SAVE $120 with our New Patient Special
Your journey to a new smile starts with a consultation with Dr. Leila, who will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. She’ll create impressions or digital scans and share a preview of your future smile.
When your first aligners arrive, you’ll visit our office to try them on and receive any adjustments and instructions for optimal use. Most patients wear them 20-22 hours a day, switching to the next set every two weeks.
You’ll visit us every 6 weeks to check your progress and pick up your next aligners. Dr. Leila will ensure your smile stays on track as your teeth gradually shift into place.
After completing your treatment, you’ll receive durable Invisalign retainers to maintain your straight smile. Worn nightly, they’ll keep your teeth aligned for years to come.
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth overlap the lower front teeth. While common, a large overbite can cause premature wear and jaw pain. Invisalign can gently shift your teeth into a healthier position without braces.
An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, often due to a forward lower jaw. It can affect chewing, speaking, and cause tooth wear. Invisalign may treat mild cases, but severe underbites may need surgery first.
In an ideal bite, the upper front teeth slightly overlap the lower front teeth. A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth, causing wear, gum recession, and potential bone loss. Invisalign can fix some crossbites—schedule a consultation to explore your options.
Gaps between your teeth are common but can lead to hygiene issues and gum disease. Invisalign can help close gaps for a healthier, seamless smile.
In an ideal bite, the upper and lower front teeth touch when the mouth is closed. An open bite occurs when they don't, causing difficulty with eating, chewing, speech, and tooth wear. Invisalign can gradually realign your teeth for a more functional bite.
Crowding occurs when teeth overlap due to limited space, making it harder to brush and floss, which can lead to plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Invisalign can help resolve most cases of crowded teeth.

Invisalign is virtually invisible from 5 feet away.
Invisalign clear braces are crafted with layers of photo-sensitive liquid resin, designed from impressions of your teeth. Once exposed to a special light, the resin cures into a hard and flexible thermoplastic called SmartTrack®, which was created exclusively for Invisalign treatment. It's got the approval of the FDA too!
One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is the ease of use and maintenance. Keep your aligners clean by brushing them with a toothbrush whenever you brush your teeth. If you’re out and about, you can simply rinse the aligners in lukewarm water. The most important thing to remember is to never use hot water or abrasive cleaners, as they can warp the plastic, rendering them ineffective, or even detrimental to your treatment. If you’re interested in a more thorough cleaning regiment, you can also purchase an Invisalign Cleaning System.
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible while they are being worn. In fact, most people won’t notice them at all! Not only is the plastic clear, but there are no bulky metal brackets or wires to draw attention to your teeth. Plus, your aligners are custom-made to fit snuggly and are trimmed down so they don’t show over your gum line.
In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of traditional braces, but pricing will vary depending on your unique oral health needs. For a more accurate estimate, schedule a consultation with your Poway cosmetic dentist today! Many insurance plans also cover some orthodontic treatments, so be sure to call your provider to get the details of your benefits.
When it comes to straightening your teeth, you have a few different options. Braces and Invisalign clear aligners are two of the most popular choices, but which one is right for you? While both can provide excellent results in terms of correcting misalignment or overcrowding issues with your teeth, they do come with some differences that should be considered before making a final decision.
Invisalign treatment offers a virtually invisible way of straightening your teeth without the need for metal wires or brackets that traditional braces require. At Smiles by Dr. Leila, we assist our patients in choosing the best option for their individual needs and lifestyle.
