What is the Invisalign® process like for adults at Melanie Parker Orthodontics in San Diego, CA?

Your Teen’s First Consultation

At the initial visit, Dr. Parker will evaluate the smile, bite, and jaw alignment to determine if Invisalign is the right fit. We’ll also answer any questions about treatment and what to expect.

A Custom Treatment Plan for Teen Smiles

We use advanced technology like the iTero® digital scanner to capture precise 3D images of the teeth—no messy impressions needed. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that maps out each stage of tooth movement and estimated treatment time. Adults can even see a preview of how their smile will transform.

Custom Invisalign Aligners

A series of custom-made clear aligners are crafted from Invisalign’s SmartTrack® material. These aligners are smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible, making them easy to wear confidently at school, sports, and social activities.

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.

How will Invisalign fit into a professional lifestyle?

Clear, removable aligners allow adults to straighten their teeth discreetly, without interrupting work, meetings, or social engagements.

How is progress monitored throughout treatment?

Regular check-ins and careful monitoring ensure each set of aligners is worn on schedule and that teeth are moving according to the personalized treatment plan.
