Invisalign in Solana Beach, California

Transforming The Experience of Dentistry Since 2000

If your teeth aren’t straight, you likely want to get them fixed. Along with being aesthetically desirable, straight teeth can make it easier to eat and speak. For many years, braces were the only option available for teeth straightening.

That said, Invisalign has grown increasingly popular because of its ability to fulfill the function of braces without being nearly as noticeable. Learn more about this treatment and whether it’s right for you.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

If you have a malocclusion (i.e., a “bad bite”), you could be a good candidate for Invisalign. This treatment can address:

Underbite
Overbite
Crossbite
Crooked Teeth
Crowding

It’s important to note that these clear aligners are generally designed to treat mild cases of teeth misalignment. More severe cases are much more likely to require metal or ceramic braces.

Patients with dental implants are still eligible for Invisalign. While you can get Invisalign while having veneers, we’ll first want to assess the state of the veneers before determining whether they could impact your readiness for Invisalign.

What to Expect from Invisalign Treatment

If you’re a candidate for Invisalign, you should wear your retainers for 20-22 hours a day. This ensures that they work as intended. While this may seem like a lot of time, it does give you the opportunity to take off your aligners when eating or giving a presentation.

We’ll determine a timeline for Invisalign treatment, based on the current state of your teeth as well as the end goal. If worn for the appropriate amount of time, you’ll be able to progress through a series of aligners that will gradually straighten your teeth.
