For years, Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen has been offering patients looking for an orthodontist in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica areas Invisalign treatments.In fact, we have helped straighten out smiles since Align Technology first pioneered invisible orthodontics and introduced the technology in 1999! Dr. Nikaeen has sharpened her expertise in the Invisalign process through many years of experience. For several years, She has been a Premier Provider of Invisalign. Now, she became an Elite provider of this highly advanced invisible braces technology.
WHAT IS INVISALIGN (INVISIBLE BRACES)?
This revolutionary orthodontic treatment uses clear aligners that fit over your teeth. Each set of trays is customized to move your teeth gradually into position. Over time, your teeth will align as the treatment progresses. Most patients see full results in 12-24 months. But, you can also select to accelerate your treatment and complete the invisible braces treatment in half of the standard treatment months! Invisalign aligners offer more comfort and can be taken out whenever you need. A fact that many Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills Invisalign patients love.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
First, Dr. Nikeen will make a 3-D rendering of your smile to assist in manufacturing your custom aligners. Every one to two weeks, you will switch out your aligners for a new pair. Each time your aligners are switched, your smile gradually moves to align with your treatment plan. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Los Angeles Invisalign patients appreciate that the aligners are nearly invisible. Additionally, they love the convenience of taking them out to brush their teeth and eat. They can also be taken out for other occasions, like taking selfies. Still, keep in mind the aligners should be worn 22 hours per day for maximum effect.
But how does Invisalign work to correct your dental problems? The transparent invisible aligners are made with the help of digital technology. This modern method allows them to fit snugly around your teeth with the greatest possible precision. By gently pressing your teeth, the trays pull each tooth into the desired position. With all your teeth aligned, the treatment creates a straight and charming smile. At the same time, it effectively eliminates overbite, gaps, or crowded teeth problems. However, even the best Invisalign in Santa Monica cannot correct every dental problem you might have. Still, working wonders in teeth and bite correction is Dr. Nikaeen’s specialty. So the odds are that this treatment can be for you.
CAN IT CORRECT MY DENTAL ISSUES?
If your teeth are slightly out of line and there is little crowding or spacing, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Los Angeles patients may benefit more from braces if they have:
- Severe crowding or spacing issues
- A serious overbite, underbite, or cross-bite
Dr. Nikaeen will work closely with you to find your ideal treatment plan.
BENEFITS
Is Invisalign worth it? Absolutely! Our patients report they appreciate the chance to get their teeth aligned without worrying about how they would look while undergoing the treatment.

All they have to do is to remove the aligners before eating, then brush and floss their teeth after eating and put the trays back on. Due to its unparalleled ease of use, our patients agree that it is well worth the effort.

These photos show the problems that can be solved and the impressive results available through wearing these high-end aligners.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO ACHIEVE RESULTS?
You may start enjoying and witnessing results as early as 2-3 months from when you first begin wearing the Invisalign aligners. However, the full treatment varies from 6 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your dental concerns. On average, it takes about a year for adults to get the desired results. Also, keep in mind that upon completing your course, we recommend wearing an invisible aligners. Doing this can prevent your teeth from moving back into the wrong position.

Invisalign Express for Minor Dental Problems

Thus, Invisalign express 10 results can be achieved in 20 weeks, and this is a perfect option for patients with a smaller degree of crowded and gap teeth. While the plan is more budget-friendly and short-term, it’s before and after results, as well as other benefits, are the same as those of the full course of Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign Express 5
Invisalign express 5 is a short-term plan focused on minor dental issues, which can be corrected with the minimum treatment. The plan covers 5 changes of clear aligners made every 2 weeks, while the full course takes about 10 weeks. Great Invisalign express 5 results are usually observed in patients requiring a small amount of movement, for example after previous treatment with braces. The convincing results are proven by before and after photos, while the cost is more attractive and affordable. As for the rest, the plan is in no way inferior to a regular full-featured treatment, providing the same comfort and effectiveness.
Cost
Invisalign express prices are far more reasonable compared to traditional plans since the short-term treatment requires a smaller number of aligners. Also, the treatment plans usually consume less dentist’s time and effort, which decreases fees. Depending on the circumstances, Invisalign express cost might be about 30% lower than the standard treatment. However, the express plans are applicable only in certain situations, and you should heed your dentist’s advice as to whether the plans meet your needs. Otherwise, you will save some money, but fail to achieve the desired result.
