HOW IT WORKS
Patented SmartTrack® Material
Unlike generic clear plastics, authentic Invisalign aligners are engineered from proprietary SmartTrack material. Developed through 8 years of research and testing across 260 materials, it provides 75% better tooth-movement predictability and applies gentle, constant force for a more comfortable fit.
iTero® 3D Digital Customization
No messy impressions. We capture highly detailed images of your bite using the advanced iTero Element® scanner. Our specialized orthodontists utilize this data to simulate your exact tooth movements before your first set of trays is even printed.
Precision-Trimmed for Comfort
Cheap, off-the-shelf aligners often cut into your gums. Authentic Invisalign trays are meticulously trimmed along your specific gum line for optimal comfort, ensuring your daily active wear seamlessly merges with your busy life.

Your Orthodontist
Upon graduating from U of T, Dr. Tzotzis went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2002 at Howard University. He then attended the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, where he obtained his Masters of Science (M.S.) and completed his Orthodontic Certificate.
“I am very passionate about orthodontics and patient care. My interest in orthodontics started as a teenager and increased during my formal education and through my experience in the dental community. The focus on continuing education at Heritage Dental Specialists allows us to provide the most technically advanced treatments, ranging from conventional metal braces, to clear braces, Invisalign, and Harmony Lingual (inside) braces.”
“I feel fortunate to work in a position where I interact with people everyday. I love to laugh and smile and by providing you with the opportunity for a healthy and beautiful smile, I hope you will do the same. I strive to exceed your expectations so your smile is wide and shining bright all day long. The biggest compliment a patient can provide is their happy smile once treatment is completed.”
On his days off Dr. Tzotzis enjoys free time with his family, traveling and escaping to the cottage. He also enjoys a number of activities including fishing, hockey and tennis.
DR. MIKES TRANSFORMATIONS
Jenna’s Journey to a Confident Smile: An Invisalign Success Story
Challenge: Jenna, a vibrant 24-year-old professional, had always been self-conscious about crowding and a noticeable gap in her upper arch, causing her to hold back her smile in social and work settings.
Solution: Seeking a reliable, virtually undetectable solution, Jenna chose Invisalign clear aligners with Dr. Mike at Heritage Dental Specialists.
Treatment Process:
- Initial Assessment: A detailed examination including X-rays and 3D digital scans helped us create a personalized, predictive treatment plan for Jenna.
- Aligner Delivery & Setup: The custom-engineered Invisalign clear aligners were delivered, discreet attachments were placed to guide tooth movement, and Jenna received thorough instructions on daily wear and tray maintenance.
- Progressive Tray Changes: Over the course of her treatment, Jenna transitioned to a new set of custom trays every 1 to 2 weeks and attended regular check-ins, allowing us to gradually and precisely shift her teeth into their ideal positions without traditional metal adjustments.
- Diligence and Support: Jenna was exceptionally diligent with her 22-hour daily wear time and oral hygiene, which played a crucial role in her successful outcome. Our team provided continuous support and monitored her tracking throughout her entire smile journey.
Results:
The transformation in Jenna’s smile is truly remarkable. After completing her treatment, her teeth are beautifully aligned, and the overcrowding and gap have been completely resolved.

You can explore real transformation stories, advanced case studies, and clinical results across various bite complexities directly on the official Invisalign Results Page. During your consultation, we combine this global data with our local expertise to map out your precise, predictable smile journey.
What makes the SmartTrack® material better than regular clear aligners?

This medical-grade material delivers gentle, constant force, which clinical studies show improves tooth movement predictability by over 75%. To understand the biomechanics and material science behind how it speeds up treatment comfortably, you can read the breakdown on Invisalign’s SmartTrack Technology.
How does the iTero® scanner plan my treatment compared to old dental molds?
We use the iTero® 3D digital scanner to capture an exact, radiation-free replica of your teeth in minutes—no messy, gag-inducing putty required.

Can I see what I will look like with straight teeth right now?
Yes! Invisalign offers a free, instant mobile tool called the SmileView™ simulator. By using your phone’s camera, the AI generates a high-fidelity preview of your future smile in about 60 seconds. You can try the tool right now by heading over to the Invisalign SmileView™ Simulator, then bring your results to your appointment so we can build your official plan!
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
Invisalign treatment works by applying gentle, controlled force to your teeth. You may feel mild pressure or temporary soreness for the first few days of switching to a new set of trays, which is a normal indicator that your teeth are tracking correctly.
How long does the average treatment take?
While complex bite corrections can take over a year, the average adult alignment for mild-to-moderate crowding or spacing ranges from 6 to 18 months, completely dependent on your unique dental structure and consistency with daily wear.
Do you offer payment plans for Invisalign?
Yes! We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans to ensure your orthodontic care fits comfortably within your budget, allowing you to focus entirely on your new smile.
