Invisalign Clear Aligners in Peoria, AZ
A discreet way to straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. Dr. Lisa Kubik is Invisalign certified and treats adult patients at Copper Sky Dental in Peoria, AZ.
Clear aligners that fit adult lives
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays to move your teeth into a better position over time. The trays are nearly invisible. You take them out to eat, brush, and floss. At Copper Sky Dental, a locally owned practice in Peoria, AZ, Dr. Lisa Kubik is Invisalign certified and provides clear aligner treatment for adult patients across Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Glendale, and Surprise. We are an adults-only general practice serving patients 18 and older.
How Invisalign works
Treatment starts with a digital scan or impressions of your teeth. From there, your case is mapped tooth by tooth, and a series of aligner trays is manufactured. You wear each tray for about one to two weeks, then swap to the next one in the series. Each tray moves your teeth a fraction of a millimeter closer to the planned final position. Most adults wear their aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and to clean their teeth.
You see Dr. Kubik for periodic check-ins through treatment. These visits are short. We confirm the teeth are tracking with the plan, hand you the next set of aligners, and answer questions. If the case needs a small adjustment, we plan it together, no surprises.
Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign treats a wide range of adult alignment cases. Common reasons our Peoria patients choose Invisalign:
- Mild to moderate crowding where teeth have shifted over time
- Relapse from earlier orthodontic treatment, often years or decades after braces in adolescence
- Spacing or gaps between teeth that have widened with age
- Bite issues such as a mild overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Cosmetic alignment as the foundation for veneers, whitening, or a planned smile makeover
Some cases are better suited to traditional braces or to an orthodontic specialist. If yours is one of them, we will tell you, and we will refer you to a trusted local orthodontist rather than starting a treatment that will not get you the result you want.
What treatment looks like at Copper Sky Dental
1. Consultation
Dr. Kubik examines your teeth and bite, takes a digital scan or impressions, and discusses what Invisalign can and cannot do for your case. You receive a clear cost estimate and a realistic timeline before you commit.
2. Custom treatment plan
We map your case from start to finish, including the number of trays, the expected duration, and the planned final position. You see a preview of how your teeth will look before treatment starts.
3. Aligner wear
You wear each tray about one to two weeks, swapping to the next on schedule. Aligners come out for meals, brushing, and flossing, and stay in the rest of the day and overnight.
4. Check-in visits
Short visits to confirm progress and pick up the next set of aligners. Most adult patients come in every six to ten weeks.
5. Retainers
Once your teeth reach their final position, retainers hold them there. Without retainers, teeth gradually shift back, the same drift that caused most adult cases in the first place.
Why Dr. Kubik is your Invisalign provider
Dr. Lisa Kubik is Invisalign certified and treats Invisalign cases at Copper Sky Dental. Her approach is the same one our practice has used since 1976, when Dr. Robert Holyoak opened the office: listen first, recommend conservatively, and explain choices in plain language. Invisalign is a planned investment of time and money, and you deserve a provider who treats it that way.
Because Copper Sky Dental is a general practice that handles cleanings, restorative work, and cosmetic dentistry under one roof, your Invisalign treatment plans alongside the rest of your dental care, not in a silo. If a crown needs replacing before alignment, we coordinate it. If you want whitening after your teeth are in their final position, we plan the sequence together.
Caring for your aligners
Aligners are designed to be easy to live with. A few habits keep them clear and your teeth healthy:
- Rinse aligners with cool water when you take them out, and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush
- Brush and floss your teeth before putting aligners back in, especially after coffee, tea, or red wine
- Drink water freely with aligners in, save other drinks for when the trays are out
- Store aligners in their case when not wearing them, the case keeps them from being lost or damaged
- Wear each tray the full prescribed time before moving to the next, even if the new tray feels ready to go on early
Free second opinions on Invisalign treatment plans
If another office has handed you an Invisalign plan and you would like an independent read before committing, bring the plan and your scans or x-rays to Dr. Kubik. The second opinion is free, and there is no obligation to switch dentists. Many of our patients use the second opinion to confirm a plan and then go forward with their existing provider. That is a fine outcome. The goal is for you to feel confident about the decision either way.
Transparent pricing and insurance
We provide clear written pricing at your consultation, including a full cost estimate, an insurance benefits check if you have orthodontic coverage, and financing options. There are no surprise fees mid-treatment. We accept most major dental insurance plans.

Invisalign FAQ
Answers to common questions about Invisalign clear aligners in Peoria, AZ
Most adult Invisalign treatments at Copper Sky Dental run 6 to 18 months depending on the case. Mild crowding or relapse from previous orthodontic work often finishes faster. Bite corrections and more complex alignment take longer. Dr. Lisa Kubik gives you a realistic timeline at your consultation, with the number of aligner trays mapped out before treatment starts.
Invisalign cost depends on the length of treatment and the number of aligner trays your case requires. Limited treatment for minor cases costs less than a full comprehensive plan. We provide clear written pricing at your consultation, including financing and insurance estimates, so you know the out-of-pocket number before you decide. Call (623) 933-8410 for current pricing details.
Some dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to Invisalign for adults, usually as a one-time lifetime maximum. Many do not. We check your specific plan before you commit and give you the coverage breakdown in writing. Bring your card to your consultation and our team will run the benefits check.
In most cases, yes. Crowns generally do well with Invisalign because the aligner fits over the crown the same way it fits over a natural tooth. Bridges are more complicated because Invisalign moves teeth individually, and a bridge connects multiple teeth into one unit. We review your existing dental work at the consultation and tell you honestly whether Invisalign is the right fit or whether another approach makes more sense.
Both treatments straighten teeth. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays that you change about every one to two weeks. Traditional braces use brackets bonded to your teeth with wires that are adjusted at appointments. For most adult cases, Invisalign is more discreet, easier to clean around, and lets you eat without restrictions. Severe alignment problems still sometimes do better with braces, and we will say so if that is the case.
Invisalign works well for most adult alignment cases, but not every case. Significant bite problems, severely rotated teeth, or complex jaw alignment may need a different approach. If we determine Invisalign is not the best fit, we will explain why and refer you to a trusted orthodontist for cases that need specialist care. The consultation is honest either way, and there is no pressure to start treatment.
