Invisalign® in Beverly Hills and Northridge

If 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

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.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

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.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case and the number of aligners required. At Beverly Wilshire Dental Group, we provide transparent cost estimates after your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Many dental insurance plans that cover orthodontic treatment will apply benefits toward Invisalign. We also offer flexible financing options to help make treatment accessible. Contact our Beverly Hills or Northridge office to discuss your coverage and payment options.
