Invisalign in Anaheim

Serving patients in Anaheim and surrounding areas in Orange County

Invisalign® is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth. Traditional braces have uncomfortable wires and brackets that are hard to clean. With Invisalign, we use medical-grade, high molecular weight, thermoplastic polymers to create an aligner that goes over your teeth. It’s a faster, more comfortable, and aesthetic procedure to align your teeth.

Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign® is best-suited for teens and adults with the following mild to moderate orthodontic issues:

• Crowded teeth
• Crooked or protruding teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Misaligned bite (over, under, or crossbite)

If you have severe cases of the issues mentioned above, Invisalign® may not work for you. To be sure that you are qualified for Invisalign and know your options, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kim.

How long does it take for Invisalign to straighten teeth?

It takes as little as 12-18 months for the Invisalign® treatment to work its straightening magic. You may see significant changes within just a month of starting the process. It’s a fast and simple way to get straighter teeth.

How many hours should you wear Invisalign?

Each set of Invisalign® aligners needs to be worn for about 20-22 hours a day, but you can remove them while eating and brushing your teeth. You’ll also need to revisit the clinic every few weeks, as prescribed by Dr. Kim to change your aligners and monitor your progress.

What happens if you miss a day of Invisalign?

Missing a day of wearing your Invisalign® aligners will delay your treatment plan, consequently costing you more money. For effective results, wear your aligners for the prescribed hours and attend the scheduled dental visits.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

Traditional braces are also effective in straightening teeth and correcting bite alignment. However, Invisalign® has the following aesthetic and practical advantages over traditional braces.

• Discreet: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making you feel less self-conscious about the treatment.
• Removable: You can eat, drink, and brush your teeth normally without worrying about damaging your aligners.
• Comfortable: The smooth finish of the aligners make them less likely to cause irritation or discomfort while you wear them.
• Faster Treatment: It takes a considerably shorter time to straighten teeth using Invisalign®.

What should I expect during my Invisalign treatment?

Experiencing tightness or slight discomfort during your first week of treatment is perfectly normal. You may also salivate more and need time to get used to the feel of the aligners. This will most likely be the case after you receive each adjustment aligner. However, you will achieve your desired results in a significantly shorter time compared to traditional braces.
