OrthoWorks brings world-class Invisalign care to Hercules patients from our office on Alfred Nobel Drive. Treatment here is led by Dr. David Shen, DMD, recognized globally among the top five most experienced Invisalign providers and a Top 1% Elite Provider. For Hercules residents balancing work, family, and life along the San Pablo Bay, Invisalign offers a quiet, flexible way to fix a smile that has been on your mind for years.
Invisalign for Hercules Patients
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into their planned position. The trays come off for meals and brushing, look nearly invisible, and require fewer in-office visits than traditional braces. For Hercules residents who commute into Berkeley, San Francisco, or the I-80 corridor, that means treatment fits around a work schedule instead of running it. Most adult cases complete in 9 to 15 months.
We treat the full range of Invisalign cases at our Hercules office, from teens at Hercules Middle & High School who want a discreet alternative to braces, to adults from the Waterfront, Foxboro, and the broader Hercules and Pinole communities who postponed care in their twenties. Crowding, spacing, deep bite, crossbite, open bite, and post-treatment relapse all fall within our scope.
What Sets OrthoWorks Apart
Dr. Shen earned his DMD at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and has practiced orthodontics exclusively for more than 30 years. He chairs the Advisory Board at Penn’s School of Dental Medicine, served on the faculty at UCSF, and lectures internationally at the American Association of Orthodontists Annual Convention. He founded OrthoWorks and grew it from three original offices to more than ten Bay Area locations, treating more than 60,000 patients along the way. Our team includes nine board-certified orthodontic specialists with more than 100 combined years of experience. OrthoWorks is the longest-standing privately owned orthodontic group in the Bay Area.
Serving Patients Near the Hercules Waterfront and Pinole
Our Hercules office on Alfred Nobel Drive sits within easy reach of the Waterfront neighborhood, where the San Francisco Bay Trail runs parallel to the San Pablo Bay. Families from Foxboro, the Bayfront corridor, and the Ohlone Elementary, Hanna Ranch Elementary, and Lupine Hills Elementary zones reach us in minutes. Patients from Pinole, Rodeo, and the West Contra Costa Unified School District communities of El Cerrito and Richmond also drive in for appointments. Refugio Creek runs through the heart of the city, and our office is positioned for patients on either side of it.
What to Expect
Your first visit is a complimentary Invisalign consultation. We take a digital iTero scan (no impressions), show you a 3D preview of your finished smile, and walk through investment and timing together. You wear each aligner for one to two weeks, and we see you every 6 to 10 weeks for short progress checks. Treatment finishes with refinement aligners if needed, plus retainers and a long-term retention plan.
