Invisalign® Thousand Oaks, CA
Clearly Creating Beautiful Smiles
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a brand of clear aligner braces that is considered by many to be the best method of unobtrusively achieving teeth alignment without flashy metal brackets and metal wires. Invisalign® clear braces are practically invisible and are constructed of a flexible thermoplastic material called SmartTrack. It is a removeable device so you can take them out at night, for a special occasion, and to clean. Each aligner set is work for a couple of weeks before being switched out for a new tray. Rather than individually shifting one tooth at a time, Invisalign® shifts them all at once.
The Invisalign® procedure is only available under the care of a qualified dentist. Our dentists at Newbury Dental Group in Thousand Oaks, Dr. Peyman Saghizadeh and Dr. Sam Saghizadeh, are proud to offer the service.
The Journey to Corrected Teeth and a Brand-New Smile
You are probably wondering, “What is the procedure for Invisalign in Thousand Oaks?” After a free consultation with one of our Invisalign® dentists confirming that you are a good candidate for clear braces, an impression of your teeth is taken so that a series of aligners can be created in a dental lab. The aligners are made from a see-through thermoplastic material that is strong but also flexible and comfortable.
Once your Invisalign® is back from the lab, you’ll be fitted. The process is painless. The aligners should be worn for 22 hours a day and every two weeks; they need to be switched out with the next one in the series. Over a period of months, the aligners will slowly move teeth into place, making one minor adjustment at a time that is targeted to specific teeth. This helps your teeth to be comfortable as they are moved into position at a manageable pace. Once you have completed wearing your aligners, your teeth should be perfectly straight. Congratulations on your straight teeth and wonderful new smile.
Big Benefits of Invisalign in Thousand Oaks
Traditional metal braces were the going solution for correcting and straightening teeth for decades but in the past years, Invisalign® has taken the spotlight for many reasons including these amazing benefits:
- Invisalign® are removeable making them a convenient choice.
- They are more comfortable than braces made of metal.
- Because the braces are clear, no one can tell you are wearing them.
- The aligners are clear so no one can tell you are straightening your teeth.
- They are only worn for 22 hours a day so you can take them out to eat dinner, go on a date, have your picture taken, or make an important presentation at work.
You can brush and floss your teeth like normal, and no additional tools are required. - There is less of a risk that your teeth will become stained as compared with wearing metal braces that can leave stains behind.
- The procedure is more comfortable than metal braces since the aligners move teeth into place slowly and only focus on a few teeth at a time.
- Aligners are easy to take care of since you only use the same aligner for a couple of weeks.
Comfortable, Convenient and Affordable Too!

What Our Patients Often Ask Us
The American Dental Association endorses dental guidance as the best indicator as to how many times you need an examination or cleaning. For the most part, patients with good oral health require a dental exam and cleaning as little as twice a year depending on necessity. Patients who have more complex dental issues may need to see our dentists more frequently. Our primary goal is to evaluate patients individually to help formulate a strategy to fit each need.
Even with regular brushing and flossing, it is easy to miss tartar and plaque build-up which creates an environment for bacteria to flourish. Dental cleanings prevent gum disease and tooth loss, but more importantly, it removes stains and enhances your smile. Benefits include:
Newbury Dental Group wants you to feel comfortable during your appointment, so we utilize a variety of tools to deliver accurate, high-quality care.
- During your check-up, you will have an exam and cleaning which includes a fluoride treatment. Not only will it prevent cavities, but it is resistant to build-up and sugar-decay which will improve your oral health. The access to fluoride is vital to younger patients, but it also helps during the aging process as it slows down decay.
- You will also receive instruction on appropriate oral hygiene techniques like brushing and flossing which help to avoid serious dental problems.
- Cancer screenings are essential parts of your check-up. Our dentists look for both precancerous lesions as well as cancerous growth as research shows the earlier the detection the higher the chance of your recovery.
- Once you receive a cleaning, your dentist will apply a thin application of sealant which will help to prevent tooth decay. Not only will the coating protect a tooth’s enamel, but it will also block the buildup of plaque.
Typical dental tools include mirrors, burs, and probes which most patients have experience because of their routine use in dental care. You may also need an x-ray which will consist of digital imaging and an intra-oral camera.
- Dental tools enhance imaging and provide excellent sources for accuracy and detection.
- Our hygienists also use a replaceable saliva ejector which slowly removes spit while also avoiding the spread of disease.
