Invisalign in Riverside, CA

Want a straighter smile without the hassle of metal braces? At Van Cao Dentistry in Riverside, CA, we offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy—an advanced orthodontic system that uses virtually invisible trays to gradually align your teeth.

Invisalign is ideal for adults and teens looking for a discreet, removable solution to crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and more. Whether you're in Riverside, Moreno Valley, Jurupa Valley, Colton, or Grand Terrace, our personalized Invisalign plans make it easier than ever to get the smile you’ve always wanted—without disrupting your lifestyle.

Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic options on the market, and for good reason. Patients choose Invisalign because it is:

• Nearly invisible: No metal brackets or wires
  
  
• Removable: Eat, brush, and floss without restrictions
  
  
• Comfortable: Smooth plastic trays with no sharp edges
  
  
• Convenient: Fewer appointments and quicker adjustments
  
  
• Custom-fit: Digital scanning ensures precision and comfort

Invisalign can correct many common orthodontic issues, including:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
  
  
• Crowded teeth
  
  
• Gaps or spacing issues
  
  
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites

At Van Cao Dentistry, we create your custom Invisalign plan using 3D imaging and advanced software to map your ideal smile and track your progress.

The Invisalign system involves wearing a series of clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation: We evaluate your smile and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
   
   
2. Digital Impressions: No messy molds—just comfortable, accurate scanning.
   
   
3. Custom Treatment Plan: We map your tooth movements and provide a digital preview of your results.
   
   
4. Wearing Your Aligners: You’ll wear them 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth.
   
   
5. Progress Monitoring: We’ll schedule check-ins every 6–8 weeks to keep your treatment on track.

Most Invisalign treatments take between 6 to 18 months, depending on your case complexity.

Both Invisalign and traditional braces can effectively straighten your teeth, but each option offers unique advantages depending on your lifestyle and dental needs. Here’s how they compare:

• Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a discreet option. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires, which are more visible.
  
  
• Comfort: Invisalign trays are smooth and custom-fit, reducing the chances of irritation. Braces can cause discomfort from brackets and wire adjustments.
  
  
• Removability: Invisalign is removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease. Braces are fixed and remain in place until your treatment is complete.
  
  
• Diet Restrictions: With Invisalign, there are no food restrictions since you take the aligners out to eat. Braces require you to avoid sticky, hard, or crunchy foods.
  
  
• Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer appointments and quicker check-ins. Braces need more frequent visits for tightening and adjustments.

If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, we’re happy to discuss your goals and help you decide during your personalized consultation.
