Our Invisalign Pasadena treatments are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth, using a series of custom-made, clear, plastic aligners.

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners will not disrupt your lifestyle, and most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Pasadena dentist, Niloufar Molayem, D.D.S, provides general and cosmetic dentistry services with a holistic, conservative approach to treatment. If you want to transform your smile without the pain and inconvenience of metal wires and bands, consult with Dr. Molayem about teeth straightening with Invisalign in Pasadena.

What Dental Problems Can Be Treated with Invisalign?

Our South Pasadena Invisalign treatment has been clinically proven to be effective for teeth straightening in a wide range of cases, with up to 50% faster treatment times than traditional braces. Dental issues doctors commonly treat with Invisalign include:

  • Crowded teeth: This is a common problem, when there is not enough room in the jaw for all the teeth to fit properly. If left untreated, overcrowding may get worse over time and lead to plaque accumulation, tooth decay, and increased risk of periodontal disease.
  • Overbite: Typically a result of genetics, overdevelopment of the bone supporting the teeth, or poor oral habits, overbite occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. It can cause painful joint and jaw problems, gum issues and irritation, and wear on the lower teeth.
  • Underbite: This occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth. It usually results from underdevelopment of the upper jaw, overdevelopment of the lower jaw, or both. It can also be caused by missing teeth. Underbite prevents the upper teeth and molars from functioning normally, which can lead to wear of the teeth and problems with the jaw and joints.
  • Gapped teeth: Abnormal continued growth of the jawbone or missing teeth can cause spacing issues and gaps between the teeth. As the gums are unprotected in the gaps, this condition can lead to gum problems and increased risk of periodontal disease.

Invisalign FAQs FAQs:

How does Invisalign straighten teeth without metal braces? Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-designed to fit your teeth. Each set of aligners is made from SmartTrack® material, which applies controlled pressure to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires involved. Instead, you switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, each slightly adjusted to guide your teeth closer to alignment. This discreet process allows you to straighten your smile without the look or feel of metal braces.

What dental issues can Invisalign correct? Invisalign is effective in treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, and underbites. Many patients also use it to fix crossbites and minor to moderate alignment issues. Whether your case is mild or more complex, Invisalign in South Pasadena offers a convenient and comfortable solution tailored to your needs. During your consultation, our dentist will determine if Invisalign is right for your smile goals.

How long do I need to wear Invisalign aligners each day? For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistency is key, as wearing the aligners as instructed ensures your teeth continue to shift as planned and helps you complete your treatment on schedule.

Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign? Invisalign aligners are removable, and you can take them out during meals, which means you don’t need to avoid certain foods as you would with metal braces. After eating, it’s essential to brush and rinse before reinserting your aligners to keep them clean and clear. You can drink water with them in, but for other beverages, it’s best to remove them to prevent staining.

How often will I need checkups during Invisalign treatment? Patients typically visit the dentist every six to eight weeks during the treatment period. These appointments allow your dentist to monitor progress and provide your next set of aligners. Since there are no wires to adjust, dental checkups are usually shorter and more comfortable compared to traditional orthodontic visits.

Dear Valued Patient:

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

  • All patients must wear a mask when entering the office.
  • Anyone accompanying you will be asked to wait in their vehicle.
  • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
  • Upon arrival at your appointment your temperature will be taken for the safety of all staff and patients.
  • Prior to receiving treatment you will be asked to rinse with an antimicrobial for a minimum of 30 seconds
  • We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
  • You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • UV Air purifiers have been placed throughout the office.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time, so we ask that you do your best to be on time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (626)798-7834 or visit our website at pasadenasmilecenter@yahoo.com.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely, Niloufar Molayem, D.D.S. & Team
