Invisalign® clear aligners in Tustin, California, offer a modern solution for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of metal braces. This advanced orthodontic treatment uses a series of custom-crafted plastic aligners that are nearly invisible when worn. Each aligner is designed to make slight adjustments to your teeth, gradually guiding them into the proper position. As you progress through the series — typically changing aligners every one to two weeks — you will begin to notice your smile becoming straighter, more balanced and more aligned with your facial structure.
Discreet, Comfortable & Convenient
Invisalign aligners in Tustin, CA, are made of smooth, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, there are no wires or brackets to cause irritation. This makes Invisalign especially popular with adults and teens who want to maintain a natural appearance during treatment. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out when eating, brushing or flossing, making it easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your orthodontic journey.
Our dentist will begin with a thorough examination and digital scan of your mouth to create a personalized treatment plan. This digital modeling allows us to project your tooth movement and give you a preview of your expected results. You will also visit our office periodically so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Aligners
How does Invisalign treatment begin?
Your Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation and digital scan to evaluate your needs and plan tooth movement. Custom aligners are then created to match your smile goals. Once your first set arrives, you will receive instructions on wear time, care and how to transition between aligners as treatment progresses.
What are the advantages of removable aligners?
Removable aligners allow you to eat freely and maintain better oral hygiene. You can brush and floss without navigating around wires or brackets. They also offer flexibility for special occasions. However, consistent wear is essential to ensure your teeth move as planned and that you achieve the desired outcome.
Can Invisalign treatment correct bite problems?
Yes, Invisalign can help improve various bite issues, including overbites, underbites and crossbites, depending on your case. Using a series of precisely shaped aligners, your bite can gradually shift into a healthier position. A dentist will assess whether Invisalign is suitable for your specific bite alignment and overall needs.
What happens after Invisalign treatment ends?
After completing Invisalign treatment, you will likely wear retainers to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back. Retainers are custom-made and may be worn full time at first, then transitioned to nighttime use. Our dentist will guide you on a retention schedule tailored to your treatment.
