What is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment involves using a series of clear aligner trays that gently shift teeth into optimal alignment over time. The trays are made of a clear, durable material that is custom fit to your teeth, and they use gentle pressure to align your smile. They are removable and discreet and offer an exceptionally convenient way to straighten teeth. Invisalign aligners avoid metal brackets and wires and minimize the visits you'll have to make to our practice during orthodontic treatment.

Because these trays are removable, you can maintain your normal diet, and your oral hygiene routine won't need to be changed. We utilize clear aligners to treat mild to moderate cases and sometimes employ them for complex cases, depending on the situation. Our team has completed advanced training to provide you with precision Invisalign services, and we are members of the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA). If you're looking for an innovative and convenient way to straighten your smile, our dental team is happy to discuss the best options for your needs.

Whether you want to reap the cosmetic benefits of a straighter smile or experience relief from issues causing you pain or possible health complications, don't hesitate to ask about how Invisalign clear aligners can help. Some common issues we treat with clear braces include:

Our Invisalign Clear Aligners Process

Our team will begin with a thorough dental exam and discussion of your smile goals when you come in for an Invisalign treatment consultation. Once we determine that Invisalign trays are right for you, we'll create a personalized treatment plan and begin your Invisalign treatment process by taking precision digital impressions of your smile with our iTero® intraoral scanner. This ergonomically designed scanner is built for comfort and creates a detailed digital model of your teeth without using traditional putty impressions. We'll send these images to our trusted dental lab, and they'll begin creating your Invisalign trays. When they're ready, we'll place your first set of trays, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

Vivera® Retainers and Teeth Whitening

Once your orthodontic treatment with Invisalign aligners has concluded and your teeth are optimally aligned, you'll need a way to protect your results as your bite stabilizes. We generally use Vivera retainers made from the same durable, transparent material as your Invisalign trays. These retainers offer an excellent way to protect your smile and ensure your results last as long as possible. We'll usually offer four sets of Vivera retainers and will discuss how often and long you should wear them. As a bonus, take-home teeth whitening is available for free at the end of your treatment. The whitening gel provided can be used with your aligners to provide a cosmetic boost for your whole smile.

This office is like a dental office "down the hill". First rate service and skills. Love the staff and dentist!

Martha M.

Dr. Yoshida is the BEST! Besides being excellent at her job, she is one of the most thoughtful, gentle dentists' you will ever meet. She has elevated the dental experience and I routinely tell my friends it's as close as I often get to a spa treatment with the massage chair, heated neck wraps and music in your ears while she works on you! And it's alway pain free. I don't think you could find a better dentist, she's the best!

Carol N.

Iv'e been a patient of Dr. Yoshida's for many years. I moved to AZ a few years ago, but still drive back to Big bear for my dental appointments. Summit Dental is the best!

I love everything about Summit Dental. The staff is so comforting and friendly. My children are 6 and 3 and have absolutely no fear of the dentist because of the warm atmosphere created by everyone here. Dr. Yoshida goes above and beyond for her patients and it is very much appreciated by myself and my family. I will not go anywhere else.

Jen E.

Moving to Big Bear full-time ten years ago, we weren't sure we'd find in a new dentist. Dr. Yoshida, assistants, and staff are beyond what we could have imagined. Compassionate, kind, and fun are a few words that come to mind, along with state of the art equipment and a beautiful and relaxing waiting room and office. We love Dr. Yoshida and all her staff and are so, so happy to have found her. We recommend them to anyone in the valley looking for these services.

Pam M.

Very friendly staff! My four year old came in worried, and left loving the tooth doctor! They do everything to make you feel comfortable. The work is amazing, and everyone explains everything, every step of the way!
