Our Four-Step Orthodontist-Led Process
1. Consult with a Specialist
Visit our clinic in Eagan, St. Paul, or Apple Valley for a thorough consultation. Our doctors will evaluate your dental health to ensure you are an appropriate candidate for Smile Express.
2. Precise Digital Scanning
We utilize the iTero™ scanner to create a digital map of your smile. This ensures your Invisalign aligners are manufactured for a precise fit, and allows you to review the projected results before beginning.
3. Receive Your Custom Kit
Your custom aligner kit is delivered directly to your home. It includes your Invisalign clear aligners and the essential tools required to begin your Invisalign® treatment according to our clinical plan.
4. Guided Progress
Wear your aligners as directed by Dr. Nesbitt or Dr. Bulatova. Our specialists monitor your progress via Remote Care to ensure your teeth move safely into their final, ideal position.
Reliable Results with Clinical Oversight

- Professional Efficiency: Achieve your results in as few as two in-office visits. This process is designed to fit a professional lifestyle without compromising the quality of care.
- Verified Safety: Unlike “DIY aligner” options, every Smile Express patient receives professional x-rays and diagnostic records. We ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and stable before any tooth movement occurs.
Lakeside Orthodontics Reviews
“Excellent experience with the orthodontist and staff! Everyone was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable during every visit. The office was clean, appointments were on time, and the treatment was explained clearly. I was very happy with the results and highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great orthodontic care!”
Everyone there is so helpful and knowledgeable and patient!
Lakeside Ortho is kind and professional. They are great at communication too.
The orthodontist here seems genuinely detail-oriented, which gave me confidence from the start. During appointments they explain exactly why certain teeth are moving slower or why adjustments are necessary. One time they noticed my retainer wasn’t fitting properly anymore and fixed the issue immediately instead of waiting until the next visit. The waiting room can get crowded after school hours, but once appointments begin everything feels calm and efficient.
The team here at Apple Valley are awesome! They’re all so nice and welcoming. I was so scared when I first came in being an adult and getting braces, but they made me feel so seen. I would 100% recommend!!

Smile Express FAQ
How does Smile Express differ from full treatment?
Smile Express focuses on cosmetic adjustments for mild to moderate spacing or crowding, usually averaging treatment time of six months.1 Full orthodontic treatment addresses more complex bite issues that require more frequent in-office monitoring at our clinics.
Who is a candidate for Smile Express?
This treatment is designed for adult patients. During your first visit, we will perform a clinical exam to confirm if this accelerated path is suitable for your specific needs.
What is the commitment for office visits?
To maintain our standards of clinical excellence, we require at least two in-person appointments: an initial diagnostic visit to begin treatment and a final evaluation to confirm your results are stable and precise.
Transparent Pricing and Value
At $99 down and $99/month, Smile Express is a cost-effective solution for minor adjustments, typically costing significantly less than comprehensive orthodontic care. This provides a reliable and professional path to a healthier bite that fits your budget.
