Invisalign Instead of Braces for Straight Teeth

Invisalign® is the revolutionary way to straighten teeth, and if you have been reluctant to see a dentist or orthodontist because you don’t want to wear conventional wires, and brackets, talk to Dental Care of Corona who can determine if you are a good fit for Invisalign®.

Old School Braces

Conventional braces can take up to two years to straighten your teeth, but that isn’t the only problem with old school braces. Because you cannot remove the wires and brackets, it is impossible to brush and floss properly. With conventional braces tooth decay and gum disease are both issues. Conventional wires and brackets can also cause pain when adjusted.

Invisalign® Clear Plastic Aligners

Invisalign® consists of a series of clear plastic aligners that you wear between 20 and 22 hours every day. Because you remove your aligners when you eat, brush and floss you are less likely to deal with gum disease or tooth decay.

The Invisalign® Process

Dental Care of Corona will custom make the Invisalign®  trays and give you between 11 and 31 sets of clear plastic trays that you will swap out every week or two depending on your Invisalign® customized tooth straightening plan.

Unlike conventional wires and brackets, you will only need to see your Corona Dentist every 6 weeks to make sure that your Invisalign® treatment is going according to plan. Old school wires and brackets require more frequent dental appointments. Although the average for Invisalign®  wearers is between 9 and 18 months, some patients will have a brand new smile in as little as six months.


If you want to boost your self-confidence and repair your rotated, tipped, or crooked teeth, schedule an appointment with Dental Care of Corona who can determine if Invisalign® is right for you. You really can have the smile that you deserve. Call for a no obligation Invisalign® consultation today.
