The Benefits of Straight Teeth
Achieving straight teeth is not just about aesthetics; it's about promoting optimal oral health. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. They also contribute to better chewing functionality and can alleviate issues caused by an improper bite, such as jaw pain and headaches.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are removable and made of smooth, comfortable plastic, offering a discreet solution to orthodontic correction.
How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign® aligners gently guide your teeth into their correct positions over time, based on a personalized treatment plan crafted by your Invisalign®-certified dentist. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually achieving the desired alignment.
What Invisalign® Treats
Invisalign® is versatile, treating a range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Misaligned teeth

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies based on the individual's orthodontic needs. On average, treatment can last between 12 to 18 months, though some cases may require more or less time. Your dentist will provide an estimated treatment timeline during your consultation.
Is Invisalign® treatment painful?
Invisalign® aligners are designed for comfort, but it's common to experience mild pressure or discomfort during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This sensation is typically a sign that the aligners are effectively moving your teeth.
Can I eat with Invisalign® aligners in?
No, you should remove your Invisalign® aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and ensures oral hygiene. Remember to brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign® aligners?
For optimal results, it's recommended to wear your Invisalign® aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Will Invisalign® affect my speech?
Some patients may notice a slight adjustment period where their speech is temporarily affected. However, most adapt quickly, and any minor speech changes typically disappear within a few days.
How much does Invisalign® cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of your treatment plan. Huntington Beach Dental & Braces offers transparent pricing and 0% financing options to make Invisalign® accessible and affordable.
