Invisalign Specialist in Encino CA

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-crafted to fit your unique smile, making them a popular alternative to traditional metal braces.

Using state-of-the-art digital scans, our experienced dental team creates precise 3D images of your teeth. These scans enable us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your orthodontic needs and goals.

Each set of Invisalign aligners is worn for about one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal positions. We recommend wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, drinks (except water), brushing, and flossing. Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Encino Advanced Dentistry for routine check-ups so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

At Encino Advanced Dentistry, we want every Invisalign patient to achieve the best possible results. That’s why it’s essential to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. Our aligners are expertly designed to gradually and gently shift your teeth into their ideal position, but they can only work when you’re wearing them. You should keep your aligners in at all times, except when eating or drinking.

Wearing your aligners for fewer hours can slow your progress, lead to discomfort, or even require repeating certain stages of your treatment. Consistency is key. By following your team’s instructions regarding your daily wear time, you’ll help ensure your treatment stays on track and delivers the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve. If you have any questions about your Invisalign routine, our knowledgeable team is always here to help!

Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is essential for your oral health and to keep your treatment on track.

To keep your aligners clean, we recommend rinsing them with lukewarm water each time you remove them. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the aligners’ plastic material. Gently brush your aligners daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, unscented liquid soap—never toothpaste, as it can scratch the aligners and cause them to appear cloudy.

This prevents accidental loss and reduces exposure to bacteria. Before reinserting your aligners, always brush and floss your teeth to avoid trapping food particles or bacteria, which can contribute to tooth decay or staining during your treatment.

Only drink water while wearing your aligners—eating or drinking other beverages can stain or damage them. If your aligners do become stained, we recommend using Invisalign cleaning crystals or a cleaning solution suggested by our team to keep them clear and fresh.

By following these simple guidelines from Encino Advanced Dentistry, you’ll maintain your aligners in great condition and help ensure the success of your Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign treatment—a modern, discreet way to straighten teeth for both adults and teens. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-crafted to fit each patient’s unique smile. For adults, Invisalign provides a nearly invisible alternative to traditional metal braces, making it the perfect choice for individuals who want to maintain a professional appearance or feel more confident in social situations. Our adult patients also enjoy the convenience of being able to remove the aligners for eating, drinking, and daily oral hygiene, making it easier to keep up with their routine.

For our teen patients, Invisalign Teen is a specialized version designed to accommodate growing mouths. Invisalign Teen includes features like compliance indicators to help ensure aligners are worn as recommended, as well as room for new teeth to erupt, making it an excellent option for adolescents whose smiles are still developing.

It’s important to note that Invisalign works best when aligners are worn for 20–22 hours per day and with consistent follow-up care. During your initial consultation our dental experts will carefully assess whether Invisalign is the best solution for your specific orthodontic needs, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care and optimal results.

The duration of Invisalign treatment can vary from patient to patient. On average, most of our patients complete their Invisalign journey within 12 to 18 months. Some individuals with mild misalignments may achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex orthodontic cases could require up to two years. Your specific treatment timeline will depend on factors such as the severity of your dental misalignment, the number of aligners needed, and your commitment to wearing them for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day.
