Straighten Your Smile Without Metal Wires and Brackets
At Famous Hollywood Dental Care, we understand that traditional metal braces aren’t ideal for everyone. That’s why we offer advanced orthodontic solutions that let you straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly—without metal wires or brackets. With clear aligners like Invisalign, you can achieve a straighter smile in a way that suits your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern, nearly invisible alternative to metal braces. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, they fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into place. Additionally, clear aligners are removable and easy to maintain, making them a convenient choice for busy individuals who want effective, discreet orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Choosing No-Metal Orthodontic Solutions
Our no-metal solutions offer numerous advantages, making them a preferred option for patients seeking comfort and flexibility during treatment.
- Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without noticeable metal braces.
- Enhanced Comfort: Without metal brackets and wires, you’ll avoid common irritation and soreness often caused by traditional braces.
- Removable Convenience: You can easily remove clear aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene.
- Faster Treatment Times: In many cases, clear aligners may straighten teeth faster than traditional braces.
Furthermore, clear aligners allow you to enjoy a seamless orthodontic experience tailored to your needs.
How Clear Aligners Work
Your journey with clear aligners at Famous Hollywood Dental Care starts with a consultation with Dr. Fariba Kalantari. During this visit, Dr. Kalantari will create a 3D digital model of your teeth to design a personalized treatment plan. Next, you’ll receive a series of custom-made aligners that gradually guide your teeth into alignment.
Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set. By following your customized plan, you’ll watch your smile transform comfortably, without the drawbacks of traditional braces.
