Clear Aligners in West Hills

Clear aligners in West Hills are a modern alternative to braces that straighten your teeth using a series of removable, see-through trays. Each tray is slightly different from the last, so your teeth move a little at a time until they reach their final position. Invisalign is the best-known brand of clear aligner, and it is what we use at Chomp Orthodontics.

How clear aligners work

1. We take a digital scan of your teeth, so no messy molds.
2. An orthodontist plans each stage of movement from start to finish.
3. You wear each aligner 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to the next set on schedule.
4. Short check-ins confirm you are on track until your smile is complete.

Clear aligners vs braces

Aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which many patients prefer. Braces are fixed in place and can be the better tool for very complex cases. Both are effective for common issues like crooked teeth, crowding, and gaps. The honest answer about which is right for you comes from an exam, which is exactly what your free consultation is for.

Who they suit

Clear aligners work well for motivated teens and adults who will wear them consistently. If you tend to forget, fixed braces might serve you better, and we will say so. Either way, you will leave your consultation knowing your best option.
