clearalignersLongBeach—DiscreetOrthodonticTreatmentforAdults

You've been thinking about this for years. Maybe since college. But the thought of walking into a board meeting with metal braces keeps stopping you.

You're a professional. Your smile should match the confidence you bring to everything else.

Why Professionals Choose clear aligners in Long Beach

clear aligners uses clear, removable aligners. No metal. No wires. No explaining anything to anyone.

Most adults finish treatment in 6 to 18 months. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, then move to the next set. Your teeth shift gradually. You see progress every few weeks.

The aligners come out for big moments. Important presentation? Remove them. Client dinner? No one will know. They're virtually invisible either way.

What to Expect from Your clear aligners Treatment

Your journey starts with a consultation. We take digital scans using our iTero scanner. No messy impressions, no gagging. Just a quick scan that shows us exactly what we're working with.

Dr. Vu reviews your case personally. She maps out your treatment plan and shows you what your smile will look like before you begin.

You'll receive a series of custom aligners, each shaped specifically for your teeth. You change them every two weeks. We see you every 8 to 10 weeks to monitor progress.

Most adult cases require 20 to 40 aligners. Refinements are included in your treatment plan.
