Seamlessly Achieving Your Best Smile
More Beautiful Smiles are in Store for You with Invisalign
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of virtually invisible, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth during the course of your treatment. These aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable material that fits snugly over your teeth. As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth gently shift into their desired positions.
The Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
- Discreet Orthodontic Solution: Say goodbye to metal brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth with confidence and minimal impact on your appearance.
- Comfortable and Customized: Invisalign is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Their smooth material ensures a comfortable fit without the irritation often associated with traditional braces.
- Removable Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without obstructions.

- Digital Precision: Invisalign treatment is guided by advanced digital technology, ensuring precise planning and predictable results. You'll be able to visualize your progress and future smile before starting treatment.

Dr. Brandon Sims
After growing up in a small town in West Texas, Dr. Sims is finding Hendersonville a natural fit. His parents still own and operate the cattle ranch and farm he worked on as a kid, and he occasionally returns to help out when he can. He knew he wanted to be a dentist at 17 years old and to achieve that goal, he attended college at West Texas A&M and then graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 2005.
Dr. Sims spent the first 12 years of his career both practicing dentistry in Hendersonville, TN, and teaching for the world's largest dental services provider. After spending several years as Program Director for Dentist Education, he decided to slow down on traveling and focus on practicing dentistry and raising his two kids.
"I have always enjoyed giving back to the profession through teaching, and I hope to return to it someday." Dr Sims took over as the owner of Hillcrest Dental in 2018. "I am thankful I get to carry on the legacy started here in 1983 by Dr. Garrett."
During his spare time, he enjoys playing sports with his kids, competing in triathlons, and participating in CrossFit classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is an excellent option for both teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Our skilled team at Lakeside Smiles will evaluate your unique situation and determine if Invisalign is the right fit for your smile goals.
Are the aligners really invisible?
Yes, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. They're made from a clear, smooth plastic that is custom-designed to fit your teeth precisely. This means you can enjoy your journey to a straighter smile without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign treatment is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You might experience some minor discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this is a sign that the treatment is working as intended. Most patients find the discomfort to be temporary and manageable.
How often should I wear my aligners?
For optimal results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistency in wearing your aligners ensures that your treatment progresses as planned.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on your individual needs and goals. On average, treatment can take anywhere from several months to a couple of years. Our expert team will provide you with a personalized estimate during your consultation.
Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?
No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents food particles and liquids from getting trapped between your aligners and your teeth, ensuring your aligners remain clear and your teeth stay healthy.
How do I care for my aligners?
Maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial during Invisalign treatment. Clean your aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to prevent discoloration and odor. Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to avoid trapping bacteria.
What happens after Invisalign treatment?
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you'll transition to wearing retainers. Retainers help maintain your newly aligned smile by preventing your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Our team will guide you on how to incorporate retainers into your routine.
How do I get started with Invisalign?
Getting started with Invisalign is simple. Schedule an Orthodontic Consultation at Lakeside Smiles to discuss your smile goals. If Invisalign is the right choice for you, we'll create a custom treatment plan and guide you through each step of the process.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans offer coverage for Invisalign treatment, similar to traditional braces. Our team will work closely with you to understand your insurance benefits and provide you with accurate information about your coverage.
Why choose Invisalign over traditional braces?
Invisalign offers numerous advantages, including nearly invisible appearance, comfortable fit, and the ability to remove the aligners for eating and oral hygiene. It's a convenient and discreet way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the challenges of traditional braces.
