Invisalign La Jolla
Invisalign has become the go-to solution for patients seeking a beautiful, confident, straight smile without the discomfort and appearance of metal braces.
Dr. Sabourin in La Jolla specializes in bringing this modern solution to patients needing orthodontic treatment.
This guide will discuss the ins and outs of Invisalign treatment, from the initial consultation with Dr. Sabourin to maintaining your new smile after treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign clear braces are an alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment options and are ideal for straight teeth for most adults and teens.
Invisalign braces enable straightening teeth with little interference with your lifestyle.
In addition to being more comfortable than metal braces, most people won’t even know you’re wearing braces because they’re so inconspicuous.
When you choose Invisalign, you’ll receive a series of 20–26 custom-made, clear, removable aligners created specifically for you. The aligner trays are smooth, comfortable, virtually invisible braces that fit snugly over your teeth.
Most patients typically complete their treatment within a year, although some may achieve their desired straight smile in as little as six months.
The Benefits of Invisalign
- Discreet orthodontic treatment
- It doesn’t require any food limitations
- Smooth and comfortable to wear
- Greater self-confidence during treatment
- Fits busy adult and teen lifestyles
- Removable aligners allow proper brushing and flossing for good oral health

Detailed Treatment Steps

At your initial consultation, Dr.Sabourin will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign is the right option. He believes in communication as transparent as the clear aligners you’ll receive, so he always tells you what to expect and discusses costs upfront.

Using the iTero digital scanning system, Dr. Sabourin takes 3D digital images of your teeth to create a precise treatment plan, including exact movements and estimating how long treatment will take.

Next, the impressions are sent to the Invisalign dental lab to create your customized trays using an advanced 3D printing process. Dr. Sabourin works closely with Invisalign on any adjustments that need to be made to ensure your aligners precisely match his specifications.

When the last tray has been worn for the final two weeks, some patients still need minimal adjustments to achieve a perfect smile. If you require this, Dr. Sabourin will contact Invisalign to order “refinement” trays without any additional charge.
