Different Versions of Invisalign

Many patients prefer Invisalign treatment to that required with braces. This is for several reasons, including the clear, removable aligners.  Because so many patients are interested, Invisalign is offered in three different forms: Full, Express, and Teen.


Invisalign Full

Most patients who are candidates for Invisalign will get this type. Typical Full treatment involves twenty to thirty aligners over the course of twelve to eighteen months. It can address crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, and bite irregularities.


Invisalign Express

This option is for those with only minor orthodontic issues. This treatment requires only about ten aligners within six months. Candidates include patients with less than two millimeters of spacing, crowding, and midline adjustment per arch.


Invisalign Teen

Even teenagers can benefit from Invisalign treatment. Aligners with this option can expand to accommodate growing jaws and erupting wisdom teeth. Up to six aligners can be replaced if lost or damaged. Furthermore, the aligners feature a blue indictor dot, which disappears as they are worn. This will let the patient, patient’s parents, and our Beverly Hills Invisalign specialist know if they are being worn enough.
