A custom series of virtually invisible trays that gradually move your teeth into alignment.
Creates proper spacing for teeth that overlap, crowd, or sit too close together.
Moves teeth together to close unwanted spaces between them.

YOUR VISIT
Here's how Invisalign treatment works at Chino Valley Smile Center.
Dr. Afifi examines your teeth and bite and discusses whether Invisalign is the right solution for your goals.
Digital impressions of your teeth are taken to design your custom aligner series and map out your tooth movement step by step.
You wear each set of aligners for the prescribed amount of time, then move to the next set as your teeth gradually shift.
Dr. Afifi monitors your progress at regular intervals. Once treatment is complete, you'll receive retainers to maintain your results.
WHY IT MATTERS
Straightening your teeth is one thing. Doing it without disrupting your daily life is another. Invisalign offers both.
The clear aligners are nearly undetectable, so you can smile confidently throughout your entire treatment.
Take your aligners out for meals and oral hygiene. No food restrictions, no special tools required.
Smooth plastic aligners with no brackets or wires means fewer irritations and adjustments.
Digital treatment planning lets Dr. Afifi show you your projected tooth movement before you even begin.
IS THIS YOU?
Invisalign works well for a wide range of patients, from teens getting their first orthodontic treatment to adults who never corrected their smile and are ready to now.
If any of this sounds like you, it's worth scheduling a consultation to find out if Invisalign is the right fit.

Most adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite issues are good candidates. Dr. Afifi will evaluate your specific teeth and bite during a consultation to confirm whether Invisalign is right for you.
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case, but many patients complete Invisalign in several months to about a year and a half. Dr. Afifi will give you a more specific estimate after your evaluation.
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 brushing and flossing.
Some dental insurance plans cover a portion of orthodontic treatment, which may include Invisalign. Our team can help you verify your specific coverage before treatment begins.
Once your teeth have shifted into their final position, Dr. Afifi will provide custom retainers to keep them there. Wearing your retainer as directed is the most important step in protecting your results long term.
Schedule an Invisalign consultation with Dr. Afifi and find out if clear aligners are right for you.
