Invisalign in Jacksonville Beach, FL
Invisalign clear aligners use a series of custom-fit, BPA-free plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into alignment — no metal brackets, no wires, and virtually invisible while you wear them. At Eccella Smiles in Jacksonville Beach, Dr. Shelby Sox is a certified Invisalign provider who uses the iTero Element digital scanner to map your teeth in 3D and design a precise, personalized treatment plan. Aligners are worn for at least 20 hours per day and swapped for the next set every one to two weeks — for most adults and teens, treatment takes between 6 and 18 months.
Experience the Invisalign Advantage
Invisalign is effective for mild to moderate alignment issues — but it is not the right solution for every case. Here is how to think about whether you are a good candidate:
The only way to know for certain is a consultation. Dr. Sox uses the iTero Element digital scanner to assess your bite, spacing, and jaw alignment in 3D before making any recommendation. If your case is better served by traditional orthodontics, she will tell you directly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Treatment
What Are Invisalign Aligners?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic option that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible and custom-made for a comfortable, discreet treatment experience.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next in the series. The aligners apply controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them into the desired position over time. Regular check-ins ensure progress stays on track.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though some may see results in as little as 6 months. Wearing aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day is key to achieving timely results.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Invisalign costs vary based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. In Jacksonville Beach, the price typically ranges between $3,000 to $7,000. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign, and financing options may be available at Eccella Smiles to make treatment more affordable.
What Are iTero Element Digital Impressions and How Do They Work for Invisalign?
Each and every Invisalign tray is custom-designed for a patient’s unique smile. In order to ensure their quality and accuracy, we will take a digital impression using the iTero Element scanner. That’s right, a digital impression, as in you won’t have to deal with any messy or odd-tasting dental putty.
With this tool, a small, handheld scanner will be comfortably maneuvered through your mouth while taking hundreds of pictures a minute. On a chairside monitor, you will see these images being “stitched” together using advanced software to create a fully 3D image of your teeth.
Not only is this process much gentler than taking a physical impression, it also creates a much more detailed model of your teeth as well. This is what will be used to design and fabricate your Invisalign trays, and thanks to the iTero’s precision, it will ensure that your treatment is not only effective but comfortable as well.
