Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy in Brentwood, CA

At Fairview Dental Brentwood, we believe that a straight smile is a healthy smile. While many people seek orthodontic treatment for aesthetic reasons, properly aligned teeth are also much easier to clean and less prone to uneven wear. Dr. Thuc Luu is a provider of Invisalign®, the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, offering Brentwood residents a discreet, comfortable, and “brace-free” way to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into place without the need for metal brackets or wires.

How Invisalign Transforms Your Smile

Invisalign is designed to treat a wide variety of orthodontic concerns for both teens and adults:

• Crowded Teeth: When there isn’t enough room in the jaw for teeth to fit normally.
• Gaps (Diastema): Closing unwanted spaces between teeth.
• Overbite/Underbite: Correcting issues where the upper and lower teeth don’t align properly.
• Crossbite: When upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, causing tooth wear or bone loss.
• Open Bite: When upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed.

The Invisalign Journey: What to Expect

At Fairview Dental, we utilize the latest digital technology to make your treatment predictable and efficient.

1. Digital Consultation and 3D Scanning

We start with a high-resolution digital scan of your teeth. No messy, “goop-filled” impressions are required. Using specialized software, Dr. Luu creates a 3D Roadmap of your treatment. You can even see a virtual simulation of what your smile will look like before you even start.

2. Custom Aligner Fabrication

Your treatment plan is sent to the Invisalign lab, where a series of aligners are 3D-printed using SmartTrack® material. This medical-grade plastic is designed specifically to provide gentle, constant force for more predictable tooth movement.

3. Living with Aligners

You will wear each set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to a new set every 1–2 weeks as directed. Each tray is slightly different, gradually moving your teeth closer to their final destination.

4. Progress Checks

You’ll visit our Brentwood office every 6–8 weeks so Dr. Luu can monitor your progress and provide your next batches of aligner sets.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?

Invisalign offers several lifestyle advantages that make it a favorite for our East Bay patients:

• Virtually Invisible: Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, making them perfect for professionals and social settings.
• Removable: You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This means no “forbidden food” list and much better oral hygiene compared to metal braces.
• Comfort: There are no sharp metal brackets to irritate your cheeks or tongue.
• Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign often requires fewer appointments than traditional braces, as there are no wires to tighten.
• Trusted Resource: Explore the Official Invisalign Patient Gallery to see real-world results.

Maintaining Your Results: The Retention Phase

Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, the “retention” phase begins. To prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions (orthodontic relapse), we will provide you with Vivera® Retainers. These are made from the same durable, clear material as your aligners and are typically worn only at night.
