Gentle and Precise Invisalign aligners are exceptionally gentle, making them ideal for developing smiles. Children can easily progress through their aligners, typically changing them every week, thanks to the pinpoint accuracy of the 3D dental technology used in producing Invisalign trays.
Fewer Emergencies Invisalign reduces the need for emergency appointments often associated with traditional braces, providing peace of mind for both parents and kids.
Oral Hygiene With Invisalign, children can maintain excellent oral hygiene as there are no brackets or wires to navigate around. This minimizes the risk of oral hygiene issues like white spots or cavities.

Will Invisalign Work for My Teeth?
Dr. Phillips has successfully treated underbites, overbites, crowding, spacing and everything in between with Invisalign. Aligners have been around for over 30 years and are considered a comprehensive tooth straightening device!
Is Invisalign For Me?
If you can brush your teeth, you can wear Invisalign to get the smile you've always wanted. The best part of Invisalign aligners is they look great, and it's so easy to keep your teeth clean. The hard part is you have to wear it for them to work!
Are Invisalign Aligners Uncomfortable?
We want your treatment to be as delightful as possible. Studies have shown that patients with aligners have significantly less discomfort (pain) than those who use braces.
Retainers and Aftercare
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to maintain your beautiful smile. Here’s what to expect:
- Follow Dr. Phillips’ instructions regarding retainer usage diligently. Typically, you’ll wear your retainers full-time initially and then gradually transition to nighttime wear. Keep them clean by gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
- Maintain regular dental check-ups with your general dentist to monitor your oral health and retainer fit.
If you experience any issues or have questions about your Invisalign Encinitas and Mira Mesa CA treatment, retainers, or any ongoing orthodontic care, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for guidance and support.
