Invisible braces Downtown Los Angeles. Dr. Kevin Chin at City of Angels Dentistry provides clear aligner orthodontic treatment — the modern alternative to metal braces for adults and teens who want results without visibility.
Patients who come in asking about invisible braces are usually adults who've wanted to address their teeth for years but couldn't commit to the visibility of traditional braces. Dr. Kevin Chin has been providing clear aligner treatment in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and his assessment at every consultation is the same: is this patient a good candidate for clear aligners, and what does a realistic outcome look like for their teeth? Those are the questions that matter.
Dr. Chin assesses your teeth and bite to determine whether clear aligner treatment can address your orthodontic situation. He provides a digital outcome preview before any treatment begins.
Custom aligner trays are fabricated from a digital scan of your teeth. You receive a series of trays, each worn for two weeks before progressing to the next.
Treatment completes when your teeth reach their final planned positions. Retainers maintain the result. Most adult cases complete in 12–18 months.
Invisible braces — more commonly known as clear aligners or Invisalign — straighten teeth through a series of custom clear trays worn nearly full-time. At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, Dr. Kevin Chin provides clear aligner treatment for adults and teens with same-week consultations available.
Invisible braces — more commonly called clear aligners or Invisalign — are removable orthodontic appliances that straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, Dr. Kevin Chin provides invisible braces treatment for adults and teens using custom-fabricated clear aligner trays.
For mild to moderate orthodontic cases — crowding, spacing, and many bite issues — clear aligners produce equivalent results to traditional braces. Very complex malocclusion, severe skeletal discrepancies, or cases requiring significant vertical tooth movement may still be better addressed with traditional braces. Dr. Chin assesses your specific situation and tells you honestly which approach is appropriate.
Adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite problems are typically good candidates. Good candidates are also committed to wearing the aligners 20–22 hours per day — invisible braces require patient compliance to work. Patients who frequently remove their aligners will see delayed or incomplete results.
Clear aligners are nearly invisible at normal conversational distance. They're undetectable in most photos and on video calls. Patients who are very concerned about visibility during the first few days of a new aligner set may notice very slight visibility, but this diminishes quickly.
City of Angels Dentistry is at 1127 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1100 in Downtown LA — accessible from the Financial District, Bunker Hill, the Arts District, Koreatown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake.
Cost varies based on case complexity and treatment duration. Dr. Chin provides a complete cost estimate at the consultation. Financing is available at City of Angels Dentistry.
Yes in many cases. Clear aligners can treat mild to moderate overbite. Severe overbite cases may require traditional braces or orthodontic-surgical treatment. Dr. Chin assesses your bite at the consultation.
Aligners are removed for brushing and flossing. The aligners themselves are cleaned by rinsing with water and brushing gently. Soaking in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a mild denture cleaner is also effective.
