Serenity Valley Family Dentistry
Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Fargo, ND
There’s a version of yourself you’ve been putting off: one with straighter teeth, a more confident smile, and the daily ease that comes with both. Whether you’ve spent years self-consciously covering your mouth in photos or you have a teenager who’s been dreading the idea of metal braces, clear aligner therapy has quietly become one of the most life-changing decisions patients make at the dentist.
At Serenity Valley Family Dentistry, Dr. Shandra Rosenfeldt has been helping Fargo families transform their smiles through cosmetic dentistry since the practice was founded in 2006. Clear aligner treatment is provided exclusively by Dr. Rosenfeldt, who brings a personalized, conservative approach to every case, taking the time to understand your goals and design a plan that genuinely fits your life.
What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set of trays is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gently guiding your teeth through small, precise movements over time. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets, no wires, and no dietary restrictions. The trays are removable, meaning you can eat, brush, and floss just as you normally would.
The Treatment Process at Serenity Valley Family Dentistry
The process begins with a thorough consultation and detailed digital scans of your teeth. Dr. Rosenfeldt uses these scans to map out a precise treatment plan, giving you a clear picture of your projected results before you even begin. From there, your custom trays are fabricated, and your treatment gets underway. Periodic check-ins at the practice allow Dr. Rosenfeldt to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments along the way.
Most adult cases are completed within 12 to 18 months, though the timeline varies depending on the complexity of your alignment needs. Simpler cases can sometimes wrap up in as few as six months. The end result is a straighter, healthier smile, achieved on your terms, at your pace.

Tongue-Ties
Being tongue-tied isn’t just a figure of speech. It’s a very real medical condition that can affect oral and facial development and have a range of other serious health consequences.
Clear Aligners for Adults
For adults who’ve been holding off on orthodontic treatment, clear aligners remove most of the barriers to treatment. The trays are virtually undetectable in everyday conversation, meaning you can move through your professional and social life without anyone knowing you’re in treatment. They’re comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them, and the removability makes oral hygiene straightforward, an important consideration for long-term dental health.
Addressing Common Adult Concerns
Adults often come to us wondering whether it’s “too late” to straighten their teeth. And fortunately, it isn’t. Research published by the American Association of Orthodontists shows that adults now account for a growing share of orthodontic patients, and clear aligners are well-suited to the range of alignment concerns most adults present with, including crowding, spacing, and mild bite irregularities.
The other concern we hear often is cost, particularly from patients who aren’t covered by insurance. As a fee-for-service practice, we work with patients who have all kinds of insurance situations, and we want you to know that coverage isn’t a prerequisite for care. Our in-house membership plan, launched in 2024, offers a practical alternative for patients seeking more affordable dental care without relying on traditional insurance. Dr. Rosenfeldt’s approach has always been to identify and remove the obstacles standing between patients and the treatment they deserve.
Invisalign for Teens
Teens face a unique set of pressures, and the last thing they need is to feel self-conscious about orthodontic hardware at school or during activities. Clear aligners offer a discreet, flexible solution that integrates into a teenager’s routine without the friction traditional braces often create. The trays can be removed for sports, school photos, and special occasions, then simply popped back in.
What Makes Teen Clear Aligner Treatment Different
Teen-specific aligner systems include compliance indicators built into the trays, small blue dots that fade with wear, giving both patients and parents a simple way to track whether aligners are being worn consistently. This makes it easier for families to stay on top of treatment progress without constant check-ins. For a deeper look at how Invisalign works for teenagers, we’ve put together a full breakdown of what the process looks like from a teen’s perspective.
Dr. Rosenfeldt works closely with teen patients to ensure they understand their role in the process and feel genuinely invested in their outcomes. That kind of engagement makes a meaningful difference in results.
No Insurance? No Problem.
Serenity Valley Family Dentistry is a fee-for-service practice, which means we’re not contracted with insurance networks, but that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. We accept and submit insurance claims on your behalf, so any out-of-network benefits you’re entitled to can still be applied toward your treatment. We also accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, and our in-house membership plan provides a straightforward, membership-based alternative for patients without adequate coverage.
We believe financial logistics should never stand between you and a smile you feel good about. During your consultation, we’ll walk through your options transparently so you can move forward with a clear plan. If you’re curious about how sedation dentistry can be combined with your treatment for added comfort, that’s a conversation worth having, too.
Let’s Build the Smile You’ve Always Wanted at Serenity Valley Family Dentistry

Dr. Rosenfeldt’s holistic approach to dental care means that clear aligner treatment is never just about moving teeth; it’s about understanding the full picture of your oral health and your goals, then building a plan that supports both. She is the sole provider of clear aligner therapy at the practice, ensuring that every case receives her direct, focused attention from the first scan to the final tray.
