An FDA-approved orthodontic treatment, Invisalign uses clear, plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. In all, it\u2019s a series of 18 to 30 aligners that you wear over the period of a year, on average. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the first general dentists in Los Angeles to offer the treatment, Dr. Latner has already helped so many of your peers and neighbors achieve their smile dreams with Invisalign. <\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Invisalign Corrects<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign works to correct a number of common dental problems, including:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overbite, when the teeth reach too far over the bottom teeth<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underbite, when the bottom teeth cover the top teeth<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crossbite, when the top and bottom teeth don\u2019t meet correctly<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowded or gapped teeth<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of Invisalign Compared to Traditional Braces<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When considered beside conventional metal braces, the advantages of Invisalign are many &#8212; especially for busy adults. Some of the most common benefits we\u2019ve heard our patients enjoy include the following.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No food restrictions or difficulty brushing and flossing. That\u2019s because the Invisalign trays are removable, so as long as you\u2019re wearing them the recommended 20 to 22 hours each day, you can continue enjoying your life as usual.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedom from worry. Traditional braces can cause the wearer a considerable amount of anxiety &#8212; the fear that a bit of lunch is leftover in your braces, or that a peer is focusing more on your mouth than what you\u2019re saying. With Invisalign, we\u2019re pretty sure that all anyone will ever notice is your continually improving smile. <\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less time spent at the dentist\u2019s office. With Invisalign, you receive the entire system at once, with precise instructions on when to move up through the treatment (approximately every two weeks). That means less time spent in the dental chair, and more time spent living your life.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign is far more comfortable than metal braces, too. Patients never have to worry about a popped off wire or loose bracket rubbing a blister into their tender cheeks or gums. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in Invisalign?
