Now there’s a beautiful way for Los Angeles, California orthodontics patients to get the brilliant smiles they crave without braces. Dr. David Alpan of Aesthetic Orthodontics offers a nearly invisible alternative to metal braces and clear braces—the Invisalign tooth straightening system.
Misalignment of teeth, or malocclusion, is one of the most common dental conditions, affecting over 75% of the U.S. population. Traditional treatments for malocclusion, like metal braces, can be uncomfortable, are noticeable when worn, and present a number of challenges such as food restrictions and special cleaning techniques.
Using a series of removable, virtually undetectable aligners, Invisalign gradually corrects the patient’s smile with none of the embarrassment and hassle of metal braces. And unlike previous versions of “invisible braces”—ceramic braces or those worn on the backs of the teeth—Invisalign lets patients eat their favorite foods, brush and floss without hassle, and flash their brightest smiles without worry, making it one of the most popular teeth straightening options available to orthodontics patients today.
While patients are being treated with Invisalign, their clear plastic aligners are replaced every two weeks. Each set of aligners is custom-manufactured according to a personalized treatment plan. These aligners, over time, straighten teeth and leave patients with dazzling smiles, increased confidence and improved self-esteem. Because the trays are removable and there are no brackets or wires to bend or break, there are far fewer restrictions while under treatment than patients would have with traditional metal braces. No foods are off-limits and patients can care for their teeth as they normally would.
A certified Invisalign orthodontist since 1999, Dr. Alpan has helped over 1,000 patients achieve picture perfect smiles with Invisalign. In 2001, he was hired by Align Technology to train other dental professionals to use this popular and highly effective method to straighten teeth. Since then he has trained over 6,000 Invisalign dentists. Furthermore, Dr. Alpan has served as a study club leader for LA Invisalign dentists since 2003.
Dr. Alpan has been recognized by Align Technology as a 2009 Elite Invisalign Premier Provider, a designation given to less than 1% of all Invisalign providers in North America. He is also a member of the prestigious Invisalign Century Club, an honor awarded to the nation’s top 100 providers. Every year, Dr. Alpan and his team participate in a continuing education program in order to stay abreast of the latest innovations in orthodontic treatment.
With offices in LA, Beverly Hills, and Las Vegas, Dr. David Alpan is a leader in the field of orthodontics. The highly-trained, professional staff at Aesthetic Orthodontics is committed to treating every patient with caring and respect, and to providing a pleasant, family environment in which to receive orthodontic treatment. Under Dr. Alpan’s leadership, and with over 1,000 patients treated, Aesthetic Orthodontics is the premier Los Angeles Invisalign provider.
In addition to Invisalign treatment, Dr. Alpan also offers treatment for TMJ/TMD and Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSD) to help relieve neuromuscular symptoms like migraines, head and neck pain, and stiffness or pain in the back and shoulders.
