Patients who come in asking about teeth alignment at City of Angels Dentistry usually fall into two groups: those who've been bothered by their alignment for years and finally decided to do something about it, and those who were told by Dr. Chin at a cleaning that their crowding is creating a hygiene problem worth addressing. Both are valid reasons. He's been aligning teeth in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and his approach to every alignment consultation is the same — honest assessment of the case, realistic outcome preview, and a practical plan.
Dr. Chin scans your teeth and creates a digital model. The 3D treatment simulation shows how your teeth will align at each stage of treatment.
Custom aligners progressively move your teeth toward their final positions. Each set is worn for two weeks. Progress is monitored at regular check-ins.

Invisalign treats crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. For mild to moderate alignment cases, clear aligners produce the same result as traditional braces. Severe skeletal bite issues may require traditional orthodontics or surgical intervention. Dr. Chin assesses your specific case at the consultation.
Yes. Crowded teeth create areas that are difficult to clean with normal brushing and flossing, leading to higher rates of cavities and gum disease in those areas. Uneven bite forces from misalignment cause accelerated wear on specific teeth over time. Proper alignment reduces these risks in addition to improving appearance.
Minor alignment cases may complete in 6 months. Moderate cases typically take 12–18 months. Complex cases take longer. Dr. Chin provides a realistic timeline estimate at the consultation based on your specific needs.

Yes. Aligned teeth are easier to clean thoroughly, which reduces plaque accumulation and lowers gum disease risk. Many patients see improvements in gum health alongside their alignment results.
Cost varies by case complexity and treatment duration. Dr. Chin provides a complete cost estimate at the consultation. Financing is available at City of Angels Dentistry.
It depends on the degree of misalignment. Minor crowding can sometimes be masked by veneers. Significant misalignment is usually better addressed with Invisalign first to ensure the veneers are placed on properly positioned teeth. Dr. Chin advises on the right sequence at your consultation.
Mild pressure when switching to a new aligner set is normal and typically lasts 1–2 days. Most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain. It diminishes as treatment progresses.
