Invisalign: Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask about Invisalign treatment:

1. What’s the best age to start Invisalign treatment?

We recommend that children visit an orthodontist as early as age 7 for an initial evaluation.
Invisalign offers solutions like Invisalign First, designed for children with mixed dentition (a combination of baby and adult teeth), to help guide proper growth and development. Invisalign also offers an expander system to create space for incoming permanent teeth. Ultimately, patients of all ages can be good candidates for Invisalign, as long as they are committed to
wearing the aligners as directed.

2. How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your case and your treatment goals. At our Bellflower office, Invisalign treatment typically ranges from $3,500 to $5,900. We offer
competitive pricing and personalized care from an experienced orthodontic specialist.

3. How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case. Minor corrections may take just a few months, while more complex cases can take up to 18 months or longer. We’ll give you a clear estimate after your
initial consultation.

4. What can I eat with Invisalign?

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that you can remove the aligners when eating.
Just remember to avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing them, especially sugary drinks. Brushing after meals and maintaining a healthy diet will also support
your results.

5. What should I ask my orthodontist about Invisalign?

Start by asking if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign and how experienced your orthodontist is with this treatment. Like any skill, Invisalign success depends on training and experience.
At Dreamland Dental in Bellflower, Dr. Pejman Nasibi brings over 20 years of experience in orthodontics, including both traditional braces and Invisalign. He’ll help you decide on the best
treatment for your individual needs.

6. What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign is nearly invisible, making it a popular choice for teens and adults who prefer a discreet treatment option. At Dreamland Dental, we also offer clear ceramic braces for those
who prefer a fixed solution. We’ll help you choose the option that fits your lifestyle and goals.

7. How often are the appointments?

Invisalign check-ups are typically scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks. We’re also available for urgent visits if you have an issue, such as a broken attachment or lost aligner.

8. Is Invisalign comfortable?

Yes, Invisalign aligners are smooth and generally comfortable. Some mild soreness is normal when you switch to a new set of aligners, but it usually fades after a few days.

9. How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?

For the best results, wear your Invisalign aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush.

10. Can I whiten my teeth during Invisalign treatment?

We recommend waiting until after treatment to whiten your teeth, as this ensures a more even and noticeable result once all tooth movements are complete.

11. Will Invisalign affect my speech?

You may notice a slight lisp during the first few days, but most patients adjust quickly and speak normally soon after.

12. Is Invisalign better than braces?

Both Invisalign and traditional braces are effective options for straightening teeth. The best choice depends on your specific case, lifestyle, and preferences. At Dreamland Dental, Dr.
Nasibi will design a customized treatment plan that delivers the best outcome for your smile.
