Invisalign Advantages

There are several advantages to Invisalign in South Pasadena...

Invisalign is a brand of clear braces made to create an alternative option to metal braces for teenagers and adults who want to receive their benefits. Other than providing you with better oral health care by straightening and aligning your teeth, clear braces in South Pasadena have several advantages. The first is that they are clear. Invisalign or clear braces at South Pasadena Dental Group are virtually undetectable when it comes to your peers. Another benefit to clear braces is that they are removable. This is a huge cosmetic benefit over metal braces that are placed and not taken of for many months. Also, being able to remove them allows for better oral hygiene because you can brush and floss your teeth like normal, but with braces you cannot. Finally, the last benefit is the cost. Invisalign is affordable and a low cost alternative to metal braces. In fact, the costs of the two are close to the same. If you would like to schedule a consultation for Invisalign in South Pasadena, give us a call at (626) 441-6234 to schedule your appointment.

Hundreds of happy smiles have emerged from South Pasadena Dental Group...

Getting Your Tooth Impressions

Once you’ve decided to move forward with Invisalign treatment in South Pasadena, we’ll schedule your next appointment, where we’ll take X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth. Our orthodontist will utilize these images to make a digital 3-D image of your teeth. Using the digital image, our dentists will custom-form your set of clear aligners.

Wearing Your Custom Aligners

When you arrive for your treatment visit, our staff will show you how to put in your first Invisalign trays, how to clean and care for your aligners, and how often you need to wear the aligners. Most often, you’ll be prescribed to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, every day. You wear your aligners all day and night, but take them out when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. About every two weeks, you’ll start wearing a new set of aligners as your teeth gradually move into the desired position.

Completed Treatment Celebration

After you diligently wear your aligners for the prescribed amount of time, your treatment will be complete, and it’s time to celebrate! But the services of South Pasadena Dental Group don’t stop there. As with many orthodontic treatments, you’ll be fitted with a custom-made retainer based on your last set of aligners that you’ll be asked to continue wearing to keep your teeth in place. We use retainers which are made of a strong, long-lasting material that resists cracking or breaking.

More About Clear Braces

Clear braces in South Pasadena are a new and improved technology for alignment...

Simply put, clear braces are a way to align your teeth without anyone else knowing. If you have alignment problems or crooked teeth, Invisalign in South Pasadena might be the option for you. Clear braces are custom molded clear trays made to fit to your teeth and align them at the same time. With clear braces you are required to visit the dentist every few months to receive a new set of Invisalign trays for aligning your teeth. Each tray moves them little by little until the total treatment is complete. However, one of the down sides to clear braces is that you are accountable for wearing them and making sure your teeth are being aligned. If you don’t wear your Invisalign for the recommended 23 hours a day, the alignment treatment will take even longer. If you think clear braces aren’t for you, we also offer traditional metal braces in South Pasadena as well. Metal braces are still a highly effective treatment for patients of all ages. If you want to learn more about clear braces in South Pasadena versus your option for metal braces, contact our orthodontist. We are more than happy to answer any of your questions about your options for dental treatments. We are available 24/7 by phone at (626) 441-6234.

Pro Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter teeth whitening kits are not as effective as professional teeth whitening done by a licensed dentist. Not only will a skilled dentist be able to utilize the right instruments to safeguard your enamel from long-term harm, but they will also be able to deliver the results you want quickly.

Invisalign FAQ South Pasadena, California

Frequently Asked Questions

Your mouth determines how long your Invisalign treatment will last, however patients should wear their braces for 20 to 22 hours per day.

Both Invisalign and braces can straighten your teeth, but they work in quite different ways. Only Invisalign cannot be removed; braces cannot. While braces can be used by a larger range of people, Invisalign may not be the best option for everyone.

While wearing clear aligners does not harm, the patient may experience some pain at first.

They can be offered by either a dentist or an orthodontist because Invisalign doesn't treat serious orthodontic problems.

The main distinction between Invisalign and clear braces is that Invisalign patients can take their aligners out whenever necessary.

Aligners are more effective than braces for a few reasons. The first is that they can be worn for up to twenty-two hours every day, which puts consistent pressure on your teeth. Second, because the aligners move your teeth constantly, they are always adjusting to the right position. Last but not least, there is less possibility of anything getting trapped in your teeth or gums because there are no brackets or wires. These elements work together to make aligners more quickly produced than braces.

Super friendly...
Kerry C.

Great office, clean and organized. Staff is super friendly from check in to departure. Dr. Michael has excellent "chair-side-manner." I needed a root canal and it was almost painless. I couldn't believe it! They worked with me as my dental insurance covers almost nothing. I'll definitely be back!

Truly grateful to South Pasadena Dental. I have finally found an office for my whole family. Got a great cleaning with Kristine. Dr. Jimmy was funny and put me at ease. The staff was friendly. There's fruit, freshed baked cookies, and coffee in the waiting room. They all go out of their way to make an anxious patient relax.

Very professional...
Van T.

The staff and dentists are very friendly and helpful. I needed emergency bridgework done, no insurance but they got me approved with a line of credit to cover the entire cost with 6 months interest free and they got me in the same day. Very professional, nice clean office, and they have their own parking. Thank you South Pasadena Dental, I highly recommend them.

I am impressed...
Stephanie W.

He's never guilted me into a teeth whitening or criticized my flossing techniques. I barely felt the injection of local anesthesia. And he placed my filling in less than 30 minutes. I am impressed with his work ethic and care for his clients, and enjoying what he does. Because I believe when someone likes their job, the quality of work is much much higher! Thank you Dr. Arkady. I highly highly recommend him.
