Nice Smile

Invisalign® is by far the best solution for mild to moderate crooked teeth. All you have to do is read the reviews and you’ll quickly learn that one of the oldest removable tooth straightening systems is also the most reliable.

Don’t DIY Clear Braces

While you may be attracted to the DIY versions that you find online, those clear braces could actually do more harm than good. In addition, they could cause permanent damage.

Sending in a picture of your teeth and an impression isn’t the best way to order customized clear plastic braces. Furthermore, your progress isn’t monitored by a cosmetic dentist in Laguna Hills.

As a result, this could have harmful effects, especially if you weren’t a good candidate for removable braces in the first place.

What is Invisalign®?

According to Saddleback Dentistry, Invisalign® uses a serious of clear plastic aligners that are custom made to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Depending on your situation you will be prescribed a number of aligners that you’ll replace every seven to 14 days. This is dependent on your Invisalign® blueprint.

During your treatment time you’ll wear your clear plastic braces for 22 hours every day.  The only time you’ll remove them is when you eat a meal and brush and floss your teeth. It is imperative that you stay the course. If you don’t, your treatment time might be impeded.

Treatment time for Invisalign® can take as little as six weeks. However, most patients see final results in 12 to 18 months. This is much quicker than conventional wires and brackets. Standard braces can take up to 24 months.

Is Everyone a Good Candidate?

While most people with mild to moderate crooked teeth are great candidates for Invisalign®, patients with severe over or under bites or wide spaces between teeth may fare better with conventional braces.

In addition, people who have pegged teeth or teeth that are too short may not be suitable for clear braces either.

What is Invisalign® Good For?

  • Crowding
  • Spacing
  • Mild to Moderate Bite Problems
  • Underbites
  • Overbites
  • Crossbites
  • Openbites
  • Small Spaces Between Teeth
  • Rotated Teeth
