Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign may cause mild discomfort or pressure when switching to new aligners, which is a sign your teeth are moving. This typically subsides within a few days and is much less uncomfortable than traditional braces.

How much does Invisalign cost in Glendale, CA?

Invisalign treatment at Glendale Dental Wellness typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,000 depending on the complexity of your case. We offer flexible financing options and accept most dental insurance plans.

Can I eat with Invisalign aligners in?

No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and staining. Simply brush your teeth before putting them back in.

How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?

For optimal results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures your treatment stays on schedule.

Can Invisalign fix an overbite or underbite?

Yes, Invisalign can effectively treat many bite issues including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Dr. Chan, a certified Invisalign Gold Provider, will determine if Invisalign is right for your specific bite concern.

Invisalign Clear Aligners, Catering to Adult Orthodontic Needs

If you missed the opportunity to straighten your teeth as a teen, don't despair. You can still benefit from orthodontics in your adult years. With modern advancements in this field, a straighter, more attractive smile is well within your reach with Invisalign. Invisalign clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces in meeting adults' orthodontic needs. A visit to Dr. Ivan Chan from Glendale Dental Wellness in Glendale, California, can determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.

Benefits of Invisalign for Adults in Glendale, California

Orthodontics isn't a "one size fits all" field. As an adult, you have numerous orthodontic options for perfecting your smile. Traditional metal braces have been highly successful for years in treating orthodontic issues. The drawbacks of discomfort, inconvenience, and poor esthetics, however, can make braces unappealing for adults. Enter Invisalign treatment. Invisalign clear aligners offer perks that metal braces can't match without compromising the integrity of your procedure. As teeth straightening can be a lengthy [and sometimes complex] process, choosing the right orthodontic system can make this treatment much easier to bear.

Real Patients - Real Results

Here are a few ways Invisalign caters to adults' orthodontic needs:

Discretion - Invisalign replaces the bold look of metal brackets and wires with clear, plastic aligners to realign your smile. When worn, these aligners blend in with your smile, making your treatment more discreet. You can continue living your normal lifestyle without feeling conscious about your appearance.
Comfort and Convenience - Invisalign aligners are customized to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth. Unlike metal braces that are permanently affixed to your teeth for the length of your treatment, Invisalign aligners can be removed. You'll be able to eat comfortably and keep your pearly whites clean throughout your procedure. However, it's important to note that the longer you wear your aligners, the quicker you'll achieve the desired results. Ideally, the aligners should be worn 20-22 hours daily and removed only for meals and oral hygiene.
Fewer Dental Visits - Invisalign orthodontics won't cut into your busy schedule as it requires fewer dental visits. Using advanced Invisalign technologies, Dr. Chan will meticulously plan your treatment. You'll then be given a series of aligners for your procedure with detailed instructions on using them. By following these instructions explicitly, you're almost guaranteed a successful outcome for your treatment. We will, however, schedule follow-up visits every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress and discuss any changes, if needed.
Hassle-Free Orthodontics - With Invisalign, you can avoid "crisis" situations like loose brackets, broken wires, bleeding gums, or cavities that can occur with traditional braces treatment. Invisalign can correct many of the same orthodontic problems as braces, like crooked and misaligned teeth, malocclusion, gaps, and overcrowding, without the inconveniences..
