Our expert in Invisalign in Los Angeles will need to perform a complete exam to determine your candidacy for Invisalign. While not everyone is a candidate, many are. Candidates for Invisalign include those with minor to moderate overbites, underbites, crossbites, crooked teeth, and  gapped or crowded teeth. Your teeth should be healthy and free of any untreated dental disease.

After your consultation, we can begin creating a treatment plan. Our Los Angeles Invisalign dentist will take a series of records, such as dental X-rays, impressions, and photographs. These will be used to create a 3D model of your mouth and other images that will form the basis of your treatment plan. The position of each tooth will be carefully manipulated until it has been moved into its ideal and properly balanced position.

This treatment plan is used to design the aligners. Each aligner is used to move teeth just a little bit more than the last, and aligners are changed after every two weeks of wear. For the best results, you need to wear the aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day. Remove your aligners when you eat or drink and when you brush or floss your teeth. Taking good care of your teeth during treatment can ensure the best results when treatment is complete.
