The Invisalign Treatment Process
Hundreds of happy smiles have emerged from South Pasadena Dental Group.
Getting Your Tooth Impressions
Once you’ve decided to move forward with Invisalign treatment in South Pasadena, we’ll schedule your next appointment, where we’ll take X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth. Our orthodontist will utilize these images to make a digital 3-D image of your teeth. Using the digital image, our dentists will custom-form your set of clear aligners.
Wearing Your Custom Aligners
When you arrive for your treatment visit, our staff will show you how to put in your first Invisalign trays, how to clean and care for your aligners, and how often you need to wear the aligners. Most often, you’ll be prescribed to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, every day. You wear your aligners all day and night, but take them out when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. About every two weeks, you’ll start wearing a new set of aligners as your teeth gradually move into the desired position.
Completed Treatment Celebration
After you diligently wear your aligners for the prescribed amount of time, your treatment will be complete, and it’s time to celebrate! But the services of South Pasadena Dental Group don’t stop there. As with many orthodontic treatments, you’ll be fitted with a custom-made retainer based on your last set of aligners that you’ll be asked to continue wearing to keep your teeth in place. We use retainers which are made of a strong, long-lasting material that resists cracking or breaking.

More About Clear Braces
Clear braces in South Pasadena are a new and improved technology for alignment.
Simply put, clear braces are a way to align your teeth without anyone else knowing. If you have alignment problems or crooked teeth, Invisalign in South Pasadena might be the option for you. Clear braces are custom molded clear trays made to fit to your teeth and align them at the same time. With clear braces you are required to visit the dentist every few months to receive a new set of Invisalign trays for aligning your teeth. Each tray moves them little by little until the total treatment is complete. However, one of the down sides to clear braces is that you are accountable for wearing them and making sure your teeth are being aligned. If you don’t wear your Invisalign for the recommended 23 hours a day, the alignment treatment will take even longer. If you think clear braces aren’t for you, we also offer traditional metal braces in South Pasadena as well. Metal braces are still a highly effective treatment for patients of all ages. If you want to learn more about clear braces in South Pasadena versus your option for metal braces, contact our orthodontist. We are more than happy to answer any of your questions about your options for dental treatments. We are available 24/7 by phone at (626) 441-6234.
