Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly

Whether you need a simple fix or a complex shift, Invisalign aligners can straighten your teeth faster than braces without wires or metal braces. Invisalign aligners are also clear and more comfortable than traditional braces.

These virtually invisible aligners are custom-made for a perfect fit, allowing for a more natural look while gradually shifting teeth into alignment. Unlike braces, Invisalign is removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing without obstructions.

 

WHY CHOOSE INVISALIGN®?

Why Choose Invisalign® Over Traditional Braces?

Aesthetic Appeal

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for straightening your teeth. Unlike metal braces, there are no brackets or wires, so you can feel more confident during treatment.

Comfort

Made from smooth, flexible plastic, Invisalign aligners are custom-fit to your teeth and far less likely to cause irritation compared to traditional braces.

No Food Restrictions

Because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you like—no need to avoid popcorn, nuts, or sticky foods. You also don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in wires or brackets.

Easier to Clean

You can take the aligners out to brush and floss your teeth normally, helping maintain better oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

Fewer Office Visits

Invisalign typically requires fewer visits for adjustments compared to traditional braces, which is ideal for those with busy schedules.

Predictable Results

Using advanced 3D imaging, Invisalign allows you to see a preview of your expected results before treatment even begins. Each set of aligners is carefully designed to move your teeth gradually and precisely.

 

INVISALIGN FAQ

What Makes Invisalign® for Adults and Teens So Great?

If you are a teen or adult seeking discreet corrective dentistry options, Invisalign® may be right for you. Invisalign® trays are barely noticeable because they are made of strong, clear plastic. Even better, you remove the trays to eat and brush your teeth. When you eliminate the need for metal wires and brackets that trap food next to the teeth, you decrease the chance that there will be any lasting stains or damage to the teeth.

Who is the Ideal Candidate for Invisalign®?

Early on, Invisalign® was limited to use in those with mild to moderate misalignment (malocclusion). Thanks to advances in dental technologies, Invisalign® now treats significant gaps and spacing issues, overcrowding, and serious malocclusion. Now that the clear aligner trays can be made to accommodate rubber bands, bite issues don’t stand a chance.

What Can I Expect With Invisalign®?

Dr. Skidmore uses state-of-the-art technology to complete a thorough examination of the teeth and mouth structures. He then creates a customized treatment plan with the help of 3-D imaging. Patients get to see a visual representation of their teeth being guided into place by a series of clear aligner trays. This type of clear braces must be worn a minimum of 22 hours per day. You will change trays according to the schedule established by your Temecula dentist. Each tray moves teeth and jaws one step closer to their ideal position. Treatment can last from six months to two years depending on the issues being corrected. For a period of time after treatment, you will likely wear a retainer to prevent teeth from shifting.

Surprise Benefits for Both Adults and Teens

Not only do Invisalign® trays provide discreet orthodontic care, but they can also actually improve gum and teeth health because gums fit snugly against properly aligned teeth. Overcrowded teeth tend to create hidden areas that are nearly impossible to reach. As plaque builds up, gums become inflamed, and teeth are prone to decay. Since the trays are removable, both adult and teenage patients report improved oral hygiene practices.
