Unlike traditional metal braces, these aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. It’s a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces, allowing you to straighten your teeth without visible wires and brackets.
After a thorough examination and digital scans of your teeth, Dr. Raanan will create a precise 3D treatment plan. This plan maps out the exact movements of your teeth throughout the treatment. A series of custom-made clear aligners are then fabricated. You wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each new set gently moves your teeth closer to their final, desired position.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor cosmetic adjustments to more complex bite problems. It’s effective for correcting crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Dr. Raanan will conduct a thorough assessment during your consultation in Beverly Hills to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your specific needs.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and your adherence to wearing the aligners. On average, treatment can range from 6 to 18 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer. Dr. Raanan will provide you with an estimated treatment timeline during your personalized consultation.
Most patients report that Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional braces. While you may experience some mild pressure or discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, this typically subsides within a day or two and indicates that your teeth are moving as planned. There are no wires or brackets to cause irritation to your cheeks and gums.
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This means you can take them out to eat and drink anything you like, without dietary restrictions. Just remember to brush your teeth and clean your aligners before putting them back in to maintain oral hygiene.
For optimal results, it’s crucial to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. Only remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures that your teeth move according to the planned schedule.
You can clean your Invisalign aligners by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and rinsing them with lukewarm water. There are also specialized cleaning crystals and solutions available. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic.
Once your teeth have reached their ideal alignment, the active phase of your Invisalign treatment is complete. To maintain your beautiful new smile, you will need to wear retainers. Dr. Raanan offers options like Vivera® retainers (made by Invisalign) or other types of retainers to ensure your results last for years to come.
