Expert Invisalign Care by Dr. Vahid Babaeian, Board-Certified Orthodontist
What Is Invisalign for Adults?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens your teeth without brackets or wires. Each custom-made aligner gently shifts your teeth into position—discreetly and comfortably. It’s the perfect alternative to traditional braces for busy professionals, parents, and anyone who values aesthetics and convenience.
- Completely invisible – aligners cannot be seen while you are wearing them! Friends, family members and co-workers may never even know you are wearing braces, unless of course you tell them!
- Comfortable to wear – The aligners are made from a special plastic that has smooth, rounded edges so they won’t irritate your mouth and tissues like traditional braces often can.
- Customized just for you – Your aligners are customized to fit your mouth. Dr. Babaeian uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to replicate an exact impression of your mouth and teeth, then he customizes each aligner so that it fits your mouth, and over time moves your teeth into the proper position.
- Removable –Unlike traditional metal braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush your teeth, floss and for special occasions. There’s no need to change your lifestyle with Invisalign!
- Effective – You will begin to notice a significant difference even before your treatment is complete! Most treatments are completed within one year; however this can vary from patient to patient.

How Does Invisalign Work?
When you begin your treatment you will receive several sets of custom fit aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for only two weeks. After two weeks you can switch your aligners with the next set and continue straightening your teeth. Over time you will notice changes in the alignment of your teeth and in just a few months you will have a straighter, healthier smile!

How the Process Works
Step 1: Consultation
We evaluate your bite, facial structure, and symptoms to determine if surgical orthodontics is right for you.
Step 2: Digital Imaging & Planning
Using 3D scans and X-rays, we map your jaw and design a precise treatment plan in collaboration with a surgical partner.
Step 3: Jaw Surgery & Braces
The jaw is repositioned surgically to improve bite and facial symmetry. Braces are used before and after surgery to align your teeth.
Step 4: Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients recover within 2–6 weeks. We guide you through a custom aftercare plan and monitor your long-term results.
