gaps, and mild-to-moderate overbites and underbites. Cases with significant skeletal issues, deep overbites, or heavy tooth rotation are usually referred to traditional braces instead.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. You take them out to eat and brush, they're far less noticeable day-to-day, and there's no risk of a wire poking your cheek.
For treatment to stay on schedule, yes — 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, and brush and floss.
If a treated tooth shifts within about a year of finishing treatment — and you've worn your retainer as directed — Pioneer Valley Dental will provide additional aligners to correct it at no extra charge.
