Clear Aligners
Choose Invisalign for a Straighter Smile
Do you want a straighter smile, but dread the idea of having traditional metal braces? With clear aligners, you can achieve a beautiful, aligned smile without sacrificing your style or self-confidence. Whether you'd like to solve crowded teeth, gaps, or bite misalignments, Dr. Mariam and Dr. Yara can help your smile with clear aligners in Glendora.
Clear aligners are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for treating various orthodontic concerns, including:
- Straightening overcrowded teeth.
- Closing unwanted gaps.
- Correcting your overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
- Clear aligners, which are virtually invisible, let you straighten your teeth without the self-consciousness that often follows wearing metal braces.
- Aligners are removable, which means you can eat, brush, and floss with no restrictions.
- Clear aligners tend to cause less discomfort than traditional braces, as the gentle pressure exerted is more controlled and gradual.
- With fewer office visits required for adjustments, clear aligners fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles, making it a convenient choice for adults and teens alike.
Your Initial Consultation: First, you will meet with Dr. Mariam or Dr. Yara to discuss your smile goals. They will assess your smile to see if you are a good candidate for Invisalign clear aligners and give you advice for the best treatment for you to follow.
A Custom Treatment Plan: If it is decided that you are a suitable candidate, we'll use 3D imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan for your smile to map out the step-by-step transformation of your smile.
Receiving Your Aligners: We'll then create a series of custom-made aligners which you'll need to wear consistently. Each set of your aligners will likely be work for about two weeks before moving on to the next.
The Progress Checks: During your treatment, you'll visit our team for periodic check-ups so that we can actively monitor your progress and make sure that your aligners are effectively shifting your teeth.
Last Steps: Once you’ve completed the series of Invisalign, we can help make the final refinements to perfect your smile. We'll also provide you with a custom nightguard retainer to maintain your new smile's alignment.
- Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them.
- Clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, gentle soap.
- Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
- Soak your aligners in cleaning solution or denture cleaner weekly.
How long does this treatment take?
The duration of your aligner treatment will vary depending on the complexity of your misalignment. On average, if you wear your aligners as instructed, your treatment could last between 12 to 18 months.
Are clear aligners painful to wear?
While clear aligners are generally less painful than traditional braces, you may experience some mild discomfort each time you switch to a new set. This sensation is typically short-lived, and indicates that your treatment is working!
Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?
We recommended removing your clear aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining of the aligners and ensures that food particles don't get trapped, which could lead to cavities.
What happens after I complete my treatment?
After you finish wearing your aligners, we'll make any necessary refinements to ensure your smile is perfect. You'll also be given a retainer to wear to maintain the new position of your teeth.
