Invisalign®

When your dentist advises you to wear braces, many doubts may go through your mind. You
may think about several things when considering your treatment, from the cost and duration of
the procedure to the changes it would bring in your physical appearance. However, you can
always opt for simpler teeth-straightening techniques, such as Invisalign®, that make your teeth
look more beautiful than ever.

We invite you to call Burbank Glendale Dental Group at  (818) 848-3026 to learn more about Invisalign® in Burbank, California, and schedule your
consultation with Dr. Armen Ambarchyan.

We rarely find someone with naturally beautiful straight teeth that are lined up perfectly. The
growth of our teeth is mostly uneven. Other factors such as genetics and childhood thumb-
sucking also result in the uneven growth of our teeth. Those factors result in awkward bites
known as malocclusions.

WHAT ARE MALOCCLUSIONS?
A malocclusion can be defined as an improper or imperfect fit between the upper jaw (maxilla)
and lower jaw (mandible). From minor to severe, they can be seen in different intensities, and
each type of malocclusion requires a different kind of treatment. If you are experiencing a visible
overbite or under-bite, our dentists will recommend you to an orthodontist who will evaluate
your bite correction plan.

WHAT IS INVISALIGN®? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Invisalign® is the right treatment option for those who have crowded teeth, crooked teeth, or
gaps between their teeth. Invisalign® can treat all such dental imperfections without affecting
your physical appearance. The treatment is done with a series of custom-made clear trays. They
shift the position of your teeth without causing any obstruction to your smile. These trays are
removable and almost unnoticeable when used for the treatment. 3D digital images of your
mouth are taken before making these trays to ensure that every angle is clearly visible to the
Invisalign® technicians and your Burbank dentist. As your teeth keep shifting, you will have to
consult your Boston dentist to use new set of trays. This way, you along with our Burbank
dentist can monitor the treatment procedure.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH DURING THE INVISALIGN® TREATMENT?
While undergoing the Invisalign® treatment, proper oral care is recommended as the trays might
trap bacteria and affect your teeth eventually. Unlike braces, these trays are easily removable and
hence you can floss and brush your teeth without having to struggle with wires that are used in
traditional orthodontics. You can schedule an appointment with our Burbank dentist to know
more about the treatment procedure and its benefits.

ALTERNATIVE ORTHODONTICS LIKE INVISALIGN®
Invisalign® is definitely a great option to correct your dental imperfections and get that perfect
set of straight teeth. However, modern technology has provided us with other effective
alternatives for metal braces to treat your dental problems. You do not have to opt for the lengthy
treatment procedure that braces require if you have a minor malocclusion.
