How to Know If You’re Ready
You don’t need to be 100% sure. Most people who walk into our office for a free consultation are still on the fence. Some have been thinking about Invisalign for a few months. Others have been thinking about it for a decade.
You’re ready when you’re tired of thinking about it. That’s it. The consultation is built to give you the rest of the information you need to decide.
If you come in and it turns out Invisalign isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you. If the timing doesn’t work financially, we’ll tell you. If a different treatment would get you better results, we’ll tell you. The point of the visit isn’t to sell you something. It’s to give you a clear answer so you can stop carrying this around.
Why Davis County Families Trust Us With Their Invisalign
Bailey-Welling Orthodontics has been caring for Davis County families since 1971. As an established orthodontist in Farmington, UT, we treat patients at our 122 E State St office right in the heart of town, easy to reach from Kaysville, Centerville, Fruit Heights, and anywhere along I-15.
We’re Davis County’s Diamond+ Invisalign Provider. That isn’t marketing language. Diamond+ is one of the highest tiers Invisalign offers, reserved for the most experienced clear aligner providers, and most general dentists and orthodontists never reach it. What it means for you is real experience handling the cases other offices send out, and a track record of getting the result right the first time.
Dr. Andrew Welling grew up in Bountiful. He has additional training in clear aligner treatment, smile esthetics, and digital orthodontics. He sees patients at the Farmington office alongside Dr. Rett, who completed his orthodontic residency at Loma Linda University and has a particular focus on the emotional side of smile transformations.
We’re also one of the few orthodontists in Davis County who routinely screen for airway issues during Invisalign treatment, since how your teeth align affects how you breathe and sleep. Most offices don’t look at this. We do.
Between our two offices, we have over 530 combined five-star Google reviews. The recurring theme isn’t clever marketing. It’s parents saying things like “both docs worked to make everything perfect” and adults saying “they treat you like family.” That’s what we’re trying to be: easy to work with, and a place you’d send your own kids.
What Real Farmington Families Are Saying
My son is currently being treated with Invisalign at Bailey Orthodontics and he loves it. Dr. Welling and the staff have been fabulous to work with. We have especially loved the convenience of being able to take weekly progress photos with the Invisalign app. This has allowed us to do some of his appointments virtually which has been awesome.
My son had some goofy issues with teeth that had grown in too high or sideways. Both docs worked to make everything perfect. My daughter had Invisalign and it worked so well that now I am having Bailey fix some small issues for me with Invisalign.
The Drs. are some of the best orthodontists around. They have the best team, and treat you like family. My wife and 4 kids have loved their experience with Invisalign and their beautiful new smiles.
What Invisalign in Farmington Actually Costs
We’re going to give you a real answer instead of “it depends.”
At Bailey-Welling, Invisalign is priced the same as traditional braces and our Iconix esthetic braces. The choice between them isn’t about cost. It’s about what works best for your teeth.
Treatment generally starts around $2,800 for shorter cases (touch-ups and minor corrections under six months) and increases based on complexity and length. We use clear pricing tiers based on treatment duration: under six months, under twelve months, and over a year.

How we talk about cost vs. how most orthodontist sites do
When you come in for your free consultation, you’ll leave with a specific dollar amount for your case, your insurance benefits already factored in, monthly payment options laid out, and zero pressure to decide that day.
Most dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage put $1,500 to $3,000 toward treatment. We handle the insurance paperwork on your end. Whatever’s left typically breaks into a manageable monthly payment, often with no interest. If the math doesn’t work, we’ll tell you. If it does, you’ll know exactly what you’re committing to before you sign anything.
That’s the part of the consultation that puts most people at ease. There’s no sticker shock at the end. For a fuller breakdown of how much Invisalign costs, including how the tiers work, we wrote a deeper dive for our Bountiful patients that applies just as well to Farmington.

Teeth want to drift back. Wearing your retainer (just at night, eventually) locks in your result for good.
Is Invisalign Right for Me or My Teen?
Here’s the honest version. Invisalign clear aligners work for most cases now, including ones that used to require braces. We routinely use Invisalign to treat crowded teeth, gaps and spacing, overbite and deep bite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and relapse from old orthodontic work. If you want a deeper read on whether Invisalign is the right call for your specific case, our pros and cons of Invisalign walkthrough goes further than we can here.
A few situations where braces might still be the better tool:
- Very complex bite corrections that need precise control
- Patients who genuinely won’t wear the trays the required amount
- Some adult cases involving previous dental work in specific positions
Even then, it’s a conversation, not a sentence. We’ve seen plenty of cases where another office told a patient they “weren’t a candidate” for Invisalign, and we found a path to make it work. The reverse is also true. Sometimes braces are simply the smarter call, and we’ll say so.

Invisalign for Teens in Farmington
If you’re a parent reading this, you’re probably weighing a few different things at once. Will my teen actually wear the trays? Will they lose them? Is it worth the cost compared to braces? Are they mature enough?
Here’s what we’ve learned after fitting Invisalign on a lot of Davis County teens.
Compliance is usually better than parents expect. Teens who pick Invisalign tend to pick it because they don’t want metal braces. That motivation carries through. Invisalign Teen aligners also have a small blue compliance indicator that fades when worn, so you and we can both see if they’re keeping up.
The Invisalign app makes life easier. Patients can take weekly progress photos with their phone, and we can review them remotely. That means some appointments can happen virtually instead of pulling your kid out of school. One Farmington mom told us this was her favorite part of treatment.
Lost trays are not the end of the world. Invisalign Teen includes replacement aligners built into the program. If your kid leaves a tray in a Chick-fil-A napkin (it happens), we replace it without restarting treatment.
Sports, instruments, and life don’t have to pause. No brackets means no emergency wire repairs the night before a game. Clarinet, trumpet, mouthguard for football, all easier with Invisalign than with braces.
The price is the same as braces at our office. So you’re not paying extra for the cosmetic upgrade. You’re choosing the option that fits your kid’s life best.
The hardest part of this decision is usually the worry that you’ll make the wrong call. We can promise you this: between Invisalign and traditional braces at Bailey-Welling, there isn’t a wrong call. Both are run by the same orthodontists, both produce excellent results, and both are priced the same. Pick the one your teen will actually wear consistently. That’s the one that works.

Invisalign for Adults in Farmington
If you’re considering Invisalign for yourself, you’re in good company. A significant portion of our Invisalign patients are adults, and many of them have been thinking about this for ten or twenty years before walking through the door.
The things adults tell us they were worried about, before they started:
- “I thought I was too old.” You’re not. We treat adults well into their sixties and seventies.
- “I didn’t want to look like a teenager with braces.” Invisalign solves this. Most coworkers and friends won’t notice.
- “I was worried it would affect my job.” Aligners cause a slight, temporary lisp the first few days. Then it goes away.
- “I thought it would be too painful.” Pressure during the first 2 to 3 days of a new tray, then nothing. Much milder than braces.
- “I was afraid I’d regret it.” The most common feedback we get from adult patients is that they wish they’d done it sooner.
Adult Invisalign treatment usually takes 12 to 18 months, though shorter cases can finish in 6 to 9 months and complex ones can run longer. You’ll come in every 6 to 10 weeks for a quick check, which is less than half the visit frequency of braces.

What If I Start Treatment and Want to Quit?
This is the question nobody else will write a section about, so we will.
The first week of Invisalign is the hardest. New aligners feel tight. Your tongue catches on the edges. Speaking takes effort. Some patients hit a moment around day three where they think “what did I just sign up for?”
That’s normal. It’s so normal it has a name in patient communities: the regret stage. And it almost always passes by day five to seven.
If you’re struggling, here’s what actually happens at our office:
- You call or text us. We respond. We don’t make you wait until your next appointment.
- We troubleshoot. Maybe your aligner edges need filing. Maybe an attachment is rubbing. Maybe you need a chewie to seat the tray better. There’s almost always a fix.
- We adjust the plan if needed. Real adjustments, not “tough it out.” If your case needs more time per tray, we add time per tray.
- We don’t abandon you. Treatment is a partnership. If you’re having a hard time, we want to know about it so we can help.
The most common feedback we get from patients who finish treatment is some version of “I wish I’d done this sooner.”
Is it time? A quick gut check.
Tap the ones that sound like you. No right answer, just a way to see where your head’s at.
- You’ve been thinking about it for more than a year.
- You catch yourself hiding your teeth in photos.
- Your kid has asked about straightening their teeth.
- You had braces before and things have shifted back.
- The only thing stopping you is not knowing what it costs.
What We Don’t Do
Most orthodontist pages tell you everything they offer. Here’s what we don’t do, which is sometimes more useful to know.
- We don’t pressure you to decide at your consultation. Take a week. Take a month. Come back when you’re ready.
- We don’t quote a price and add fees later. The number we give you at your consultation is the number you pay.
- We don’t recommend treatment you don’t need. If your teeth are fine, we’ll tell you.
- We don’t push Invisalign when braces are better. Same in reverse. We recommend what works for your specific case.
- We don’t make you start that same day. No “discount if you commit right now” tactics. Ever.
Should You Get Invisalign From an Orthodontist or a General Dentist?
This is a question worth answering honestly because more general dentists in Davis County offer Invisalign than ever before. If your dentist offers it, you might be wondering whether you even need to look elsewhere.
The short answer: it depends on your case, but specialization matters more than people realize.
A general dentist completes four years of dental school. An orthodontist completes those same four years, then adds two to three additional years of full-time residency focused on exactly one thing: moving teeth and correcting bites. That residency includes thousands of supervised cases and specific training in how teeth respond to force, how growth affects treatment, and how to plan complex movements that look simple but aren’t.
For very mild cases, a general dentist using Invisalign can sometimes deliver a good result. For anything more involved (bite correction, significant crowding, deep overbites, retreatment after relapse), you want someone whose entire practice is built around tooth movement. That’s the difference between a hobbyist and a specialist.
We’re not knocking general dentists. They do critical work we don’t do, and we refer patients to them constantly. But when you’re moving teeth, especially in a way that affects your bite for the rest of your life, getting it right the first time matters. That’s what an orthodontist is trained for.
Coming to Our Farmington Office From a Nearby City?
Most of our Invisalign patients drive in from somewhere nearby. Here’s roughly what that looks like.
- Kaysville (8 minutes north): Quick shot up I-15. Easier than driving south through Layton traffic.
- Centerville (10 minutes south): Often closer than a Bountiful office once you factor in side-street access.
- Fruit Heights (5 minutes): The easiest commute for most Fruit Heights families. We see a lot of you.
- Layton (12-15 minutes north): Worth the drive if you want Diamond+ Invisalign experience.
- Syracuse (20 minutes): Slightly longer, but most Syracuse patients tell us it’s worth it for the experience.
- Woods Cross and North Salt Lake (12 minutes): Either office works, but Farmington is less congested.
If you’d rather come to Bountiful instead, our Bountiful office at 59 W Pages Ln is staffed by the same orthodontists and offers the same Invisalign treatment.
What Makes Our Farmington Office Different From Our Bountiful Office
Both offices are staffed by Dr. Welling and Dr. Rett. Same orthodontists. Same Invisalign expertise. Same pricing.
A few differences worth knowing:
- The Farmington office is newer. It was fully renovated and reopened a few years ago, with updated technology and a layout designed around patient comfort.
- Location. Farmington sits right off State Street, easy to reach from north Davis County. Bountiful is closer to I-15 access from the south.
- Hours. Slightly different weekday hours at each location. If one doesn’t fit your schedule, the other might.
Pick the one that’s closer or fits your week better. Either way, you get the same care.

Common Questions About Invisalign in Farmington
How much does Invisalign cost in Farmington, UT?
Invisalign at Bailey-Welling Orthodontics in Farmington starts around $2,800 for shorter cases (touch-ups under six months) and increases based on treatment length and complexity. Invisalign is priced the same as traditional braces and Iconix esthetic braces at our office. Most dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage contribute $1,500 to $3,000 toward treatment. Monthly payment plans are available, often interest-free.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment in Farmington typically takes 12 to 18 months, depending on case complexity. Minor corrections can wrap up in 6 months or less. More involved cases may take up to 24 months. During your free consultation, we’ll give you a specific timeline based on your scan, not a generic range. Wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day is the single biggest factor in finishing on time.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most people describe it as pressure, not pain. The first 2 to 3 days of a new tray, your teeth feel tight or sore, similar to the day after a good workout. Then it settles. Compared to braces, Invisalign is meaningfully more comfortable. No brackets rubbing your cheek, no wires to tighten, no broken brackets to repair.
Will Invisalign work for complex cases?
Yes, in most situations. The technology has come a long way since Invisalign first launched. As Davis County’s Diamond+ Provider, we treat cases other practices won’t attempt with clear aligners, including complex bite corrections, deep overbites, and significant crowding. Whether Invisalign is the right tool for your specific case is exactly the kind of thing we figure out during your free consultation.
What if my teen forgets to wear their aligners?
Inconsistent wear extends treatment time. That’s the honest version. Invisalign Teen includes a blue compliance indicator that fades when worn, which gives parents a way to check without nagging. We’ll also talk to your teen directly about responsibility at the first appointment. Most teens rise to it once they understand how it works.
Can I do some appointments virtually?
Yes, for many appointments. The Invisalign app lets patients take weekly progress photos with their phone, and we can review them remotely. For routine check-ins where everything is tracking well, this saves you a trip to the office. In-person visits are still needed periodically, but virtual appointments are a real option for busy Farmington families.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
If your dental plan covers orthodontics, it almost always covers Invisalign the same way it covers braces. Coverage typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 in lifetime orthodontic benefits. We verify your specific benefits before treatment so you know what you’re actually paying out of pocket. Most insurance plans we see in Davis County include some orthodontic coverage.
How is Invisalign different from mail-order aligners like SmileDirectClub?
Mail-order aligners skip the orthodontist. There’s no in-person exam, no x-rays, no progress monitoring, and no real way to course-correct if something goes wrong. We’ve treated patients who ended up worse off than when they started after trying a mail-order option. Real Invisalign treatment is supervised by a licensed orthodontist who can adjust the plan when teeth don’t move the way the computer predicted. That’s the whole game.
Can I get Invisalign if I had braces as a kid?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons adults come see us. Teeth shift back over time, especially if you stopped wearing your retainer at some point in the late 90s or early 2000s like most of us did. Relapse cases are usually shorter and less expensive than first-time treatment. We see a lot of these.
How soon can I start treatment?
After your free consultation, if you decide to move forward, treatment typically begins within a couple of weeks once your custom aligners are fabricated based on your iTero scan. We don’t pressure same-day decisions.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
A slight lisp is normal for the first few days with new aligners. Your tongue adjusts quickly. Most patients tell us the lisp is gone within a week, and after the first couple of trays, they don’t notice it at all even with new aligners.
What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
Your first visit at our Farmington office takes about an hour. Here’s what actually happens:
- Warm welcome from our front desk team. No clipboard avalanche.
- Photos and x-rays so we can see what’s going on with your teeth and bite.
