Invisalign® clear aligners in Encino

Invisalign at our Encino office

Straightening your teeth no longer has to mean brackets and wires. At Farzad Dental on Ventura Blvd in Encino (91436), Dr. Philip Farzad uses Invisalign® clear aligners to move teeth gradually into place, on a plan built around your teeth and your schedule.

Treatment starts with a digital scan. From it we map each stage of tooth movement and can show you a preview of your projected smile before you commit. You then wear a series of custom aligners, switching sets as your teeth move, with check-ins along the way to make sure things are on track.

Invisalign works well for crowding, gaps, relapse after earlier braces and many mild to moderate bite issues. Because the aligners come out for meals and brushing, most patients find them easier to live with than braces. The trade off is responsibility: aligners only work when you wear them for most of the day, usually 20 to 22 hours.

Not every case suits aligners, and we will tell you if braces or another approach would serve you better. Most treatments take about 6 to 18 months, and we will give you an estimate for your case at your consultation.
