Last updated: November 2026 Short answer: The Invisalign consultation at Smiles By Design in Heber City starts with an iTero 3D scan instead of impression putty. Dr. Proctor or Dr. Tanner then reviews the scan with you at the same visit and explains whether Invisalign fits your mouth. You leave with a plan and a clear next step before you decide on anything. Wondering what Invisalign actually costs, or where to start? A free consultation and $500 off Invisalign treatment, including free whitening, is available through November 30, 2026. That visit covers a digital scan and a review with a general dentist. A patient can see a plan and a timeline before deciding on anything. The Current Invisalign Offer Runs Through November 30, 2026 The offer itself breaks down simply: $500 off Invisalign treatment, including free whitening, plus a free consultation, through November 30, 2026. There is no separate fee for the first visit, and the whitening is bundled into the discounted treatment rather than sold as an add-on. Book before November 30, 2026 to use the offer; the office can explain how the dates apply to your case. Call (435) 657-1700 to book. Invisalign Cost Compared to Braces Depends on the Treatment Plan, Not a List Price Most patients want to know what Invisalign costs next to braces. Neither option has a single price. Both depend on how much the teeth need to move, how long treatment runs, and which dentist delivers it. The practice does not publish a price or a price range for Invisalign or for braces. A fair plan requires a look at the bite and a current scan first, and that is exactly what the free consultation is for. What a patient can compare, without a price attached, is how the two options work day to day: Traditional braces stay on the teeth and move them without relying on the patient to do anything. The University of Iowa College of Dentistry’s summary of ADA and NIH guidance notes this as an advantage. It matters for patients who may not wear a removable appliance consistently. Invisalign aligners need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day to stay on schedule, per that same summary. The discipline shifts to the patient rather than to a fixed appliance. Dr. Proctor or Dr. Tanner can walk through which trade-off fits a given case at the consultation, with no obligation and no cost for that visit. The Free Consultation Starts With an iTero 3D Scan, Not Impression Putty The visit begins with a scan rather than a tray of impression material. The practice’s iTero intraoral scanner replaces the alginate putty that older impressions required. The wand captures a digital model of the upper and lower arches in a few minutes. The image appears on a screen the patient can see in real time. There is no setting time to wait through, and no mouthful of material to hold still for. The scan goes straight into Invisalign’s planning software. The dentist can show a rough simulation of how the teeth are expected to move over the course of treatment. Because the file is digital, it also moves to the lab electronically instead of through the mail. Crowns and bridges that go to an outside lab move faster because the file travels electronically. A General Dentist Reviews the Scan and Discusses Options at the Same Visit Dr. A.J. Proctor, DMD, MPH, or Dr. Nathan Tanner, DMD, reviews the scan with the patient at that same visit. Both are general dentists who provide Invisalign. They look at crowding, spacing, and bite alignment. Then they explain whether Invisalign is a reasonable fit for that mouth, or whether another option makes more sense. Several details come up at this stage: Attachments An estimated number of aligner trays An approximate treatment length No dollar figure attaches to any of it until the plan is final. This is also where whitening enters the conversation: the current offer includes it with discounted Invisalign treatment rather than as a separate purchase. A patient leaves the visit with a plan on paper, or on screen, and a clear next step. That might mean starting trays at a second appointment, or taking time to think it over first. Families From Across the Wasatch Back Use This Consultation to Compare Options Patients book this consultation from well beyond Heber City itself. Midway, Wallsburg, Charleston, and Francis are regulars, along with Park City, Kamas, Orem, Provo, and Salt Lake City. For many of them, the visit is a first look at orthodontic alternatives. A teenager or an adult can see a way to get straighter teeth without a mouth full of brackets. The office keeps TVs, headphones, and blankets on hand in the operatory for patients who find any dental visit uncomfortable to sit through. Staff at the front desk speak both English and Spanish. The same visit is often where a patient first learns the practice offers more than general care. Smiles By Design (formerly Dorius Dental) also provides veneers, and crowns made same-day with CEREC. Other cosmetic options sometimes come up when a scan shows more going on than crowding alone. The Products and Services page lists what else the office handles, and the About Us page has background on Dr. Proctor and Dr. Tanner. Frequently Asked Questions Do I Have to Bite Into Impression Putty? No. The office uses an iTero intraoral scanner instead of alginate putty. The wand captures a digital model of your upper and lower teeth in a few minutes, and you can watch the image on a screen as it is taken. Who Looks at My Scan? Dr. A.J. Proctor or Dr. Nathan Tanner, both general dentists who provide Invisalign. They review it with you at the same visit and explain whether Invisalign is a good fit or another option makes more sense. Is Invisalign More Expensive Than Braces? There is no single price for either one. The cost depends on how much your teeth need to move, how long treatment runs, and which dentist delivers it. The practice does not publish a price range, because a fair plan needs a look at your bite and a current scan first. What If an Attachment Breaks or a Tray Stops Fitting? Same-day emergency appointments are available for patients already in treatment who run into a broken attachment or a tray that no longer fits. Starting Treatment Before the Offer Closes Takes One Phone Call Booking the free consultation is the only step needed to use the current offer. The practice schedules these visits the same way it schedules any other new-patient appointment. A short call confirms a time, checks whether the patient is new or returning, and gets the scan on the calendar. The New Patients page has what to bring and what to expect for anyone visiting the Heber City office for the first time. The $500 off Invisalign, including free whitening, closes on November 30, 2026. The office is at 376 East Gateway Drive, Suite 202, Heber City, UT 84032. The fastest way to get a consultation on the calendar is to call (435) 657-1700 directly or reach out through the Contact Us page. Same-day emergency appointments are also available for patients already mid-treatment who run into a broken attachment or a tray that no longer fits. What This Means for Anyone Considering Invisalign The most useful thing to bring to the scan is an honest answer about daily habits. Aligners only work at 20 to 22 hours a day, and braces do not depend on you at all. Knowing which of those suits your routine gives the dentist something concrete to work with. The scan, the review, and the discount all happen together if you book before November 30, 2026. Call (435) 657-1700 to get a scan on the calendar before the offer closes.
