About Invisalign
Thanks to modern technology and medical advancements, our dentists at Emigh Dental Care are able to use Invisalign to help create a healthier, better functioning and better looking smile. After completing a 3-D scan of your mouth with our iTero scanner, Invisalign's patented technology uses a series of customized clear aligners to apply constant gentle pressure on your teeth. This means you can move the teeth into proper position not only more comfortably than traditional braces, but often in a shorter time. With the many advancements of Invisalign throughout the years, it can treat most of the cases traditional braces can. Whether patients want to straighten their teeth for appearance, or to improve the long-term health, our experienced Invisalign providers in Long Beach, CA can help.
Since 2011, Emigh Dental Care has successfully completed almost 1,000 Invisalign cases. They have been recognized by Invisalign as a Platinum Invisalign Provider, showing their skill and experience.
What to Expect
To be fitted for Invisalign, our dental staff will take photos, digital X-rays, and 3-D impressions of your teeth with our iTero digital scanner. Using this info, a series of clear, plastic, customized aligners will be created to fit your mouth perfectly. Wearing these aligners full time except while eating and brushing/flossing, you will switch to new aligners at home every 1-2 weeks, typically coming to Emigh Dental Care every 6-8 weeks for a quick checkup. The aligners will predictably and efficiently move your teeth from where they start to the final position that the dentist approves of using Invisalign's patented technology. Conveniently, aligners are comfortable and easily removable, which is ideal for eating, brushing, and flossing. You can expect to be comfortable during your orthodontic treatment, while knowing the trays are predictably and efficiently moving your teeth to a healthier and more functional position, improving cosmetics along the way for that smile of a lifetime.
Treatment Timeline and Aftercare
Invisalign treatment time depends on the starting position of the teeth and what needs to be changed based on the patient's goals and doctor's vision. Almost all of our Invisalign patients are completed in less than 2 years, more than half of them in less than 12 months.
Do you want to speed up your case? The V-Pro might be good for you. We offer the "V-Pro", a vibrational mouthpiece which can cut treatment time in half while increasing predictability and comfort at the same time. You simply by bite on this device for 5 mins/night. We've been using this device with many of our cases over the last few years with great success. Ask our knowledgeable dentists for more info.
After your teeth have been moved into their ideal position, retainers will be made for you to wear, and our dentist will instruct you on how long to wear them. You will typically wear them 6-12 months full time, followed by night time wear.
Invisalign® Reviews
After seeing many different dentists and never being completely satisfied with my care, I was beyond thrilled to have safely landed in the capable hands of Emigh Dental Care! Everything from dental implants to invisalign has been a breeze! I recommend them to everyone I know in the area. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give them. Thank you for being the best of the best! I appreciate this office so much!
I’m a lawyer, and I love what I do. But I want to quit what I am doing and work at this dental office because the people. They are so nice and considerate. And they are masters at what they do. Every time I go see them which is about 8 times a year (for Invisalign and cleanings), I feel like I become a happier and better person for the experience of being around them. USC DENTAL SCHOOL OWNERS Did you know that USC Dental School is the #1 dental school in the world? And guess what? The owners both went to USC Dental School. It all started with their father who also went to USC Dental School. They inherited his dental practice and continued the tradition of having great people around them. MESMERIZING SYSTEMS This doesn’t happen by accident. Every day before the day starts, the company has a standing meeting with all staff members. Second, the owners have been getting coaching for years on how to have the best business practices in place to hire, train, and retain the best talent. IT STARTS WITH PEOPLE As with any great company, it starts with great people. It started with the dad, and now the sons are carrying the torch. Dr. Todd is such a great person as is every staff member that I met. I draw inspiration from them on what I want for my business. Essentially, I want a place with incredibly competent and nice people who love working with each other. There people are here for their lifetimes. There is no reason for any of their employees to go work anywhere else because it’s the best environment ever. A place this good and a place this inspiring shouldn’t exist. I don’t know how they can continue to do what they do every day. But I love them and I look forward to being around them.
We’ve been going to Emigh Dental for 10+ years. The entire staff from doctors to hygienists to front desk to billing are all wonderful. We’ve had root canals, crowns, Invisalign, and sleep guards done along with our bi-annual cleaning checks. I don’t particularly like going to the dentist 🦷 bc of the noises and uncomfortable feelings in my mouth. But Emigh dental provides a blanket to keep me warm, headphones to block out the noises, and TV to distract my attention. They are the best dental professionals in SoCal.
