Are You Ready for Invisalign?

Invisalign is an excellent treatment solution for both adults and teens looking to straighten their smile. If you’re considering this treatment, it’s essential to know whether you’re a good candidate for Invisalign and what the process involves.

Alignment Issues

Invisalign is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crooked teeth, gaps, or overbites. If you have more severe dental problems, traditional braces may be a better option. During your consultation, our dentist will assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you.

Are You Committed to Wearing Aligners?

Invisalign aligners are removable, but for the best results, you must wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. If you’re committed to following this rule, Invisalign can effectively shift your teeth into the desired position. Regularly removing the aligners can inhibit progress and extend the treatment process.

Regular Dental Visits

Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to have regular appointments every 6-8 weeks to check your progress and receive new aligners. These appointments ensure your treatment stays on track and any adjustments are made.

If you’re ready for a straighter smile without the inconvenience of traditional braces, contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today. We offer Invisalign to patients in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and surrounding areas, helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted in a discreet and comfortable way. Schedule a consultation with us to get started!
