What is involved in Long Beach Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner is custom-made using 3D digital scans for precise, comfortable movement.
Patients in Long Beach often choose Invisalign because it is discreet, easy to remove for meals and brushing, and effective for correcting crowding, spacing, bite issues, and many other orthodontic concerns.
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation at our office, where we evaluate your smile, discuss goals, and take digital scans.
Most patients wear their aligners for 20–22 hours per day, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. Treatment length varies based on your needs, but many Long Beach Invisalign patients complete treatment in 12–18 months.
We’ll monitor your progress throughout the process and make adjustments to keep your results on track.
When used as directed, Invisalign has been proven to be just as effective as traditional braces at treating many of the most common orthodontic problems. The Invisalign clear aligner system aligns teeth and helps to improve oral health by using a series of clear, removable aligners. At your initial consultation, we will use x-rays and digital impressions to create a precise 3D image of the teeth at your initial consultation. From this, we build a customized aligner that is specific to each patient’s smile. The trays are constructed of a smooth, comfortable material that fits firmly over the teeth. These trays are designed to be switched out every 1-2 weeks to keep up with the teeth as they move into their desired new positions.
What are the benefits of choosing Long Beach Invisalign treatment?
Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is especially important for orthodontic patients. This means that one of the biggest benefits of Invisalign aligners besides being nearly invisible is that you can remove them. Invisalign aligners are designed to be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This means you’ll never have to worry about food getting stuck in brackets or wires. They’re also meant to be removed before brushing and flossing. This makes it’s much easier to access your teeth and maintain a good oral hygiene routine.
With Invisalign, you don’t have to forego any of your favorite foods while you’re working on a straighter smile! Since you can remove you clear aligners, you can avoid any food restriction. This is significant because food restrictions are often the biggest learning curve with traditional braces. Aligners do need to be removed before all meals in order to avoid staining. They should also be cleaned and rinsed out with warm water at least once or twice a day.
With Invisalign aligners, you won’t get poked and irritated by wires in your and there aren’t any adjustment appointments, either. Invisalign wearers are still expected to attend follow-up visits about every 6-8 weeks, however, so that Dr. Joel Brodsky or Dr. Charles Brodsky can be sure everything is progressing on schedule.

How does the Long Beach Invisalign system work?
The Invisalign system is pretty straightforward. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks, and should only be removed to eat, drink, brush, or floss. As the aligners are replaced with the next one in the series, your teeth will be moving gradually, until they reach their final desired positions.
During visits with Brodsky Orthodontics, we will check to make sure treatment is going according to plan. You must change the aligners on and wear them as directed. This is the most important element to success with your Long Beach Invisalign. Your trays will be custom designed to fit your needs. They will need to be changed frequently in order to keep up with the shifting of the teeth as they begin to straighten. Not changing aligners as scheduled or skipping your appointments can quickly undo any progress that’s been made.
It’s important to remember that every patient will respond to orthodontic treatment differently. Treatment time depends significantly on patient compliance. Invisalign works in a slightly different and less invasive way than braces to straighten the teeth. This means it can be hard to say with certainty how long a patient will need to wear them before seeing results. Though the average tends to be somewhere between 6 and 18 months, this can vary widely from case to case.
Any small deviation from instructions can add extra time to the overall process. Invisalign can only work if patients stick to the program.
The average treatment time is estimated based on patients following the recommended guidelines. This means wearing aligners for at least 20-22 hours every single day, throughout the course of treatment
