What is Invisalign?
Invisalign, now called Invis, uses removable clear aligners designed to move, straighten teeth, and align bites. They are FDA approved and are free from BPA, BPS, latex and gluten—making them a safe alternative to traditional braces. In fact, more than 5 million teens and adults have opted for the patented product and have significantly improved their smiles in a fraction of the time. Essentially, Invisalign is helping to change the way teeth are straightened.
The doctors partner with patients and assist them in navigating the path to an improved smile. While clear aligners are a valuable tool in straightening teeth and correcting bites, it is important to remember that they are simply a tool. The results achieved in treatment with Invisalign are dependent on the skill level of the treating orthodontist and staff. Patients can see how Invisalign will transform their smile through a free, no obligation consultation.
Some people also call Invis, clear braces, or they are referring to the Damon clear braces. Patients can receive a free consultation and treatment plan for both options at Burke & Redford Orthodontists in Temecula and Lake Elsinore.

What are the Advantages to Clear Braces and Aligners?
Clear braces using aligners allow patients to feel more comfortable while having their smile improved (as they are free from wires and brackets found in traditional braces). Patients have the luxury of removing aligners before meals and while brushing and flossing, which facilitates easier eating and more thorough cleaning. Clear aligners are also virtually undetectable. They are a great alternative for patients who desire a more flexible lifestyle than with braces.
How Much Does Invis Cost?
The clear braces cost for Invisalign clear aligners can range significantly, depending upon the complexity of the case. Each patient’s case is unique and should undergo an evaluation by our doctors to determine the best course of treatment.

Can Invisalign Really Help Me?
Yes, Invisalign - Invis can and has helped many patients in their quest for straighter teeth with many of the following conditions:
- Crowded, crooked teeth
- Excessive spacing (gap teeth)
- Uneven smiles
- Dental malocclusion (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
The Battle of the Overbite
Having an overbite is quite common and is visible when the upper teeth protrude beyond the lower teeth. An overbite is caused by poorly developed jaw relationships (lower jaw setting behind the upper jaw), malposition of teeth, or finger habits (thumb sucking). An untreated overbite can cause an array of oral health issues including poor chewing function and risk of trauma to permanent front teeth.
What Are My Options?
There are a variety of treatment options available for patients looking to straighten their teeth:
- Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to apply gentle pressure to correct tooth malposition.
- Ceramic braces use clear brackets and tooth-colored wires (making them much less noticeable) to gently straighten teeth.
- Lingual braces are placed on the back surface of teeth and are virtually invisible from the outside, even when close-up.
- Self-ligating braces utilize clear or metal brackets with a built-in sliding door mechanism to hold the wire (instead of elastic ties found in traditional braces). This allows for fewer office visits and shorter time spent in the dental chair.
- Invisalign - Invis and other clear braces aligner systems offer the most lifestyle flexibility as they are removable and among the least visible of all options.
Am I Too Old for Braces?
Maintaining esthetic tooth alignment, a proper bite, and good dental health is something everyone can enjoy throughout their lifetime; therefore, there is no age limit on braces for adults. Many adults seek the benefits of orthodontic treatment and trust Invisalign and other orthodontist-directed clear aligner systems because they desire a clear and removable option as an alternative to traditional braces.
