Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment issues for adults and teens. The best way to know is a consultation with Dr. Kim.

Good Candidates
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps and spacing between teeth
  • Mild to moderate bite issues
  • Overbite and underbite
  • Open bite
  • Adults and teens (Invisalign Teen available)
May Need Another Approach
  • Severe skeletal misalignment (may require surgery combined with braces)
  • Very complex tooth rotations
  • Significant vertical discrepancies
A note on case complexity: Dr. Kim has completed advanced Invisalign coursework and regularly treats cases other dentists refer out. He will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.

Invisalign from a Dentist Who Also Treats Your Whole Mouth

When you get Invisalign at a standalone orthodontic office, tooth movement is the only focus. At Kairos Dental Group, Dr. Kim monitors your gum health, bite function, and overall dental health throughout the entire course of treatment — not just the position of your teeth.

That means if a cavity develops mid-treatment, or gum issues emerge as spacing changes, it is caught and addressed immediately — not discovered after your aligners are finished.

Invisalign FAQ

Most patients notice mild pressure for the first day or two after switching to a new tray. That pressure is the aligner moving your teeth — it is not painful for the large majority of people. Over-the-counter pain relievers handle it easily if needed.

20 to 22 hours per day. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything except water, and brushing. Wearing them less than that slows treatment and can cause the next tray to not fit correctly.

No. Coffee stains the aligner material quickly and traps the liquid against your teeth — a combination that accelerates tooth staining and increases cavity risk. Remove trays before any drink other than plain water, rinse your mouth before putting them back in.

A retainer. Teeth naturally want to drift back toward their original position, so a retainer holds your results. Immediately after active treatment you will wear it full-time for a short period, then typically nighttime only for the long term.

Yes. Invisalign treatment is available at both our Anaheim office (Mon/Wed/Fri, Sat mornings) and our Koreatown Los Angeles office (Tue/Thu, Sat mornings). You can start at either location and transfer between them if your schedule changes.

What Our Patients Say

★★★★★

I was nervous about starting Invisalign as an adult, but Dr. Kim made the whole process clear from the first scan. Six months later my teeth look better than they ever have. Worth every penny.

★★★★★

I went to two other dentists who said my case was too complicated for Invisalign. Dr. Kim looked at my scan and said he could treat it. He was right. My results are exactly what I wanted.

Michael K.
LA / Koreatown Patient — Yelp
★★★★★

The digital scan and preview were a game changer — I could actually see what my teeth would look like before committing. Dr. Kim also caught a small cavity during my check-in that I had no idea about. That alone made it worth coming here instead of a standalone ortho office.
