Clear Aligners in Encino

If you're looking to straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces, our Encino dental office offers a discreet and comfortable alternative. Clear aligners provide an effective, nearly invisible way to correct mild to moderate alignment issues without brackets, wires, or lifestyle disruption.

Whether you're closing small gaps or addressing crowding, our team will personalize your aligner treatment to fit your goals, your routine, and your confidence.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gently shift your teeth into better alignment over time. Unlike traditional metal braces, these trays are smooth, removable, and virtually unnoticeable. No dietary restrictions. No irritation from wires or brackets.

At our Encino office, we use advanced digital scanning to design a series of aligners tailored specifically to your bite, allowing for precision and comfort throughout your treatment.

Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are ideal for teens and adults who want a low-profile, flexible orthodontic solution. You may be a good candidate if you have:

  • Mild crowding or overlapping teeth
  • Small to moderate gaps between teeth
  • Bite issues, including minor overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Teeth shifting after previous braces (orthodontic relapse)
  • A desire for a nearly invisible treatment experience

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners offer a blend of convenience, confidence, and oral health benefits. Here’s what makes them a patient favorite:
Discreet Appearance
Clear trays blend in with your teeth, so most people won’t notice you're wearing them.
Removable Design
Take them out for eating, brushing, or special events, then easily place them back in.
Better Oral Hygiene
Since they’re removable, brushing and flossing stay simple throughout your treatment.
Smooth, Comfortable Fit
The aligners are custom-molded, with no metal parts to irritate your cheeks or gums.

Clear Aligner Treatment Process in Encino

Our step-by-step process ensures you stay informed and comfortable from your first consultation to your final smile reveal:

Step 1: Digital Imaging and Consultation
We begin with a complete oral exam and use 3D digital scans to map your teeth. This allows us to simulate your treatment results in advance.

Step 2: Custom Aligner Creation
Your scan is used to design a full sequence of aligners, with each set moving your teeth slightly closer to their final position.

Step 3: Wear and Replace Aligners
You’ll wear each aligner for about 1–2 weeks, at least 22 hours per day. Remove only to eat, drink, brush, or floss.

Step 4: Routine Check-ins
Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll return to our Encino office so we can track progress, answer questions, and keep you on schedule.

Step 5: Retainer Phase
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting.

Treatment time varies by case. Most patients finish between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of the alignment needed.

Clear aligners are designed for comfort. Some patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new set, but it typically subsides within a day or two.
How many hours per day should I wear them?
For best results, wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day. Only remove them to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss.
