Invisalign^Ⓡ Clear Braces Oxnard, CA

For over 25 years, Invisalign^Ⓡ has been a safe, effective option for patients who want a straighter smile. Instead of dealing with brackets and wires, Invisalign^Ⓡ clear aligners are more comfortable and virtually invisible. Invisalign^Ⓡ in Oxnard is the more aesthetically pleasing choice for most patients.

What Is Invisalign^Ⓡ in Oxnard?

Instead of using brackets, bands, and an archwire to move the teeth, Invisalign^Ⓡ uses a series of clear aligners. Every six to 10 weeks, you’ll get a new set of aligners that initially feel a bit tight. The aligners are made to move your teeth into their ideal position gently.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign^Ⓡ Clear Aligners?

The benefits of Invisalign^Ⓡ include the following:

Virtually invisible
Removable for eating, drinking, and practicing dental home care
Removable for special occasions (school pictures, presentations, weddings, etc.)
More comfortable than braces (no brackets or wires)
Typically require shorter treatment time
A good option for both teens and adults

What Is the Process for Getting Invisalign^Ⓡ from Orthodontics of Oxnard?

We’ll start with an initial consultation, during which we’ll take x-rays and other digital images for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. Dr. Hamid Barkhordar will also perform a thorough examination to understand your orthodontic needs and the state of your oral health.

After this, Dr. Hamid will create your ideal treatment plan and present you with your options. If you’re a good candidate for Invisalign^Ⓡ, we can use our state-of-the-art technology to make impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create 3-D models, which the Invisalign^Ⓡ lab will use to create your custom clear aligners.

Once the aligners are fabricated, you’ll return to our office for a delivery appointment. We’ll try in the trays and make sure they’re comfortable. Then, we’ll explain how to care for them and provide any other information you need to ensure successful treatment.

Does Your Oxnard Orthodontist Think You’re a Good Candidate for Invisalign^Ⓡ?

Not every patient is a good candidate for Invisalign^Ⓡ. Some patients have complex cases that require braces instead of Invisalign^Ⓡ, as other treatments can be incorporated with braces (like headgear). Dr. Hamid will discuss your options and help you determine the best course of action.

Invisalign^Ⓡ FAQs: What Are Your Questions About Invisalign^Ⓡ in Oxnard?

Here are some of the most common questions patients ask their Oxnard orthodontist.

How Long Do I Need to Wear Invisalign^Ⓡ Aligners?

To ensure progress, you’ll need to wear the aligners 22 hours daily. Any less, and you could end up extending the treatment time.

Do I Still Need to See My Oxnard Orthodontist During Treatment?

You’ll need to see your Orthodontics of Oxnard team every six to 10 weeks. During these appointments, we’ll evaluate your progress and deliver your new Invisalign^Ⓡ trays.

How Do I Care for My Clear Aligners?

Your clear aligners can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, it’s essential to your oral health to keep them clean.

Rinse your aligners each night before you insert them before going to sleep. In the morning, remove your aligners and brush them using a soft-bristled toothbrush – not the same one you use to brush your teeth. Use a clear, liquid soap to brush them clean. Rinse the aligners thoroughly. Ensure you keep your aligners in their protective case whenever they’re not in use.

What Are the Dental Home Care Instructions for Invisalign^Ⓡ Patients?

One of the things patients love about Invisalign^Ⓡ is that you don’t have to do anything different when caring for your teeth and gums.

Remember to brush at least twice a day (after each meal is even better) and floss daily. Invest in an electric toothbrush for an even more thorough cleaning experience.

How Much Does Invisalign^Ⓡ in Oxnard Cost?

The cost of Invisalign^Ⓡ treatment in Oxnard depends on your needs, including how long you’ll need to undergo orthodontic treatment.

Please note that dental insurance will typically only pay for orthodontic treatment if the patient is 18 years of age or younger. Talk with your insurance company to find out if they have provisions for adult patients.

Our team is happy to discuss insurance benefits and help you fully utilize your insurance. We’ll also discuss payment options and outside financing.
