What is the Invisalign Process
at BioDental in Encino?

Initial Consultation

Your Invisalign journey starts with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Matian. During this visit, he carefully examines your teeth, gums, and bite to assess your oral health and determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Dr. Matian will listen to your concerns, discuss your goals, and explain how Invisalign in Encino works to straighten teeth while maintaining comfort.

Custom Treatment Plan

Dr. Matian will use 3D imaging technology to take detailed digital scans or impressions of your teeth. These images will be used to create a precise virtual model of your mouth, allowing him to map out every step of your treatment. He’ll then show you a digital preview of how your teeth will move and how your smile will look at the end of the process.

Receiving Your Clear Aligners

Dr. Matian will ensure the first set fits perfectly and feels comfortable in your mouth. He will walk you through how to wear and care for your aligners. Each aligner will guide your teeth through a specific stage of alignment, and you’ll typically switch to a new set every one to two weeks. Dr. Matian will provide you with enough aligners to last until your next check-up.

Wearing Your Aligners

To achieve a straighter smile effectively, you’ll need to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours a day. You’ll remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This flexibility allows you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene. By wearing them consistently, you’ll keep your treatment on track and achieve the desired results on time.

Monitoring Your Progress

Regular check-ins with Dr. Matian are an essential part of our Encino Invisalign process. These visits are typically scheduled every 6-8 weeks and are shorter and less invasive than the adjustments required for braces. During these appointments, Dr. Matian will evaluate your progress, ensure your teeth are moving as planned, and provide your next sets of aligners.

Maintaining Your Results

Once your teeth have reached their final positions, Dr. Matian will discuss how to maintain the results for years to come. He may recommend a custom-made retainer to wear at night, which helps keep your teeth in their new alignment. Retainers are crucial in preventing any shifting after orthodontic treatment and help you maintain a beautifully straight smile.

Invisalign for Kids/Teens in Encino

Invisalign clear aligners for kids and teens in Encino  is an excellent choice for younger patients who need orthodontic treatment but prefer a more discreet and comfortable option than traditional braces.

Invisalign for teens, specifically, is designed to accommodate the unique needs of growing mouths. The clear aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning, which makes maintaining oral hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces. Invisalign for teens can prevent future dental issues by guiding the growth of permanent teeth and helping to correct problems like overcrowding and misalignment early on. This results in a more confident smile and can improve self-esteem during crucial social and developmental years.

Traditional Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires fixed to the teeth to gradually shift them into alignment. While effective for complex cases, they are highly visible and can cause discomfort due to sharp edges or irritation. Braces also require dietary adjustments to avoid damaging the hardware and demand meticulous oral hygiene to prevent food particles from becoming trapped. They can also cause considerable self-consciousness.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, like Invisalign, offer a discreet alternative to braces. Made of smooth, transparent plastic, they are virtually invisible and removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss without any restrictions. Clear aligners in Encino are custom-made for each stage of your treatment, and they gradually shift your teeth into place. They provide a more comfortable and convenient option for achieving a straighter smile without the discomfort or embarrassment of metal braces.
