Invisalign
Clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Often the first step in a smile makeover, and sometimes the only one you need.
Based in Brentwood & Burbank · Serving Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Glendale & PasadenaStraight teeth, quietly
Invisalign moves teeth with a series of clear trays, each one shaped slightly differently from the last. They're close to invisible, they come out to eat, and there are no brackets to rub or wires to tighten.
Experience that matters
Dr. Naim has been a gold level Invisalign provider for more than 20 years and has treated thousands of cases, including complex ones that many offices would refer to an orthodontist. She plans every tooth movement herself.
Part of a bigger plan
Straightening first can mean thinner veneers, less reshaping of natural teeth, or better spacing for an implant. When Invisalign is one step in a makeover, the whole result is planned together from the start.
Good candidates
You may be a good fit for Invisalign if any of these sound familiar. The only way to know for sure is a scan and an exam at our Brentwood or Burbank office.

About Invisalign
Am I too old for Invisalign?
No. Adults of every age straighten their teeth with aligners, and many of our patients are in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
Does it hurt?
Each new set feels snug for a day or two. Most people describe pressure rather than pain.
Can I eat normally?
Yes. You take the aligners out to eat and drink anything other than water, then brush before putting them back.
How long will it take?
Simple cases can finish in about six months. More complex ones take longer. You'll get a timeline at your scan.
