Invisalign® aligners are an effective and discreet orthodontic treatment option that are worn comfortably over your teeth to continuously adjust alignment and spacing.
Invisalign® aligners are custom-made using models of both your current teeth and the end result you hope to achieve. With Invisalign® aligners, you will switch to new aligners every 1-2 weeks with each set shifting the teeth slightly—this continues until you have achieved your final results, which can vary from six months to two years.
You remove the Invisalign® aligners for eating, drinking and cleaning only. At first, they will feel very tight, but they will begin to loosen and feel more comfortable after a few days.
Start Transforming Your Smile
Here at Long Beach Dental Health we make the Invisalign® process nice and easy. To begin, we will take photographs of your teeth and face, and then using the iTero scanner we will get impressions of your teeth. Dr. Saad uses the latest 3D scanning technology to get accurate models of your teeth, without using the rubbery impression materials. Those scans are sent to Invisalign® with detailed instructions on how we want the final result to appear. Invisalign® will then work with Dr. Saad to finalize the amount of trays and weeks your treatment will be. Once final, the trays are made and mailed to our dentist office. You will wear a set of trays for one to two weeks at a time for approximately 6 months to 2 years, or the length of time determined by your dentist.
Start Your TransformationOur Five-Year Commitment
Invisalign® is a full-service orthodontic treatment that takes care of everything from start to end. This covers teeth whitening, all necessary trays, and post-treatment retainers. Also included is a bonded retainer, which is a little wire that is glued behind the rear of the lower front teeth. For up to five years, there is never a charge to replace missing trays; everything included is covered.
For instance, suppose you finish your treatment in ten months and in a few years realize that some teeth have moved we’ll scan you again and create customized trays for you.
