Smile Proudly Without Metal Braces
Straighten Your Teeth With Invisalign in San Pedro
Crooked teeth don't just affect the appearance of your smile. They also affect your overall oral health. Since they are harder to keep clean, you may be more prone to cavities and gum disease. A misaligned bite causes excess wear and tear on your teeth. Invisalign in San Pedro allows you to get a healthier smile. As a bonus, your clear plastic aligners won't attract attention, since they are nearly invisible. Your Invisalign treatment will:
- Feel more comfortable than standard metal braces, without any uncomfortable adjustments
- Offer the freedom to remove your aligners so you can eat anything you want
- Give you an aligned bite, so you eliminate dental wear and tear and other issues
- Improve your overall oral health since straight teeth are easier to clean
- Provide beautiful results in as few as 12 months, as opposed to two to three years like metal braces
- Give you a smile you feel confident in showing off to the world
- Discreetly straighten your teeth so you avoid metal in your mouth

Smile Confidently With Aligned Teeth
Invisalign treatment gives you a comfortable, nearly invisible way to correct crooked teeth and bite problems. With custom-made clear aligners and careful treatment planning by Dr. Shook, you can improve your smile, protect your teeth from excess wear, and make daily brushing and flossing easier.
Nearly Invisible Aligners
Clear aligners straighten your teeth without noticeable brackets or metal wires.
Removable Convenience
You can easily remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
Improved Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing risk of cavities and gum disease.
Comfortable Fit
Smooth plastic aligners reduce irritation and eliminate tightening appointments.
Healthier Bite Alignment
Correcting your bite reduces uneven pressure and prevents excessive enamel wear.
Faster Treatment Timeline
Many patients complete their care in as few as 12 months, shorter treatment time than braces.
Get the Smile You’ve Always Wanted With Clear Aligners
Unlike braces, with Invisalign there are no brackets and wires. Instead, you'll wear a series of clear aligners. Since they're practically invisible in your smile, most people probably won't even realize you're undergoing orthodontic treatment! No two smiles are the same, so no two Invisalign treatments will be exactly the same. Here's how your treatment should work:
- Dr. Shook will examine your mouth, then take photos and digital impressions of your teeth.
- She will then use 3-D software to design your treatment plan and determine the number of aligners you need.
- The information goes to a special Invisalign lab that manufactures your aligners.
- When your aligners arrive, we'll check the fit of the first set and review your treatment plan with you.
- You'll wear your aligners for at least 20 hours each day, then move to the next aligner in your series after two weeks.
You'll maintain this routine until you are finished with your series of dental aligners. That's all that is standing between you and a beautiful new smile!
Improve Your Oral Health by Correcting Your Misaligned Bite
In addition to improving how your smile looks, orthodontic treatment also improves how it feels and functions. Your overall oral health will improve after Invisalign treatment because straight teeth are easier to clean, so you'll be less susceptible to cavities and gum disease. Getting your bite into the proper alignment will reduce wear and tear on your teeth and gums. It can even help prevent jaw pain and headaches.
