What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an advanced transparent aligner system for straightening teeth and creating a beautiful smile. Clear aligners can correct almost all types of bite problems and tooth alignment problems. Invisalign uses custom-fitted aligners to reposition your teeth without traditional braces. Each aligner gently moves teeth towards their desired location until treatment is complete.

The Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

You deserve to feel confident when you smile. Here’s why more patients are requesting Invisalign in Woodland Hills over traditional braces.

• Virtually invisible: Speak confidently and restore your smile without anyone noticing. Invisalign trays are clear and mostly undetectable. Clear aligners won’t detract from your appearance at work.
• More Comfortable: Metal braces use wires and brackets to straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made using a smooth, comfortable material that fits snugly over your teeth. Don’t worry about sharp edges or protruding wires poking your cheeks.
• Removable: The trays are removable, making good oral hygiene easier. Take out your aligners when you enjoy a meal or brush your teeth. Remove your aligners to brush and floss, then clean your trays with a toothbrush.
• Easy to Care For: Cleaning your teeth is easy when you wear Invisalign.  Just remove your aligners to brush and floss, then clean your trays out with a toothbrush.
• No Food Limits: Eat whatever you want with Invisalign. Enjoy the hard, chewy, or sticky foods that you can’t eat when you have braces. Just remove your trays when you’re ready to eat.
• Faster Treatment: Invisalign is generally faster than metal braces. Achieve your best smile in 10-24 months with Invisalign. We can predict how long your treatment will be during your initial consultation.
• Less Check-Ups: Change your aligners at home. You only have to visit our office for a quick visit every few weeks. to ensure your progress is on track.

Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Are you considering Invisalign near Woodland Hills? Clear aligners treat various orthodontic issues, from minor gaps to significant crowding and malocclusions. Usually, if traditional braces work for you, then Invisalign will also work.

Orthodontics in Woodland Hills treats the following common orthodontic irregularities with Invisalign.

• Open Bites: An open bite occurs when some teeth don’t meet even when the mouth is closed, usually caused by thumb sucking, pacifier use, or tongue thrusting. We correct an open bite by aligning the upper and lower teeth to close correctly.
• Crossbite: If your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth, it can cause them to chip and wear down. Invisalign can correct misaligned teeth by moving them into the proper position.
• Teeth Gaps: Invisalign can close open spaces between your teeth to create a healthier mouth and a better smile.
• Crowded Teeth: Teeth can overlap and twist if there’s not enough room in your jaw to accommodate all of your teeth. Crowding can cause an uneven smile, trapping food and buildup of tartar and plaque, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.
• Underbites: Do your lower front teeth overlap your upper front teeth? You have an underbite. We correct underbites to prevent TMJ pain and dental injuries.
• Crooked or Rotated Teeth: If teeth are not aligned, Invisalign can gently rotate them until you’re happy with your smile.

The Invisalign Process: What to Expect

Are you ready to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted? Here’s what you can expect from your Invisalign in Woodland Hills treatment with our care team.

Step 1: Consultation

Visit us! During your first consultation, we will determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for your smile. Our expert orthodontist in Woodland Hills thoroughly examines your mouth, which includes a series of scans using 3D scanning technology, photographs, and X-rays.

If you are eligible for Invisalign treatment, we will develop a care plan outlining the timeframe, pricing, and procedures. We will also provide financing options for your convenience.

Step 2: Treatment

When using Invisalign aligners, it is important to wear each set for at least 22 hours daily and change them as directed. Generally, people move on to the next trays every two weeks. As you progress, your teeth will gradually move towards the desired end goal of a straighter smile. We recommend a check-up every six weeks to ensure your tooth movement stays on track. At each check-up, we will give you the following pairs of aligners to continue improving your teeth between visits.

Step 3: Love How You Look

After completing your Invisalign treatment, we’ll give you clear retainers to wear. These retainers protect your investment and keep your teeth straight by preventing orthodontic relapse in the future.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Depending on your unique smile, most Invisalign treatments take 12-18 months to complete. Minor cosmetic cases can take as little as six months from start to finish. Whereas more complex scenarios may require up to 24 months.

During your initial consultation, our Woodland Hills dentist can provide you with an estimated timeframe for your Invisalign case. Each individual is different, so it’s important to see your smile in person before providing a treatment timeframe.

By wearing your aligners as directed and changing them out as prescribed, you can ensure that your treatment stays on target. Otherwise, you could accidentally delay results and lengthen your time in aligners.

How to Care for Invisalign Trays

Keep Your Teeth Clean

Plan to clean your aligners at least twice a day with a toothbrush, lukewarm water, and antibacterial hand soap. Do not use hot water, as this could warp the aligner and delay your treatment results.

Watch Out for This!

Always remove your aligners during meals, and be sure to rinse out your mouth before putting them back on.

Protect Your Aligners

When you’re not wearing your aligners, store them in their designated case. Avoid wrapping them in napkins, increasing the chances of accidental disposal.

Handle with Care

Remember that your aligners are made of plastic, so it’s important to protect them from high-heat sources like hot cars or hot beverages, as they may become distorted. Additionally, avoid attempting to sanitize them through boiling or dishwasher use.

By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your aligners, leading toward a confident and healthy smile.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Woodland Hills?

Pricing for Invisalign treatment is dependent upon several factors, including how many aligners are required and the length of your specific treatment plan. If you have orthodontic benefits under your insurance plan, this will also reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Orthodontics in Woodland Hills offers flexible monthly payments on all Invisalign treatments, making it convenient and affordable to enjoy a straighter, healthier smile.
