Invisalign in Encino
At Clove Dental in Encino, we specialize in providing innovative orthodontic solutions like Invisalign to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. This advanced treatment offers a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to straighten teeth without the need for traditional braces. If you’re seeking a modern approach to orthodontics tailored to your lifestyle, Invisalign is the ideal choice.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed, making them an excellent option for those who prefer a subtle and flexible solution for achieving a beautiful smile.
Signs You Might Need Invisalign
Invisalign is designed to address a variety of dental alignment issues. You may be a candidate for Invisalign if you experience:
- Crowded Teeth: Teeth that overlap or are too close together, making cleaning difficult.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces that can impact the appearance and functionality of your teeth.
- Overbite: When your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth excessively.
- Underbite: When your lower teeth extend past your upper teeth.
- Crossbite: Misaligned upper and lower teeth that lead to improper biting.
- Open Bite: A gap between your upper and lower teeth when your mouth is closed.
Our skilled team in Encino will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your orthodontic needs.

The Invisalign Process
Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect during your Invisalign journey at Clove Dental in Encino:
- Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with an in-depth consultation to evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals. This helps us determine if Invisalign is the right fit for your needs.
- Digital Imaging and Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll create a detailed map of your teeth and develop a customized treatment plan. This technology allows us to show you a preview of your expected results.
- Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Each set of aligners will gradually guide your teeth into their ideal position.
- Wearing Your Aligners
Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, brushing, and flossing. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks.
- Regular Check-Ups
We’ll schedule periodic appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is moving as planned. These check-ups are quick and efficient.
- Retention Phase
After completing your treatment, we’ll provide you with retainers to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic.
Many dental insurance plans, including Aetna PPO, provide partial coverage for Invisalign. Our team will help you navigate your insurance benefits and explore flexible payment options.
