Invisalign Aligner Options in Bixby and Glenpool
Dr. Van Nowlin and Dr. Ryan Nowlin have spent countless hours learning how to treat smiles with Invisalign aligners, the world’s most advanced clear aligner system. They also devote time each year to staying in-the-know about updates in the technology, so our patients benefit from their status as top-tier Invisalign providers. In fact, we’ve created more healthy, confident smiles with Invisalign than about 99% of all orthodontic practices worldwide — all from our orthodontic clinics near you in Bixby and Glenpool!
Invisalign Treatment for Children & Teens
Because we commonly see different bite issues among our teenage patients, Invisalign treatment for teens is sometimes a bit more complex than it is with adults. However, with our extensive experience, we’ve been able to create great results with Invisalign treatment for teens, correcting a wide variety of orthodontic issues in the process. In fact, some teen patients are pleasantly surprised to learn about the successes we’ve achieved in cases like theirs, when they thought braces were the only option.
One of the biggest benefits of treating kids and teens with Invisalign is the ease of oral hygiene maintenance. Being able to remove aligners to brush and floss means treatment more readily fits into their active lives, with fewer dietary restrictions, too. Invisalign treatment may also take less time than braces, often with less hassle, because there are no wires to adjust or brackets to maintain.
That’s because we customize treatment to the patient. We design a treatment plan using 3D computer technology that allows you to see the projected outcome of the treatment even before it begins!
Invisalign for Adults Near Tulsa, Oklahoma
The flexibility to remove your clear aligners while you eat, brush, or during special occasions makes this treatment approach a top choice for adults, too.
Invisalign treatment is very well suited for the active lifestyles of today’s Tulsa-area adults. Invisalign clear aligners are comfortable and easy to use because they fit perfectly over teeth. You only need to remove them when eating and for brushing and flossing. If the occasion calls for it, you can also remove your aligners for a short time and still keep treatment on track. We even provide a handy case to keep them in when they’re not in use.
You’ll enjoy more freedom in your diet choices than with traditional braces, too. What’s more, Invisalign treatment is about the same price as regular braces, and we can work with you and your insurance to come up with a flexible payment plan that suits your budget.

Invisalign Aligners FAQs
How do I clean Invisalign aligners?
- Give your aligners a good rinse as soon as you take them out. From there, soak your aligner trays with the Invisalign brand crystal cleaning solution. This solution removes bacteria, so it’s a good idea to do this at least once a day.
- Now, use a soft bristle toothbrush (but not your daily toothbrush) to give your aligners a light brushing to get rid of any debris that remains after the soak.
- Finally, rinse off both aligners and place back in your mouth, making sure they’re fully “clicked in” with chewies if you have to.
How long do I wear each set of aligners?
Generally, you should wear your aligners for two weeks before changing to the next set, but because this varies by smile, you should follow our guidance. In some cases, for example, you might wear an aligner set for as little as a week before switching. This will depend on your specific treatment plan, so if you’re unsure about what we advised, be sure to ask Dr. Nowlin or your care team.
Does Invisalign fit an active lifestyle?
Invisalign treatment is a great choice for an active lifestyle! Your aligners can be worn during nearly any activity, removing them only for eating and cleaning. You can even wear Invisalign aligners comfortably while playing sports — though for contact sports, it’s probably better to remove your aligners and wear a mouthguard. Bonus tip: we’ll make you a custom mouthguard for free! Just let us know you need one.
Finally, if you’d like, you can remove Invisalign aligners for special occasions like prom and other photo-worthy events. Just be sure to keep them in the case we provide when not in use.
What benefits does Invisalign treatment provide compared to braces?
Invisalign treatment is a popular choice because:
- Clear aligners are more discreet.
- It’s comfortable and custom-made to fit your bite.
- Treatment is affordable (about the same price as traditional metal braces).
- You may spend less time in treatment.
- With no wires to adjust, in-person clinic visits are shorter.
- You’ll have fewer food restrictions.
- Regular brushing and flossing is much easier than with braces.
How much time should I plan to spend at the orthodontist with Invisalign?
With Invisalign treatment, you will need to schedule visits every 4 to 6 weeks for a quick check-up. These appointments are quite fast and easy because we’re not adjusting brackets or wires. You can also opt for our remote care option via the Smile Doctors Anywhere App. With it, you’ll likely have fewer in-person clinic visits — yet more check-ins with your care team at Nowlin Orthodontics — all at no extra cost!
How much does Invisalign treatment cost in Oklahoma?
We get this question a lot, and as members of families with budgets to manage, we fully understand why it’s important to answer. However, it just wouldn’t be accurate to give you an exact Invisalign treatment cost before we’re able to go through the initial exam process. Each smile is unique, so each treatment plan is, too.
What we can assure you about is that we make Invisalign treatment as budget friendly as possible:
- Invisalign treatment cost is roughly equivalent to braces treatment depending on the patient.
- We accept most insurance plans and can help optimize your benefits to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
- We offer flexible payment plans to help make treatment affordable for anyone!
Bottom line: we invite you to come in and talk about your smile goals so we can work together to meet them! Book your free visit at our orthodontic clinic in Bixby or Glenpool, OK to learn more.
