How treatment works
We map your smile with a digital scan and create a custom set of aligners. You switch to a new set about every one to two weeks, and most cases take roughly 12–18 months. We check your progress periodically to keep everything on track.
Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign handles many alignment and bite issues, though traditional braces are still better for certain complex cases — we’ll tell you honestly which fits. Afterward, a retainer keeps your new smile straight. Many PPO plans include orthodontic benefits, and financing makes treatment affordable. See our orthodontic options to compare.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does Invisalign cost in Downey?
Invisalign cost depends on how complex your case is and how long treatment takes. We give you an exact quote at your consultation, offer financing to make it affordable, and accept most PPO and HMO plans — many of which include orthodontic benefits. Ask about our current Invisalign special.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most cases take roughly 12 to 18 months, though minor corrections can finish faster and complex cases take longer. You switch to a new set of aligners about every one to two weeks, and we monitor your progress at periodic checkups.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable, so you can eat what you like and keep brushing and flossing normally — a big advantage for adults and teens. Traditional braces may still be the better choice for certain complex bite issues. We will tell you honestly which option fits your case.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two each time you start a new set of aligners — a sign they are working. It is generally more comfortable than metal braces, with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks.
Do I have to wear a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes. After your teeth reach their final position, wearing a retainer keeps them from drifting back. We will provide your retainer and explain how often to wear it so your new smile stays straight for the long term.
