In the bustling city of Los Angeles, the desire for a perfect smile is more prevalent than ever. That's where clear aligners come into play. Clear aligners are a modern solution to traditional braces that straighten your teeth without the use of metal brackets and wires. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, gradually shifting them into their correct positions over time. They are virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable, which makes them a popular choice for both adults and teens seeking a discreet way to improve their smiles.

By straightening your teeth, clear aligners can help prevent these issues. Moreover, clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and effective treatment. They are also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. This flexibility makes clear aligners a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

The Benefits Of Clear Aligners
Improved Oral Health
Clear aligners contribute to better oral health by correcting misaligned teeth. Misalignment can lead to a host of problems, including difficulty in cleaning, gum disease, and tooth wear. By straightening your teeth, clear aligners can help prevent these issues, leading to healthier teeth and gums.
Comfort and Convenience
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are free of metal brackets and wires, making them more comfortable to wear. They are also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. This flexibility makes clear aligners a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
Discreet Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of clear aligners is their discreet nature. They are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. This makes them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want to improve their smile without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
The Clear Aligners Treatment Process

Consultation and Examination
The first step in the clear aligner treatment process is a consultation and examination with Dr. Parikh. During this appointment, Dr. Parikh will evaluate your teeth and oral health to determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for you.
Custom Treatment Plan
If you are a suitable candidate for clear aligners, Dr. Parikh will create a custom treatment plan for you. This involves taking digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to create your custom-made aligners.
Wearing Your Aligners
Once your clear aligners are ready, you will start wearing them for 20-22 hours a day. You will switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their correct positions throughout your treatment. You will also return to the office periodically to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan, and to receive your next few sets of aligners.
