Request a ConsultationIf you want straighter teeth without the look and feel of traditional metal braces, Invisalign® may be the right solution for you. At Beverly Wilshire Dental Group in Beverly Hills and Northridge, CA, Dr. Mehryar Ebrahimi provides personalized Invisalign treatment for adults and teens. Using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into their ideal positions — without wires, brackets, or the dietary restrictions that come with traditional braces.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of removable, custom-fabricated trays to straighten teeth over time. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Over the course of treatment, your teeth gradually shift into alignment.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are:
- Virtually invisible when worn
- Removable for eating, drinking, and brushing
- Smooth and comfortable — no metal brackets or wires
- Custom-fabricated from precise digital scans of your teeth
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns in both adults and teens. Dr. Ebrahimi will evaluate your bite, spacing, and overall oral health during your consultation to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for you.
Invisalign can address many common alignment issues, including:
More complex orthodontic cases may require traditional braces or a combination approach. Dr. Ebrahimi will give you an honest assessment of whether Invisalign can achieve your goals.
Invisalign for Adults and Teens
Invisalign for Adults
Many adults choose Invisalign because it fits seamlessly into professional and social life. The aligners are discreet enough to wear during meetings, events, and photographs, and can be removed for important occasions. Adults who had braces as teenagers and have experienced relapse are also strong candidates.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for younger patients whose teeth are still developing. The aligners include compliance indicators — small dots that fade with wear — so parents and Dr. Ebrahimi can confirm the aligners are being worn as prescribed. Replacement aligners are available in case of loss.
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
Consultation and Digital Scan
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at our Beverly Hills or Northridge office. Dr. Ebrahimi will examine your teeth and take precise digital impressions — no messy impression putty. These scans are used to create a 3D treatment plan that shows the projected movement of your teeth from start to finish.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners are custom-fabricated based on your digital scan. Each set is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them gradually toward their final positions.
Wearing Your Aligners
For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Each set is typically worn for one to two weeks before progressing to the next set.
Attachments and Refinements
Some patients require small tooth-colored attachments bonded to certain teeth to help the aligners achieve more precise movements. Toward the end of treatment, refinement aligners may be used to fine-tune your final result.
Retainers
After completing your Invisalign treatment, retainers are essential to maintain your results. Dr. Ebrahimi will provide retainer instructions and help you keep your smile in its new position long-term.

For most mild-to-moderate alignment concerns, Invisalign produces results comparable to traditional braces. Dr. Ebrahimi will help you weigh the options based on your specific clinical needs and lifestyle.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may be completed in as few as six months. More involved cases typically take 12 to 18 months. During your consultation, Dr. Ebrahimi will give you a realistic timeline based on your 3D treatment plan.
Compliance is the single biggest factor in treatment speed. Patients who wear their aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day consistently complete treatment on schedule or ahead of it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
How much does Invisalign cost in Beverly Hills?
Cost varies by case complexity. Contact our office for a personalized estimate after your consultation. Many insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits apply toward Invisalign.
How long does Invisalign take?
Treatment typically ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on the degree of correction needed. Dr. Ebrahimi will give you a projected timeline during your consultation.
How many aligners will I need?
The number of aligners depends on how much tooth movement is required. Some patients need as few as 10 sets; more complex cases may require 30 or more.
Can adults get Invisalign?
Absolutely. Invisalign is popular among adults precisely because it is discreet and removable. There is no upper age limit for treatment.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
For mild-to-moderate alignment issues, Invisalign produces results comparable to traditional braces while offering significant lifestyle advantages. For very complex cases, traditional braces may still be the more effective option. Dr. Ebrahimi will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific needs.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and typically fades within a day or two. Invisalign does not cause the irritation from wires and brackets that some patients experience with traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This means there are no food restrictions — you can eat whatever you like as long as you remove your aligners first and brush before putting them back in.
What happens after Invisalign is complete?
After completing treatment, you will wear retainers to maintain your results. Without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back toward their original positions over time.
