Step One: The Consultation and Scan
Treatment starts with a free consultation. Dr. Friedman examines your teeth, talks through what you want to change, and captures the records needed to plan your case. From that scan, he maps every tooth's path from its current position to its target, then designs the full series of trays around that plan.
You leave the first visit knowing your treatment time and your exact cost. Nothing begins until you understand the plan and agree to it.
Step Two: Your Custom Trays Arrive
Your aligners are manufactured to fit only your teeth. Each tray differs slightly from the one before, and each applies gentle pressure to move specific teeth a planned amount. You wear a tray for roughly two weeks, then advance to the next in the series.
Sharon Springs Dental works with two systems. Invisalign, averaging about $5,500, handles a wide span of crowding, spacing, and bite corrections. CandidPro, averaging about $4,500, includes remote monitoring so you submit progress photos from your phone between trays.
Step Three: Wearing and Tracking Progress
You keep the trays in about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, and clean your teeth. The team tracks your progress with current digital technology, comparing where your teeth are against where the plan says they should be. If something needs adjusting, we catch it early rather than at the end.
That tracking is the part many patients underrate. Steady monitoring keeps the case on schedule and keeps your final result faithful to the plan you approved.
Step Four: Finishing and Holding the Result
When you reach your final tray, your teeth have arrived at their planned positions. The early trays feel snug for a day or two each, then comfortable, and most people speak normally within a week of starting. Because trays come out for meals, your eating never changes.
After the last tray, you move to a retainer that holds the new alignment. Wear it as directed and the result stays. We fit your retainer and explain the routine before you finish active treatment.
Who This Process Works For
The clear-braces process fits adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues who will commit to wearing the trays. Discipline drives the outcome here. If you keep the aligners in and follow the swap schedule, the process delivers.
Certain cases fall outside what aligners can do. Severe skeletal bite problems, major rotations, or active decay and gum disease usually need a different approach or preliminary treatment. Dr. Friedman flags that at the consult so you start with realistic expectations.
Driving In from Suwanee
From Old Town Suwanee and the Town Center area, take Peachtree Industrial Boulevard north, then connect to Peachtree Parkway toward Cumming. Sharon Springs Dental sits at 1475 Peachtree Parkway. Suwanee is one of the communities the practice has served for years, so the route is a familiar one for many existing patients.
If you are coming off Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, head toward Peachtree Industrial, then north into Forsyth County and watch for the office on Peachtree Parkway. Parking sits at the building, and weekday appointments open at 7:30 in the morning.
Meet Your Doctor
A step-by-step process is only as good as the person planning it. Dr. Michael C. Friedman, DDS, brings more than 20 years of experience and roughly 20,000 treated patients to every case he maps. He trained at New York University, belongs to the Spear Study Club and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and stays current through ongoing education in his field.
As a third-generation dentist, he approaches each clear-braces plan with precision and explains every stage so you always know where you are in the process. Outside the office he lives in Marietta and sails on Lake Allatoona.

Local FAQ — Suwanee, GA
How does the scan at the start of treatment work?
A: Dr. Friedman captures detailed records of your teeth and bite, then uses them to plan each tooth's movement. That plan generates your custom series of trays. You see your treatment time and cost before anything is manufactured.
Do Suwanee patients ever come in for progress checks, or is it all remote?
A: It depends on the system. Invisalign patients visit periodically for in-office checks, while CandidPro patients submit phone photos and come in far less. Suwanee sits close enough to the Cumming office that either option is convenient.
What orthodontic coverage is common among Suwanee-area plans?
A: Suwanee patients carry a range of employer dental plans, some with orthodontic benefits and some without. We verify your specific coverage at the consultation. Membership and financing options cover patients without insurance.
How long will my case take if I live in Suwanee?
A: Most clear-braces cases run six to 18 months depending on how much movement your teeth need. After the scan, Dr. Friedman gives you a specific estimate. Following the tray schedule keeps you on track.
What is the drive time and parking situation from Town Center?
A: From Suwanee Town Center, expect a short drive up Peachtree Parkway to the Cumming office, with parking right at the building. Early-morning weekday slots open at 7:30 if you prefer to come before work.
