Many dentists now offer Invisalign in Los Angeles due to its increasing popularity. The technology put into the Invisalign aligners has become so advanced in recent years that it is able to correct many of the same orthodontic issues as traditional, metal braces. Whether you have overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, overcrowding, or gaps between teeth, our Los Angeles orthodontist can provide you with Invisalign for an effective and discreet solution.
Finding an Invisalign provider should not be too difficult, but before you can get your aligners, you will need to undergo a consultation to make sure you are a good candidate. During this initial exam, the dentist will evaluate your oral health to make sure there are no underlying cases of gum disease and tooth decay. The dentist will also use this time to discuss what needs to be done in order for the treatment to be successful.
You will need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day in order for your teeth to realign. You should remove your aligners during meals so that the forces of chewing will not damage the aligners. Make sure to brush your teeth after every meal so that food particles do not adhere to the aligners once you put them back on.
