Invisalign^® Cerritos, CA

Invisalign® aligners are a seamless option for transforming your smile. These invisible trays can help you feel good about straightening your teeth and are often chosen by young professionals. At Dentist of Cerritos, we provide this popular orthodontic treatment as an option to help you get the smile you deserve, all on your own terms!

How Does Invisalign^® Function?

Invisalign® trays function similarly to braces. In essence, they help correct crooked teeth and pull them back into alignment. Invisalign® aligners are made of clear plastic and molded to fit your teeth. Dentist of Cerritos will take digital impressions of your teeth to ensure a custom fit. We will then evaluate your progress every couple of weeks. Invisalign® trays are typically worn between 12 to 36 months.

How is Invisalign^® Different from Braces?

Invisalign® does not have wires or brackets like traditional braces. The clear trays are removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss as usual. They are typically more expensive than braces, but individuals who want a clear option often prefer them.

What Are the Specific Benefits of Invisalign^® Treatment?

In addition to providing an invisible orthodontic option, Invisalign® trays come with specific benefits. Since they do not have brackets or wires, they are more comfortable to wear. Also, they are easier to keep clean since they can be removed at a moment’s notice.

What Are the Reasons I Might Not Want to Choose Invisalign^®?

If you are prone to losing or misplacing things, Invisalign® aligners may not be for you. Also, if you are unlikely to have them on for at least 22 hours of the day, a more permanent option like braces might be best. It is additionally important to never wear them while consuming hot beverages because this can warp the carefully molded plastic.

How Do I Know if I Should Choose Invisalign^®?

If you want to straighten your smile without the hassle of brackets and wires, Invisalign® may be a good option for you. If you speak in public or simply want something that is not noticeable, Invisalign® aligners have an advantage over traditional metal braces. However, porcelain ceramic braces are also almost invisible.

What Invisalign^® Alternatives Does Dentist of Cerritos Offer?

Two alternatives to Invisalign® that are offered by Dentist of Cerritos are traditional metal braces and porcelain ceramic braces. Traditional metal braces are slightly more durable than porcelain ceramic braces, but porcelain ceramic braces are often clear or tooth-colored. Each type of braces has its advantages, and Dentist of Cerritos will also be happy to review your orthodontic treatment options with you.

Can I Still Wear Invisalign^® Trays if I Grind My Teeth?

You can still wear Invisalign® trays if you grind your teeth. Instead of hurting the plastic, the plastic actually protects your teeth from wearing the others down.

How Can I Keep Invisalign^® Trays from Dentist of Cerritos Clean?

It is important to remember to remove your Invisalign® trays before you eat or drink. You should then brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in your mouth. Each night, you can rinse your aligner trays in lukewarm water and brush them with your toothbrush. These simple steps will help keep your Invisalign® trays from Dentist of Cerritos clean!

How Much is Invisalign^® at Dentist of Cerritos?

Invisalign® usually costs between $3,000 and $7,000. However, dental insurance may help cover some of the cost. In addition, Dentist of Cerritos offers cost-effective orthodontic treatments and easy payment plans. Simply reach out to us to review your options!
