 How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the
initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made “aligners” are
produced. Each “aligner” moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced
by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign in Los Angeles?

Aesthetically pleasing: clear “aligners” are nearly undetectable to others.
More hygienic:  “aligners” are removable for brushing and flossing which helps promote healthy
teeth and helps prevent gum disease.

Comfortable and effective: unlike traditional braces, there are no wires, metal or brackets so
there is less abrasion in the mouth. Additionally, the system works in approximately the same
amount of time as traditional braces. Consult a local Los Angeles Dentist for more information.

What do “aligners” look like?

Nearly invisible “aligners” look similar to clear tooth-whitening trays but are custom-made for a
better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists have referred to them as “contact lenses for teeth.”

Is this a new way to straighten teeth?

While cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles have been using removable appliances for very limited treatment (one or two
teeth requiring movement) for years, it is the application of breakthrough technology that allows
the Invisalign System to treat a much broader range of cases with greater precision.

Who uses Invisalign?

In its first year of introduction to the orthodontic community and consumer public, nearly half of
the 300 cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles have been trained to use the Invisalign System with a patient
base of thousands.
