What Are Invisalign & Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, including Invisalign, offer a discreet and flexible way to straighten your smile. Instead of brackets and wires, they use a series of transparent, removable trays that are changed out every couple of weeks. Each set is designed to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions, making treatment comfortable and convenient.

  • Virtually invisible The clear trays blend in with your natural teeth, so most people won’t notice them.
  • Custom-fitted Aligners are digitally designed to fit your mouth perfectly for comfort and precision.
  • Removable Take them out easily for meals, brushing, and flossing.
  • Low-maintenance Simple to clean and care for compared to traditional braces.

At Empower Dental Pasadena, your aligners are created with cutting-edge technology such as iTero, TRIOS, and Medit scanners, along with 3D printing for accurate fabrication. The result is a tailored orthodontic solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Why Choose Invisalign or Clear Aligners

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular orthodontic treatments for good reason—they make straightening your teeth simpler and more discreet than ever before. Designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine, they provide comfort, flexibility, and excellent results without the drawbacks of traditional braces.

  • Discreet appearance Smooth, clear trays straighten your teeth without visible brackets or wires.
  • Comfortable fit Gentle, gradual pressure guides your teeth without the irritation of tightening appointments.
  • Everyday convenience Remove your aligners to enjoy meals and keep up with your normal brushing and flossing routine.
  • Fewer appointments Digital treatment planning allows us to monitor progress efficiently with fewer office visits.
  • Reliable results Achieve a straighter, healthier smile with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.

Clear aligners are a great option for professionals, teens, and anyone who wants a confident smile without calling attention to their orthodontic treatment.

What to Expect from the Clear Aligner Process

Getting started with Invisalign or clear aligners at Empower Dental Pasadena is simple and comfortable. We begin with a full digital evaluation to design a treatment plan that’s tailored to your smile and lifestyle.

  • Intraoral cameras Provide detailed, real-time images of your teeth and gums.
  • Digital X-rays & 3D imaging Capture a complete picture of your bite and alignment.
  • Cone Beam CT scans Used when additional detail is needed for complex cases.
  • Digital Smile Design Lets you preview your future smile before treatment begins.

Once your plan is complete, we create a custom series of aligners. Each set is worn 20–22 hours a day and only removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning. You’ll come in for quick check-ins during treatment so we can track your progress and make adjustments if needed.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can be an excellent solution for many patients, but they aren’t right for everyone. They work best when teeth and gums are healthy and when patients can commit to wearing the trays as directed. Here are the situations where clear aligners are often most effective:

  • Mild to moderate misalignment Ideal for correcting crooked or unevenly spaced teeth without complex movement.
  • Spacing issues Gaps between teeth can often be closed effectively with aligners.
  • Bite problems Overbites, underbites, and minor crowding may be corrected with clear aligner therapy.
  • Healthy foundation Patients should have healthy gums and no untreated cavities before starting treatment.
  • Commitment to wear Aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day to deliver the best results.

During your consultation, our team will evaluate your oral health and treatment goals to confirm whether Invisalign or another clear aligner system is the right choice for you.

Rinse with warm water and use a soft toothbrush. Avoid toothpaste or colored soap, which can cause buildup or staining.

No. Smoking can discolor and warp the plastic, making your aligners more visible and less effective.

A slight lisp is common at first, but most patients adjust quickly within a few days.

You should wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily for the best results.

No. Heat can warp the plastic. Always remove your aligners before consuming hot drinks.

Only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.

Contact our office immediately. We’ll advise whether to move on to the next aligner or replace the lost one.

Most treatments take between 9–15 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

You may feel mild pressure or tightness when switching to a new set of aligners. This is normal and typically fades within a day or two.

We offer convenient payment plans through CareCredit, and Cherry to make treatment affordable.
