Invisalign in Woodland Hills

Invisalign is a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. It works by using a series of removable trays that are custom made to fit your teeth and guide them into position over time.

Each aligner is worn for a set period before progressing to the next one, allowing for gradual and controlled movement.

What is Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment that straightens teeth using removable, custom made trays instead of traditional braces.

How does Invisalign work

Invisalign works by applying gentle pressure through a series of aligners that are changed over time to gradually move teeth into alignment.
