Invisalign Clear Aligners in El Cajon, CA
Straighten your teeth without metal braces. El Cajon Dental & Orthodontics offers Invisalign clear aligners — a discreet, comfortable way to achieve the smile you've always wanted.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable — making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of metal brackets and wires.
Your Invisalign journey begins with a free consultation at our El Cajon office. We'll use digital impressions and advanced imaging to create a personalized treatment plan that maps out the precise movements of your teeth from start to finish. You'll be able to preview your expected results before treatment begins.
Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. You'll visit our office approximately every six to eight weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. Most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally throughout treatment — maintaining great oral hygiene without the challenges that come with traditional braces. Invisalign is effective for treating crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other orthodontic concerns.
We serve Invisalign patients from El Cajon, Carlsbad, La Mesa, Santee, Spring Valley, and throughout San Diego County. Call (619) 440-6364 or book online to schedule your free Invisalign consultation.
