Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?

At Le Chic Dentist, we believe everyone deserves a confident, beautiful smile. Invisalign is an excellent solution for many of our patients who have mild to moderate orthodontic concerns—such as crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, or bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Ideal candidates for Invisalign at Le Chic Dentist have healthy teeth and gums, as any untreated cavities or gum disease should be addressed prior to starting treatment.

Invisalign is a popular choice among both teenagers and adults who want a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. To achieve the best results, you’ll need to commit to wearing your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day and follow your Le Chic Dentist orthodontist’s instructions carefully.

If you have more complex dental concerns or require significant tooth movement, our experienced team at Le Chic Dentist will discuss alternative orthodontic options that may better suit your needs. We always begin with a comprehensive dental evaluation to determine if Invisalign is the most effective treatment for your unique smile.

At Le Chic Dentist, we believe that every smile is unique—and so is your journey to a straighter, healthier set of teeth. If you’re considering Invisalign, our team will work closely with you to determine whether this innovative treatment is the best fit for your needs.

Several factors guide our recommendations:

1. Complexity of Your Case

Invisalign works best for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns, such as minor crowding, spacing, or certain bite issues (overbite, underbite, or crossbite). For more severe orthodontic cases, our dentists at Le Chic Dentist may suggest alternative treatments to ensure optimal results.

2. Age Considerations

Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults, but children whose permanent teeth haven’t fully erupted may need to wait before starting treatment. Our friendly team at Le Chic Dentist will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure timing is just right.

3. Commitment to Treatment

Successful Invisalign results depend on wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours each day. If you think you’ll have trouble keeping them in for the recommended time, let us know—we’ll discuss all your options to find what works best for your lifestyle.

4. Oral Health Status

Before starting Invisalign at Le Chic Dentist, it’s important that your gums are healthy and any cavities are treated. Our dental professionals will provide a comprehensive exam and address any issues beforehand, so your treatment proceeds smoothly.

5. Existing Dental Work

If you have crowns, bridges, or dental implants, our experienced dentists will evaluate how these might impact your Invisalign treatment. Every patient’s situation is unique, and we’ll craft a personalized plan that takes your dental history into account.

The only way to know for sure if Invisalign is right for you is with a complete evaluation from our skilled team at Le Chic Dentist. We’ll review your alignment concerns, oral health, and lifestyle goals to design a treatment plan that suits you perfectly.

To ensure your beautiful, newly aligned smile lasts a lifetime, it’s essential to wear your retainers as directed by our team.

At Le Chic Dentist, we typically recommend that patients wear their retainers full-time—about 20 to 22 hours a day—for the first three to six months following Invisalign treatment. This means you should only remove your retainers to eat, drink anything other than water, or while brushing and flossing your teeth.

After this initial period, if Dr. Maryam Hadian determines your teeth are stable, you may be able to switch to wearing your retainers only at night. Nightly wear is usually suggested for at least a year after your treatment is completed. However, because your teeth can naturally shift over time, our team often recommends continuing to wear your retainers a few nights a week indefinitely to help maintain your results.

Every smile is unique, so your retainer schedule may be adjusted based on your individual needs. Please be sure to follow the personalized instructions provided by your Le Chic Dentist team. Skipping retainer wear can cause your teeth to gradually move out of alignment, potentially undoing all the progress you’ve made with Invisalign.

Remember: Consistency is key! If you have any questions about your retainers or notice any shifting, contact us at Le Chic Dentist right away. We’re committed to helping you preserve your stunning smile for years to come.

At Le Chic Dentist, we offer Invisalign treatment for both your upper and lower teeth. Invisalign aligners are custom-crafted to fit your unique smile, allowing us to address misalignment in both arches at the same time for the most harmonious and functional results.

During your initial consultation at Le Chic Dentist, our experienced team will carefully assess your dental health and bite to determine if Invisalign is the best option for you. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll take a precise digital scan or impression of both your upper and lower teeth. Using this information, we’ll create a personalized series of aligners designed to gently guide both arches into their ideal positions.

Treating both the upper and lower teeth together often leads to optimal results and helps ensure your bite functions properly. Our team at Le Chic Dentist will provide you with detailed instructions and support throughout your Invisalign journey, so you can achieve your best smile.

If you have questions about treating just your upper or lower teeth, don’t hesitate to ask! At Le Chic Dentist, we’re committed to creating a treatment plan that’s perfectly suited to your needs. Book your consultation today and discover how Invisalign can transform your smile!

Navigating the world of orthodontics can be confusing, but determining if Invisalign is your ideal solution shouldn’t be a guessing game. While clear aligners are a powerful tool, they are not a “one-size-fits-all” magic wand. Dr. Maryam Hadian distinguishes herself not just by approving treatment, but by offering a transparent, deep-dive analysis of your dental architecture. As a Platinum Invisalign Provider at Le Chic Dentist, she leverages years of complex case experience to foresee challenges that a standard provider might miss. If your smile requires more than what aligners can offer, she provides an honest assessment; if Invisalign is the perfect fit, she customizes the protocol to ensure your results are not just straight, but structurally sound.

Beyond the clinical mechanics, Dr. Hadian evaluates the “human factor”—your unique lifestyle in the fast-paced Los Angeles and Santa Monica area. Success with Invisalign relies heavily on patient compliance, and Dr. Hadian helps you honestly assess if the freedom of a removable appliance suits your daily habits better than fixed options. Her approach is a blend of clinical rigor and personal mentorship; she doesn’t simply hand you a box of trays. Instead, she partners with you using advanced 3D visualization to demonstrate exactly why Invisalign is the superior choice for your specific biology and aesthetic goals, ensuring you feel confident in your investment from day one.
