Invisalign® Advantages

  • Invisalign® is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. It uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • Invisalign’s clear aligners provide added benefits: self-confidence, comfort, and improved dental hygiene.
  • Invisalign® fits seamlessly into any lifestyle. The clear aligners are all but invisible, so no one will notice you are wearing them.
  • Invisalign® does not use brackets or wires that can irritate your mouth. As treatment does not require metal or wire adjustments, you will also have shorter appointments.
  • You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, floss, and even whiten your teeth if desired!

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign prevents the consequences of malocclusion (bad bite), such as recession, decay, bone loss, and excessive tooth wear.

The Invisalign® Difference

The number one concern patients have before starting orthodontic treatment is how long it will take. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to enhance their social, psychological, and overall health. However, most adult patients do not want orthodontic treatment for an extended period.

Accelerated orthodontics is an advanced treatment option that can achieve your dental goals in much less time. The main advantage of accelerated orthodontics is speed. With traditional orthodontics, patients may need to wear braces for two to four years or clear aligners for 12 months, but with accelerated orthodontics, the time is reduced by as much as 50%. In fact, most of our accelerated cases finish in 3-5 months!

If you’ve always been bothered by crooked teeth or have problems with biting and chewing but didn’t want to commit to wearing braces, accelerated orthodontics may be the answer. It will significantly shorten your Invisalign® or braces treatment.

What Does Your Smile Say About You?

Whether we like it or not, our smile tells others a lot about us – the good and the bad. Eighty percent of us suffer from some level of malocclusion or crowding that not only leaves us embarrassed to smile but often results in decay, bone loss, and, ultimately, tooth loss.

At Shoreline Dental Studio, we understand the importance of healthy, beautiful, and straight teeth. As one of the only Invisalign® Diamond Providers in South Orange County, Drs. Ritzau, Winters, Livingston, and Saad are qualified to help you get the beautiful, healthy smile of your dreams with adult and teen orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. All of our dentists are highly trained in advanced Invisalign techniques, are members of international Invisalign® Study Clubs, and can offer accelerated orthodontic options. In addition, Dr Ritzau serves on the Board of the American Academy of Clear Aligners.

A Clear Alternative

Using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign® straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks or, with our acceleration treatment, in as little as 5-7 days. Your teeth will move little by little, week by week, until they have achieved the final position your doctor has prescribed. Comfortable to wear, the aligners are also removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Invisalign® is a virtually invisible solution, so you won’t draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.

Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign® take?

The process usually takes a year to complete from start to finish. However, our accelerated orthodontics advanced treatment option cuts that time in half—your treatment could be as short as 3-5 months!

Your dentist will create a set of custom clear removable aligners based on your teeth now and your goal. Every two weeks (or less), you’ll switch to a new aligner, gently urging your teeth into the correct position over time.

Many dental plans will cover at least a portion of your treatment, so it’s important to check with your provider. The amount of coverage will vary depending on your insurer and plan.

Even though you take your aligners off while you eat, it’s still important to clean them at least once a day. After rinsing them with cold water, brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle, clear, antibacterial liquid soap (not toothpaste!) to remove debris, food particles, and bacteria. Rinse them again thoroughly after brushing. You can also purchase effervescent tablets and cleaning kits that make keeping your aligners clean easier and quicker, but always check with your dentist before buying them to ensure that they are safe to use and will not damage your aligners.
