Revolutionizing Dentistry with Invisalign

Invisalign has transformed orthodontic treatment.

Using a series of custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth, you can begin to see results in as little as 6 weeks and could have the smile of your dreams in a year. Let’s take a closer look at how it works and what sort of results you can expect.

How Invisalign Works

Your Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with Dr. Jindia at either our Covina or Long Beach location. He’ll assess your teeth, take x-rays, photographs, and digital scans to create a 3D model of your mouth. Using this model, Dr. Jindia will then develop a personalized treatment plan based on the predicted movement of your teeth over time.

Custom-Made Aligners

Once you and Dr. Jindia have gone over all the details, a series of aligners will be created specifically for you. These aligners are made from a patented, BPA-free material that is both strong and comfortable. Each set of aligners will make small adjustments to your teeth, and on average you'll wear a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks. Each aligner is created to shift your teeth an exact amount, according to the treatment plan.

Wearing Your Aligners

You should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They’re completely removable, which makes it easy to brush and floss, and best of all, eat whatever you want without restrictions. You’ll visit Dr. Jindia every 4-6 weeks for a progress check and to receive your next set of aligners.

When Will You See Results?

One of the most common questions patients ask is when they can expect to start seeing changes after beginning Invisalign treatment. Most people notice subtle changes after just a few weeks, and by the time you switch to your third or fourth set of aligners (around 6 to 8 weeks into treatment), you should see visible improvement in the alignment of your teeth.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The length of Invisalign treatment will depend on the complexity of your specific case. For minor adjustments, Invisalign can take as little as 6 months. For more complex dental cases, treatment may last up to 18 months or more. However, most people complete their treatment within 12 months. Only one year to the smile you’ve always dreamed of!

It’s important to note that following Dr. Jindia’s advice and wearing your aligners as prescribed can help make sure you get the best results possible.
