Los Angeles dentist offers clear braces for an enhanced smile

Invisible Dental Braces in Los Angeles CA Area

Your smile impacts your self confidence and can influence your personal and professional lives. You may have considered straightening your teeth and enhancing your smile but have been turned off by the thought of traditional braces. Located in Los Angeles, Dr. Don Mungcal offers clear braces in the form of Invisalign to straighten teeth without noticeable metal brackets.

Key points about Invisalign

Aligner trays are a popular orthodontic choice for adults because they are convenient, removable, and subtle. Invisalign is an effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic needs.

  • Custom trays – Invisalign trays are created individually for each patient.
  • Comfortable – Aligner trays have no wires to adjust or tighten. Instead, gentle pressure on the teeth shifts them into proper alignment.
  • Removable – Trays can be taken out to eat, brush, and floss.
  • Nearly invisible – Invisalign trays are made of clear plastic and are not immediately noticeable to the general public.

Following your consultation, impressions of your teeth are sent out for the creation of your custom Invisalign trays. Each tray is worn for a specified amount of time every day, preferably only being removed while eating or caring for your teeth. After a couple weeks, that tray set is discarded and a new set is worn. Changing trays allows for a different placement of pressure so the teeth continue their gradual shift. Your dentist assesses your teeth periodically.

Patient-controlled success

One of the most important things to remember with aligner trays is that you control the success. Since the trays are removable, you decide how often you wear them. Not abiding by your dentist’s instructions can hinder your results meaning you may need additional treatment in the future. By wearing the aligner trays for the recommended amount of time, you increase your likelihood of optimal results.

If you have questions or would like to discuss your orthodontic needs, contact Downtown Dental today. Our warm, helpful staff would be happy to schedule your appointment. 213-863-9464.
