Your doctor can invite you to connect through the app for a more personalized experience.

Is the My Invisalign app free?

Yes, the My Invisalign app is free to download on both iOS and Android.2 There are no subscription fees or hidden costs for core features like wear-time tracking, progress monitoring, and doctor communication. You can download it anytime and try features like the smile simulation tool at no cost.

Some features, such as viewing your treatment plan or using Virtual Care, require an invitation from your provider. But the app itself is always free.

Can I check my insurance coverage in the app?

Yes, the app includes an insurance coverage check tool that shows you instantly how much of your treatment may be covered by your insurance plan.2 Available for US patients, it takes the guesswork out of budgeting for your smile. Instead of calling your insurance company or waiting for your doctor's office to verify coverage, you can check right from your phone in seconds.

Knowing your benefits upfront helps you plan with confidence. You can see what your plan covers, understand your out-of-pocket costs, and make informed decisions, all before your first consultation.

How does the Invisalign app track wear time?

One of the most popular features is the built-in wear-time timer. The app logs when you put your aligners in and take them out, so you can see at a glance how close you are to your daily goal. Most orthodontists recommend wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day for the best results, and the timer makes it easy to track whether you are hitting that target.2 72% of surveyed patients agreed that using the timer helped them keep track of their aligner wear time.6

The timer provides weekly, monthly, and yearly views so you can spot patterns and stay motivated. Research has found that patients who consistently use a mobile app for aligner check-ins tend to have higher compliance rates.12

Tracking matters because many patients overestimate their wear time. One study found that only 36% of patients were fully compliant with prescribed wear time, while the remaining 64% were fairly or poorly compliant.13 The same research noted that patients overestimate daily wear by an average of 3–5 hours, which means a built-in timer helps you stay honest and close the gap between perceived and actual wear.13

Does the app work with my smartwatch?

Yes, the app pairs with Apple Watch so you can track wear time right from your wrist.5 Start and stop the timer with a quick tap instead of pulling out your phone, which is especially handy when you are on the go.

If you already use a wearable for fitness or health tracking, the smartwatch integration fits naturally into your routine. Keeping up with your daily wear goal feels effortless.

Does the app offer tips for caring for my aligners?

Yes, the app includes use and care tips that show you how to properly wear and maintain your aligners.2 From cleaning best practices to guidance on when to switch aligner sets, these built-in tips help you get the most out of your treatment.

Having expert-backed guidance right in the app means you do not have to guess or search online. Whether you want to know how to clean your aligners, what to avoid eating or drinking, or how to handle common situations, the app gives you clear, reliable answers whenever you need them.

How do I track my treatment progress?

The app makes it easy to document your smile journey. The Smile Gallery feature lets you take selfies, upload them to your gallery, and watch your smile change over time. 81% of surveyed patients agreed that using Smile Gallery helped them monitor their Invisalign treatment progress.6

A visual record of your progress can be incredibly motivating, especially on days when the changes feel subtle. You can compare side-by-side photos, share your transformation with friends and family, and celebrate milestones along the way. The app also lets you view and share a progress video and before-and-after photos in a time-lapse format.5

You can also personalize your treatment calendar to keep track of upcoming appointments, aligner changes, and other important events all in one place.

Can the Invisalign app connect to my doctor?

Yes, the Virtual Care feature lets you stay connected with your doctor remotely. You can share photos and receive feedback between in-office visits. 86% of surveyed patients agreed that using Virtual Care feature in the My Invisalign app helped them stay connected with their doctor during their Invisalign treatment.9 Patients also find the experience straightforward. Surveyed patients agreed that the Virtual Care was easy and convenient to use.9

When it is time for an aligner change, the app walks you through a guided photo-taking process so you can capture consistent, high-quality images from the right angles.8 Your doctor reviews those photos and sends feedback, letting you know whether your treatment is on track or if any adjustments are needed.

The American Association of Orthodontists notes that remote monitoring can make orthodontic treatment more convenient for busy patients, with digital check-ins that include reminders about aligner wear requirements.14

What is Invisalign Virtual Care?

Invisalign Virtual Care is a doctor-directed remote monitoring feature within the app that lets you share photos and receive feedback from your provider between appointments.

Doctors report real benefits from this tool. 81% of surveyed Invisalign trained doctors agree that Invisalign patients monitored with Invisalign Virtual Care require fewer in-office monitoring appointments.15 Additionally, 92% of surveyed Invisalign trained doctors indicate implementing Invisalign Virtual Care allows them to check in with their patients more frequently, helping identify potential fit issues earlier.15

Research on AI-assisted orthodontic monitoring reinforces these findings. A 2025 study found that an AI-powered mobile app increased patient engagement scores from 4.2 to 7.3 and improved clinical aligner tracking adherence from 85% to 92%.10

For patients, this means more peace of mind. Your doctor can monitor your treatment more closely, send guidance when needed, and help keep your smile on track, all through the convenience of your phone.

Invisalign Virtual Care is not intended to replace required in-office appointments. Your doctor determines how often you need to be seen.

Can parents use the app to help their teen stay on track?

If your teen is going through treatment, the app can help the whole family. Because aligners are removable, consistency is everything: teens need to wear them 20–22 hours per day for their teeth to shift correctly, and as wear time decreases, treatment can slow down. The app's wear-time timer gives both teens and parents a clear, objective picture of how things are going.

Teens make up a growing share of Invisalign treatment patients. Since 2001, over 7 million teenager patients have been treated with the Invisalign system.3

A quick weekly check-in, looking at the timer data together and celebrating milestones, can go a long way. Instead of asking "Did you wear your aligners today?" you can simply look at the wear-time data together and have a constructive conversation.

Can I view my treatment plan in the app?

Yes, your doctor can securely share your custom treatment plan with you directly through the app.2 You can review the personalized plan your doctor created anytime, right from your phone, instead of trying to remember the details from your consultation.

Seeing your treatment plan helps you understand exactly what to expect: how your teeth will move, how long each phase may take, and what your doctor has designed for your smile. It also makes it easy to share the details with family members involved in your treatment decision.

How does Invisalign SmileView work?

Invisalign SmileView is a self-guided simulation tool that lets you preview what your smile could look like with straighter teeth. Snap a smiling selfie, and the tool generates a computer simulation of your potential new smile in under 60 seconds. It is a fun, easy way to start imagining your transformation before you even begin treatment.

The simulation compares your photo against a database of patient outcomes to create a personalized preview. You can share your results with friends and family, which makes it a great conversation starter when you are considering treatment.

SmileView is available within the app, so you can try it anytime. Keep in mind that the simulation is a computer-generated preview, not a guarantee of your actual results; your final outcome will depend on your unique treatment plan and how consistently you wear your aligners.

How do I download the My Invisalign app?

Search for the My Invisalign app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, then tap to install.2 The app is available for both iOS and Android, and setup takes just a few minutes.

If you are already in treatment, your doctor may provide a QR code on your aligner packaging that you can scan to download and personalize the app instantly. If you are still exploring treatment, you can download it anytime to try features like the SmileView simulation and find a doctor near you.

Can I find a provider through the app?

Yes, the app includes a doctor locator tool that connects you to nearby trained providers and lets you request an appointment directly.2 Whether you are just starting to explore treatment or looking for a second opinion, the locator makes it easy to find a trained provider in your area.

You can browse providers near you, read about their practice, and request a consultation, all from within the app. It is a seamless way to take the next step from "I am interested" to "I have an appointment."

Can I refer a friend through the app?

Yes, the app includes a refer-a-friend program that may reward you when a friend you refer starts treatment. When a friend signs up for treatment using your referral, you may receive a $100 gift card as a thank you.2 Just share your referral link from within the app.16

Is the Invisalign system the most researched clear aligner system?

Yes. Invisalign is the most researched and clinically evaluated clear aligner system in the orthodontic industry.11 The Invisalign System is the world's most advanced clear aligner system.17

This matters because it means the treatment behind the app is backed by a deeper body of clinical evidence than any other clear aligner brand. When you use the app to track your wear time, share photos with your doctor, and monitor your progress, you are tapping into a system refined through millions of cases and years of clinical study.
