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

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.
