Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign clear braces have revolutionized the way we think about teeth straightening. At Healthy Living Dentistry in Foothill Ranch, CA, we believe in providing treatments that deliver effective results and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Invisalign: A Discreet Path to a Straighter Smile

Invisalign clear braces are designed for comfort and flexibility, offering a nearly invisible solution for straightening teeth. The custom aligners are crafted from flexible thermoplastic that fits snugly over your teeth, applying gentle pressure to shift them into place over time. 

These clear aligners are ideal for adults and older teens and discreetly address a variety of issues, such as crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign trays are removable, meaning there are no food restrictions. You can brush and floss easily, which reduces your risk of developing cavities and gum disease. 

Wearing Invisalign Aligners

Your Invisalign journey starts with a detailed digital scan our dentist uses to create your custom treatment plan. You’ll receive several sets of clear aligners and wear each for a week or two before moving on to the next in the series. Wear your aligners 20-22 hours daily to achieve the best results, and remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and your daily dental care routine.

Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you'll visit Healthy Living Dentistry periodically so we can monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments. It's a streamlined process that seamlessly blends into your life without the brackets and wires of traditional braces.

Once you reach your final aligner, maintaining your new smile is key. We'll guide you through the final steps, which may include a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in place.
