Invisalign Clear Aligners in Los Angeles and Downey, CA

Straighten Your Teeth Without Traditional Braces

Invisalign clear aligners provide a removable and discreet way to improve the alignment of your teeth. Each series is planned around your smile, bite and treatment goals.

Dr. Won Jung Jeong and Dr. Debora Jeong provide Invisalign treatment for qualifying teens and adults at Mission Dental Group in Los Angeles and Downey, CA.

What Is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment uses a customized series of clear plastic aligners to gradually reposition the teeth. The aligners fit closely over your smile and are removable for meals, brushing and flossing.

You progress through the aligner series according to your personalized treatment plan. Regular appointments allow our dentists to monitor tooth movement and make adjustments when necessary.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

Depending on the complexity of your case, Invisalign clear aligners may help improve:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crooked or rotated teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Open bites
  • Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment

Clear aligners are not appropriate for every orthodontic condition. An examination and digital evaluation are necessary to determine whether Invisalign treatment can address your needs.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Patients often choose Invisalign because the aligners are:

  • Clear and discreet
  • Removable for eating and drinking
  • Removable for brushing and flossing
  • Smooth and custom-fitted
  • Free from metal brackets and wires
  • Planned digitally to show the intended tooth movements

Successful treatment depends on wearing the aligners consistently and following your dentist’s instructions.

Experienced Clear Aligner Care

Dr. Won Jung Jeong has practiced dentistry since 1993 and completed a master’s program in orthodontics at Chosun University in 1994. His background in orthodontics, restorative dentistry and full-mouth treatment planning helps him evaluate how tooth movement may affect the bite and overall smile.

Dr. Debora Jeong has practiced since 2023 and provides clear aligner, restorative and cosmetic dental care. Both dentists participate in Invisalign treatment planning and progress evaluations.

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Initial Consultation

Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and bite and discusses what you want to change about your smile. This evaluation helps determine whether clear aligners are suitable for your orthodontic needs.

Digital Impressions and Treatment Planning

An intraoral scanner creates a digital representation of your teeth without traditional impression material. Your dentist uses this information to plan a sequence of tooth movements and create your custom aligners.

Wearing Your Aligners

Wear each set of aligners according to the schedule provided by your dentist. The aligners should remain in place for most of the day and night and be removed for meals, most beverages and oral hygiene.

Progress Appointments

You will return periodically so your dentist can evaluate your progress and provide the next aligners in the series. Consistent wear helps treatment remain on schedule.

Retainers After Treatment

After completing Invisalign treatment, you will need a retainer to help maintain the new position of your teeth. Your dentist will explain how often to wear it.

Digital Technology for Personalized Planning

Mission Dental Group uses digital impressions, intraoral scanning and AI-assisted visualization to support treatment planning and patient education. These tools help our dentists evaluate tooth alignment, plan movements and explain the intended progression of treatment.

Digital planning does not guarantee a specific result. Your outcome depends on the complexity of your case, biological response and compliance with aligner wear.

Caring for Your Aligners and Teeth

Remove your aligners before eating and before drinking anything other than water. Brush and floss before placing the aligners back over your teeth whenever possible.

Clean the aligners according to the instructions provided by our team. Avoid exposing them to hot water, which can distort the material. Keep them in their case when they are not being worn.
