What Are Braces & Invisalign?
Braces and Invisalign are orthodontic systems that reposition your teeth into proper alignment over a controlled period. Traditional braces rely on metal or ceramic brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by archwires that apply precise, calibrated pressure. Invisalign uses a series of custom-fabricated clear plastic aligners that you swap every one to two weeks as your teeth progressively shift into place.
Both methods deliver excellent outcomes, but the mechanics behind them differ. Braces remain fixed and are adjusted during regular appointments. Invisalign aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and allow you to eat and brush without restriction. At myDental Tech Ridge, Dr. Viecilli applies his advanced biomechanics training to engineer each treatment plan at the force-system level — meaning your teeth move efficiently along the most precise path possible. iTero digital scanning creates a 3D model of your teeth so you can preview your projected results before you commit.
Invisalign uses custom clear trays that are nearly invisible. You transition to a new set every one to two weeks as your teeth progressively shift into alignment.
Metal or ceramic brackets bonded to your teeth deliver precise force control for complex alignment cases and bite correction.
iTero 3D scanning and ClinCheck software map every stage of your treatment so you can see your projected results before you begin.
Invisalign aligners come out for eating, brushing, and special events — no dietary restrictions and no extra effort to keep your teeth clean.
Your Orthodontic Options at myDental Tech Ridge
No two smiles are the same, and the ideal orthodontic solution depends on your alignment needs, daily routine, and personal goals. Our Tech Ridge team offers multiple treatment pathways so you can choose the approach that fits your life.
Invisalign for Adults
Custom-molded clear aligners designed to be virtually invisible. Removable for meals and oral hygiene, Invisalign fits seamlessly into a busy professional schedule. Effective for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite discrepancies.
Invisalign Teen
Clear aligner technology tailored for younger patients. Built-in compliance indicators help parents and our team confirm aligners are being worn consistently, and replacement trays are included if one goes missing.
Traditional Braces
Metal or ceramic brackets connected by archwires provide the highest degree of control for complex cases — including severe crowding, significant gaps, and multi-plane bite correction. Ideal when precision is the top priority.
Retainers & Aftercare
After active treatment, a custom retainer holds your teeth in their new position. We design your retainer and provide a long-term maintenance plan so your results last a lifetime.
Your Orthodontic Journey at myDental Tech Ridge
From your first visit to the day your retainer is placed, Dr. Viecilli and the Tech Ridge team guide you through a clear, structured process. Here is what a typical orthodontic journey looks like at our North I-35 office.
Consultation & Digital Scan
Visit our Tech Ridge office for digital X-rays and an iTero 3D scan of your teeth. Dr. Viecilli personally evaluates your alignment, reviews your dental history, and recommends the best treatment approach — Invisalign, braces, or a tailored combination.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using ClinCheck 3D software and his biomechanics expertise, Dr. Viecilli maps every stage of your tooth movement with scientific precision. You preview your projected results before treatment begins and receive a clear cost breakdown including insurance and financing details.
Begin Treatment
For Invisalign, you receive your first sets of custom aligners and wear each set for one to two weeks. For braces, brackets and wires are placed in a single appointment. You leave with detailed instructions and a full understanding of your timeline.
Progress Checkups
You return to our Tech Ridge office every six to eight weeks so Dr. Viecilli can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Invisalign patients receive their next sets of aligners. Braces patients have their wires calibrated for continued movement.
Retainers & Maintenance
Once your teeth reach their final position, we remove your braces or transition you from aligners to a custom retainer. Wearing your retainer as directed ensures your results remain permanent.
Why Tech Ridge Families Choose myDental for Braces & Invisalign
Straightening your teeth is an investment in both your oral health and your confidence. Here’s why families across Tech Ridge, Wells Branch, Pflugerville, Parmer Lane, and Dessau trust myDental for orthodontic care.
Virtually Invisible
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade SmartTrack plastic. Most people will never notice you’re wearing them — so you can speak, smile, and present confidently throughout treatment.
Removable for Your Lifestyle
Take out your aligners to eat, brush, and floss normally. No food restrictions and no complicated cleaning routines — just straightforward oral hygiene during treatment.
Faster Than You Think
Many patients complete Invisalign treatment in 6 to 18 months. Modern bracket systems have also reduced traditional braces timelines significantly compared to older approaches.
Comfortable Fit
Invisalign aligners are smooth with no wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks and gums. Current braces use smaller, lower-profile brackets that are far more comfortable than previous generations.
Specialist-Led Precision
Dr. Viecilli combines iTero scanning, ClinCheck 3D planning, and his biomechanics research to engineer your treatment at the force-system level — so every tooth moves along the most efficient path possible.
A Healthier Smile
Properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, which lowers your risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven enamel wear. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term investment in your oral health.

Braces & Invisalign Questions — Answered for Tech Ridge Patients
Don’t see your question? Contact our Tech Ridge office — we’re happy to help.
Dr. Rodrigo Viecilli is a dedicated orthodontic specialist with a DDS and a PhD in genetics, along with published research in biomechanics and force systems. Unlike general dentists who offer Invisalign as one of many services, Dr. Viecilli focuses exclusively on orthodontics — braces and clear aligners — for children, teens, and adults. His scientific background allows him to plan tooth movement with a level of precision that goes beyond standard training, resulting in more efficient treatment and more predictable outcomes.
Invisalign and traditional braces are often comparable in price, though costs vary depending on your case complexity and treatment duration. During your consultation at our Tech Ridge office, we provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing. We accept most PPO insurance plans, offer flexible financing through Cherry with monthly payment options, and our myDental Plan provides discounts for patients without insurance coverage.
Most Invisalign cases are completed within 6 to 18 months, and mild cases may finish in as few as 3 months. Traditional braces generally require 12 to 24 months. Your exact timeline depends on the severity of your alignment issues and how consistently you wear your aligners. During your consultation at myDental Tech Ridge, Dr. Viecilli provides a projected timeline based on your specific case using ClinCheck 3D treatment planning.
You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after switching to a new set of aligners or having your braces adjusted. This is a normal sign that your teeth are moving into their new positions. Most patients manage any discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief. Invisalign aligners are smooth and generally produce less irritation than traditional brackets and wires.
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss. Consistent daily wear is the single most important factor in keeping your treatment on schedule and achieving your projected results.
Yes. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients and includes compliance indicators on the aligners that help parents and our team verify they are being worn enough each day. Replacement aligners are also included in case one gets lost. Many teens across Tech Ridge, Wells Branch, and Pflugerville prefer Invisalign because it is far less noticeable than traditional braces.
Many PPO dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to both Invisalign and traditional braces. Coverage amounts and lifetime maximums vary by plan, so we recommend verifying your benefits before your consultation. Our Tech Ridge team will help you understand your orthodontic coverage and maximize your benefits. Learn more about insurance at myDental.
