Invisalign In Newport Beach
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably, improving your facial balance and even improving your airway. Dr. Shahira Saad is an experienced Invisalign provider who can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
The
benefits
of
Invisalign
Illuminate your smile and your life with discreet, comfortable, and effective Invisalign treatment.
Discreet and Virtually Invisible
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic, making them nearly undetectable when worn. You can straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your smile, allowing you to feel confident in both professional and social settings.
Comfortable and Convenient
Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fit to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your treatment. Unlike metal braces, there are no wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks and gums. Plus, the aligners are removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss with ease.
Faster Treatment Time
For most patients at our office, Invisalign treatment takes as little as 4-6 months, which is significantly shorter than traditional braces. Of course, everyone's case is different, and Dr. Saad will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and smile goals, ensuring you achieve your desired results in the most efficient manner possible.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Step 1: Your Consultation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Saad will assess your smile and discuss your goals. She will take digital impressions of your teeth using an iTero scanner, which creates a precise 3D model of your smile. This model is used to create your custom treatment plan.
Step 2: Your Custom Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom Invisalign aligners will be fabricated just for you. When your aligners arrive, you’ll return to our office for polishing between select teeth to create space if needed, and for placing Invisalign attachments—small, tooth-colored bumps that help your aligners achieve faster, more precise movements. You'll wear each set of aligners 22 hours a day for 7 days before progressing to the next set. As you advance through the series, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired positions.
Step 3: Your New Smile
Throughout your treatment, Dr. Saad will monitor your progress remotely with Invisalign Virtual Care and ensure your smile is on track. Once you've completed your Invisalign journey, you'll return to LALUME where Dr. Saad will perform a final evaluation and any necessary smile shaping to refine worn edges and restore symmetry. You'll also get to discuss any additional cosmetic needs or desires you may have. Once your smile is where you want it, we'll take a final scan for your retainers so you can maintain your stunning new smile for years to come.
