Invisalign® Treatment Los Angeles, CA - Beverly Grove Neighborhood
Do you wish you had straighter teeth, but don't want to experience metal or clear braces? Invisalign® may just be the perfect option for getting those straight teeth. Schedule an appointment with our cosmetic dentist Dr. Flynn at Shaun Flynn DDS Advanced Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign®.
Advanced Straightening Method
Invisalign® has been an available method for straightening teeth since 1999. It is a popular straightening method due to how comfortable, convenient, and invisible the whole process is for patients. Many of our Beverly Grove Los Angeles Invisalign patients were thrilled with the results that this type of procedure produced for them. Check out our Smile Gallery to see how Invisalign® has dramatically changed the smiles of patients.
Initial Consultation
To begin, you will have a consultation with Dr. Flynn to determine what your teeth straightening goals are and to establish whether you are a candidate for this method. As part of the process to determine if you are a candidate, our Los Angeles, CA dental staff will take x-rays and pictures, as well as make impressions of your teeth for models. If you are established as a candidate for Invisalign®, these x-rays, pictures and impressions will be utilized to create your exact treatment course which will show exact teeth movements throughout the process.
Invisalign Treatment
Clear, custom-made aligners will then be personally created to follow your treatment plan. You will be required to wear the aligners throughout the day, only removing them to eat, brush or floss. While the actual time frame may vary slightly, you will change your aligner trays to a new tray every two weeks. At Shaun Flynn DDS Advanced Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry, we will check your progress about every 6 weeks. The length of treatment time will vary by individual but Dr. Flynn will give you an estimated date of completion according to your progress and results.
Oral Care & Your Invisalign Aligners
Aligners will need to be properly cleaned, but because they can be removed you won’t have to make any drastic changes to your diet or oral care routine (which you would have to do with braces). You won’t have to worry that certain foods will damage brackets or wire. Just remove your aligners prior to mealtime and you’re all set.
The
same goes for your oral care routine. Just remove your aligners prior
to brushing and flossing. It’s that simple. You won’t have to
worry about carefully trying to brush around the brackets of traditional braces,
where food and bacteria can easily hide. Invisalign makes it easy to
continue caring for your teeth and gums without changing your daily
routine. Invisalign fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
