Invisalign in La Verne, CA

Getting a straighter smile is no longer restricted to only braces. With Invisalign, you can discover the smile you’ve always wanted with the flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Once previously limited, current advancements now allow us to treat almost all adults, teens, and  even children using Invisalign. Let us show you what’s possible!

Why should I choose
Invisalign?

Because the sooner you get treatment for your child, the better the alignment of their teeth and jaws will be. Orthodontic problems often become obvious as early as the age of 6-8 in some kids. By using special early orthodontic treatments, orthodontists can correct lots of these problems while your child’s jaws are still growing, and before all of their permanent teeth erupt. This is known as “Phase 1” orthodontic treatment. Getting phase 1 treatment can simplify your child’s future treatment with braces, and can even eliminate the need for further orthodontic procedures, in some cases.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with your orthodontist. They will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign, or other available treatment options.

Aligner Fitting & Pick Up

Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign, your orthodontist will take digital scans of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. In some cases, your orthodontist may need to attach small fixtures called Invisalign Attachments to your teeth to help keep the aligners securely in place.

Check-ins

While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign trays are fitting correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't have severe oral health or orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the right solution for your smile. However, if your dentist identifies extensive orthodontic problems, they may recommend metal or ceramic braces instead. To determine the best treatment option for your needs, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation today.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience pain, we suggest taking Tylenol rather than ibuprofen, as ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory properties can affect tooth movement.
Most patients are advised to wear their Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, although this may vary based on your specific treatment requirements. You will likely only need to remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing your aligners ensures optimal treatment progress and faster teeth shifting.
Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is easy. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and water to gently clean your trays, removing any food particles or plaque. When you take out your aligners to eat, brush, or floss, store them in their case to protect them from bacteria and damage.
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows your dentist to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
The process begins with taking scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to your dentist to be fitted and delivered to you.
