Invisalign, Walnut Creek

How do clear aligners work?

Invisalign® straightens your teeth without the use of actual fixed braces. To learn more about Invisalign, please feel free to contact us at ☎ Masuda Orthodontics office Phone Number 925-934-3583 to schedule an appointment.

• Invisalign® use a series of clear removable appliances to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• The appliances are made through a combination of Dr. Masuda’s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
• You wear each set of appliances for almost 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• As you replace each appliance with the next in the prescribed series, your teeth will incrementally move, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Masuda has prescribed.
• You’ll visit Dr. Masuda about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
• Total treatment time may average 9 – 15 months and the average number of appliances worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
