Pasadena Invisalign Doctors and Reviews

“Another Newbie to Invisalign”

Today my first trays were "installed". I knew about the attachments and although i agree they are unattractive, it is logical that they are there. so far no major problems, but its only been 12 hours. i plan to post some in process photos. i have severe bottom crowding , some top crowding and a very narrow bite. i found the ortho online and he is an elite provider and says he does... more

“Kinda Feel Like a Wimp! - Los...”

Pros: - They're not metal. - It should fix the problem I'm having with splayed front teeth and a small space between my two front teeth. Cons: - I'm having a lot of discomfort, pain and tenderness. I'm surprised to hear more people haven't experienced the same thing. I have a pretty high pain threshold normally and I'm confused. I took ibu, worked out as... more

“Invisilign - Great So Far! - Los...”

I am a 41 year-old male that has always had crooked teeth. I was in a rugby accident in college and got veneers on the upper four front teeth, so those were cosmetically straightened by that procedure. My bottom teeth are still crowded toward the front with one tooth overlapping another by about a half a tooth. Dr. K told me a number of options to remedy this, but I was reluctant to the... more

“Would Do It Again In A Heartbeat! -...”

Very happy overall! I've had some bite and TMJ/jaw problems for a long time, and my dentist thought that straightening my teeth would help (I've been with this dentist for 3 years now). After waiting a year to decide, and not being pressured at all by my dentist, I went ahead and had the impressions done and got my first set of aligners. My dentist and his office were fantastic! My... more

“Get Real Braces - Los Angeles”

I got Invisalign to (1) close a small gap between a front tooth and an incisor and (2) tweak some minor crowding in my lower teeth. My company subsidizes the cost so I figured why not? My single gap was fixed by the 7th tray. I'm on my 17th set of trays and my lower teeth look WORSE than when I started! I'm now out tons of my own money and looking at the prospect of getting real... more

“Not Invisible and They Hurt - Hope...”

First let me say they are no invisible, and god they hurt to take out the first couple of days, i feel like im going to be on a model diet here, because i dont want to take them out beacasue they hurt and take me forever to take out! They also put these little clear cement things on my teeth that stick out, to hold the invisalign in place. They didnt tell me about that until i paid and went in... more

“Invisalign is Great for Mild Cases -...”

I had Invisalign on for only one year and it did make a dramatic change on my teeth. I'm now a lot more confident to smile. My upper teeth was pretty much ok except for the one right front teeth kicking out too much. It was almost 70% overlap with one next to it. My lower teeth was a mess. It was crooked so bad but because it was hidden lower so ppl didn't see it more obvious than the... more

“Almost Half Way Through Invisalign”

I'm on my 6th tray out of 15 and can see a noticeable difference. I have 10 buttons and I haven't had any real pain or discomfort.Seen alot of people on here complaining... but..I'm a VERY happy patient and can't wait to see the results. My dentist even threw in a Zoom whitening when I'm all done. more

“Invisaligns - 2nd Week, my Teeth Are...”

This is my 2nd week, the first week my tongue was very sore from the rubbing on the bottom tray, all cleared up and no pain and my teeth are looking better, the good thing is I'm losing weight as I don't snack, once in a while a can of slim fest to get thru the work day. and a through rinsing, 1 meal for breakfast and dinner. my dentist very through explain the whole procedure, can't wait to... more

“Not As Painful As I Feared! But...”

I'm on day 5 of my first set of Invisalign trays. I'll be wearing 23 trays on the top and 27 on the bottom to correct moderate crowding. I wore traditional braces as a kid, the whole process took over 4 years including facebow, rubber bands, spacers, every possible torture device you could imagine. So when I finally got those metal contraptions off, I was handed this enormous retainer... more

“Invisalign to Correct Crowding and...”

I just started - first week - and did it to correct crowding/turning teeth in front. Very little discomfort so far but too early to tell.Other than water, is there anything you can eat/drink while wearing the aligners - such as sugar free clear soda or a glass of white wine?Last fall (2010), I started wearing a retainer at night and am now using it every other night. The goal is to use it... more

“Completely Recommend - my Son Got...”

I paid for my son to get Invisalign instead of traditional braces. We went to a recommended orthodontist who does traditional braces first and got his opinion. Then, we went to our dentist who was starting to do Invisalign to get her opinion. I recommend you do this -- get opinions. Probably 2 orthodontists and 2 Invisalign before you do it -- we just lucked out without more o more

“Love It!”

I had braces as a child and took them off to soon. My teeth moved back. While taking my children to the ortho I decided I wanted to correct my own teeth. I didn't want to wear braces. Invisalign has been great. I have a total of 20 trays to wear, I am on tray 11 right now. I can't believe how much my teeth have moved. They are very easy to use. The only downside is when your out and... more

“Don't Go to a Dentist for...”

I am 90% through my treatment and couldn't be happier. I did a lot of research prior to picking my Invisalign othodontist doctor and here is what I learned. First, it is very important to go to an orthodontist and NOT a dentist. Dentist's take a one-day course and are certified to use the product while orthodontists go through an extra 3 years of training in moving teeth after dental... more

“SO FAR, SO GOOD”

I am only on day three of Invisalign, but so far everything is going fine. I was pretty miserable for the first two days from the pressure and tightness of the trays, but I was told that's when the teeth move the most. I took Ibuprofen which took some of the edge off. When I woke up today most of the discomfort was gone. Now I'm just trying to get used to the mouth full of plastic. I have... more

“First Day, No Real Pain Just...”

After months of waiting and having to make my impressions three times, I got my trays today. I was afraid that I would need to pull some teeth in order for the treatment to work, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have four "buttons" on my lower teeth that make the lower tray very difficult to remove. I haven't really experienced what I would call pain, just pressure. The biggest... more

“1 Month In, Great So Far! But Be...”

I was apparently a perfect candidate for this treatment, and the cost was the same as it would be with traditional braces. I have a big gap in my upper front teeth, the rest on top are pretty straight, just a slight overbite. My bottom front teeth are slightly overcrowded and slightly overlapping. I mention my condition because I think it's important to know that your condition is right... more
